Least Favorite Song of All Time

[bclement412]

Right now, I loathe "Smile" by Uncle Kracker. After hearing it's corniness 4 whopping times on the radio all within 20 minutes, I officially dub it the sappiest song ever to exist.

So what song(s) do you hate?

[Rarri]

"I touch myself (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FGk63Fv7t4&feature=related)" by the Divinyls. I wont traumatise you with the reasons why, haha.

[LeloPaul]

Funny topic for a thread. I'm really not much of a hater, but pretty much anything by BTO makes my list of most aggravating songs.

[alleycat]

There are so many to choose from, but I have to go with Funky Cold Medina--it drives me up the wall whenever I hear it. The Bertha Butt Boogie was a contender, but at least it had one funny line: No grass grew when she'd been.

For you enjoyment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OP5EnaaYjQ

[ChunkyC]

Anything remixed for a dance club. GAG.

Or anything elevator-ized. I actually heard a version of Muskrat Love that had been elevator-ized, like it wasn't already. Bleah.

That is one hell of a great line. :)

[brainstorm77]

Anything by Brittney.

[bclement412]

Anything by Brittney.

Yes, I agree 1,000 % with this :D

[Kaiser-Kun]

This one. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0)

[SirOtter]

Troglodyte was a much better song from the Jimmy Caster Bunch.

[SirOtter]

As bad as that must've been, the Muzak version of Sympathy for the Devil I once heard has to be worse.

[Xelebes]

DJ Brisk - Trigger Hardcore (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qAyZJA49Mk)

Absolutely loathe the intro and the hate the rest of the song.

[Miss T]

"Fireflies" by Owl City. I don't know why, but it drives me absolutely insane.

[Xelebes]

"Fireflies" by Owl City. I don't know why, but it drives me absolutely insane.

Thankfully, I can usually avoid that song if I avoid the movie theatres.

[Nightfly]

"Lovin' You" by Minnie Riperton. I am certain that song is used on those who get through the waterboarding.

[Hip-Hop-a-potamus]

Anything by Nickelback or any of the other annoying poseurs calling themselves musicians now that do that "back of the throat" type of singing that Eddie Vedder made popular.

And of course, now that I'm in Canada, I hear Nickelback way too damned much. I want them to fade into obscurity soooooooooon.

[MStarky]

Anything by Brokencyde. This song isn't even their worst (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8F5YSA1Oz0). This one might be (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=486Q5FdIndA). "You make my pee pee hard". lolfail.

[jilly61]

It's from the '70's but I'm still traumatised.

I'm only a poor little sparrow - St. Winifred's girls choir

[Ken]

... Yankee Doodle Dandy. Song originally made fun of American soldiers. Grrr, grrr.

[RandomJerk]

There's quite a few songs I hate. However, there's one that comes to mind as the worst of all time. I wish I could recall the name, but it escapes me . . .

"Woo woo...

Come on ride the train hey ride it woo woo
Come on ride the train hey ride it woo woo
Come on ride the train woo woo hey
Ride it woo woo
Come on ride the train
Woo woo hey ride it woo woo
Come on ride the train
It's the choo choo ride it woo woo
Come on ride the train it's the choo choo train
Come on ride the train it's the choo choo
Ride it, woo woo
Come on, ride the train, it's the choo choo train

2-Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
I think I can, I think I can
I think I can, I think I can"

[Ken]

... lol ^^
I can see why :-D

[Gugland]

Anything by the J. Giels band.

[night-flyer]

DJ Brisk - Trigger Hardcore (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qAyZJA49Mk)

Absolutely loathe the intro and the hate the rest of the song.

This one.

And definitely these.

Any thing disco or rap, I can do without. Oh yeah, and that song by Rihanna--'Umbrella' ella, ella, ella, ella. Ugh, I hear it ten times a day at work.

[MissMacchiato]

let's get married by jagged edge.

If a man ever proposes with the following:

"We aint gettin' no younger, we might as well do it"

It will be a case of bitch slap first, ask questions later. Arg, so annoying just thinking about it!

[Cliff Face]

I see your Nickelback and raise you Hanson.

[Xelebes]

I see your Nickelback and raise you Hanson.

The problem with Hanson is that Hanson is terribly easy to lampoon, making it enjoyable. It's like Battlefield Earth, yanno?

[Chris P]

Aw, folks, now you got me wound up and hating when I should be sleeping peacefully.

Just for that, I'll mention how much I hate that pretentious poseur Kid Rock.

[Cliff Face]

Oh god! Kid Rock! *tears off ears and beats himself to death with them*

[Hip-Hop-a-potamus]

I see your Nickelback and raise you Hanson.

Yeah, and Xelebes is right. We don't even really HEAR Hanson that much anymore. Nickelback is on every five minutes here.

[CheekyWench]

What's Going On by 4 Non Blondes.
grrrrrr.

[Cliff Face]

God, I used to hear an entire Nickelback album every single day while living with a total douche.

