What's the last song you heard and hated instantly?

[elfkin477]

We did the other side of the coin already here.

To my surprise in the other thread, some people answered there my answer here:
the last song I heard and instantly hated is Foster The People's "Pumped Up Kicks."

However, I still have 2 or 3 more of their songs that were downloaded as part of a podcast that I haven't listened to yet, and I'm sure I'll hate those too...

So how about you? What's the last song that left you with an instant negative opinion of it?

[Tim R. Mortiss]

Anything by the Black Eyed Peas or by LMFAO instantly makes me cringe.

[Yorikke]

I wish I knew the name. It's a female singer, singing something about her heart, and she makes the word "heart" into a twenty-syllable word... "...something something my heart hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu heart..."

Joe

[Mann Slaughter]

A toss-up between:

Rebecca Black's "Friday"

and

Courtney Stodden's "Don't Put It On Me"

It's truly sad, what passes for music these days.

[elfkin477]

Hey, and if you can't think of anything, I just posted my song recommendations for December

[Beware of Doug]

Party in the USA. Sorry, we're gonna need better directions than that.

[It's Not Rocket Surgery!]

I know I'll get slagged for this, but "Someone Like You" by Adele is whiny and repetitive. I loved "Rolling In The Deep", but SLY misuses the heck out of Adele's vocal skills.

[DiosaBellissima]

I cannot stand songs where the lead singer sounds like the guy in this song. Something about his douchey inflection. . . I just can't.

Needless to say, I loathe that song.

[TruCelt]

I heard "I Whip my Hair Back and Forth" (or a sample from it) for the first time just yesterday, and it was like nails down a blackboard. Which sucks because I wanted to like it, I really did.

:: shudder ::

Also, anything at all in which the word "Baby" is pronounced "Behbeh." If you're not Cajun, I ain't listening. This includes the entirety of Justin Bieber's discography.

[Mahaloth]

Booty Wave



Seriously, though, I think it was Mistletoe by Justin Bieber.

I assume you mean "Fidelity" by Regina Spektor?

[Terraplane]

Superbass by Nicki Minaj. The chorus is tolerable but the sound of her voice in the verses is... I don't even know how to describe it. Beyond obnoxious.

[Hampshire]

I know it's an old song buy I just began hearing it this year:
The Beach Boys version of Santa Clause is Coming To Town. What's up with the intercuts of circus music and who is the Beach Boy who can't sing worth a lick?

[Stuffy]

Sensual Seduction, holy crap that song is awful, I thought that song was a parody or something. I'm probably alone in hating the fuck out of Hey Ya! by OutKast too.

Dear Lord I HATE that POS.

I was absolutely dumbfounded that someone started a thread here extolling it's virtues and gushing about what an incredible talent Willow Smith is. I realize she's just a kid so I held my tongue to avoid thread-shitting but honestly if you find anything what so ever redeeming in that cacophony all your taste is in your mouth.

[GuanoLad]

What's the last song you heard and hated instantly?

Most of them.

I don't wait around to hear what they're called. Not that radio DJs tell you that info anymore, most of the time.

It seems to me a lot of modern music has no melody, no instrumentation, and an unbelievable overuse of drum machine and autotune. It's a nightmarish cacophony of shite out there.

Do you understand that both of those are vanity projects which are universally mocked? They don't "pass for music" in any sense that justifies your mournfulness.

[salinqmind]

I wouldn't know. I listen to satellite radio or the oldies station. I neither know the names of, nor care about, 99% of 'modern' music. But I LOVE 'Pumped Up Kicks'! Also, I'm very contrary - the whole world will be swooning over Joe Blow and I will resist listening to Joe Blow.

[KneadToKnow]

Whatever that "Spin It Around" shit is that GSN is playing during their Dancing with the Stars commercials.

Before that it was whatever that "Can't Stop" shit is Geico is playing during their "forget about it, this is New Yowk" commercials.

I don't actually listen to the radio much.

Rebecca may get a pass with that excuse but Courtney needs to be fed to ravenous lizards. That shit is a crime against humanity.

I saw the Jimmy Fallon as Neil Young (with Bruce Springsteen) cover of that, which was inspired, and looked up the original.

I lasted about 20 seconds.

[bmasters1]

Don't know exactly, but one of the most is "Would You Go With Me" by Josh Turner; I have never been a fan of his, let alone that song, and every time it comes on, I change the station for the duration.

[Pine Fresh Scent]

It came out a while ago but that T.I. song "Whatever You Like" is so juvenile it makes me laugh, but man is it also annoying.

Anytime you want to pick up the telephone you
know that it ain't nothing to drop a couple stacks on you
If you want it you can get it my dear
5 millions dollars homes drop the business I swear.

It's got all the class of Lloyd Christmas' fantasy seduction of Mary Swanson in Dumb and Dumber. At least the character of the song (no disrespect to T.I.) will wise up when the money runs out, along with his woman.

The mention of the phone always makes me think of a sketch from Mr. Show where a 70's porn king (David Cross) is hosting a Boogie Nights type party in his crappy apartment and leans over a female guest, saying "Wanna make a long distance phone call? Can if you want to" while pointing at the rotary phone.

"These are the party days, people!"

[Eliahna]

Santa Claus is Coming to Town by Justin Bieber. Bah.

