Your list of most annoying songs ever

[Rocknrule]

Surfin' Bird - Trashmen (based on the Family Guy episode, although I have to admit I kind of like this one)
Survivor - Destiny's Child
Life's What You Make It - Hannah Montana (to be fair, I hate any song by her except for "Party in the USA")
Friday - Rebecca Black (she sounds like Alvin the Chipmunk's girlfriend)
Downtown - don't know the artist's name and don't want to but I'm pretty sure that is the name of the song
All-Star - Smash Mouth (I know almost everyone loves this song, but for me it brings back bad memories of middle school)
Summer Girls - LFO
I Just Haven't Met You Yet - Michael Bubble (I hate this song for personal reasons)

[grilled onions]

1. Downtown--the 60's tune?

Petula Clark sang it

[XemaSab]

3. I like that song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBCvryIc4Wc

[Rocknrule]

12. Oh God - if I ever hear that song on the radio it's stuck in my head literally for weeks

Same with "Survivor"

[geardaddy]

110. The B-52s do a good version, too.

[Vidar]

97. One of my favorites from that era.

[hibbing]

2. Anything by the Eagles

Hey,
Was lame when it was originally released, was lame when I used to listen to "classic rock" radio stations, and is lame when I hear it in elevators today. I have heard Hotel California and all their other garbage way too many times, so, anything by them!

Peace

[Archae]

140. Especially their "Soap Opera" music.

Like "Lyin' Eyes."

"Cheatin' side of town?" :wtf:

[Frank Cannon]

4. "Hey There Delilah" by Plain White Ts

Sounds like it was written and performed by an 8th-grader who just got a guitar for his birthday.

[Pool Hall Ace]

42. love this description!

:rofl: So apt!

[HappyMe]

5. Katey Perry ......

especially that Firework song!
That weird nasal Heineken commercial tune! :thumbsdown:

I hate that Surfin Bird song also.
Knights in White Satin :nuke:

[Angry Dragon]

60. Love Nights in White Satin

[Vidar]

98. Me too.

[EnviroBat]

70. Spot on.

Katey Perry sucks. Pop music is garbage.

[Dulcinea]

120. "Come On Eileen" by Dexy's Midnight Runners.

I despise that song with every fiber of my being. And Katy Perry is terrible.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

132. Me, too. Mostly because some dimwit on WLS a few years ago used it as her themesong.

[kick-ass-bob]

6. Loveshack.

This is so annoying that all others pale in comparison.

[Dr. Strange]

16. Don't make me kick your ass, Bob.

:evilgrin:

[kick-ass-bob]

27. LOL - who knew there was so much B52 Love around here?

:rofl:

[KamaAina]

33. Now, now. Per longstanding DU custom, only Skittles is allowed to kick Lounge ass.

So we're just gonna have to boot this one in the head! :P

[Tuesday Afternoon]

99. Like ... I am going to go ask Skittles to kick ass for me?

when I am fully capable of kicking ass all by myself . . .

Skittles list is so long already with all her promised ass kickings.

I hate to burden her with mine.

:kick:

[nolabear]

87. Hey...if I wasn't a therapist I'd have that as my ringtone.

But it would be just too much to explain if it went off by mistake in a swssion.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

100. you are a therapist ...?

:rofl:

[IDemo]

91. Private Idaho

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7t7cGwN7_0

:silly:

[raccoon]

7. "Macarthur Park," "I've Never Been to Me," "Tell Me Something Good." nt

[MrScorpio]

8. "MacArthur Park"? You are dead to me. nt

[raccoon]

9. You like that song? nt

[MrScorpio]

10. I usually post it once or twice a year

It's a good memory from my childhood

[Rocknrule]

11. The Weird Al version is good though

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gh4zvQfDhi0

[geardaddy]

114. How about the Richard Harris "talk-sing" version?

:D

[leftyladyfrommo]

46. I love MacArthur Park.

I know, I know. It has been called the worst song ever written.

But I love it.

[meow mix]

13. lee greenwood usa song..

