OK so my husband completely disagrees with me on this. I cry at pretty much everything, he doesn't.
He gets teary at this song... To me it's like nails down a blackboard... The song..
Imagine by John lennon
I can't explain it but I hate it with a passion, it makes cringe
Am I the only one like my husband says or do others get the same feeling....what other songs have that effect on people???

Blurred lines.
Get on the floor (jlo &pitbull)
Dancing in the moonlight
Lazy song (bruno mars)

Theres one from an advert from last year which was played on the radio a lot, it's a female empowerment type song but I cant remember the name or even the lyrics now (thankfully )

My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion

Anthilda · 31/03/2020 05:39

Firework katy perry

rayoflightboy · 31/03/2020 07:26

Daniel Bedding field "If I'm not the one" my dp played that song to death.I hate it.
Imagine is awful.
Anything by Ed Sheeran especially Galway Girl.What a load of bollix that song is.
Anything by Sam Smith,they are just whiny,overblown white.

SlipSlidin · 31/03/2020 07:29

Sam Smith has a horrible voice, his cover of I Feel Love was one of the worst things I’ve ever heard.

ILLBESUZIE · 31/03/2020 07:31

Happy by Pharrell Williams - I hate it

Elephantonascooter · 31/03/2020 07:41

Do they know its Christmas by band aid.

"well tonight thank god its them instead of you"
"where the only water flowing is the bitter string of tears"
"the Christmas bells that ring there are the clanging chimes of doom"
how fucking festive

Muppetpuppet · 31/03/2020 08:20

Anything by Ellie Goulding.

Especially that 50 shades shite.

Can’t stand her breathy little girl voice and her songs sound like she’s making them up as she sings them.

ArthurDentsSpaceTowel · 31/03/2020 08:48

That new Bond song by Billie Eilish. She has no singing voice at all. Plus anything by James Brown with his uniquely annoying vocal fry that makes me want to cough.

Can't name any of the songs though as I'm very good at not remembering the names to the ones I hate.

Biker47 · 31/03/2020 09:04

You're Gorgeous - Babybird.

Utter shite.

Sparklypurpleunicornsaremyfav · 31/03/2020 09:09

😂😂😂 I'm loving these, all though there are quite a few that I like! 🤦🏻‍♀️ I can't stand ronan keating so am also adding by him

I like loads of the songs people have listed!

My hates are:

Come on Eileen.

Don’t you want me by the Human League

Angels

Anything by UB40

CatherineVelindre · 31/03/2020 09:19

The Whitney Houston cover of I Will Always Love You.

But I bloody love the original. Dolly Parton is a genius.

WaterIsWide · 31/03/2020 09:22

Robbie Williams infuriates me as he absolutely loves himself. He always does that thing at gigs where he hold the microphone to the audience to hear them sing....no no no I paid £80+booking fee to see you (not that I’d ever go to his gigs) so do your job!

This^ My husband agrees.

What is love by Haddaway Fucking dreadful song. I really wonder why they bothered putting his in the charts. Can't sing along to it, can't dance to it and the continual refrain, 'what is love' just reminds me how a

Also the song that goes, 'shake your boom boom down.' Yuck - hate it. I think I saw a girl at a party dancing seductively to it and I thought oh, your one of those ones pretending to like reggae style music to appear cool.

Shamoo · 31/03/2020 09:23

Love Shack. Infuriates me.

WaterIsWide · 31/03/2020 09:24

awful it is.

Albeit it reminds my husband of being at the dentist - he found it ironic.

Happy pharrell
Sumer of 69

Vintagehearts · 31/03/2020 09:29

Someone like you by Adele.

BovaryX · 31/03/2020 09:46

Anything by Celine frickin Dion. Ditto Witney Houston.

Mascotte · 31/03/2020 09:49

Oh, god yes, @Vintagehearts! Caterwauling, goes right through me, as my mother would’ve said

Mascotte · 31/03/2020 09:50

I also genuinely thought the Hello one was a pisstake when I first heard it

waterlego · 31/03/2020 09:52

That Godawful Pina Colada song.
Boys of Summer

There are probably loads more, but those are the two I hate the most.

Livpool · 31/03/2020 10:08

Come on Eileen and Dancing Queen

I hate them!

Spidey66 · 31/03/2020 10:15

Hold my hand or whatever it is. The one on the Jet2 ads. We went to Majorca a couple of years on Jet2 and it was on a loop during take off and landing. Drove me insane. And now there's some FB thing where families are miming it during lockdown. Do tuck off my FB feed!

Spidey66 · 31/03/2020 10:18

Fuck not tuck.
