Subject: What song do you dislike with a passion?

Written By: FussBudgetVanPelt on 09/04/04 at 7:43 am

And I believe that this puts me in a minority...


I really DESPISE "Me And Bobby McGee" by Janis Joplin.   Hate it, hate it, can't stand it, ya know?  :(

I hate the way she drawwwwwls out and sluuurrrrrs the words "Bobby McGee".  I just want to throttle her when I hear it (albeit it would be a bit too late now to do any good  :o ;))


The paradox is that I really like "Piece Of My Heart" by the same singer  :o


What are yours, and why ?

I like both of those but 'Piece Of My Heart' is an all-time favourite. :D

Hmmm......to choose just one song that I dislike, that's difficult. Okay, the one that I absolutely despise  with a passion would be 'Walking On Sunshine'. :o :P

Special mention to...

Lady In Red
Neverending Story
Let's Hear It For The Boys

That's it....for now... ;D

But why Mooey ?

I perfectly agree with "Lady In Red" & "Neverending Story", but I am keen to know what you dislike about them.  In my expereience it has been the province of guys to dislike "Lady in Red" particularly.  Why you ?  :)

Both of the aforementioned songs are quite simply, boring  IMO. The first time I heard Limahl's song, it seemed to go on forever and I've since dubbed it, 'The Neverending Song'  :o

As for 'Lady In Red' I can think of tons of much  better romantic type tunes. :)

'Walking On Sunshine' and 'Let's Hear It For The Boys' just make me want to retch  :P

Howzat Fussy ? :D

Gollum's Song.... it reminds me of someone I know who's very rodentlike and extremely dark inside and very twisted, even though it's not about the lyrics, it's about the singer's voice and the general atmosphere the song creates....

Chalk another one up for 'Lady In Red' - why?
Just an insipid tune with a lame vocal (wince with pain as CdB tries to hit the high notes...)

Special mention to the uber-moronic 'Hey Baby' by DJ Otzi...if no-one's heard this, count yourself lucky...!! If you have - then no explanation neccessary...

Genre-wise...
Almost anything by Whitney and her vocal clone Mariah...

And anything passing itself off as 'cutting edge' British dance music...I've heard better sounds coming out of the cat...!!

Well my mind can't seem to call up all of the songs on my 'awful list' right now, but I do know this one for sure...

"Two Of Hearts" by Stacey Q.

I don't like the whole arrangement of the song and I especially despise how she keeps stuttering...."I-I-I-I-I-I need, I need you."  ::)


I'm sure I'll be back later to post more.

Jaytee, I will agree with you regarding the lame lyrics part, but for this song it's the lovely music that first grabbed me.  Sometimes song lyrics can be irrelevant to me if I like the music enough.  :)

The original George Benson version ('77), I always thought was worth listening to, which means, when I hear it on the car radio I don't feel the need to change the station.

Unfortunately here, for reasons which always escaped me, it was quite popular.  ::)

That tended then to overshadow their much better earlier stuff like "Cover of the rolling stone" and "Sylvia's mother"

Yeah, it was bad!  They really should have quit while they were ahead.

BTW, my favorite from them is 1979's "Sharing The Night Together".  Lovely song!  :)

Note:  That 'Blue Jeans' song charted at #25 over here...but I'd never even known about it until your mention of it.

Wouldn't say it's terrible, but certainly lacks the punch of the single version...


it sounds like a bad campfire singalong.  With a message that makes me want to vomit.  At least the single version (which I beleive is in a minor key...music majors, help me here, Im shaky with that stuff) was much better, and the cheerleading covered up the awkward transitions. 

Probably one of the worst songs Brian Wilson ever penned.  At least his Phil Spector-esk production on the single covered it up well.....

"Barbie Girl" by Aqua!

Worst song ever recorded!  Stupid lyrics, sick message (OK, the world's most popular doll wants to be your sex toy?), annoying electronic synth-pop arrangment, the singer sounds like she's on helium, and lord knows how irritating that borderline-bass male chorus of "Come on Barbie, Let's go party!" was.

The song nearly made me physically ill back in my pop-music-fan days, and defintely made me change the station every time it was on...and trust me, when my local morning show spoofed it as "Bimbo Girl", I never laughed harder!

Thank God Aqua disappeared shortly after Mattel sued them.

I always thought it was interesting/humorous...