:puke:

[KamaAina]

34. Also, the Toby Keith "Boot in the Ass" song.

:puke: :puke:

[ScreamingMeemie]

62. Hahaha... That's what I call that song too.

:D

[Walk away]

14. "Say Say Say" Paul McCartney/Michael Jackson

And just about anything by Wings

[gratuitous]

15. So many titles, so little bandwidth

"Seasons in the Sun" by Terry Jacks
"Muskrat Love" by the Captain and Tennille
"Muskrat Love" by America
"Escape" by Rupert Holmes
"Piano Man" by Billy Joel (he recorded other songs, radio DJs)
"Brown Eyed Girl" by Van Morrison (ditto)
"Maggie May" by Rod Stewart (double ditto)
"Reelin' in the Years" by Steely Dan (triple ditto)

[redwitch]

77. OMG! America actually covered Muskrat Love?!

Your last four I totally agree with. Why don't they try
NY State of Mind?
Into the Mystic?
Gasoline Alley?
Damn, Senior moment. Can't recall a single other song by Steely Dan. :blush:

[Dr. Strange]

17. The song by The Pretenders.

The one with the words, where Chrissie Hynde is singing. Ugh.

[Dulcinea]

121. Chrissie Hynde rocks! eom

[hifiguy]

18. "Lady" by my least favorite band ever, Stynx.

err, Styx. Pompous, overbearing, over-emoted in a way that would make even Simon LeBon blanch in embarrassment, those horrid shrieking triad harmonies. Everything musically vomitous in one hideously overbaked cow pie. Dennis DeYoung is a walking emetic, even moreso when festooned with that unspeakably hideous porn moustache. :nuke:

And that Greenwood song makes me :puke: instantaneously. Ugh.

[Ikonoklast]

20. So, to be precise, you don't care for Styx?

I had some trouble discerning how you felt about them.

[hifiguy]

22. Perceptive you are!

:hi:

[Ikonoklast]

25. Well, there was a certain amount of ambiguity in your criticism.

As for me, it is my postition that the band Styx is one of the physical manifestations in this physical dimension of the Dreaded Elders, the Great Old Ones, at whose feet even the unmentionable, the waking horror, the one whose very sight of drives men to madness, high priest Cthulhu himself prostrates.

[hifiguy]

26. Much agreed, and

I am well versed in Lovecraftiana after spending a few years managing a sf bookstore back in the early 1990s.

[WillParkinson]

38. How dare you not like my Styx!

From now on your car radio and IPOD and any other music device nearby will only play the Greenwood song that makes you :puke:. (Almost as good as an ancient curse...)

[Frank Cannon]

65. Still the best concert I've ever seen.

I never much cared for Dennis DeYoung, but the band is undeniably tight live, and they know how to work a crowd.

Saw them a few years ago (sans Dennis), and they still sounded great.

[Arugula Latte]

48. Yes, "Lady" is absolutely horrible.

That guy's voice could remove wallpaper. x(

[geardaddy]

115. How about "Yes"?

What did Homer call it? Wimp Rock?

[provis99]

138. heh. My brother calls it magic elf music.

[bif]

19. "Dancing Queen"--ABBA

Nails on a chalkboard to me. Also "Horse With No Name" and ANY song by Neil Young.

[HappyMe]

23. Actually, all Abba songs should be listed. nt

[LeftishBrit]

29. I like most Abba songs, but agree on 'Dancing Queen'!

[LynneSin]

21. "Let Em In" by Paul McCartney and Wings - beyond annoying as hell

Someone's knockin' at the door
somebody's ringin' the bell
Someone's knockin' at the door
somebody's ringin' the bell
Do me a favour
open the door
and let'em in.
Sister Suzie
brother John
Martin Luther
Phil and Don
Brother Michael
auntie Gin
open the door and let'em in.

Someone's knockin' at the door
somebody's ringin' the bell . . .
Sister Suzie
brother John
Martin Luther
Phil and Don. . .
Uncle Ernie
auntie Gin
open the door and let'em in.

[Frank Cannon]

40. Most of Paul McCartney's post-Beatles output qualifies.

Don't even get me started on "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime".

[dawg]

103. Noooooooooooooo!

Okay, Paul did some sappy songs in his solo/Wings career. But he also did:

Maybe I'm Amazed
Jet
Band on the Run
Live and Let Die
Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey

[hifiguy]

124. I always liked "Junior's Farm"

That really rocked like few of Macca's post-Fab tunes did.

