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 detest Bohemian Rhapsody. I hate it and the tune, the lyrics, everything. I loved Queen but that is the one song of theirs, in fact the only song I can think of at the moment that I truly hate.

You're Gorgeous, that song is creepy!

This was my first thought. It was played to death when it first came out and then never really went away - yet it was a bit shite in the first place.

Another one that used to drive me mad was ‘I Can’t Wait For The Weekend to Begin’ (not sure if that’s actually the title!) At the time or came out, we used to have Radio 1 on in the office all day and Colin Murray used to think it was hilarious to play it first thing on a Monday morning. Every. Fucking. Monday.

A more recent one that also drove me crackers at work was called ‘Play That Song’. I can’t remember who sang it, but it’s to the tune of ‘Heart and Soul’ (the song Tom Hanks plays on the giant piano in Big). We had an internal radio station and they played it over and over until I wanted to run amok with a cleaver.

Wish I could like him but George Ezra does my head in a bit, as does Bastille

I hate Someone Like You by Adele. The 2nd verse sounds like it was written by a 3 year old

Oh anything by Adele actually depressing droning. The last one was the worst.

That 'Shotgun' song is like a childrens ryhme, and the lyrics are

Shotgun
Hot sun
Someone

Interesting replies!

I probably have too many to name, but the one I keep hearing at the moment is that Hair toss, Check my nails one.

Also agree with It Wasn't Me. Makes no sense. So his girlfriend stood there watching the whole time they were shagging in all those different places? 🙄

Dire Straits’ Walk of Life makes me want to spew. My brother occasionally sends me it when he wants to annoy me.

Thinking about it, any rictus-grin-cheerful-we-are-having-a-GRRRREAT-time song makes me ridiculously angry cf. Perfect by Fairground Attraction, Walkin’ on Sunshine, Friday I’m in Love (the Cure totally blotted their melancholy copybook with that monstrosity).

I’m a real hit at parties

Anything by The Smiths.... I'll get me coat..

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.

This made me cackle like a drunken bag lady and then have a coughing fit

If her daddy's rich take her out for a meal.
If her daddy's poor then do what you feel...

If I Were A Boy by Beyoncé.
She ings about how she would do thinks differently if she were a boy and I think 'what's stopping you? Women don't have to put up with all the shit that you seem to think they do.'

@NorthernSoul55

I'll keep 'Please, please, please, Let me get what I want' then we'll bin the rest.

I loath ' love shack ' it is an awful record.
Don't mind 'heart of glass' , but then I am a Blondie fan. (Rapture is terrible though. )

Ed Sheeran lyrics are a bit odd sometimes , I think he tries to be too edgy.
Most Beyoncé records have me reaching for the mute button

I think give missed them point of that one. She's saying she'd act the same way as she does now not in the way many men are perceived to act, would treat women well etc

I don’t like ‘you can call me Al either’ it’s the ‘roly poly little bat faced girl’ line that makes my hackles rise!

That above link was for lesperance as it is the first thing I think of when I hear Stay.
Play that song was by Train.
I forgive them only because of 50 ways to say goodbye.

As to earworms at work, usually because of tapes on repeat, mine would be Oleta Adams with her getting here like an arab man... ruined my Saturdays!

I also hate Whoops Now buy Janet Jackson. Used to be played on the radio all the bloody time. Hate her whiny voice and the fact the only words I could make out were the title which makes no sense

I don’t want to miss a thing by Aerosmith. Hate it.

'The Smiths' are brilliant!
dh used to hate them , but he agrees that ' please please let me get what I want' is a classic. Only one of their songs he can tolerate!

Hate If You're Not the One by Daniel Bedingfield, stalker ex loved it, go figure! And I really can't bear UB40 Red, Red Wine, its so drony

@ChameFangeNail

I can’t stand Bohemian Rhapsody.

I'm with you on that. Also anything by Catatonia...it's like nails on a blackboard every time I hear her voice.
