Do you have a song (songs) you can’t stand ? *Title edited by GNHQ*

The "reggae" song with these lyrics
"Girl, I'm gonna make you sweat, sweat till you can't sweat no more, and if you cry, I'm gonna push it, push it some more"

It has the lovely rousing chorus "La la la long, ah la la la la long long li long long long"

Can't stand "Tie a Yellow Ribbon" and anything else by Tony Christie.

Also "YMCA" (forget the name of the group).

I agree re Leona Lewis. All that warbling. Same goes for Whitney Houston.

Up the junction and Cool for Cats! I absolutely detest them. I can’t turn the radio off quick enough if either comes on. Also anything by Lily Allen aaaarrrgggh same sort of accent I think.

Fields of Gold by Sting
Agree with John Lennon's Imagine and Woman
I wish it could be Christmas Every Day played ad nauseam in shops, I have to walk out.
Yellow Submarine. My absolute nightmare is the thought of being imprisoned in a care home with the staff playing that and expecting us to sing along.

Bohemian Rhapsody is dire. It was no 1 for weeks and always on the radio in 1976. I moved to Canada and it followed me there!

Although I'm a Rod Stewart fan I really dislike Sailing although I don't know why.

Mack the Knife and Whiter Shade of pale also have me switching off.

Anything by Tina Turner and her dancing leaves alot to be desired.
She dances as if she`s constipated.

JackyB - I actually love Israel Kamikawiwo'ele's version of Somewhere over the Rainbow. It makes me think that it has come close to folk song, when people start singing variations of the words.
Apparently 'Rainbow' is still in copyright and when IK's version became popular (some years after he recorded it) the owners contacted his agent to ask if he could re-record it correctly, and they said 'we'd love to, but he's dead' - so his version continues to be played.
Still loving this thread!

I dislike power ballads but particularly anything sung by Leona Lewis - so miserable!

Imagine and Woman make me cringe and so does You'll Never Walk Alone.

Dislike anything by Paul McCartney - totally overrated (I agree Elton John is overrated too)!

Screechy Beyonce - and Mariah Carey - just awful.

I love Tom Jones, especially now that he doesn't take himself seriously.

I'll have to leave it there or i'll be here all day!

Nights in White Satin by the Moody Blues - please tell me I'm not the only one.
Mack the Knife
Fairytale of New York
The Lady is a Tramp
Frankie by Sister Sledge in the most persistent earworm so it's the Off button whenever I hear the opening bars.

I absolutely hate McArthur Park, it makes me want to scream until it's over.

Ha, this is fun. So many of my loved songs set other people's teeth on edge. But that Umbrella song by Rhianna (was it?) is my all time most hated plus anything at all by screamy Beyonce.

Favourites of all time are Daydream Believer and One Day Like This (Elbow).

Hallelujah- nonsensical lyrics
It’s a Wonderful World - too cheesy
Anything by Adele - too whiney

Some of the ones mentioned are my favourites and others I agree with. That Hawaiian bloke singing Over The Rainbow makes me want to scream - can't he get the words right? He gets them wrong every time. And Bryan Adams "To love a woman"(or something like that) - not sure if it's the corny 3/4 time or the sickly lyrics but it makes me want to puke.

Stand by your Man by Tammy Wynette..I hate the lyrics.
And Lady Marmalade is really unpleasant.

Almost forgot.... cant bear anything sung by Tom Jones

I really like a lot of these songs - weird how we are all so different.
I dislike Lady Marmalade and It's Raining Men. When I used to go to dances and It's Raining Men came on everyone headed for the dance floor. Me I headed for the bar!
I love all Christmas music and come 1 December will be getting all my Christmassy cd's out

Two Little Boys by Rolph Harris........more so since he was convicted!

Elton John has given me the rage ever since his 1975 Wembley Stadium gig which I left early along with 10s of thousands of others .

He did apologise decades later for his arrogant behaviour at that time but he still rattles my cage . In my view Bernie is the talent in the duo .

Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep gets me running to the OFF radio button and always has .

Well, I like lots of these!

Lucca yes I remember the Crispin (Crispian?) St Peter one, I fancied him, had his name scrawled in felt pen, along with other favourites, on the inside lid of my P.E. case, when I was about 14.

Most things by John Lennon, he had such a sneery voice.
Anything by Wings too.
Can’t stand ‘Amazing Grace’ or ‘The Old Rugged Cross’ either, l have threatened to haunt anyone if they are played at my funeral.

'You'll never walk alone'. Total drivel'

Each to their own and all that, but that's just wrong.
It's not exactly Crazy Frog

Grandmafrench

Spot on, Georgesgran. Come on Eileen and I can feel my teeth grinding together! Then there's that appalling screechy noise made by the Jackson 5 to the discordant Crazy Horses! OMG ?
And Paul MacCartney straining to shout "Back in the USSR". And the nauseating "Honey, I miss you (?) - Bobby Goldsboro. And what about René and Renata? ........awful songs are endless.

Crazy Horses was the Osmonds not the Jackson 5. ?

Grandmafrench your mention of 'Back in the USSR' has reminded me of my favourite album title:
Half Man Half Biscuit's 'Back in the DHSS'

Chewbacca I couldn't agree more re Elton John. The most overrated act ever.
His only decent song is 'Philadephia Freedom'.