[Still Blue in PDX]

139. I cannot stand those songs, either. nt

[Manifestor_of_Light]

51. "Phil and Don" LOL!

The Everly Brothers.

Paul cranked out a lot of bad stuff in his "fat Otis" (as in elevator) period.

That is contrasted with John during the filming of HELP!, which he said was his "fat Elvis" period.

Bad jokes, you're welcome, I'll be here all week, thank you!

[Paper Roses]

24. One sticks in my mind, can't stand it::

'The name game'. Ugh!!

[HughBeaumont]

113. SECONDED!

My mom used to sing that damned song just because she grew up with it, but it became extra annoying once my little sister started singing it. A LOT.

[TheManInTheMac]

146. Let's do "Chuck"!

[LeftishBrit]

28. The theme song of 'Neighbours'! Completely puts me off watching it

Frank Sinatra's 'My Way' - like the message, hate the song.

There are a number of horribly sentimental songs from the late 60s/ 70s (Bobby Goldsboro's 'Honey'; that dreadful one about the telephone answering machine 'Hello, This is Joanie'; most songs by the Osmonds). But I don't hear them often enough to describe them as 'most annoying'.

[geardaddy]

116. I love Sid Vicious' version of "My Way"

[TZ]

30. No one has chosen Aqua's "Barbie Girl'?

I'm not sure whats worse the annoying high pitched music/singing or the very idiotic lyrics which seem to glorify being a bimbo.

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

31. just about anything on the playlist on classic rock

stations.

So much good music by these 60's and 70's bands, and we hear like 10% of it.

[KamaAina]

32. Rock and Roll Part Two

You've heard it, usually at sporting events: "Da da da DA da, HEY! da da, da da". :puke:

Double secret annoying because the artist (?), Gary Glitter, is a convicted pedophile.

[Rocknrule]

35. Almost forgot: "Great DJ" by the Ting Tings

The drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums the drums...

:argh:

[bluesbassman]

36. Steve Miller's Abracadabra.

Seriously Steve; "I want to reach out and grab ya"? "Black panties and an angel's face"? Are you fucking kidding me? You sound like a goddam trenchcoat wearing pervert. :rofl:

[Frank Cannon]

41. Worse than "Pompitus of Love"?

At least Abracadabra has a catchy hook.

[Tabasco_Dave]

37. "Eight Days A Week" The Beatles

I like the Beatles but that song drives me up a wall.

[anneboleyn]

59. Whhhaaaaaattttt? I love that song. No Beatles song should be on this list, except Starkey songs

[dawg]

102. The Beatles RULE!

Ringo songs are still better than all other British invasion bands except Stones, Who, Kinks & Yardbirds.

[sarge43]

39. You're Having My Baby n/t

[leftyladyfrommo]

45. Oh, I agree. That was awful song. n/t

[Tuesday Afternoon]

101. +1

total puke-a-thon :puke:

[Misskittycat]

145. I detest that song. nt

[LibDemAlways]

43. A couple of oldies:

Susie-Q by Creedence Clearwater Revival and In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly. Those seemed pointless then, and they seem pointless now.

[rug]

93. You just never heard the right version.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4QnVoH8omw

[RedCloud]

44. Sweet Home Alabama

[kwassa]

47. Stairway to Heaven

from wild and extreme overplay.

[geardaddy]

117. That and "Freebird."

[Arugula Latte]

49. Has anyone said "I've Never Been to Me" yet?

Because, if not, I will.

[OmahaBlueDog]

64. "I've Never Been to Me" tops my list

"Ring My Bell"
"You Light Up My Life"
"Have You Ever Been Mellow?"
That insipid John Fogerty "Center Field" song
"Sometimes When We Touch"

These are songs that were born annoying

I have a new subcategory of "Songs that have been played absolutely to death." I might have liked 'em once, but now, I switch the radio immediately

"Baker Street" (or anything by Gerry Rafferty)
"Only the Good Die Young"
"Piano Man"

[LeftishBrit]

50. 'Bobby's Girl' - sounds really doormat-ish

'I want to be Bobby's girl
I want to be Bobby's girl,
That's the most important thing to me...

