Heart Of Glass makes me want to be violent, I cannot stand it. I’m not sure what it is. But something about the lyrics, voice and tune trigger something inside me. It came on the radio in the delivery room whilst I was in active labour and it made me distressed until it was turned off.

Also, Ed Sheeran’s songs. Mainly due to the weird lyrics. “My bedsheets smell like you.” Wtf? And in a recent one “I want to drink your smile.” How does one ‘drink a smile’? On the rocks? Also the song where he goes on about all of the depressing hardships his (I’m guessing made-up for the song) friends have fallen upon. One doesn’t see his kids, one is divorced, bla bla bla. It annoys me because it’s not his place to go on about their (made-up, in all fairness) problems for a good song. If the friends are real I hope he asked for permission. This is the same song where he goes on about driving 90mph down country lanes. And the less said about Galway Girl the better.

Listen to Charlene "I've never been to me"

It is a song that you could literally use as a form of torture. Makes your ears bleed and your head explode with the most goddam awful lyrics EVER written.

I dare you to listen to it and tell me you disagree.

Adele - go easy on me , it’s the type of self indulgent tripe my mother would sigh along to

Kid Laroi shouting about how you can’t make a wife out of a hoe

That one see beneath your beautiful “take it off now girl take it off now girl”
Basically anything that’s really cringey , whiney or overly sexual or suggestive that makes turn off the radio when I’m driving with kids or the elderly

this one annoys me as it was always playing when my daughter was little and I heard her singing Daddy I've fallen for a monster, gave me the rage. Terrible messaging for small kids.
Stooshe.

Somehow he's scaring me to death
He's big and he's bad
I love him like mad
Momma, he's the best I ever had
Daddy I've fallen for a monster
He got a black heart

Perfect by Fairground Attraction, not perfect, Eddi Reader should have stuck to being a backing singer for Alison Moyet.

BorderlineHappy · 20/02/2022 19:39

Shiny Happy People it's just so cringeworthy and ott.

Milkshake by Kellis - yuck

That annoying one by Sam and the Womp. It's a catchy tune but at one point it was used to advertise absolutely everything. It's been used on an advert recently and it just irritates me now.

I also hate that bit on red alert by basement Jaxx when she screams. I actually quite like the song but that bit gets my teeth on edge and is so unnecessary.

PenguindreamsofDraco · 20/02/2022 20:08

Sexual Healing makes me want to throw things. I once chucked someone purely for playing that as we were getting frisky.

Cattenberg · 20/02/2022 20:08

@Funkyslippers

Also agree with It Wasn't Me. Makes no sense. So his girlfriend stood there watching the whole time they were shagging in all those different places? 🙄
You should hear The Wurzels’ cover version. Actually, no you shouldn’t.
TheChosenTwo · 20/02/2022 20:09

@flinginflangin I have that sam and the womp song on my running playlist Grin it’s so loud and shouty plus I like the bit about 16 pints of rum!!
But yeah, I’m not sure I’d ever listen to it other than that.

Not meaning to derail, but that was deliberate. Michael Stipe was fed up with the stereotype that REM made miserable music, so set out to create something as self-consciously upbeat as possible. He doesn’t even like performing it.

Not combine Harvester I take it😀

TheBigPeach · 20/02/2022 20:13

Karma Chameleon, could never stand it even as a child

Anything written by The Beautiful South

"I love you to the bottom of my pencil case"

"She's a perfect 10 but she wears a 12"

Pure rage when I hear those lyrics in particular 😡

RincewindsHat · 20/02/2022 20:17

Without You by the Kid Laroi. Literally a guy singing about how he's an abusive tw*t but he doesn't care...calls his ed a ho a breath after begging her to take him back.

I can't believe that you wouldn't believe me
Fuck all of your reasons
I lost my shit, you know I didn't mean it
Now I see it, you run and repeat it
And I can't take it back, so in the past is where we'll leave it, huh
So there you go, oh
Can't make a wife out of a ho, oh
I'll never find the words to say I'm sorry
But I'm scared to be alone

Westberg77 · 20/02/2022 20:20

Somebody that I used to know by Gotye… hate hate hate that song with such passion!..

funinthesun19 · 20/02/2022 20:23

Ruin My Life - Zara Larsson.
A song about wanting a nobhead because you think you can’t do any better. Yay!

KimchiWithMe · 20/02/2022 20:23

Underworld - Born Slippy

Sex on Fire - Kings of Leon

Anything by David Gray

SalmonEile · 20/02/2022 20:24

@KimchiWithMe

I confessed to not liking that upthread. Grin It's a terrible song.
Acheyknees · 20/02/2022 20:32

George Harrison, Got my mind set on you.
Awful, awful, Awful, like a bloody nursery rhyme
