Thought of another. [You’re} Having My Baby by Paul Anka.
[You’re] Having My Baby - YouTube
I don’t find this one so annoying. This one struck me like “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling” and “Jailhouse Rock” as secret gay songs from the 60’s. They probably didn’t intend that with it, but my imagination works overtime.
I agree with Jailhouse Rock. The verse that seals it:
Number 47 said to number three
‘You’re the cutest jailbird I ever did see
I sure would be delighted with your company
Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me.’
My teenage ears always heard line #3 as: “I sure would be delighted with you pumping me.” Which made it a lot more gay than it actually was.
ETA: Not that it’s an annoying song.
In honor of this thread I walked into my boss’ office and said “Alexa, play Push the little daisies and make em come up” then walked out.
I once got the entire rehab facility by suddenly screaming “Alexa!! Play my daughter has a muffin top!!” Round #2 was an actual song. I screamed “Alexa!! Play My Guitar Wants To Kill Yer Mama!!” and got the same amount of laughter.
Over an hour now. If I thought anyone would listen to the whole thing, I would put up polls for the most annoying and least annoying song on the list.
‘Honey” - Bobby Goldsboro
“‘Horse With No Name” - America (for that matter, anything by America)
“Disco Duck” - Rick Dees
“Hey Shirley (This is Squirrely)” - Shirley and Squirrely
In case you want some ideas for classical pieces for your playlist:
I have added the songs suggested that are on Spotify that I have never heard.
Wish me luck as I listen to the playlist to edit out the ones that are not annoying enough.

OK! Over 2 hours long now.
Go ahead and add YMCA now.
WARNING! If you’ve never heard this song before, it will become an earworm
The Shaggs My Pal Foot Foot
My first thought when I heard of this was that “My Pal Foot Foot” would be a great name for a band.
I used to attend a church whose contemporary service had the WORST songs. The woman who chose them knew her theology, but the CCM songs she picked were usually tuneless and boring. It always reminded me of an old “Dennis The Menace” cartoon where they’re in church, and the caption is “Because I knew ‘Yankee Doodle’ better, that’s why.” In the end, she and her family left that church because the other parents of the 5-year-old Sunday School class had a meeting and told her and her husband that their special-needs son couldn’t be in the class with their kids any more, because he thought it was really funny to constantly pinch the other kids, and nothing seemed to divert him. In the end, he turned out to have a rare metabolic disorder that had autism-like symptoms, and a certain dietary supplement really improved his overall health.
How about Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless The USA”?
MacArthur Park - Richard Harris
Dude that version is awesome. Donna Summers disco version will be put on instead along with “Muskrat Love”.
Back in the late 80s, I was driving somewhere with a good friend while listening to a CCR album on cassette tape. He happened to mention how much he liked the song “Travelin’ Band.” When I got home, I put a CCR CD on my player, programmed it to repeat a single track, and made a 60-minute cassette that was just “Travelin’ Band” repeated continuously (both sides).
He loved it from the moment I gave it to him. He would frequently comment about people riding with him when he would deliberately put that cassette in. “Hey, I’ve got a Credence cassette. Is that OK?” He said the passenger(s) would inevitably comment on how much they liked “Travelin’ Band.” He said it usually took four or five repetitions of the song before the passenger(s) noted that it was just the same song over and over again. He said they never mentioned it until it had played at least three times.
Driving with Mrs Cad, I played 4 newly added songs in succession and she, not knowing what playlist I had on, loved them. That is why we don’t commute together.
40 songs and 2 hours 20 minutes long. Here is the playlist.
Here are songs that I find annoying, suggestions (some from SD) as to what’s annoying, some suggestions from friends and families. Is anyone brave enough to listen to it?
These Boots are Made for Walking – Crispin Glover
The inspiration for this playlist.
True Love Will Find You in the End – Daniel Johnston
Discovered this on the end credits for a House M.D. episode.
California Saga (The Beaks of Eagles) – The Beach Boys
Mrs Cad’s contribution to the list
Louden’s Bonnie Woods and Braes – Stuart Liddell
How about that anthem, huh? Gee, I don’t know about you, but I just get a great big lump in my throat every time I hear it.