And if I was Bobby's girl,
If I was Bobby's girl,
What a faithful thankful girl I'd be.'

And Gilbert O'Sullivan's 'Claire' - really creepy, essentially a love-song to a preschooler

[Manifestor_of_Light]

52. Brand New Key - Melanie

AGGGHHH!!

Yeah, I'm old. So old I saw Styx when they were an opening act.

[hifiguy]

73. You had to mention that one??

:)

Ugh, that song drove me NUTS when I was a teenaged radio-listener. Nauseating cutesiness plus an irritating but made-to-be-an-earworm melody = horror. Ecch, as Mad Magazine would have put it.

[GoCubsGo]

81. Now I have an ear worm.

Ick.

[geardaddy]

111. Here's a better version

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sr30FEkfevo

Brand New Combine Harvester - The Wurzels
I drove my tractor through your
haystack last night, oh ah, oh ah,
I threw me pitch fork at your dog
to keep quiet, oh ah, oh ah,
Now something’s telling me, that
you’m avoiding me, oh ah, oh ah,
come on now darling you got
something I need.

Coz I got a brand new combine
harvester and I’ll give you the key,
come on now lets get together
in perfect harmony,
I got 20 acres and you got 43,
now I got a brand new combine harvester
and I’ll give you the key.

She might well laugh.

I’ll stick by you and give you
all that you need, oh ah, oh ah,
we’ll have twins and triplets
I’m a man built for speed, oh ah, oh ah,
and you know I’ll love you darling
so give me your hand, oh ah, oh ah,
oh thing I want the most is all that
acres of land.

Coz I got a brand new combine
harvester and I’ll give you the key,
come on now lets get together
in perfect harmony,
I got 20 acres and you got 43,
now I got a brand new combine harvester
and I’ll give you the key.

Ooaah she’s a lovely bit of stuff an’ all.

For seven long years I’ve been
alone in this place, oh ah, oh ah,
pigs sleep in the kitchen
it’s a proper disgrace, oh ah, oh ah,
now if I cleaned it up would you
change your mind, oh ah, oh ah,
I’ll give up drinking scrumpy
and that lager and lime.

Coz I got a brand new combine
harvester and I’ll give you the key,
come on now lets get together
in perfect harmony,
I got 20 acres and you got 43,
now I got a brand new combine harvester
and I’ll give you the key.

Who loves u baby?

Weren’t we grand couple at
that last wurzel dance,
I wore brand new gaters and me
corderoy pants, ha ha,
in your new sunday dress
with your perfume smelling grand
we had our photos tooken us
holding hands.

Now I got a brand new combine
harvester and I’ll give you the key,
now that we both past our 50’s I think that
you and me, should stop this galavanting
and will you marry me,
coz I got a brand new combine harvester
and I’ll give you the key.

Arr your a fine looking woman and I can’t
wait to get me hands on your land.

[hifiguy]

125. OMG!

:rofl:

Priceless.

[geardaddy]

134. here's the actual band singing it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tb63PdPweDc&feature=related

[Luciferous]

53. Single Ladies- Beyonce

Anything by Katy Perry is annoying.

[driver8]

133. Amen to Single Ladies!!

I HATE that song!!!

[IDemo]

54. "Lovin' You" - Minnie Ripperton

[Luciferous]

55. Ugh. Yeah, that one is annoying.

[anneboleyn]

61. You know, that is about her daughter, Maya Rudolph (on SNL) It's a sad story.

The song was intended to be a sort of lullaby, the mother singing to her child (hence the "la la la la laaaas"). Maya's mother died of breast cancer when Maya was only seven, and Maya played this song on SNL one Mother's Day. I always found the song annoying but this changed my feelings somewhat.

[Kat45]

85. Maya Rudolph is Minnie Ripperton's daughter?

I didn't know that. That song was out when I was in college, and I loved it.

[cemaphonic]

84. But partially redeemed by The Orb

[madinmaryland]

56. Anything by Rush.

:puke:

[Dr. Strange]

75. Rush Limbaugh sings?

I did not know that.

[GReedDiamond]

57. In no particular order, my list of Twenty is as follows...

"Afternoon Delight" - The Starlight Vocal Band

"Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" - Wham!

