I’ll see you “New Kid in Town” and raise you “Life in the Fast Lane.”
I also hate “Imagine” but perhaps that’s more appropriate for a ‘songs everybody loves but you’ thread.
…and I like “Baker Street” 
Just listened to the OP’s least favorite song and, oh boy, those guys are cheesy. I didn’t find the tune offensive, but I only listened to it once. Now their song that WOOKINPANUB mentioned the lyrics of… that made me punchy and I stopped the madness less than 1/2-way through. I think knowing the lyrics helped. Or hurt.
Ugh, that Fatboy Slim WAS horrible… good call guys
I’m still laughing at this!
Gosh, that is so true. Wind Beneath My Wings makes me feel like I’m about to go into diabetic shock. Ugh.
And I guess I’m the only one who loves Paralyzer. It’s one of my jams.
I take it we HAVE to stick to popular songs by popular artists?
Wildfire by Michael Martin Murphey. I don’t mind most corny songs, but that makes my skin crawl.
What is it? Can’t tell from the URL.
I don’t think so. I used a pretty obscure band in the first thread and didn’t get told I was doing it wrong.
“Paradise by the Dashboard Light” by Meat Loaf.
Ouch. On my top 25 list.
Anna Sun
Can’t remember the crap band.
What? You think someone’s going to look up your hated band for you?
OK, it’s a fair cop. I can’t help myself. I also can’t say I’ll be a big fan of Walk The Moon anytime soon, after hearing that song.
I was a promotions manager at a popular nightclub when this one was in the top ten, so I got to hear it loud and often. The DJ used to “send it out” especially to me…
Adele, Hello. God that song is annoying and dumb.
“What’s Up” 4 Non Blondes. Its saving grace is that the beginning of the song is pretty inoffensive, so when it comes on the radio I have sufficient time to change the station before it launches into the god-awful chorus.
Thank you. I was beginning to think I was the only person in America who couldn’t stand that song - and its appeal and popularity are unfathomable to me.
But my least favorite song of all time is:
“My Heart Will Go On” by Celine Dion.
Near, far, whereeeeever you are…
There’s some horrid thing that gets airplay at the moment, starts off with an emphatic disco beat and ends up with someone loudly repeating a phrase that sounds like “don’t believe it’s just {something}”, can’t make out the last word, might be “right”, “rot”, “ought”, “rap”, “awry”, hell I don’t know, it isn’t enunciated very clearly in any of the repetitions.
Male singer.
My high school girlfriend really enjoyed this song, and it took me about two or three listens before I fully paid attention to the narrative:
I think she saw it is a romantic song; I saw it as quite the opposite. I mean, I’m assuming that is what the artist was intended, but the lyrics are just horrible, with horrible people.
At least those horrible people–who deserve each other–end up with each other.
Apart from the fact that that chick’s yodeling throughout most of the song makes my blood curdle, can you think of any band trying as hard to show how 90’s grunge/hipster/edgy they are? Look at that video. It’s like they sent away for a fashion starter set for four and just went crazy with it.
Not to mention … the friggin’ song should be called, What’s Going On? not What’s Up? damnit. Or maybe Heidi Yodels Her Way To Seattle or something, idunno.
ETA: I didn’t even see The wind of my soul’s entry when I posted. Another poster of unquestioning taste, no doubt.
Yeah, I guess I don’t need to explain this, but I just couldn’t help but imagine how this would actually play out in real life. So I’m sick of my wife and, instead of I dunno, talking to her and working on our stale marriage, I take out a personal ad looking for an affair. Then, as I’m waiting at O’Malleys for my potential paramour to show up, I find out it’s my wife, who apparently was also so sick of the marriage that she was trolling the personal ads looking for an affair. And we just have a crazy Three’s Company-style laugh about the crazy coincidence. O…K…
Are you going to finish the Doctor Who watch-from-the-start, or the catching-up-on-popular-films-you-haven’t-seen threads?