But I still think that my memories of when Hanson took over the radio and MTV-type shows down here for about 6 months was worse. Maybe. It's too close to call.

[gan_naire]

Justin Bieber, Evanescence, Dixie Chicks, Hanson, Taylor Swift, Jackal, and many many more.

[BardSkye]

Hey Jude
Big Yellow Taxi
American Pie
Imagine (or really, anything by John Lennon alone)
Kodachrome
Anything sung by Bob Dylan or Randy Travis. (The songs are fine if sung by someone else; I don't like their voices.)

[blacbird]

My nominees:

"Radar Love", by Golden Earring

"American Band", by Grand Funk

"Smokin' in the Boy's Room", by Brownsville Station (perhaps exceeded by their only other hit, "Kings of the Party")

anything with Steve Perry's voice on it

anything I've ever heard by the Blackeyed Peas, including that godawful Superbowl halftime performance

[xXVampyrePrincessXx]

I hate anything that isn't actual music... If it's overly remixed or some cRAP artist talking fast to a computerized drumbeat, it seriously gets on my nerves... :(

~Amber~

[Diana Hignutt]

That stupid Paul McCartney "Really Having a Wonderful Christmas Time." hate it.

[milly]

I echo the Kid Rock and Nickelback sentiments...anything of theirs, all of theirs, just....no...

[benbradley]

MacArthur ... MacArthur's ... oh, it's so bad I can't even write the whole name.

[EmpoweredOKC]

There are all sorts of songs that just bug me, like those dated "sentimental" songs--that crap about liking Pina Coladas, for example. And Summer Breezes make me feel fine. If they play it in a Denist's office on any radio station with "Magic" in the title, it sucks.

Then there are songs that just outright offend me: misogynist rap, anything cruel. I don't like cruel music.

But as far as a song that blows my mind with sheer horror, with "how in the !@#% could anyone have written this and thought it was good?" bewilderment, with outrage that people actually made it a hit, that proved to me that a huge portion of the population is actually brain damaged, I'd have to go with...

"My Humps."

Runner up: anything by Missy Elliot.

[yoghurtelf]

"The Macarena" - I've blocked out this artist's name ON PURPOSE

"Wish You Well" (Bernard Fanning)

and "Here's Johnny" by Hocus Pocus

Hate is a strong word, but for me, it fits how I feel about these songs!

[Diana Hignutt]

MacArthur ... MacArthur's ... oh, it's so bad I can't even write the whole name.

...park?

[childeroland]

The Macarena.

[Alan_Often]

Three words: Our Lady Peace. Pick a song, any song... They all make my ears bleed.

[poetinahat]

What's Going On by 4 Non Blondes.
grrrrrr.
Oh yes. And - I know I won't get much buy-in on this, but:

We Will Rock You. I wouldn't hate it so much if it were by a run-of-the-mill band, but it's Queen. I mean, their music's not really my thing, but I have a whole lot of respect for their body of work. Except this one. Good lyrics completely subverted by a beat and chorus that make me cringe instantly and long.

Dear God by XTC. Beautiful song by a band I love; facile, preachy lyrics that, IMO, follow a specious line of reasoning. A great song that I cannot stand to hear.

Meat is Murder by The Smiths. As with the above - good song, but I HATE being preached or talked down to.

[benbradley]

We Built This City On Rock And Roll

I suspect lots of Atlantans learned to hate this song, as the premire "rock" station at the time, 96 Rock, used it (the chorus part, of course) as a promo, and I heard that promo many times more than I heard the song. Did other radio stations do that?

[yoghurtelf]

God I hate it when songs get ruined by adverts. ;)

That happened to me with "Two Princes" by the Spin Doctors.

That 4 Non Blondes song is one I really hated at the time too, and still do. I bought this daggy '90s tunes compilation and they had a remix of that on it - it was even worse than the original!

I think I just hate the way she sings.

[darkprincealain]

Most of Ke$ha excepting "Your love is my drug," and that crap "Love the way you lie" by Rihanna and Eminem. My ear ... she bleeds!

[ShapeSphere]

They be posting. They hatin'.

Lady in Red by Chris de Bleeeeeurgh.

[SirOtter]

anything I've ever heard by the Blackeyed Peas, including that godawful Superbowl halftime performance

It amazes me that people actually pay good money to listen to inarticulate rhythmic shouting.

[cmi0616]

Party In The USA by Miley Cyrus never fails to get on my nerves. It's a good thing she's beautiful, because MAN does she seem really fucking annoying.

[trailerbride]

Oh yes. And - I know I won't get much buy-in on this, but:

We Will Rock You. I wouldn't hate it so much if it were by a run-of-the-mill band, but it's Queen. I mean, their music's not really my thing, but I have a whole lot of respect for their body of work. Except this one. Good lyrics completely subverted by a beat and chorus that make me cringe instantly and long.


How do you feel about the fast version?