"Achy Breaky Heart" - Billy Ray Cyrus

"Macarena" - Los del Río

"Bad Day" - Daniel Powter

"I'm Too Sexy" - Right Said Fred

"Ice Ice Baby" - Vanilla Ice

"Honey" - Bobby Goldsboro

"We Built This City" - Jefferson Starship

"Friday" - Rebecca Black

"Cat Scratch Fever" - Ted Nugent

"I Will Always Love You" - Whitney Houston

"You Light Up My Life" - Debbie Boone

"Tutti Frutti" - Pat Boone

"Shiny Happy People" - R.E.M.

"Muskrat Love" - The Captain & Tenille

"Mickey" - Toni Basil

"MMMBop" - Hanson

"Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree" - Tony Orlando & Dawn

"Disco Duck" - Rick Dees

BTW, "Surfin' Bird" by The Trashmen is great! It was also the very first record (45) I ever bought, in 1963. The B side was a tune called "The Birdman of Alcatrash." I wish I still had that 45...

[hifiguy]

74. With the exception of the R.E.M. tune

that is a pretty amazing hall of shame and horrors. :)

[GReedDiamond]

94. I actually like REM quite a lot...

...but I could not stand that "shiny people" thing.

Same thing goes for including Jefferson Starship. I was a huge Airplane fan, back when they were Grace, Paul, Jorma, Jack, Marty and Spencer. Jefferson Starship's first 2 or 3 records (especially including "Blows Against the Empire") were OK, but after that, not so much.

In any case, I thought it was fair to include what I consider to be "bad" songs from at least a couple of artists I generally admire a lot.

[PollyPeptide555]

58. Kreayshawn - Gucci Gucci

So annoyingly...addictive.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WJFjXtHcy4

[nolabear]

92. This from the comments section:

one big room, full of bad bitches.

one big room, full of fat bitches.

one big room, full of sad fishes.

one big room, full of sandwiches.

one big tomb, full of rad wishes.

one thick broom, pull up dad's britches? wtf

:rofl:

[anneboleyn]

63. that horrible "I smell sex and candy" song, with its video that rips off The Cure

That song gives me the creeps. And the video is a total rip-off of virtually every late 80s Cure video.

[TK421]

66. I think the song is called Hey Soul Sister ...every time I hear it I want to

smash something,preferably something that will bleed and scream when I smash it

or any other song that is played TO DEATH on the radio

[GoCubsGo]

83. Ditto.

"Dynamite" by Taio Cruz has the same effect on me. As does Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream", and that lame ass "You Belong to Me" by Taylor Swift.

[carolinayellowdog]

67. "My Way" lyrics by Paul Anka

the tune was taken from a European hit and is just boring, not terribly annoying like the lyrics. The part about chewing it up and spitting out really gets me. Sinatra usually had better taste in material.

[GoCubsGo]

80. Better that than his "Your Having My Baby"

:puke:

[PassingFair]

68. Top of my List: "Color My World" by Chicago

OMG.

Bum bum bum BUM bum bum.

[geardaddy]

112. Anything by Chicago.

*shudder*

[EnviroBat]

69. Anything by Pink.

Her "songs" are fucking stupid in 4 dimensions.

[EnviroBat]

71. Aaron Lewis - Country Boy.

This fucking guy should stick to rock music. The Tea-Bagger ending is enough to make you throw up.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsQzw_Ax8Cw

[Forkboy]

72. Freebird, Dream On and Stairway to Heaven.

In fact, the only good thing about Stairway to Heaven was that it led to the Butthole Surfers naming their CD Hairway to Steven.

[TZ]

76. BOOOO! I'm listening to Stairway to Heaven as we speak

Love it. Thanks Pandora. And you my friend have worse taste in music than even Creekdog! :evilgrin:

[Forkboy]

79. There are single celled organisms that know where that song is going.

I'd rather listen to opera, for God's sake!

And I bet Sarah Palin thinks my music sucks, too....just sayin'.

:hide:

[NoGOPZone]

104. Stairway's sole value is the satire it and its hype inspired.

Including Little Roger and the Goosebumps "Stairway to Gilligans Island", a mashup before the word was even invented, Zappa's live cover of the song, and various mentions in popular culture through the years such as the "No Stairway" sign in the guitar store in Wayne's World or the Cracked cartoon about a 24 Hour Stairway station.

