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.

John Lennon's imagine. I really don't understand how so many people think it's one of the greatest songs in the world, including my husband. I actually hate it so much it makes me angry. Really don't know why 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️

^100 agree Imagine is a shit song

RomansTheyGoTheHouse · 07/02/2023 08:20

Also agree that Imagine is a shit song and I Will Not be lectured to about being a good person by a 'dreamer' who was actually a massive twat.

Alanis Morisette and her complete misunderstanding of irony.

"Lovely Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay" by Bill Withers.

Fuck off Bill, just fuck off.

YES!! I could be having a perfectly lovely day, thank you Mr Withers, and then your song comes on and makes me have violent thoughts!

And there’s another one with a high pitched long (I think violin) note running through it which triggers something in my brain & gives me a headache. Can’t remember what it’s called. Probably for the best - wouldn’t want it as an ear worm!

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

It's 'put on the red light'. Just sayin...

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

Maybe Roxanne is using the toilet in a care home and it's referring to the emergency alarm cord thingy.

Thankfully, it's not played as much now, but that asinine 'don't be afraid to catch feels' song was soooo irritating.

Maybe the youngsters found it perfectly normal, but to those of us of a slightly more mature persuasion, it just leaves you scratching your head as to why somebody might possibly be afraid to catch fish?! The singer even sang 'feels' to sound very like 'fish'!

EyesOfABlueDog this thread has been resurrected but I also hate Brimful of Asha. Even Fatboy Slim couldn't save it. I especially hate the 'everybody needs a bosom for a pillow' line. Um, I don't need one!

Sexual Healing and Sitting on the Dock of the Bay.

Two of my fav songs!

"Ooh Ah- just a little bit"~ by Gina G.

Just how did this song ever reach the charts..It is dire!

Lady in red by Chris De Burgh
I just called to say I love you by Stevie Wonder.
I think it's because they both were so overplayed in the 80s when they came out which was also my peak radio listening time.
I have heard both of those songs about 10 times more than anyone needs to hear a song in their entire life.
