What "well-loved" songs can't you stand?

For a bit of light relief. We're watching Christmas TOTP from 1995 and Robson & Jerome were on singing Unchained Melody. I bloody hate that song, I hate the Righteous Brothers version too, it's so wail-y (I get that's why it's unchained but I think it should be re-chained and chucked in the sea).

What classic songs make you want to chew your own ears off?

Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty and Teardrops by Womack and Womack.
And yes, that Aerosmith song. Dislike it so much I can't be arsed typing the title out.

@APJ1

"I don't wanna miss a thing" - Aerosmith 😬 I detest it

Same! The worst part is when Steven Tyler gets screechy towards the end.

For me the worst part is when it starts playing 😆 😆

Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison. Awful

Kiss from a Rose - Seal. Shite.

Imagine - John Lennon. It's been spoiled by the dribbling and snivelling and oh I love this by everyone who listens to it. For me, a not very good song has just been over played.

Angels - good enough song but what's the deal with it ? I can't cope with it since hearing it being murdered on an episode of the t.v. show, 'Early Doors.'

Last Christmas - very boring song that's now been horribly overplayed.

Spaceman Came Travelling - Chris De Burgh. WTAF utter shite is that ?

FestiveDigestives · 19/12/2020 22:47

White Christmas. So dreary.

Dancing in the moonlight makes me reach for the nearest taser

gottakeeponmovin · 19/12/2020 22:51

I also hate brown eyed girl

FestiveDigestives · 19/12/2020 22:54

@KodakNancyEurope

I thought Dancing in the Moonlight was universally hated by all except Heart FM DJs. Such an irritating song!

Gormless · 19/12/2020 22:55

‘Chestnuts roasting on an open fire...’ So tedious.

Nia18 · 19/12/2020 22:58

Kylie - can't get you out of my head

Makes my teeth itch.
Kylie is gorgeous, but her singing voice goes through me.

TheSilentStars · 19/12/2020 23:05

Any faux crooner shite. Buble-boakery.

Anything by a breathy half sung half talked (because they can't actually sing) faux flower-hippy child.

Bridge over troubled water.

Get fucked, the pair of you.

Angel2702 · 19/12/2020 23:07

Hey Jude

KiKiDeluxe · 19/12/2020 23:09

Anything by Adele. It's so not subtle. I don't deal with that full on emotion very well Confused

wowfudge · 19/12/2020 23:11

I love A Spaceman Came Travelling! Have to agree about Angels and Early Doors - I once went to a Christmas do where there was an eerily reminiscent arm waving sing along to Angels. It was hilarious. And there was an Abba tribute band.

Nettleskeins · 19/12/2020 23:13

Sweet Caroline
Imagine
YMCA
Uptown girl
Jingle bells
Valerie

I love most of the ones you lot hate thoughGrin

BreadSauceIsLife · 19/12/2020 23:14

Adel- Hello

I would rather burst my own eardrums than listen to it, not even kidding.

notacooldad · 19/12/2020 23:21

So many, a lot that have been mentioned here.
My biggest hates are
Walking on sunshine
Peter frampton's show me the way.
We built this city on rock n roll
Crazy crazy crazy nights by kiss
On a day like this by elbow.
fairy tale of New York.
Dancing in the moonlight. Toploader
Lonely by Akon.Fantastic day
Anything by Haircut 100 ( although Nick Haywood's recent stuff is good and he is looking great these days!
When love and hate collide def Leppard. A good rock band but a Terri le song
Same with Europe and the final count down. A good band but a terrible song.
Most songs but Thin Lizzy.

Dotinthecity · 19/12/2020 23:28

My most hated song is I would walk 500 miles by The Proclaimers. Everyone I know loved it but it sets my teeth on edge.
