Songs that make you go Aaaarrgh!!!!

[Gullet]

What songs do you hate so much that you dive for the off button as soon as they come on the radio?

For me it has to be that annoying piece of garbage "Frankie" by Sister Sledge, closely followed by the teeth grinding "Dancing in the Moonlight" by Toploader. Both songs should have been destroyed at birth.

Oh, and also ANYTHING by the woeful warbler Mariah Carey....................Aaaaaaarrrrgh......pure torture.

Hmm, I like Mariah Carey in small doses & Dancing in the moonlight is a great track. The onr that makes me cringe is "love shack!" by the B52's - what a pile of pants!!!

 

[CHAPPERS]

Anything by Robbie Williams
The new Maroon 5 single.

 

[Set of Tracksuits]

"Young at Heart" by the Bluebells. Oh my God it makes me want to cut off my ears from the very start when that violin starts playing.

I feel all agitated now just thinking about it.

 

[Cian]

Anything by The Streets,

However, Tipsy by J-Kwon usually results in me pulling the power cord on my radio/TV and not just muting it.

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

Mull of Kintyre. Not that you hear it much on the radio these days, mercifully.

 

[Ernest]

Anything by Fat Boy Slim

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

any rap

 

[dougdeep]

Agadoo.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

the streets. oh my god they are actually PANTS

 

[Dropkick Turnip]

Babycakes. Pure drivel and isn't it ever so slightly reminiscent of something equally nauseating by KC And The Sunshine Band?

 

[Dropkick Turnip]

Oh yeah, and Chain Reaction by Diana Ross.

 

[Lush]

Agree re Jamie Oliver sound-a-like sixth-form poet Mike Skinner.

Sheryl Crow "Every Day Is A Whining Road"

oh - and Outkast - "Hey Ya" sets my teeth on edge

 

[Croydonbloke]

Wombles of Wimbledon.

 

[chez]

Wombles of Wimbledon.

And theres me thinking you were gonna say Sussex by the sea!

 

[Brady's Old Lady]

Anything by the lighthouse family

 

[Strike]

Yeah I think the Streets are pants.

 

[Barnet Seagull]

House of Pain - Jump Around
Nirvana - Smells like teen spirit
Free - All Right Now


Toploader - agreed.

pretty much anything by Celine/Whitney/Mariah

The coors
Bananarama

I could go on

 

[The Large One]

"Young at Heart" by the Bluebells. Oh my God it makes me want to cut off my ears from the very start when that violin starts playing.

Weird you should mention that. I had to write a headline about Kirsty Young, and my inspiration got as far as 'Young at Heart'. So it has been sitting in my head for a few hours. Jeez, I really need a headcrap now.

Mariah Carey / Celine Dion / Whitney Houston are beyond contempt. They can't sing, their voices are as graceful as flying shit, and they do it far too loud. Carey's version of 'Without You', itself a great song with a tragic history, really should not have been done - and if I ever meet her, I will stick my fist as far down her throat as I can put it. If only for that travesty - but unfortunately she is guilty of several more.

I also hate the current rendition of 'It's My Life'. Talk Talk's original was f***ing BRILLIANT - as indeed was much of their output - but whoever the cow was that did the cover of it should keep quiet forever. Painful.

And finally for now, 'Why Does It Always Rain On Me?' Because you're such-an-inoffensively-bland-craphat-outfit-that-it's-offensive-in-itself-type combo. That's why.

Gwen Stefani. Well, No Doubt in theory, but shes the singer.
