“Do You Believe (in life after love)” by Cher.

The only thing more annoying than listening to Cher, is listening to Cher with electronic distortion.

I have no idea who this guy is/was or whether he was just a figment of my imagination that makes me wake up in cold sweats every other night just knowing his song may have been released to the general public. But I’ll describe it to you.

Imagine a hyena laughing as it scrapes its nails across a chalkboard while a screaming infant holds a megaphone to its mouth.

Oh baby yooooooooou,  
you got what I neee-eeeed.  
But you say he’s just a friend. But you say he’s just a friend. oh baby yooooooou…  
Repeat until icepick is firmly entrenched within your cranium.

“Drops of Jupiter”

The lyrics are so fucking STUPID! Whoever wrote that “song” obviously added random words to most stanzas to make them rhyme. It’s pretty much entirely incoherent.

“I hope you dance” by someone whos name I can’t/don’t care to remember. It makes my skin crawl - I have to shut off the radio, or run screaming from the room.

Anything by Rancid…Oh my god…Rancid is the worst band EVER. No one can even understand my hatred for them…they have NO talent…NONE. The guitar part in most songs is like ‘hot cross buns’ played REALLY REALLY fast and with tons of distortion. Just thinking about them gives me the dry heaves.

Oh this one’s a toughie…since I can’t narrow it down to one song, I’ll list a few.

“I hope you daaaaaaaaaaaaance…” Yeah well I hope you die, no talent punk.

That song by Weezer…Hash Pipe. Every time I hear it I wish I could pull my ears off of my head and grind them into a bloody pulp so I don’t have to hear it.

Some other song that’s been getting a lot of airplay around here that starts off with some guy that sounds kinda like Vin Diesel a la Iron Giant doing this “a ha ha a ha ha…mmm hmm hmm mmm hmm mmm” thing. Last time I heard it I almost drove my car into a tree on purpose.

Also making this list is “Broken Home” by Papa Roach. I can’t stand that whiny stuffy-nose sounding little punk crying about how mommy and daddy got a divorce and he didn’t get paid enough attention as a child. Quit yer crying and grow up!

Atomic Kitten, and for me it’s a toss up between that and “Lady Marmalade”. Mind you, as annoying as AK’s “Eternal Flame” cover is, it’s a breath of fresh air after their last hit “Whole Again”. I mean, _how many fucking times can you sing the chorus in one song???_

And an aside to Christina Aguilera: knock off the diva shit. It was annoying when Mariah Carey did it (before she went into her “I still can’t sing, but hey look – new tits!” phase), and it’s annoying when you do it. So just… **stop it**.

Thank you for your attention.

Mmmmm… I _like_ that commercial.

Ba ba ba ba ba…

My nomination is “oochie wallie” by Nas. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.

I don’t mind “Lady Marmalade.” I sing along. It’s definitely not as bad as some others. I have to listen to a lot of Top 40 at work, too.

Oh baby, that’s Biz Markie. I don’t know why, but I love this one…I think BECAUSE it’s so screamingly, mind-numbingly awful.

So anyhow RIGHT NOW, not forever and ever amen but RIGHT NOW I hate whatever that song is by Hootie and…err, I mean the Spin Do…err…no, no Matchbox 20! Yeah…their “I think” song. “I think I’ve already lost you…I think you’re already gone…and anyone who has heard me sing…knows I’m talking about anything resembling my own talent…”

It has to be “With Arms Wide Open” by Creed. I have to scream and beat the car radio when I hear this song. AIIIII. Dude, I don’t give a crap about you praising jesus 'cause you reproduced!! Aiii! leave me alone!!! Oh, it sends chills of horror up my spine just thinking about it.

on the Cheez front I’ll go one step further and WAG that the FDA has a definition of cheese that Cheez Whiz and other cheez produx do not meet. I know, for example, that ice cream must contain a certain level of milk fat, or else it is legally, “ice milk.” A piece of law called the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 defines terms such as “light” “low-fat” & “fresh” and regulates health claims that can be made about foods. (Wanna read the definitions? course ya do. [http://www.fda.gov/opacom/backgrounders/foodlabel/newlabel.html](http://www.fda.gov/opacom/backgrounders/foodlabel/newlabel.html))

Which in turn has lead to a proliferation of misspellings (did I spell that correctly?) which sidestep the law. OTOH, many of the misspellings you’re speaking of predate this Act.

