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.

Ooh, I'd completely forgotten about the tweety birds on it. Yes: terrible.

Haven't had time to RTFT but my tuppence worth is
Wonderful Tonight - has horrible "Trophy Wife" vibes.
Lady in Red - it's a dirge sung by a despicable, monobrowed, nanny-shagging wankbadger.

Absolute anything by Abba. I like some of the their stuff but Radio 2 must have shares in their playlist as every week I usually hear them two or three times at least.

Also, We Built This City and Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now! Another couple of songs that usually appear every week - or so it seems! :-(

Anything by Jamiroquai - the twat in the hat's whiny voice is just so awful. I've fled shops when any of their songs come on.

@Whitewolf2

Blurred Lines. So sodding catchy but horrendous misogynistic lyrics.

I agree. May I direct you to "Got To Give It Up" by Marvin Gaye, from which Robin Thicke (by nature as well as by name) ripped off the outrageously catchy tune and got sued for it.

Mr Gaye's song will make you smile, make you laugh, make you dance without cringefulness!

"Blurred Lines" is also one of the worst music videos of all time.

[quote liveforsummer]@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. [/quote]
Does it begin with a J?

I've just thought- Drop It like it's hot. I love everything about it except the lyrics, which are so horrible I can't listen. But thats the point isn't it - if a suburban 52 year old white woman liked the lyrics, it wouldn't be doing its job. I just wish I could have the amazing voice, the incredible arrangement and production without the other shit.

Winds of Change by The Scorpions
Ugh!

Hotel California - The Eagles
Stairway To Heaven - Led Zeppelin
House of the Rising Sun - The Animals
Heaven is a Place on Earth - Belinda Carlisle
Brimful of Asha - not sure who - Corner Shop
Fairytale of New York

Chesney Hawkes 'One and Only'. Hated it when it came out when I was in 6th form and still turn radio off/to another channel when it comes on.

I did laugh at the dislike of Minnie Ripperton's Lovin' You.

I bought this when it first came out and played it to death. Fortunately for my parents, I had a record player in my room or I think they might have forced me to leave home if I'd been playing it in the lounge as often as I did.

Oh to be a teenager again ...😁

Minnie Ripperton's Lovin' You

Oh that song could shatter glass !.

God Only Knows by the Beach Boys.

I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it.

In other words, if I stop loving you I will pretend that I still do, so that's alright then.

Wonderwall. All that whining!

Never Can Say Goodbye by Gloria Gaynor. Good hoppy tune, but lyrics sound like she is trying to leave an abusive relationship. The opposite of I Will Survive.

Boppy, not hoppy.

Clean Bandit. Awful stuff.

24 Hours From Tulsa.
He couldn't keep it in his pants while on the way home and sent a cruel letter to his wife with the gory details of how he had fallen for someone else and was 'never, ever' coming home again.

Bastard.

Lucky for them that nobody called Social Services after hearing screaming coming constantly from your bedroom

Can you dig it by the Mock Turtles. I hate that song, crap voice

God Only Knows by the Beach Boys.

I've never really thought about it, but I wonder (genuinely) if that is what they really meant, or if they were using a figure of speech, as in "I might only stop loving you if the stars fall out of the sky" ergo "I will never stop loving you".

A bit like in Wichita Lineman - "I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time" - where the first line suggests a vague element of doubt, but the second line confirms that it would never be founded?

Clean Bandit. Awful stuff.

I know it was actually called Bronco or Izal (as in 'is al' spread over everywhere'), but whenever I hear the name 'Clean Bandit', it instantly makes me think it should have been the brand name for the shiny, crusty, smeary bogroll we had at school in my day.

That was awful stuff, too!

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll

Yes, it was Bronco and Izal was the one we had in school. Absolutely vile stuff, like tracing paper and slippery too!

I now dislike Clean Bandit even more after your post

I’d forgotten, but anything by Biffy Clyro. Awful shouty dirges that makes me feel cross. I’m a huge fan of new music but I cannot understand the appeal. Same with Idles. Just don’t get it.

@cobblers123

Clean Bandit. Awful stuff.

I can never forgive them for their part in the emergence of that abomination Glynne.
