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.

"Lovely Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay" by Bill Withers.

Fuck off Bill, just fuck off.

Yes! I was going to say this one too! That long note just feels so gratuitous.

Oh, and I know Will and Janette did a well-received Contempowaft to it on but 7 years (Lukas Graham) grinds my gears

Anything by Daniel Bedingfield or his sister is torture.
I normally don't mind James Blunt but his latest one ' adrenaline' isn't great. Very repetitive and played to death on radio two lately.

Agreed about that loathesome dirge Imagine. (Love Heart of Glass, though.)

Anything that Adele bleats about, her voice is hellish.

Proud by heather small cannot abide her voice
Around the world by Lisa stansfield again it's her voice
Walking on sunshine so tacky and predictable

Most of Ed Sheehan makes me squirm.

Galway Girl is patronising in the extreme and the racial stereotyping is so bad. It sounds like they got very drunk and had a one night stand, hardly 'falling in love'...

I fucking loathe The Power of Love, the Jennifer Rush version. Hate it hate it hate it. It makes no sense and, frankly, if she's frightened she should maybe be getting her ducks in a row and thinking about LTB.

Bit OT but over one of the lockdowns I went down a You Tube hole of watching reaction videos. Mainly Americans watching music videos. They also like to work out what the lyrics mean. Sometimes the songs have no meaning but they still like to have a guess. Much frowning over Bohemian Rhapsody.

One of them decided that the line 'you had better change it back or we will both be sorry' in 'Don't You Want Me' meant Phil Oakey was going to kill himself and the girl.

I find Bruno Mars unsettling in general. I feel awful but something about his facial expressions/style unsettles me, I’m the same with Johnny Depp who has a similar look.

Jolene - get some pride Dolly
Sexual healing - eugh the lyrics -narcissistic creep
Annie I'm not your daddy - rude attitude calling the child ugly
Billie-Jean same reason as above
Gonna love you a little bit more - predatory lyrics

I love Moonlight Shadow but they ruined it with the stupid "4am in the morning" lyric. Would it have been so difficult to go with "4 o'clock in the morning" instead? Where was the quality control Michael?

The Pina Colada song. He looks for a bit on the side then realises his ‘lady’ is also looking for a bit on the side and then they just have a good ol’ laugh about it. The lyrics are a cringe fest. And the singer’s voice is really annoying, as is the rhythm.

Anything by Doja Cat. I cannot cope with it.

I’m laughing at this thread
It’s made me realise I never listen to the lyrics! I do tend to make up my own words though. I like loads of songs mentioned on here but 2 that I especially loathe are groove is in the heart and adventure at the fairground (or whatever, by simply red?) I hate them both so much that I have to leave the room and ‘go out for a cigarette’ when they come on. They grate on me horrendously. I don’t even fucking smoke

That One Direction song where "She belongs to me..."

I Can't Live (If Living Is Without You). Mariah Carey's version. My dad walked out of the door to his floozy harpy homewrecking child abuser of an other woman while his wife held his 11 month old baby and his 3 young daughters sobbed, and this song played on the cheap radio in the kitchen.

This song makes me want to scream

Aerosmith - I Don't Want to Miss a Thing

Bryan Adams & Mel C - When You're Gone

'Go easy on meeee baby ' .. why should we Adele? ..
You show cancelling whiney woman . ( I used to be a fan once and she can sing , but hate this particular song and her segment at the Brits this year)
I want her to write some nice upbeat pop happy songs and start to smile again!! She has so much to be happy about.
Doja cat does sound like a cat out on the prowl at night. Awful 'singing ' , what is that about ??

Any misogynistic crap sung by rappers, there's one at the moment saying I won't give you flowers but I'll give you my wood or some shit

The crazy frog songs popular a while back
Teeth on edge just thinking about it.
Saturday night by Wigfield.
Most novelty records are rubbish though.
' shake a tree' indeed !!

Arrdee Flowers- we're supposed to say his name you aint Bey bruv

Drunkpanda I don't think there's any line in the song that says he gave her a scar....!

Anything by Simply Red and wretched Dancing in the Moonlight. Makes me so angry

That creepy Father John Misty song with the lyrics about a wedding dress "someone was probably murdered in"
