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.

Those poor ewes being likened to Jess Glynn, they don't deserve that! Grin

Agree with the Stereophonics, I only like one of their songs, Dakota, the worst one though for me is Handbags and Gladrags.

I'm wasting time on here before I go out so keep thinking of more singers and songs I don't like.

CounsellorTroi · 23/02/2022 10:24

Don’Cha (wish your girlfriend was hot like me) - Pussycat Dolls. Horrible song.

inheritancetrack · 23/02/2022 10:29

You're no one until you're somebody to someone else. Piss off. You don't need a man or a partner to complete you

LetsGoCrazyPurpleBanana · 23/02/2022 10:30

Got my mind set on you by George Harrison 😡

savethatkitty01 · 23/02/2022 11:18

My Sharona. Irritates me no end

the80sweregreat · 23/02/2022 11:42

Ahh, My Sharona , the riff on that song is sublime. Went to a quiz night once and the guy played it between rounds , it was great.
I'm not keen on the stereophonics , but Kelly Jones is so easy on the eyes I can forgive all their songs sounding the same.
Gladrags was just right for ' the office ' intro.
(Although that might have been the Rod Stewart version ? Not sure )
Isn't it strange how we all like different things ? I don't like jazz music at all , but I'm told it's great ..

the80sweregreat · 23/02/2022 11:44

The ' drove all night ' song, I'm sure it's ' I crept on your room , ' not crapped !! 😂
It is a creepy song though.

red321 · 23/02/2022 11:58

Whatever it's called that has the lyrics about staying up all night to get lucky.
All the single ladies
Girls just want to have fun
I loathe them all

I confess to liking Castle on the Hill, partly as my teenager though he was driving at "19" mph down those country lanes. More learner driver than rock and roll.

Build Me Up Buttercup
Just Want To Dance The Night Away

We quite like That's Not My Name by the Ting Tings. But only because DS misheard it as a toddler & gleefully sang 'It's on my knee' while pointing to it Grin.

MangoLipstick · 23/02/2022 12:25

I thought of another song - Alicia Keys , No One.

This one always gives me that same feeling you would get if someone was to scratch their nails down a blackboard. I can’t explain it. Her voice is good in other songs, but in this one, it sounds off key and shrill to me.

Verv · 23/02/2022 12:51

Rude by Magic.
Makes me want to slap the whiney little shite.

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 23/02/2022 13:53

I'm sure you're correct - but I'm about 9 Grin

Nah! The lyrics are really clear. Permission is asked...

Yeah, I know I should have rung first but I had to get away and, in every verse - is that all right?

But yes, s/he was woken from his/her selppe - and then asked.

Now, had you said this specific version, I would have been right behind you (running for my ear plugs)

MorningStarling · 23/02/2022 14:50

"I Will Survive" drives me insane.

PussGirl · 23/02/2022 14:53

Echo Beach - Martha & the Muffins - always hated it

Jajajaj · 23/02/2022 14:56

@NameChangeCity123

I like the way you move.

The guys voice gives me the absolute creeps

Hahaha I know exactly what you mean. He sounds so sleazy.
Jajajaj · 23/02/2022 14:59

I heard James Blunt singing he doesn’t care if he overdoses or is comatose. I find it really offensive for this smug privileged man to sing about something he probably has no idea about. These things are not just words to use because they rhyme. So insensitive to people who have been suicidal.

Ahh I’m glad it’s not just me that fine Get Lucky creepy.

She’s up all night for good fun/I’m up all night to get lucky.

He’s just sat there waiting to make his move. Yuck.

Yes!! Awful narcissistic shite

And Adele Someone Like You. Why on earth would you stand outside your married exes house to show how how unhappy you are. Its weird

Jajajaj · 23/02/2022 15:06

I hate the lyric by Dizzee Rascal “even with your belly full you’re still sexy”.

Because that’s what’s important, he doesn’t mind her eating as he still finds her attractive Hmm. Total objectification.

the80sweregreat · 23/02/2022 15:07

Crept IN your room .. ( I wrote on by mistake )
it is bad though !
Anytime who wakes me up early would be told to get lost though !! Even if they 'drove all night '.

Cheeseandlobster · 23/02/2022 15:23

[quote okelydokelyneighbourino]This song my dd keeps playing. It's been stuck in my head for a month!

[/quote] I listened and was like "Ah what ate they on about. This is quite good" Then the lyrics started.

Yah Yah Yah gagagaga Daddy's got a gun Confused

Loveletters123 · 23/02/2022 16:08

@BelieveInPeople I think he wrote that song about his daughter Liv when he found out she was his daughter.

AncientofMuMu · 23/02/2022 16:32

Birdhouse in your soul by They might be giants makes me want to rip my ears off.

and pretty much every song by The beautiful South and The manic street preachers.
