Ah! I see that I didn’t post this back when, so I will post it now.
“That Girl is Mine” by Michael Jackson & Paul McCartney fills me with the rage of a thousand suns.
What the hell, people.
Okay, so you’re both dating this girl, and you both apparently thought you were monogamous with her, but she’s seeing the other dude.
So what do you do? Confront her about cheating? Reflect on the situation and realize that you may have assumed a commitment that wasn’t there? Decide that she isn’t really someone you want to be involved with, and ghost out? Talk to the other fella, who you’re apparently friends with, and both decide to dump her lest she break up your friendship?? NO. Those would have been reasonable responses.
Instead, you two lunkheads get into an argument about who deserves her more, who she loves better. Hellooooooo? There’s exactly one person who can answer that question, and it ain’t either one of you. You fellas need to be taking this up with her.
“The Girl Is Mine”, bullshit. She ain’t the property of either one of you. If you aren’t willing to share her affections, you need to find another girl.
I had to review the whole thread to make sure I hadn’t already posted this.
There are some good (bad) songs listed here. But the one I HATE the most is one that repeats the same lyrics over and over and over
Megamart radio plays the same songs over and over again, torturing the drudges who have no say in what is played.
Whitney Houston (all of it)
“I’ve got a brand new pair of roller skates”
“What is Love (Baby Don’t Hurt Me)”
Celtic Folk song “Nancy’s Whiskey” is an earworm song if there ever was one. I’ll probably be hearing it all night now.
Gordon Lightfoot “Sundown” has been mentioned already. I hate songs that pull me out of the music because I am confounded by the lyrics.
“American Woman”
Any song with an exceptionally loud, over-amplified bass line from a car lingering on our street.
At Christmas (this was another thread)
“Santa Baby/Santa Buddy”
A Medley of “Let it Snow” and “Don’t Worry, Be Happy.”
My husband tells me that he hates hearing sad songs at work when he has hours to go before he can give me a hug (Dan Fogelburg, for example)
‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’. Right from day one. To this day I don’t understand why people think Nirvana was worth listening to. Not with Pearl Jam and Soundgarden out there at the same time.
Oh God no. This song made me genuinely feel like there was still hope for rock and roll. It came out of the blue and made me think good music was possible again.
I love it to this day.
Creedence Clearwater Revival’s Lookin’ Out My Back Door
“Doo Doo Doo Lookin out my back door” sung over and over at a somewhat manic speed. I loathe the sound of Fogerty’s voice, although I tolerate some CCR songs better than this particular one.
I also can’t stand listening to Bob Dylan sing - I could never appreciate his “genius”.
And Jewel - you know, the “poet”/songwriter. Zero artistic merit. She seems to have faded away, for which I am grateful.
