We did the other side of the coin already [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=633660). To my surprise in the other thread, some people answered there my answer here: the last song I heard and instantly hated is **Foster The People** ’s “Pumped Up Kicks.” However, I still have 2 or 3 more of their songs that were downloaded as part of a podcast that I haven’t listened to yet, and I’m sure I’ll hate those too… So how about you? What’s the last song that left you with an instant negative opinion of it? ---

Anything by the Black Eyed Peas or by LMFAO instantly makes me cringe. ---

I wish I knew the name. It’s a female singer, singing something about her heart, and she makes the word “heart” into a twenty-syllable word… “…something something my heart hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu heart…” Joe ---

A toss-up between: [Rebecca Black’s “Friday”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfVsfOSbJY0) and [Courtney Stodden’s “Don’t Put It On Me”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOrD5kqyov0) It’s truly sad, what passes for music these days. ☹ ---

I know I’ll get slagged for this, but “Someone Like You” by Adele is whiny and repetitive. I loved “Rolling In The Deep”, but SLY misuses the heck out of Adele’s vocal skills. ---

I cannot stand songs where the lead singer sounds like the guy [in this song.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbvzkdYqJDc) Something about his douchey inflection. . . I just can’t. Needless to say, I loathe that song. ---

I heard “I Whip my Hair Back and Forth” (or a sample from it) for the first time just yesterday, and it was like nails down a blackboard. Which sucks because I wanted to like it, I really did. :: shudder :: Also, anything at all in which the word “Baby” is pronounced “Behbeh.” If you’re not Cajun, I ain’t listening. This includes the entirety of Justin Bieber’s discography. ---

Superbass by Nicki Minaj. The chorus is tolerable but the sound of her voice in the verses is… I don’t even know how to describe it. Beyond obnoxious. ---

Sensual Seduction, holy crap that song is awful, I thought that song was a parody or something. I’m probably alone in hating the fuck out of Hey Ya! by OutKast too. ---

I was absolutely dumbfounded that someone started a thread here extolling it’s virtues and gushing about what an incredible talent Willow Smith is. I realize she’s just a kid so I held my tongue to avoid thread-shitting but honestly if you find anything what so ever redeeming in that cacophony all your taste is in your mouth. ---

**What’s the last song you heard and hated instantly?** Most of them. I don’t wait around to hear what they’re called. Not that radio DJs tell you that info anymore, most of the time. It seems to me a lot of modern music has no melody, no instrumentation, and an unbelievable overuse of drum machine and autotune. It’s a nightmarish cacophony of shite out there. ---

I wouldn’t know. I listen to satellite radio or the oldies station. I neither know the names of, nor care about, 99% of ‘modern’ music. But I LOVE ‘Pumped Up Kicks’! Also, I’m very contrary - the whole world will be swooning over Joe Blow and I will resist listening to Joe Blow. ---

Whatever that “Spin It Around” shit is that GSN is playing during their _Dancing with the Stars_ commercials. Before that it was whatever that “Can’t Stop” shit is Geico is playing during their “forget about it, this is New Yowk” commercials. I don’t actually listen to the radio much. ---
