Elvis.  I know its not a song, but anything he got his burger encrusted gob around was killed dead for me.  Never understood the adoration for the fat fucker or why he is still played on Telly and radio.  As soon as anything comes on I turn off.  

I don't understand all the Elvis hype either.

Me neither, couldnt stick that stuff

Another...

Breakfast At Tiffany's by Deep Blue Something.  A band whose membership looks like it's composed entirely of "that guy", the ham-fisted sporty types who'll pull out an acoustic guitar for an impromptu sing-song at barbecues.  There's a reason me and the wife always refer to them as Deep Brown Shomething.  Just a really, really, really bad song.

The Calling - Wherever You Will Go. Yarlsome, middle of the road shite by numbers.

Justin bieber. 

Jeremiah

Wonderwall

Nitefly

The Pipkins, "Gimme Dat Ding".  It drove me mad in 1970.

Strangefan

Come on Eileen and pink Floyd's the wall urgh

I'll trot out my usual response of ''Imagine' by John Lennon....But as I get older, it's getting less annoying

And actually more correct (I accept it's a tad corny/preachy - but actually he was on the right track....)

I only hate songs if I'm being involuntarily subjected to them, which hardly ever happens nowadays. When I was younger it could be quite hard to avoid stuff.  Crappy summer jobs where radio 1 was pumped out all day, dances with naff local DJs playing lowest common denominator chart singles, pub juke boxes where the records never changed. I must have heard dross like Tiger Feet by Mudd literally hundreds of times. I only hated it because I couldn't avoid it. I've no objection to consensual adults listening to it in the privacy of their own homes.

The only similar thing I can think of nowadays are shops leading up to Christmas recycling preposterously overfamiliar "festive" tunes. So I'll go for Merry Christmas Everybody by Slade as the song I most despise.

Toploader - Dancing In The Moonlight.

Music for Jamie Oliver wannabes with their crappy dinner parties and middle class pretensions.

Absolutely hateful song.

I've changed my vote after reading this.  Agadoo is Claire de Lune compared to "Merry Christmas".  I only have to get the first intro chord and my ONLY priority is to kill the radio / get out of the shop.

It was a great tune the first 5000 times I heard it, but after the following 28,486,257,753,869 plays I've grown to prefer drilling my own testicles with a Dremel than listening to it again.

I hope some day you'll join us…




It's a great song. The almost childlike lyrics and the simplistic piano playing are intentionally so, I think - although I admit I was a child when I first heard it so it may have made more sense to me then.

If it involves Morrissey is it a song? Musical backing for cat torture, possibly.

Dreadful song, dreadful production, gets even more dreadful when the strings come in towards the end. Only thing that could possibly make it worse would be a whole-tone lift before the final chorus.
