Yeah, it sure was the wallpaper of background noise of the 70s, as was ragtime piano music was in the early decades of the 20th century. Overplayed, but at least it was lively, and even “swung” a little.
‘Babe’, on the other hand made me have to fight the urge to throw up in my mouth every time I heard it…which was too damned often.
Part of the song is badass. If you find an edit that keeps the guitars and minimizes the keyboards, tell me.
I wonder how the rest of the band felt, standing around for 2 1/2 minutes doing nothing while Mr Ego sings and strokes his keys.
The Beatles’ “Birthday” just gives me a headache.
When I first heard that song back in the day, I LOATHED it. I HATED IT. and here it is decades later, and I now really like it, a semi-erotic jazzy fantasia…It’s much like my history of cilantro. Hated it forever…and somehow today I can’t get enough. Tastes change.
It’s even worse in Spanish (I think, both make me want to run to the hills.)
Eddie Money’s “Two Tickets to Paradise” makes me all stabby.
Wow! We’re really plumbing new depths of pure wretchedness here! :eek:
Has anyone mentioned the Police - Every Breath You Take? God but that is totally unacceptable in modern day.
Yeah, everyone was a sick pervert way back in 1983. :rolleyes:
I didn’t like “Old Time Rock and Roll” by Bob Seger back when it was first released, and it’s been played so much since then that my hatred has only grown.
LOL. So many “great” songs here=)
I don’t really like 'Toy" by Netta. Just don’t understand that strange sounds in the beginning.
My oldest went to high school with them and even she didn’t buy their CD.
The joke was on Johnny since Leslie would have preferred Judy, ifyouknowwhatImean. 
You know, I’ve been to Kokomo and it’s the second least likely town in Indiana to have a song, but look how well Gary’s song did.
I’ve also been to the East Side of Chicago. There isn’t much of it but a junkyard had the part I needed.
That it is, but that doesn’t mean it’s not unlistenable dreck.
The Beatles were right-- I don’t need you. 
Is there anything redeeming about Rick Springfield’s “Jesse’s Girl”???
Maybe, but the point is probably moot.
Guys.
Seriously?
Sit through this. All the way. You’ll be glad you have “Brandy” and “All Out of Love” to come back to.
This song has the immortal lyric “There’s only one of you. That’s the funnest part of you.” Just brilliant, that, rhyming “you” with “you”. And to think that guy from Panic! At The Disco is a part of this.
(Just don’t put me on your ignore list for this. After all, it’s consistent with the thread topic.)
Cute.
“But one of these things is not like the others
Like a rainbow with all of the colors”
I- Ah… What?
I actually can tolerate most of the songs mentioned (but hey, I’m 66 and have had time to build up an immunity), but four make my ‘hit the button as fast as I can’ list.
Having my Baby - Paul Anka (mentioned multiple times before)
Afternoon Delight - Starland Vocal Band (this makes Muskrat Love bearable)
I’ve Never Been to Me - Charlene (Possibly the worst lyrics in the history of Western Civilization)
IN the year 2525 - Zager and Evans. Why?
OK, Elvis and Frankie Valli, I can take 'em or leave 'em, but “Walk Like a Man,” and, “Hound Dog,” make my ears bleed. Why? The back-up singers.