Well then, I'll get slagged even more for this. In hated Rolling In The Deep immediately. If course then it becomes hugely popular and played like a bazillion damn times. Many stations were changed, my friends, many stations were changed.

[UFC Is Sux]

Just about anything colloquially described as "rap" (if you can call them "songs" at all). I've never heard a rap of any kind that said anything to me or evoked an emotional response other than bemusement that people actually get paid real cash money to do that into a microphone.

I have a soft spot for the cover by Anya Marina. Kind of mind bendy when the lyrics are exactly same but sung by a woman, particularly the very end.

Funny you should mention them. I heard their name a lot, but I didn't know any songs by them. Then just a couple days ago, I was driving home from the store and this god-awful song came on the radio. Something like "Let's kick it up," seemed to me it was obviously written in the hopes some beer commercial would use it. Anyway, it turned out to be the BEPs, so now I know I hate them.

No slagging here...'hate' is probably too strong a word for me, but I cringed the first time I heard it and have avoided it whenever possible.

I'm getting more and more annoyed at groups that use voice synthesizers in place of actual vocal talent. I think the Simpsons made fun of this a few years back. I listen to a lot of live music and appreciate what it takes to knock something out in front of a group of people. It really irritates me when I see people making piles of money with virtually no talent beyond what is probably a lot of techno-crap help from record labels.

Beyond that it's any song that repeats nonsense lyrics over and over and over again. I wish I could remember the song that actually made me leave a store. It went on for what seemed like 5 minutes and I finally couldn't take it anymore.

[koeeoaddi]

That song Jewel wrote about her hands.

[Lo-Slung Denim]

The one about who do you think you are, running 'round stealing hearts, putting them in jars or some bollocks. I don't want to look it up because it will make me cross

[elfkin477]

Yeah...I heard that one once and deleted it immediately, looks like.

[jz78817]

the song by They Might Be Giants that was used on the show Malcolm in the Middle. the "singing" was done in such a nasally voice that it sounded like a couple of teenagers deliberately trying to sing as annoyingly as possible because they thought it would be hilarious.

ETA: actually, I find pretty much anything by TMBG to be irritating.

One of my daughter's friends said that it sounds like Willow's saying, "I stick my hand out my butt, I stick my hand out my butt!"

After I heard the song, I had to agree.

[Ponch8]

The majority of songs I hear. Yesterday I was at a pizza place and they were playing all sorts of middle-of-the-road (I guess you could call it adult contemporary) music. I didn't recognize a single song, and every single song was a piece of shit. Then today as I was flipping through the music channels on my cable box, I had the misfortune to hear a couple seconds of a Daughtry song and a couple seconds of a Nickelback song. It's the vanilla music like this that I hate the most (except for country).

[PunditLisa]

Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream." If you have to say "let's go all the way tonight," it's a pretty good indication that you're not mature enough go all the way. And the breathless stop and start way she sings the song is annoying, and similar to all her other songs.

Secondly, we have "Party in the USA." It references a Britney song, for pete's sake. Cyrus' vocals are grating.

Finally, we have Black Eyed Peas "My Humps." Not sexy or even provocative; just 100% embarrassing.

[iamthewalrus(:3=]

Bruno Mars - Grenade.

[Maiira]

"Daughters" by John Mayer. I heard it on the radio and thought "someone thought this was a good song to write and perform? Someone else thought it was good enough to record and publish? And someone ELSE thought it was good enough to play for the general public?? Where's the wormhole, because clearly I'm trapped in a horrible, ass-backwards parallel universe where NO ONE HAS ANY TASTE."

You're not the only one. The first time I heard this I thought "Is that Adele? She sounds awful!" And now it's played over and over and over and over and over and I hate it even more.

There's a lot of crappy Christmas music that would fall into this category as well.

Huh...I felt immediate hatred for the unintelligible country music song in the Geico Texas commercial. I can't understand a thing they're saying, but it gets stuck in my head with what I know are incorrect lyrics. I hate the song so much that I don't want to waste time researching it.

"If I could separate what's real from what I'm dreamin' and somethin' with another hey" Worst earworm I've had in a long time.

[cmkeller]

The most recent? There's this one that goes "You make me feel like Na Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na Na..." and it's on all the blasted time!! Good lord, there's so much "Na Na" in that song that it makes Journey's "Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin'" sound verbose.

[Infovore]

"Party Rock Anthem." I'd never heard it before until I watched New Year's Rockin' Eve (or part of it) the other night. What a load of tripe. I have no idea why this song is popular, but I suspect copious amounts of beer must be involved.

That's the band Cobra Starship - I also despise that song.

Practically anything with autotune gets my hatred. It was "cute" when Cher used it in what I though was a one-off use of a special effect. Little did I know....

[corkboard]

That annoying "I got the moo-ooo-ooo--ooo-oooves, like Jagger". Hate hate hate hate hate it.

[Lukeinva]

Any thing by lady GAG GAG.

Gag.

[phungi]

These two come to mind:

Breakfast at Tiffany's - Deep Blue Something
We Didn't Start the Fire - Billy Joel

[Unauthorized Cinnamon]

No hate for "It Girl" yet? I hate this song top to bottom and side to side. I can't decide if the banality or the misogyny is predominant. And it sticks in my head like nobody's business.

[clarkstar]

katy perry's "Firework". horrible excuse for music, the only reason she is popular is because of her boobs. her video even has her shooting sparklers from her boobs. pathetic
