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.

Grenade - Bruno Mars

Surely if he caught the grenade for her, she would still be close enough to die in the explosion? So stupid.

I can’t stand Bohemian Rhapsody.

@nightwakingmoon

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

I love Relax because of the great memories of it. It was the talk of school when it got banned on the radio, but those opening bars and I'm right there at the nightclub having the time of my life. Two Tribes was a tune as well.

Ah, memories.

Hey Jude…hate all the na-na-na nanna na-na-ing at the end “JudyJudyJudyJudy”

Calm down and sod off.

@ChameFangeNail

I can’t stand Bohemian Rhapsody.

We must be a very small club. I can't stand it or all the enthusing over it. And Queen in general TBF.

Friends by Anne Marie, I do actually like the song but I get cross at the guy she’s singing about not respecting her boundaries and turning up in the middle of the night. I want to say to her HE IS NOT YOUR FRIEND, friends do not do this!!! Men who have no respect do this.

@Onlyforcake

Proper laughing at Green Day being considered shouty there.

I'm thinking specifically of American Idiot!

Yep. I find most Queen songs really long and boring. Don’t Stop Me Now is another one that’s overplayed and dreadful.

Oh and the one by The Weekend that is about choking

People using "the rage" in a sentence makes me apoplectic with rage. 😎

@EdnaMole Yes! Hey Jude is probably my least favourite Beatles. That, and All You Need Is Love.

@ChameFangeNail

It's all a bit repetitive isn't it?I don't know if it's the done thing to say you don't rate Queen though.

The best things in life are free - Luther Vandross and Janet Jackson The bit were he says "I still don't think they've got it, let's tell them them one more time" 😠

Auberge - Chris Rea. Makes me feel murderous.

OP
What even are the lyrics to Heart of Glass? I swear at one point Blondie sings "you're cheesy like a dead girl"

I hate Just The Way You Are - it's meant to be very flattering but really he's just saying "you are terribly dull and I am fine with it". He's probably shagging someone else. She should LTB 😂

Also hate that song that says "when your body's had enough of me... I'm gonna love you a little bit more". Eeeeew! When you've had enough, you've had enough mate! The whole thing is fraught with cystitis.

@Thatsplentyjack

I won't say which exact song because it has my name in it. That's why I hate it. Guaranteed anytime I meet someone new (male) in a situation where alcohol is involved they will sing the song at me.

Apart from that there are probably at least 100 more songs that I just can't stand.

Laylaaaaaaa

Or could be Roxanne, do you pull on the red light by any chance?

I love Green Day, and Linkin Park, good job we're all different eh 😁

It's Caroline isn't it? I have never understood everyone's obsession with Sweet Caroline. Fuck off Neil.

Also anything sung by Rod Stewart - he's creepy to the extreme.

I have an absolute hatred for end-of-the-night singalong anthems and any other song that encourages people to shout along.

Don't Stop Me Now
Living on a Prayer
Don't Stop Believing
Mr Brightside
Chelsea Dagger

Although I do like Don't Look Back In Anger which is technically one of those songs...

Umbrella by Rihanna. I knew music was officially dead when I saw people excited about "ella ella ella eh eh eh".

Laylaaaaaaa

Or Lola - 2 songs, neither has great associations

My name is also a song title and I agree its bloody annoying. Mainly though anything by Coldplay is guaranteed to make me want to pull off my ears.

Firestarter by the Prodigy. Also, Shakespeare's Sister, Stay. Showing my age.

I lived abroad when this came out in a country where ela is a heavily used word. Ironically meaning what she frequently says right after it. Am fond of it as a result. It was incredibly popular.

Most songs that can be sung by a drunken crowd or at football match like Don't stop believing, Bohemian Rhapsody, Sweet Caroline, Living on a prayer... the list is endless and they're all so so bad. I'll add Fairytale of New York, its such a miserable old song I wish they'd let it die.
