    For me, it’s “Jessie’s Girl”. The things we learn about this girl are: She has eyes, she has a body, at some times she talks cute with Jessie, she loves Jessie. Then the question, “Where can I find a woman like that?”

    The contrast between the exceedingly generic description, and the exasperation (as if no other girl would suffice) annoys me every time I hear the lyrics. This is then multiplied by the fact that the song is catchy.

    I cannot stand Hallelujah.

    Everybody uses it as an emotional song for their emotional wedding slideshow, literally why???
    If you look up the meaning, you’ll see the song isn’t really praising the Lord or whatever these people want, it’s like they just heard “Hallelujah” and ignored everything else.

    So now you have the bride and groom’s smiling pictures scrolling by while the dude is rambling about “She tied you to a kitchen chair, She broke your throne and she cut your hair”, WTF??? How come no one ever found this awkward???
    Yeah I get it, Samson and Delilah, not really a good match for a wedding!

    And it’s overused to shit. Whatever deep meaning this song has, I cannot stand to hear it for the umpteenth time.
    Especially not the music composing ramble of the opening verse.
    Shut the fuck up about the the minor fall and the major lift.
    Please use literally anything else for your photo montage I beg you.

    The fact that this was posted 7 hours ago and nobody has said “All I want for Christmas is you” by Mariah Carey warrants an entire episode of Unexplained Mysteries imo.

    My Humps by the Black Eyes Peas.

    It’s one thing for a song to be bad, and this one was, but there was a period of what felt like months when I had to hear this at least twice a day because it would always be on the radio when I was on the coach to and from college.

    Awful, awful, song.

    Radioactive.

    It had a novel, ear-grabbing sound at the time, but got overplayed to the point where it now just grates on my nerves.

    Also: most American wedding reception traditions like The Electric Slide and The Chicken Dance. Do better. I once went to a reception where everyone did The Time Warp and it was amazing.

    I absolutely loathe No Scrubs by TLC.

    spoiler

    The lyrics are trashy and only convey judgement. Taken from the song: if you don’t own your own car, own home, or don’t dress like a prince, you’re not worth it. The whole song is shitty IMHO (except for the beat/sound). The one line about not treating your partner right is sensible but the rest of the song doesn’t match with any of that vibe. They’re just conveying judgement. I already know I’m a loser in most people’s eyes but hearing this song on the radio just miffs me.

    That shitty version of I’m Blue that has the laziest lyrics ever written with a singer that has an obnoxious nasally voice. “I’m good, yeah I’m feeling alright, this is gonna be the best freaking night of my life” sounds like the first lyrics she came up with when she woke up that morning. That nasally “na na na na na” at the end also grinds my gears. So glad that song isn’t being played on the radio anymore, I’d much rather listen to the original I’m Blue Da Ba Dee for an hour straight than listen to this version even once.

    Fun fact! I was literally tortured (yes, actually for real) by Collective Soul so anytime I hear one of their two “hit” songs I get flung into PTSD flashbacks. I have to cover my ears and basically sink to the floor or immediately leave the area if that’s possible.

    Suffice to say I hate them.

    Also I was a retail slave for over a decade and hate all Christmas music. Super mega hate.

    Edit: abused by the music, not the band. Sorry I didn’t mean to be misleading.

    I don’t know what it’s actually called, but I call it “The Mexican Beeping Song”. It was on the playlist at a Mexican restaurant once, and I offered the server $50 he could turn it down/ off /change the station / anything to make it stop. He looked at me with a pained expression and just said “I would do it for free if I could, I hate this too”.

        Wow that’s terrible. “Yes I’d like to listen to an alarm clock with backing drums and vocals”.

        Oh god what fucking game was this in? The second that started I had flashbacks to a video game I can’t put the name to.

      You’re thinking of El Sonidito by the Hechizeros Band. The whole song is basically just a dude yelling “UNO DOS TRES CUATRO!” while mashing a single key on a keyboard over and over. That song was on one of the radio stations in Grand Theft Auto 5, and I remember almost every NPC car seemed to always be playing that song and it always drove me nuts having to hear it all the time.