[DevonRex]

107. The lyrics are cheesy but the Stairway guitar solo rocks.

[Forkboy]

108. I hate solos.

Bunch of puffy shirt wearing wankers.

:hide:

[TZ]

109. Neil Peart is gonna beat the stuffing out of you..

Or perhaps Alex Lifeson will, I hear he's gotten into a bar fight or two...:crazy:

[DevonRex]

123. Bonzo could do it from the grave.

But I wouldn't want the Fork to get the stuffing beaten outa him.

[DevonRex]

122. Hahaha.

And I'm mad at you cause you reminded me of The Who when you said opera. I detest The Who.

[Forkboy]

129. To this day the best solo I've ever heard is just six notes.

On the live version they stop after five notes and tease the crowd lol.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gtK_4gyf0M

[DevonRex]

135. Wow. The base starting at 3:08 kicks ass.

[AngryAmish]

78. The list should begin and end with "We Built This City on Rock and Roll"

shoot me now

[GoCubsGo]

82. Coldplay's "Vva la Vida"

So overplayed, it's now a cliche. Kind of a nauseatingly sappy song as it is, without having to hear it incessantly

And, I would like to add to it every Top 20 pop song from last summer. They make me want to gouge my ears out.

[nolabear]

86. Sylvia's Mother - I thought my brain had started bleeding.

How could somebody DO that???

http://youtu.be/z4asAOyglCc

[IDemo]

89. Thanks. I hadn't thought about that song in decades.

Here's another from that era: "Mama Told Me Not to Come", Three Dog Night (I think).

[Pool Hall Ace]

95. As they say,

you have won the thread. :thumbsup:

I was only 10 years old when that song came out, and I had forgotten all about it. Until now.

But you know what I do remember? At the time, reading a Tony DeFranco interview in 16 Magazine where he said it was his favorite song. Bet he'd like to forget that!

[kimi]

88. Has no one brought up

"Horse With No Name" yet??

Or "Wildfire"??

Two "horsie" songs that are utterly repulsive IMO. Name the damn horse already, and for cryin out loud, PUT OUT THE WILDFIRE!!!!

GAH!!!!

:grr:

[nolabear]

90. Yep, those are right up there.

[bif]

105. I did

Way back. It just wasn't in the subject line.

[Liberal Veteran]

127. So how many days did he actually have with nothing to do except name that damned horse?

And how stupid does one have to be die in a "killing frost" (which kills tomatoes, not girls and horses)?

[Zavulon]

96. This list could be endless, but I'll try to keep it short. I'll start with "Layla."

1.) "Layla" - my problem with this is the absurdly long instrumental passage at the end of the song. Boring and unnecessary. I consider this to be the most overrated song of all time, and that includes all of the overplayed crap Zep did.

1a.) The one song I heard from Lady Gaga, which was so bad I still feel violated. Something about her wanting my love and revenge. Fucking awful.

2.) Any Christmas music, but in particular "The Little Drummer Boy" and "We Wish You a Merry Christmas." You can also throw in any country or rap song I've ever heard, thereby already expanding this list to hundreds and hundreds of items.

3.) "Barbie Girl" by whoever the fuck did that miserable song.

4.) "Stand" by REM.

5.) That wretched Uncle Albert song by The Beatles (not sure of the exact title)

6.) "Pink Cadillac" and "Born in the USA" by Springsteen - overrated garbage.

7.) "Bennie and the Jets" and "Crocodile Rock" by Elton John

8.) "Tin Man" by America

9.) "Burning for You" by Blue Oyster Cult.

10.) Any ballad by Aerosmith, particularly "Don't Want to Miss a Thing"

11.) I'll go with the OP on the Rebecca Black song. A local sports radio show which broadcasts nationally (Steve Czaban) uses it as a theme song on Fridays. I stopped listening to it on Fridays and now resort to Mike & Mike, which is almost as bad but not quite.

12.) "Living on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi. It's the sort of shit you can get away with only AFTER you hit megastar status and know whatever you put out will sell. A band actually TRYING to become popular would have never risked releasing such shit.