Lady Marmelade… Can’t they stop yelling…?

There are so very many songs that I hate - I don’t know where to begin. I won’t go saying things like, “I hate all of Dave Matthews’ songs” because that would be for a different thread. Here is a sampling:

1. “Whiskey in a Jar-o” by Metallica. I know it’s not actually “Jar-o,” but that’s what he says. My friend and I were in Best Buy, and she was turning on the radios. That song was on, and we got in a physical fight when I tried to turn it off. She’s a psycho. So am I, I suppose.

2. “Crawling” by Linkin Park. [SHUDDER]

3. “Lady Marmalade.” This RUINS the Moulin Rouge soundtrack!

4. “Rock Show” by Blink 182. I’m not sure if this is what it’s called, but I really despise it.

5. That song by Tantric. I don’t even know what it’s called, but every time that video comes on and I see the lead singer’s face, I nearly spew.

6. “Like a Feather” by Nikka Costa. She is such a whore, I can barely believe it. And what a sucky voice! Ugh.

7. “Warning” by Green Day. I used to love them, back before they sold out with “Good Riddance” and before Billie Joe got fat.

8. “Pop” by \*NSYNC. My obsessed friends don’t even like this song - that’s how bad it is.

9. “Angel” by Shaggy. When I was in London, I heard it about five times a day. Disgusting.

10. I don’t remember who sings it, and I don’t care, but that stupid, “Let the bodies hit the floor, let the bodies hit the floor” piece of shiz. It makes me wonder who decides what bands are going to make it and what kind of mental damage they endured as children.

11. “Your Disease” by Saliva. Especially the live/acoustic version. Hideous.

I can’t think of any more.

I love “Clint Eastwood” by Gorillaz, but I don’t understand why I see the video every time I turn on the TV. I also love that Biz Markie song. Sweet. And I love “Hash Pipe.” To each his own, I suppose.

“Follow me, everything is all right, I’ll be the one to tuck you in at night…”

The trouble with “I Hope You Dance” was that after it was completely played out on country radio, “lite” radio picked up on it and eventually it made its way even to our “dance” station ???

I am offended by Tim McGraw’s latest “Grown Men Don’t Cry” as it implies the homeless woman the narrator sees brought her situation on herself. It hasn’t been completely overplayed yet but I have to turn it off out of a sense of outrage.

And I haven’t gotten over my hatred of “Breathe” by Faith Hill.

I can’t believe nobody’s mentioned “Kiss, Kiss” by Stella Soleil. I hate pop music and don’t listen to those stations, but that song is a cut above everything else in sheer shit-osity. Of course, that’s the song that’s playing whenever I walk into a store to get something. It actually makes me weep from horror.

There’s plenty of songs on the country station they make us listen to at work, but I can’t tell any of them apart enough to make out (or remember) specifics–it all just blends together in an 8 hour stretch of hazy blue pain.

Nobody beats the Biz! I will hear no more badmouthing of him. He’s go beats up his sleeve like you wouldn’t believe! (whatcha mean, Bizmarkie? whatcha mean, Bizmarkie? – oh, sorry.) In fact, the above lyrics that you quoted were my answering machine message for some time a few years back.

That’s why I like all his stuff! Don’t forget “The Vapors”.

My current hate is The Drowning Pool’s “Bodies”. This band is a total ripoff of Godsmack – and Godsmack are a bunch of talentless ripoff hacks themselves! I can’t imagine anything less original or more annoying. To boot, they make a lot of faces and use the 12 year old style “Look how freaky and scary I am” shtick.

Ugh. Somebody put them out of my misery.
