What songs make you mad?

My local radio station have started playing What Would You Do? (City High song) a lot. It makes me mad everytime I hear it. It makes me even madder because it sticks in your head.

It's about a man going to a party with strippers. Then finding out one stripper is a single mum forced into prostitution and was sexually abused as a child. He gets all judgy about how she's letting herself and child down. No offers of help or solutions, no criticising the failure of the child's druggy dad, just lots of mysognony and vicgim shaming of her trying to look after her child. Also, he fails to see the irony that he/his friends are enjoying her striping and it's only an issue because he knew her at school. The other strippers are still just meat.

Grrr.

What songs make you mad but Just. Won't. Die?

Unholy fucks me off 😂

It Wasn’t Me. Like she saw you and you’re like “na girl you’re seeing things” Gaslighting twat

Anything when Ed sheeran goes on about kissing mouths, why does he struggle to kiss lips? 😂

Anything by Depeche Mode gives me the rage. I almost wept when I heard this morning that they’ve got a new album out.

OP that song sounds VILE

Sit Down by James - grrr I hate it - oh we're so angry at the world and all the oppression - we're gonna ...sit down and mope

MeMyCatsAndMyBooks · 15/02/2023 12:49

Goo goo dolls - iris, because it has bad memories attached. It played when I had still born Labour and whenever I hear it I immediately get angry. It's such a stupid song.

Never gonna not dance again by Pink.
Its not her normal style at all what was she thinking?!

Lazy lyrics and just a tacky feel to it

i agree. It's so not 'her' is it. Awful song.

Shaggy - it wasn't me. Godawful song about bragging about cheating. urgh.
and anything by George Ezra, particularly that 'green green grass' shite.

CoffeeAndCreativity · 15/02/2023 12:53

Anything by George Ezra, I have an irrational dislike for him and I have no idea why. My 15 year old DD loves him though!

I don’t hate the song that much for it but When Will I See You Again by the Three Degrees makes me think of sausages because of the food safety ad where it showed a load of sausages and the caption “sooner than you think if you don’t cook them properly”

Ditto 😂
I remember once reading that king Charles had a thing for Sheila Ferguson, the lead singer and he literally played that song on a loop.

Tubbyinthehottub · 15/02/2023 13:05

That awful James Blunt one where he sees a woman he fancies on the train and she is minding her own business with her boyfriend and yet he feels all sorry for himself because he's not with her. Ugh. And his wet voice all the way through just makes him sound like a pathetic weirdo freak.

I thought it was about depression and letting other sufferers know they are not alone.

MelloYellow · 15/02/2023 13:08

I absolutely hate that song too OP - it was produced by wyclef jean who did another awful song about strippers - perfect gentle man- also a shower of shite.

i also hate any cover of an old hit with a dance beat over it aka Jonas Blue Fast Car- how is that even clever music?!? It’s literally a song cover with a dance beat ?!
SHITE

Tara336 · 15/02/2023 13:14

Edwyn Collins - Girl like you possibly one of the most irritating song going, Lady Marmalade- ear worm song that I can't get rid of once I hear it and pretty much anything by Red Hot Chilli Peppers

RaininginDarling · 15/02/2023 13:17

Anything hardcore techno. It gives me the utter rage. I find it so unrelenting and oppressive. It wasn't fun growing up as a Genxer hating rave music.

RaininginDarling · 15/02/2023 13:18

Also agree about that irritating Edwyn Collins track.

BeverleyMacca16 · 15/02/2023 13:31

The Man Who Cant be Moved by The Script, stalkerish and weird

DaisyCornflowerBlue · 15/02/2023 13:32

I love Rag 'n' Bone Man, big chap, big voice, but when he gave half his song "Anywhere Away From Here" to Pink I thought, aargh! Career suicide! Sounds flipping horrible. Lucky R Rory survived. Just.

anonymousehoumus · 15/02/2023 13:32

Kate Bush

Do you turn them off and enjoy the silence?

Anything by Adele. (take it e e e e eeeeeeeeee e e ee e e asy on me ARGHGHGHGH)

Really shit covers of songs only done so that they can get used by love island and adverts for a fraction of the price of the original.

Stormzy.

Whitney Houston ''Saving All My Love For You'' - pathetic lyrics.

Quite a few of her songs actually.

This, and any other song that has women pining over, making themselves mugs, doormats and Fallback Girls for worthless players of guys and saying they will take breadcrumbs. Lots of them around in the 70s and 80s

Hurt So Good by Susan Cadogan
Woman in Love by the 3 Degrees
Waiting for a Star to Fall (can't recall who did this)
Just Be Good To Me/Dub Be Good To Me

Somebody Else's Guy by Jocelyn Brown is in that camp but I love the beat and the music so I am on the fence.

They make me fume.
But the guys are at it now, eg Lewis Capaldi. Tom Grennan.

ncqtime · 15/02/2023 13:57

Glad someone else mentioned unholy. Just urgh Kim's character getting off on the fact the cheaty man's a dad. So immature and disrespectful to the kids.

Waiting for a Star to Fall was by Boy Meets Girl and although a m/f duo, was sung by a male.

Lisa Stansfield - Around the World

has she not stopped to think he might not want to be found? Bit desperate to go around the whole world after him.
