As the title states, what song really gets on your nerves.
Inspired by last night's wedding disco, what songs can you really not stand?

For me it's these:

Simply the best Tina Turner
Think twice Celine Dion
Power of Love Jennifer Rush.

They make me feel sick. We were talking about them last night and my mate was saying when she got married, the DJ tried to play the former. She went behind the controls and threatened to break his record if he didn't turn it off.
So what do you really detest?

I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston
Lady in Red, Chris D'Burgh
Candle in the Wind (both versions) Elton John
Cotton Eyed Joe by The Red Nex
From a Distance by Bet Midler
Achy Breaky Heart by Billy Ray Cirus

'Rhymes with ducking plastered'
Nice choice of title EK :rolleyes::mad:

Yellow - Coldplay
You're Beautiful - James Blunt
My Heart Will Go On - Celine Dion
Nine Million Bicycles - Katie Melua.

Nelly aka the plastic gangsta with a piece of sellotape on his face - dillema
Akon - smack that/lonely and everything he has done
Any decent house tune with bent lyrics over the top to ensure it sells because the public are too thick to appreciate anything without lyrics

I am going to stop now or i will be here all night and i can feel my heartrate and blood presure rising as i type :D

umbrella ella ella


:gag:

And the various atrocities committed by Steps/S Club Seven/Atomic Kitten/any other McBand aimed at seven year olds. Though it would be a bit suspect not to be irritated by the output of bands aimed at seven year olds once you're over seven.

Eh? I've not touched a drop today... * wonders what she's done to make Dave mad?* :suspect:

It's been about 4 hours now and I've still got "I know a song that'll get on your nerves" stuck in my head :mad:

One track for me is a Tenacious D track, but I can't type the title because then I'd have to ban myself (anyone who knows any Tenacious D will know which one I mean then ;) )

Also

Cher- Believe
Aqua- Barbie Girl

and a whole load of the ones already listed.

duh!
I almost asked 'tribute?:confused:'
Then remembered their album....

anything by abba - and especially if it comes with silly hand gestures :mad:

we hired a rock DJ from Birmingham and shipped him to Scotland for our wedding - as he already knew what pushed our family's buttons :D

when all the relatives had gone to bed we had the headbanging tunes on :D

OMG NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


I actually hate you right now!!!! Noooooooooooo i thought that song would never come back i can hear it now the minute i saw the name, i can hear it with the vocoder and everything.

Arrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I'm sorry- blame Edna, she started it ;)

"Barbie Girl" has to be right up there, but "Doop Doop" makes me want to strangle puppies.

always - by bon jovi - biggest cat strangling they ever did :mad:

I didn't like it in the first place, but some bright spark made it the first song at our wedding :suspect:

"Barbie Girl" has to be right up there, but "Doop Doop" makes me want to strangle puppies.

Only puppies??

Only puppies??

Fair point, but those who created it are beyond murder, as they'd only torment me in perpetuity.

"The Power", by Snap brings back deeply disturbing memories of teenage years.

macarena. dear god when people all stand in a line and do the dance - cant you dance yourself w/out following stupid routine?!

tina arena - chains. most whingy song ever

anything by scooter - please go back to eurotrash land

:P

Kingston Town by UB40 - absolute drivel but unfortunately on a constant loop at Green's swimming pool (with other dross like Simply Red).

"The Theme From 'Titanic'" by Sea-lion Dion... (In fact, absolutely anything as performed by Celine Dion would instantly induce a puppy-strangling rage in me) Can anyone answer me:- what is a "Smorre", why is there only one of it, does it open the door, and erm... why DO the Hot-Dogs Go on?

Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" (Dolly Parton's original was far, far better:- http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_utP1mGoutQ&NR=1 )

For my number-three choice, I can't decide between Jennifer Rush's "Power of Love", or Toni Braxton's "breathe Again".

Sandi Thom - I Wish I Was A Punkrocker (With Yellow Gob In My Ratty Hair)
The Killers - Somebody Told Me (You Sound Like A Whiny Student)
OutKast - Hey Ya! (You Dance Like You Pooed Your Pants)

And lots, lots more.

I can tolerate things like S Club because they are uber-cheese, and that's good. What I can't stand are things that I am told by marketing people are 'cool' and which aren't.

This is what puts me off the whole marriage thing. The thought of where the hell would I find a DJ who would be prepared to spin things like The Fall, The Pixies, French pop and a smattering of early Genesis.

There are quite a few songs and pieces of music that climb on my nerve endings and do a polka, and once theyre there they like to stick around for a few days to REALLY drive me mad.


The beauty of it is Ive managed to block them out of my immediate memory so I cant name any - mainly because if I thought hard enough to remember the titles, then the tunes would be along shortly after to do their little dance.

The downside is that if I hear a word or a snippet of any of the tunes then they all come flooding merrily back and before I know it, Im trying to eat the ceiling fan in frustration again and thats why I havent read any of this thread- I just KNOW that some of you will have mentioned one of the songs I despise.

:hihi::hihi::hihi: I can think of one or two.

I think ubercheese is excellent, as my collection of Guilty Pleasures CDs and dubious downloads will attest. Once you get out of the 70s and 80s though, you move from Camembert to Tesco's Value cheese substitute slices. Rule of thumb: if sparkly pink-clad seven year olds make up dances to it, it's a bit rubbish ;) .

Anything by Mika or Sissor sisters, also mambo number 5 (i can't recall his name)

Actually there are hundreds, and i really don't want them in my head right now so i'm off to a less disturbing thread.

That would be Lou Bega. My ridiculous memory not only remembers song titles and artists, but can usually play the video back to me too. Thankfully, I don't find that one too irritating.

EDIT- Actually, since I've still got one of them annoying the hell out of me from last night (Tenacious D) I'm leaving the thread too.

My rule is whether it takes itself too seriously or not - so pap like S Club, Steps and Aqua are fine, whereas pap like Girls Aloud, Pussycat Dolls and Leona Lewis are not. The former know they are naffer than a 1,000 Barry Manilows whereas the latter think they are cool and they will never be cool even if there's an ice age.

Beware wannabe popstrels - being too 'knowing' does not work though - see Scooch for reference ;)

That rule does not apply to 80s pop though. In that case, the more pretentious the pop star, the better. Hence, Duran Duran were freaking be-rilliant. :thumbsup:

True, though my rule was cheese-specific. While the above are certainly stinky and rancid, they're sadly not Gorgonzola.

As for Aqua: tongue in cheek or not, I'd still rather have my toe nails pulled out than listen to Barbie Girl again. And now it's in my head. Cheers for that :hihi: .

New York, New York

I will survive

I will always love you

:gag::gag::gag::gag::gag:

Yeah, but imagine if it was the version by those Aryan Airhead twins off Big Brother 8. :o:o:o At least with Aqua you know they are not taking it seriously!

Delilah. It's got to be Delilah.

I know I may be hunted down and murdered for this, as to dislike this song is tantamount to heresy in some folks eyes, but what the hell...

Imagine: John Lennon.

I break all known speeds with my hand as I reach for the radio to turn it off when that utter, naive, drivel comes on. The thing that makes it worse is that most folks and DJs probably consider it to be untouchable. But it just makes me want to throw up. So there.

There are lots of other songs that get on my wick, eg anything by Westlife, but Imagine is my ultimate pet hate. :gag:

Peace man...

I hated it before, but because of the adverts I can't even listen to Nickelbacks Rockstar without going absolutely mental!!!