Lonely Boy - Andrew Gold (1977)

He was born on a summer day, 1951
And with a slap of a hand
He had landed as an only son

His mother and father
Said, what a lovely boy
We`ll teach him what we learned
Ah yes, just what we learned

We`ll dress him up warmly
And we`ll send him to school
It`ll teach him how to fight
To be nobody`s fool

Oh, oh what a lonely boy
Oh, what a lonely boy
Oh, what a lonely boy

In the summer of `53
His mother brought him a sister
And she told him
We must attend to her needs
She`s so much younger than you

Well, he ran down the hall and he cried
Oh, how could his parents have lied
When they said he was an only son
He thought he was the only one

Oh, oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy

Goodbye mama, goodbye to you
Goodbye papa, I`m pushing on through

He left home on a winter day, 1969
And he hoped to find all the love
He had lost in that earlier time

Well, his sister grew up
And she married a man
He gave her a son
Oh yes, a lovely son

They dressed him up warmly
They sent him to school
It taught him how to fight
To be nobody`s fool

Oh, oh what a lonely boy
Oh, what a lonely boy
Oh, what a lonely boy

Oh, woah woah
What a lonely boy
Oh, what a lonely boy
Oh, what a lonely boy

"How Do You Do It" by Gerry and The Pacemakers

Heh! The boys were in no position to refuse (they'd only been in the recording studio a couple of weeks...), and they duly recorded a rough (the operative word) demo of the thing on 4th September 1962 - this same session gave 'Love Me Do' (the umpteenth run-through and final version) to the world...

George Martin's original plan was to have 'How Do You Do It' as the A-side with 'Love Me Do' on the back, but The Beatles turned in such a woeful performance that it wasn't deemed worthy of release, until...

...the 1995 'Anthology 1' CD - which may be historically fascinating, but the version is still as woeful as ever...

I didn't think Gerry's version was that bad actually...suited the times...!

I am with the 'Ring my bell' - Anita Ward/'How do you do it' - Gerry and the Pacemakers people.

Here are a couple of songs that give me the same expression as listening to fingers scratching across a blackboard . . .

'I need you' - B.V.S.M.P
Almost anything by Freddy and The Dreamers (specifically 'If you gotta make a fool of somebody' and 'I'm telling you now')
'Loving you' - Minnie Ripperton
'Honey' - Bobby Goldsboro (mine and Mandamoo's 'favourite')
'Hey Paula' - Paul and Paula

Not too sure I dislike 'Lonely boy' by Andrew Gold. I love the chords.

"Sweet Pee," by Tommy Roe. It has that same screeching organ...but through the WHOLE D*MN SONG!!!

I don't know who sings it, but there's this early 60's song called "Goodbye Cruel World" about a guy who lost his true love and is going to run off and join the circus. The chorus has an extremely annoying circus organ. One of the stupidest songs ever.

For the last year and a half, every time I've worked, usually twice during my Sunday shift,  this horrid, wretched, awful song plays on the P.A.  I've never heard it anywhere but over the crappy  P.A. speakers at work and I didn't recognise the vocalist.  I hate this song so much that the first couple of notes elicit an automated cringe response from me and fill me with an overwhelming sense of dread and being trapped.  (There is no escaping the P.A., at work -- even when I work in the meatroom, where the noise levels are deafening and speaker has about 30 styrofoam trays duct taped to it to try to muffle it, the P.A. blares loudly above it all... and they're not exactly the latest in high end audio equipment... it's as much a crime to play good music over them.) 

When you hate a song so much that you're conciously aware you hate it, you want to be able to mention it when the topic of hated songs comes up.  So, I went looking for it the last time this thread was bumped up to the first page.  Unfortunately, I was hindered in my search for the title/artist info by my own efforts to block the song from my mind as it plays and knowing I'd most likely misheard what I believed was probably the title line. 

"It's Shatter Lane" is what it sounded like to me -- as expected, zero matches.  I punched in everything I could think of that I might possibly mishear as that and still came up empty.  When it played, today, I braced myself and stopped trying to block it for a few seconds to see if I could catch any mid-song lyrics. 

"When your eyes meet mine"  something something "Just a kiss" something something "clouds" something something "sunshine" was all I got.  I punched that in when I got home from work and voila. The song I have hated with a deep and abiding passion for the last year and a half is:

"Miss Chaterlaine" by K.D. Lang

Well, I liked her Constant Craving song.

And...

"There is no escaping the P.A., at work -- even when I work in the meatroom..."

What's really funny is K.D. Lang is a vegetarian and at one time said that vegetarians should always try and make non-vegetarians sick of eating meat so they'll eventually stop. I personally never cared for people who think and act like that so I never cared to hear her again.

So, what you're saying is that when the thought has crossed my mind that the vocalist is a witch who's purposely torturing me with that song, I was right and it wasn't just the P.A. driving me mad?  ;)  (Seriously, you're right, that is funny!)
