I saw the Jimmy Fallon as Neil Young (with Bruce Springsteen) cover of that, which was inspired, and looked up the original.
I lasted about 20 seconds.
Yeah, that’s the one. Makes me stabby.

Don’t know exactly, but one of the most is “Would You Go With Me” by Josh Turner; I have never been a fan of his, let alone that song, and every time it comes on, I change the station for the duration.
It came out a while ago but that T.I. song “Whatever You Like” is so juvenile it makes me laugh, but man is it also annoying.
Anytime you want to pick up the telephone you
know that it ain’t nothing to drop a couple stacks on you
If you want it you can get it my dear
5 millions dollars homes drop the business I swear.
It’s got all the class of Lloyd Christmas’ fantasy seduction of Mary Swanson in Dumb and Dumber. At least the character of the song (no disrespect to T.I.) will wise up when the money runs out, along with his woman.
The mention of the phone always makes me think of a sketch from Mr. Show where a 70’s porn king (David Cross) is hosting a Boogie Nights type party in his crappy apartment and leans over a female guest, saying “Wanna make a long distance phone call? Can if you want to” while pointing at the rotary phone.
“These are the party days, people!”
Santa Claus is Coming to Town by Justin Bieber. Bah.
Well then, I’ll get slagged even more for this. In hated Rolling In The Deep immediately. If course then it becomes hugely popular and played like a bazillion damn times. Many stations were changed, my friends, many stations were changed.
Just about anything colloquially described as “rap” (if you can call them “songs” at all). I’ve never heard a rap of any kind that said anything to me or evoked an emotional response other than bemusement that people actually get paid real cash money to do that into a microphone.
I have a soft spot for the cover by Anya Marina. Kind of mind bendy when the lyrics are exactly same but sung by a woman, particularly the very end.
Funny you should mention them. I heard their name a lot, but I didn’t know any songs by them. Then just a couple days ago, I was driving home from the store and this god-awful song came on the radio. Something like “Let’s kick it up,” seemed to me it was obviously written in the hopes some beer commercial would use it. Anyway, it turned out to be the BEPs, so now I know I hate them.
No slagging here…‘hate’ is probably too strong a word for me, but I cringed the first time I heard it and have avoided it whenever possible.
I’m getting more and more annoyed at groups that use voice synthesizers in place of actual vocal talent. I think the Simpsons made fun of this a few years back. I listen to a lot of live music and appreciate what it takes to knock something out in front of a group of people. It really irritates me when I see people making piles of money with virtually no talent beyond what is probably a lot of techno-crap help from record labels.
Beyond that it’s any song that repeats nonsense lyrics over and over and over again. I wish I could remember the song that actually made me leave a store. It went on for what seemed like 5 minutes and I finally couldn’t take it anymore.
That song Jewel wrote about her hands.
The one about who do you think you are, running 'round stealing hearts, putting them in jars or some bollocks. I don’t want to look it up because it will make me cross :mad:
Yeah…I heard that one once and deleted it immediately, looks like.
the song by They Might Be Giants that was used on the show Malcolm in the Middle. the “singing” was done in such a nasally voice that it sounded like a couple of teenagers deliberately trying to sing as annoyingly as possible because they thought it would be hilarious.
ETA: actually, I find pretty much anything by TMBG to be irritating.
One of my daughter’s friends said that it sounds like Willow’s saying, “I stick my hand out my butt, I stick my hand out my butt!”
After I heard the song, I had to agree.
The majority of songs I hear. Yesterday I was at a pizza place and they were playing all sorts of middle-of-the-road (I guess you could call it adult contemporary) music. I didn’t recognize a single song, and every single song was a piece of shit. Then today as I was flipping through the music channels on my cable box, I had the misfortune to hear a couple seconds of a Daughtry song and a couple seconds of a Nickelback song. It’s the vanilla music like this that I hate the most (except for country).
Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream.” If you have to say “let’s go all the way tonight,” it’s a pretty good indication that you’re not mature enough go all the way. And the breathless stop and start way she sings the song is annoying, and similar to all her other songs.
Secondly, we have “Party in the USA.” It references a Britney song, for pete’s sake. Cyrus’ vocals are grating.
Finally, we have Black Eyed Peas “My Humps.” Not sexy or even provocative; just 100% embarrassing.
Bruno Mars - Grenade.
“Daughters” by John Mayer. I heard it on the radio and thought “someone thought this was a good song to write and perform? Someone else thought it was good enough to record and publish? And someone ELSE thought it was good enough to play for the general public?? Where’s the wormhole, because clearly I’m trapped in a horrible, ass-backwards parallel universe where NO ONE HAS ANY TASTE.”
