Your most hated single song?

Sean Paul.  Anything that features him or his stupid nasal vocal.

He sounds like a racist comedian taking the piss out of a Jamaican accent.

Wanker.

I remember Noel Gallagher proudly stating that he made £4M from that one song alone

There are many. I agree the List includes the Birdie Song. There was also once Renee and Renata. Most of the UK's Eurovision songs. Demi Roussos  could be pretty painful. I kind of agree about Danny Boy, though only because many moons ago there was some middle aged Irish "Entertainer" (pre Val Doonican) who appeared regularly on the TV and sang it every single time. I do have a Bill Evans version on CD, which I do rather like.

ALL SHITE but I must take issue about Demis Roussos -he was actually a fantastic singer
My wife worked with Renato  Pagliari ( don't worry,she isn't Renee ) -he was a real character- Brummie and mad Villa fan

That acdc song.

I thought of this one too. I think the Wilson Pickett version is pretty good, but you have to try to listen to it as if The Commitments was never filmed. Not easy.

When I saw The Commitments, back in 1991 or whenever it was, I thought it was an OK film.  Then a few weeks ago I looked up what's on the soundtrack album - it's like a compilation of all the most flogged-to-death songs from 15 years of American Idol, Pop Idol, the X Factor, BGT and The Voice. 

I can't really blame Alan Parker, Roddy Doyle, the actors in the film or the original recording artists, it's not their fault, but what a legacy of horrors they inadvertently created.

I'm not saying Demi Roussos couldn't sing. I just didn't like the songs themselves often.

I always think of Abigail's Party when Demi Roussos is mentioned. Classic play.

It's a classic @EricTheWeary one of my favourites.

and I quote from the play "Have we got to listen to that Fat Greek caterwauling all night?"

I rate Demis Roussos very highly actually and love that track. Have you seen him in Aphrodite's Child in the 60's, he played Bass and sang in that band?

I know the name Aphrodites Child, I think it was with Vangelis (?)  but I don't think I've ever heard a note. Perhaps I shall correct that this weekend, he could certainly sing.

It was Vangelis and Demis.  
The Four Horseman is one of the greatest songs of the 1970s.

Vangelis was in the band, yes. Well worth Youtubing them, decent tracks, funny to watch the "Live" performances on the TV shows of the time.

Demis was a hippie and then hard living rocker ...Aphrodites Child were great
dont let anybody 'DIS DEMIS

Lots of grade A cak there. I like the Joan Osbourne and Spin Doctors (song not vid) also like John Martyn a lot, but don't much care for May You Never, Too Much Too Young is good too- especially as it upset Mike Reed. Hard to choose one mega turd, as the list is as endless as an ear worm of Girls & Boys by Bl*r
