That song is like Lord Voldemort: The Song-That-Must-Not-Be-Named.
Mary Had a Little Lamb
Kumbayah
Jingle Bells
the Brady Bunch theme song
Frere Jacques
The entire catalog by The Flaming Lips. With the occasional (once every six months or so) of Do You Realize?
I had the misfortune of seeing them in concert several years ago when they opened for Candlebox. They played for about 45 minutes, and NEVER stopped playing. There was no break from one song to the next, and it seemed like a 45-minute song.
Terrible. Horrible. I LOATHE this band. I hate this band with the passion of a thousand burning suns. I hate the band like I hate the Yankees.
I hate this band like Jewish people hate Hitler. Only more often.
Light My Fire (so SEXIST and selfish! come to think of it, I hate the Doors).
If loving you is wrong (some whiny pop princess, don’t remember her name, 80s? 90s?).
Born to be Wild. (I neither liked, nor disliked it before a horrible experience. I had a part time job at a bar, and the Wednesday night women’s dart league would play it OVER and OVER and OVER again on the juke box)
Anything by George Thoroughgood, ESPECIALLY Bbbbb bbbb bad and "One beer, one shot, (whatever the heck it’s called).
That weird song about Sana Monica Boulevard (I call it “the irresponsible song”). I think it’s by Cheryl Crow?
A lot of truly horrible, horrible things posted but, seriously, if you haven’t heard what passes for pop these days…just click on it, I don’t want to be the only one suffering…
Just watched “College Road Trip” with my daughter, and it contained a scene in which Raven Symone sings “Double Dutch Bus” karaoke style. It dredged up horrible memories of the original by Frankie Smith. I change the station immediately as soon as I realize it’s on.
These two songs are tied for being the most irritating to me:
“We didn’t start the fire” by Billy Joel
and
“Do they know it’s Christmas” by whoever/Live Aid singers
The most nauseating song ever recorded is “Reunited” by Peaches & Herb.
UB40 was a pretty good British quasi-reggae band before their cover of this song broke them big, but it is very atypical of their overall output.
The original was by Neil Diamond.
I hate you.
I hate to be the one to tell you, but . . . she’s done other songs.
And they’re worse.
A lot worse.
And they’re going to let her make MORE OF THEM.

Did you really have to post a link to that?
In Europe the Paperlace version of Billy Don’t Be A Hero was the hit version.
Christmas music of any kind.
Rod Stewart songs.
Bob Dylan “singing” anything. His songs are pretty good overall when others who can sing perform them.
That’ll do for now.
Clint Holmes, “Playground in My Mind”
Phil Collins, “Illegal Alien”
Bobby Goldsboro, “Honey”
Mac Davis, “Baby, Don’t Get Hooked on Me,” which contains these actual, execrable lyrics: “Girl, you’re a hot-blooded woman-child, and it pleases where you’re touching me.”
Color Me Badd, “I Wanna Sex You Up”
Ask me another day, and I’d probably choose a different top 5–“Uptown Funk” and “Candyman” are definitely contenders.
Anything by Jimmy Buffet.
Anything by Justin Beiber.
Anything by just about any country music "artist,’ but most notably, Eric Church.
Funny how this zombie just happened to shamble onto the front page just as one of my most hated came on: Rapture by Blondie. I’ve always loved the band and Debbie Harry in particular but the sound of her voice and that ridiculous rapping make me want to punch her in the neck.
That ear assault about how the singer met the girl in a bar and he held her back while she was throwing up.:dubious: He then “pulls her closer to his chest”. I don’t need that visual. Even without that, the song is just a steaming pile of glurge.
The wretched, execrably awful pop music channel they were running at Jason’s Deli yesterday afternoon.
The most likely explanation is they don’t like people spending too much time eating and want them out the door ASAP to free up table space.
In which we find the timeless lyric: “the heat was hot.”