My Pal Foot Foot – The Shaggs
Considered by many to be the worst musical group ever.
Outside the Hospital – Wild Man Fischer
Might be autobiographical given his history of mental illness.
Chacarron – El Chombo
Looked for this after hearing a clip on the GradeA UnderA Youtube channel.
The Most Wanted Song – Dave Soldier
After a survey, this song has the most loved features in a song yet everyone hates it.
Revolution 9 – The Beatles
The standard of annoying songs.
Surfin’ Bird – The Trashmen
Had to be on this list due to the Family Guy episode.
The Christmas Shoes – Newsong
Patton Oswald’s take. Warning NSFW.
Mr. Tambourine Man – William Shatner
Bill has said his take on the song is that he is a drug addict needing a fix and Mr. Tambourine man is his dealer.
The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins – Leonard Nimoy
The most 60’s video ever made.
Paralyzed – The Legendary Stardust Cowboy
Quite literally, I understood zero words in this song
Macarena – Los Del Rio
If you remember the dance, please don’t.
Friday – Rebecca Black
Wherein we learn the end of the week goes (in order) Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. And yes, there are dumber lyrics then that.
Push th’ Little Daisies – Ween
When I saw this guy on the left, I couldn’t help thinking of that guy on the right.
How to Make a Bechamel Sauce in 10 Steps (With Pictures) – Lynks
Horrible song but authentic recipe.
Limerence – Yves Tumor
The soundtrack to the most annoying home video ever.
The Safety Dance (Extended Dance Version) – Men Without Hats
Contribution from my sister.
The Magic Flute: Queen of the Night – Florence Foster Jenkins
There is a theory that due to the syphilis she got from her husband caused brain damage so she couldn’t hear how bad her singing was.
Drummer Boy – Justin Bieber & Busta Rhymes
Can an annoying song also be awesome? Yes!
I am not Afraid – Charley Crockett
A coworker said this was his favorite Charley Pride song so ‘nough said.
All by Myself – Green Day
I am not a Green Day fan and after listening to this you will not be either.
They’re Coming to Take Me Away – Napoleon XIV
The classic annoying song
John Wayne is Big Leggy (Groovy Long Version) – Haysi Fantayzee
7 minutes that seem like 70.
Seasons in the Sun – Terry Jacks
Apparently this is the sappiest death song ever.
Brand New Key – Melanie
She says the song is really about roller skating so it may belong in this thread.
Playground in My Mind – Clint Holmes
After this song, he should have to stay 100 feet from parks and schools.
How Do You Do? – Mouth & MacNeal
Perfect for a SNL musical guest in the first few seasons.
Avenging Annie – Andy Pratt
The largest falsetto/non-falsetto ratio ever.
I Want to be a Hulkamaniac – Battle Autistocrat
If you don’t picture this as the music for an 80’s cartoon montage then you are not human (or just really young).
Disco Duck – Rick Dees and his Cast of Idiots
Believe or not, this hit Billboard’s #1
Suspicious Minds – Fine Young Cannibals
I discovered a new genre of annoying songs, bad covers of great songs. Sorry I couldn’t find Avril Livigne’s live cover of Chop Suey on Spotify.
Polka Dot Undies – Bowser and Blue
I’m not sure what this genre is called, but the lyrics lead you to presume what the last word of the verse is, usually a naughty one, but they use a different clean word instead. Annoying.
Fish Heads – Barnes and Barnes
Not the Dr. Demento version but the original (annoying) version
Winchester Cathedral – New Vaudeville Band
This song beat out Good Vibrations, Eleanor Rigby, Monday Monday and Last Train to Clarksville for the 1967 Grammy for best rock & roll song.
MacArthur Park – Donna Summer
Wherein we learn if you don’t have the cake recipe then don’t leave your cake out in the rain.
Muskrat Love – Captain & Tennille
I am not an animal expert, but I don’t think the song accurately depicts muskrat mating behavior.
Our Lips of Sealed – Hilary and Haylie Duff
You think it can’t worse than Kid’s Bop. You are wrong.
No list of annoying songs can be complete without “It’s a Small World” by the Sherman brothers.