Meat is Murder by The Smiths. As with the above - good song, but I HATE being preached or talked down to.

I don't hate it, but I don't enjoy it. So I know what you mean.

There's lot of music I don't like, but to be my Least Favourite Song Of All Time I think it has to be something more than just abysmal tosh from some twat in a silly hat.

So I pick Lucinda Williams' "Wrap My Head Around That" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aV9eXz7drL8).

Lucinda's very possibly my favourite musician. I adore her. At least three of her albums would feature in my all time top twenty. But this song is an unmitigated disaster. It's like she just realised that "wrap" is a homophone and she's decided her discovery merits a nine minute celebration during which she will give her second best impression of Debbie Harry's great-grandmother. I mean, fuck.

In second place, Lucinda's cover of ACDC's "Long Way To The Top (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nf4cVdk5sk&feature=related)". I mean, fuck.

[AbielleRose]

Crazy by Gnarls Barkley... it makes nails on a chalkboard sound like Mozart, IMO.

[trailerbride]

We Built This City On Rock And Roll


There is an amazingly great song called "We Built This Village On A Trad Arr Tune" by the fabulous Half Man Half Biscuit that kinda compensates for this one.

I can't find a decent Youtube, but here's an extract from the lyrics

Rehearsals afoot for the Christmas Play
It’s called “Roll The Square Arthur” and mind what you say
It’s a cricketing farce with a thickening plot
Act One, Scene One – Brenda Blethyn gets shot
Graduated to solids disturbingly early
Graduated to solids disturbingly early
Oh the mummers, the poppers
The Best Of The Coppers
Anyone can join in so I discarded my jeans
And played wine-maddened Pentheus, the King of Thebes
And some Bloomsbury peripheral said I had the best line
Check your sheds, check your sheds, I think I’ve lost my mind!

Genius.

[callalily61]

"The Christmas Shoes" HATEHATEHATEHATEHATEHATE

[Mastershino]

Anything by Lady Gaga.

[ConChron]

Välkomen Hem - Tomas DiLeva (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5NHLxMRtT4). Swedish music when it can't get much worse.

[darrtwish]

Friday by Rebecca whats-her-face
and the equally (if not worse)
My Jeans by Jenna Rose.
:Headbang:

[Curfew Gull]

"Lovin' You" by Minnie Riperton. I am certain that song is used on those who get through the waterboarding.

I hate that song too! I couldn't come up with a nominee of my own for this category, until I read your post. So, yeah, I nominate "Lovin' You"!

[ZannaPerry]

this topic is too easy. My least favorite song of all time and this is strange for me since I love all kinds of music, but I can't stand "Sexy Back" by Justin Timberlake. The song grates on my nerves and all the man does is repeat himself throughout the whole song. I mean... really? That was a hit? More like ANNOYING!!

[Xelebes]

Friday by Rebecca whats-her-face
and the equally (if not worse)
My Jeans by Jenna Rose.
:Headbang:

Friday is such a terrible song, it becomes awesome.

[HarryHoskins]

I Wanna Sex You Up - Colour Me Badd (http://youtu.be/lgqY5F67ja0)

[bluntforcetrauma]

Imagine-- john Lennon

It lies beneath Ballroom Blitz and Muskrat Love. Terrible, just terrible.

[RyanCE]

Anything from Justin beiber! britney, gaga

[Pistol Whipped Bee]

Happy Birthday

[CAgirlforever]

"Green Eyed Lady" by Sugarloaf. I want to scream and claw my eardrums out every time it comes on the radio. There are many songs I loathe, but this has to be the worst of them all. Yuck!

[Dungle]

Everybody's Talking.......IT MAKES ME VOMIT!!!!!!

[Camilla Delvalle]

Friday by Rebecca whats-her-face
and the equally (if not worse)
My Jeans by Jenna Rose.
:Headbang:
I love that song, but then I have the worst taste ever, in both music and movies. That is known.

[whacko]

I've not looked through this thread. Mainly because the least favourite songs are the ones that sneak up on you moments before you fall asleep.

So tonight, now that I've had a few seconds to think, I'll be singing Charlene's number 1 I've Never Been To Me. Truly dreadful. Yet still better than the camembert of I Just Called To Say I Love You.

Oh Jebus, there's more.

And I'm singing the bloody things now.

Regards

Whacko, who's crying Seven Tears Into The River.

[Chandy]

Anything off of the most recent Lady Gaga "album." Utterly terrible. My body literally convulses when Judas comes on the radio.

[Chris P]

They be posting. They hatin'.

Lady in Red by Chris de Bleeeeeurgh.

Oh good god THIS!!!

I don't understand the "Friday" hate. Yeah, it's repetitive. Yeah, it's juvenile. But she's flippin' THIRTEEN YEARS OLD, folks! Teen pop has always been juvenile, vapid and repetitive. Although I don't like the song I hope she hits her stride, turns the music biz on its ear and takes pop music to a whole new level just to prove everyone wrong.
