“Sweet Caroline” - Neil Diamond (especially when drunk people sing it, adding that “bum bum bum” bullshit.)  
“Don’t Stop Believin’” - Journey (I used to like it until I heard it 10,000 times in bars, at karaoke night, etc.)

Then there are so many songs I’ve hated from the first time I heard them, I’m not going to bother trying to list any.

I’m probably going to hell for this, but I cannot stand _It’s a Wonderful World_. It would be difficult enough to tolerate even if it wasn’t used for every sappy TV/radio montage ever made.

Just a quick point - you are familiar with the Dolly Parton version of I Will Always Love You (Dolly wrote it)? A completely different feel to the song and infinitely better than the Whitney Houston attempt.

“American Pie”. Everything I hate about '70s “rock” in one song (not as bad as “Starry, Starry Night”, but that doesn’t get played nearly as much).

Gosh, there are so many. Here is one for me - “MacArthur Park.” Such stupid lyrics.