13.) "Behind Blue Eyes" by The Who. This is mostly due to overexposure.

14.) "Abracadabra" by Steve Miller.

15.) That Supertramp song that says "Take a look at my girlfriend, she's the only one I got."

[Beer Snob-50]

131. the instrumental passage at the end of layla

is f**king awesome. i felt terrible when eric clapton did the stripped down version of it because that meant the original would now get less airplay.

[Zavulon]

143. With all due respect,

I couldn't agree less. I'm not sure I've ever heard a more boring and unnecessarily long passage of music.

I do, however, recognize that I'll find a bare minimum of a hundred people who agree with you for every one person that agrees with me. I'll never understand why it's so popular (and I've been trying for years), but I do realize that it is.

106. Jeremiah Was a Bullfrog. Having my Baby. Anything by Talking Heads.

David Byrne' voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard. I think that's his name.

[geardaddy]

118. Ram Jam's "Black Betty"

[HughBeaumont]

119. "I'll Be There For You" - Bon Jovi

Matter of fact, if Bon Jovi sings it, then yes . . . annoying.

Boys II Men. ALL of it.

Most 90s radio songs, specifically anything by the DMB, Spin Doctors, Blues Traveller, Del Amitri, Deep Blue Something, Counting Crows, Dishwalla, Matchbox Twenty, Sugar Ray, the Rembrandts, Mazzy Star, Hootie and the Blowfish, etc.

"All for Love" - Bryan Adams, Sting, Rod Stewart. One of the most pointless, directionless, corporate songs I've ever heard.

"I Will Always Love You" - Whitney Houston, wretchedly stomping Dolly Parton's song to a miserable
pulp.

"Blister in the Sun" - Violent Femmes. Makes me want to drop a bowling ball on the speaker.

Pretty much anything by the Barenaked Ladies, especially "One Week". That group is utterly terrible and non-listenable to the point of me wanting to stick my head in a vat of acid. They should be impaled on pikes and have rotten fruit thrown at their sliding corpses. OK, that's a bit much, but they still suck.

Nearly all of Billy Joel's output beyond 1983.

[BlueIris]

126. Now and forever, "Baby Got Back."

Not so much for the content per se, (the pro-health body image part is good) but the absolutely obnoxious "tune." It's tempo, it's...everything. And the fact that I've heard it just about a thousand times. Literally.

[doc03]

128. Number one "Little Drummer Boy pa rum pa pum pum

I hate that song. Anything by the Eagles.

[dmr]

130. I hate Petula Clark's 'Downtown' & Burt Bacharach's 'Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head'

My family knows this & they think it's funny to drive me up the wall.

I can't stand Petula's screeching voice; & 'Raindrops' - ugh.

I hated them both the very first time I heard them in the 60s.

I also can't stand the guy & his song 'Proud to be an American', I mean couldn't he have come up with a better tune & better words?

:puke: on them all

:rofl:

[Rob H.]

136. "Hollaback Girl" by Gwen Stefani

I'd rather be dragged over carpet tacks and dipped in rubbing alcohol than hear that song ever again. "This shit is bananas--B-A-N-A-N-A-S!" Seriously?!?

[provis99]

137. The Star Spangled Banner.

No one can sing it, or remember the words, it's about a battle that America lost, it's based on a British drinking tune, and every clod that sings it at a sporting event suddenly thinks he or she is the next Marvin Gaye.

And Sugar by the Archies. I want to poke my eardrums out everytime I hear that awful song.
"I Got You Babe" by the monumentally untalented Sonny and Cher is another.

[Still Blue in PDX]

142. ROFLMAO.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

You have a lovely way with words. I salute you! :toast:

[Flaxbee]

141. We Built This City

Just shoot me, please.

[wickerwoman]

144. Like a G6

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4s6H4ku6ZY

Most vapid lyrics of all time ("We get drunk. A lot. It makes us feel like a mid-sized fleet car.")

It's 3:45 long and I can honestly say I've never sat through the whole thing.

[TheManInTheMac]

147. "Come on, Fuckin Guy" by Chuggo.

:hide:

[mikeargo]

148. Songs with a children's chorus...

...usually suck.

"Playground in My Mind"
"Candy Man"
"Save All Your Kisses For Me"
