To ask which songs give you the rage?

[Chocolattay]

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.

I Will Survive probably because my dm played it constantly when df left.
Fields of Gold.
Amazing Grace absolutely hate it.

And my dc know that if they play All Things Bright and Beautiful at my funeral I'll haunt them!
A vicar told me that when he asks people to pick hymns they often pick the first 3 they know hence
beginning with A.

"Lovely Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay" by Bill Withers.

Fuck off Bill, just fuck off.

Came on to say Dancing in the Noonlight, but knew someone would’ve beaten me to it! It’s got to be up there in the top 10 most universally annoying songs ever.

Perfect Day by Lou Reed. Creeps me out. Hate his voice, hate the song.

Sexual Healing and Sitting on the Dock of the Bay.

Both completely dreary dirges and so uninspiring.

I'm so good at recognising them within 2 notes, I can turn the radio over to a different channel before they get started!

Yellow Submarine.

Loathe it.

And who could forget 'Let it Go?'

Actually, 'power ballads' in general can get in the bin. Unutterable, over-emotive, schmaltzy shoite.

@CarrieMoonbeams

"Lovely Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay" by Bill Withers.

Fuck off Bill, just fuck off.

Yes! This, too. Monotonous.

Pink. Give me a reason.

Despise this song with a passion! Everything about it is stupid.

Blurred Lines. Misogynistic bullshit

Your so vain. - you probably think this song is about you. Well it is about him! My DH and I argue about this.

If I Could Turn Back Time by Cher.

9-5 by Dolly Parton. I love Dolly but that song gives me the rage.

@CarrieMoonbeams

"Lovely Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay" by Bill Withers.

Fuck off Bill, just fuck off.

My DH can't listen to this. Apparently the extended note "makes his willy feel funny" 😂😂

I love your smile by Shanice. I was publicly and horribly dumped to this song when I was 16 and could honestly stab someone when I hear it now

Free fall in’ by Tom Petty. He was a total twat to that girl.

Cat Stevens Wild World

"But if you want to leave take good care

Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear

But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there"

Patronising, threatening bullshit.

She wants to leave you and, if this song is anything to go by, I don't bloody blame her!!

Also Mr Brightside. Overplayed and I have shitty personal experiences linked to it. And it still gets so much fucking air time.

That "We are young" song - I've heard kids singing it in a movie but it has a line about giving his girlfriend a scar

@liveforsummer

We love castle on the hill in our house. Maybe because I actually grew up in a small town country environment (with a castle on a hill behind my house 😆) where many of the people don't have huge aspirations and have never ventured more than a few miles from their family home. Dc and I always play it and sing along when driving down to visit. It's very nostalgic for me including some of the childhood and teen bits. Dd thinks the lyrics where he says 'ones brother overdosed' is 'ones brother owns the dogs' though - I haven't corrected her 😆. For me it's anything by George Ezra, something about that deep voice makes my skin crawl

Carisbrooke?

Come on Eileen-always hated that.
Love Shack-ditto.
Bohemian Rhapsody-too long, creepy and weird.
Most of Ed Sheeran stuff I would turn off. 'Push and pull like a magnet do'. No Ed.
And I hated Mr Brightside which the DSs subjected me to every car journey for months.

I can't pick just one so I'm going for anything Jess Glynn bleats her way through

It's such a visceral reaction. It's painful

I'll never use Jet2holidays because of that

Come on Eileen. Ugh - creepy as fuck.

Can’t stand that “It’s got to be-e-e-e-e perfect” song either. Really gets on my nerve endings!

Agree with Perfect Day as well. Ooh and my all time favourite hate! Relax by Frankie Goes To Hollywood. grits teeth even thinking about it

Anything by Heather Small.... I don't know why I react the way I do when I hear her voice..!!!
Also The only way is up by Yazz.... That just gives me the rage

Yup

@NormanStangerson no, Scottish Borders - there are actually loads of castles/towers on hills dotted about for historical (English invasions) reasons so there is more than one with significant memories for me.
