    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.

    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”.

      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.

    Whatever the title of “This girl is on fire” is.

    Pretty sure it’s supposed to be empowering or something but all I hear is ThIs guRl iZ oN FiiIiiRrrrrrRrreee!!! two hundred times in a row.

    Like okay she’s on fire. Got it. Get damn fire extinguisher or something and SHUT UP.

    Honorary shout out to the 80℅ of songs on the radio thst are about relationships. You know there’s more topics that exist? Does it ALWAYS have to be about relationships?

    And Christmas songs on eternal repeat starting before Halloween. Thanks, radio. I hate Christmas songs now. Not because they suck, but because you suck gor playing them over and over FOR HALF THE YEAR.

      I shit you not, that entire song is just Alicia Keys finding different ways to say “this girl is on fire”. She’s just a girl and she’s aflame, etc. There’s nothing of substance to be found.

    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.

    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.

    Wonderful Christmastime by Paul McCartney. He is one of the greatest songwriters of the modern age, and my hot take is that only someone as good as him could write a song so bad.

    But it should be a war crime.

      Post-breakup Beatles songs revealed their entire dynamic. George Harrison immediately drops All Things Must Pass and it is three whole albums of solid gold. John Lennon cranks out a few mildly trite pop songs (including a much better Christmas song than that) before his untimely death. Ringo takes the money and basically retires to a private life of happiness and joy.

      But Paul McCartney, legendary singer-songwriter, and no stranger to experimentation or collaboration, begins a long and varied follow-up career of absolute crap. I don’t understand how someone so demonstrably knowledgeable and talented achieves such consistent mediocrity, but in the absence of an equally egotistical genius to tell him off (and a polite wizard to feel challenged by) he was just useless. Wings goes on for a decade and produces maybe half a dozen decent songs, one of which is this Tame Impala anomaly nobody remembers.

    Radio Gaga by Queen.

    I imagine being forced to listen to anything on a loop for an entire week would have the same effect. (worked on a cruise ship that was in the final stages of construction and to test the PA system, they played that song. On loop. For an entire 7 days.)

    Happy by Pharrell. Nearly drove a nail through both my eardrums back in 2014. People still eat their shit over this dumbass song.

      Scatman John did a WAYYYYY better virtual duet with Louis Armstrong years earlier. It’s a nice catchy song about the history of Jazz and Louis’ influence on the genre.

      This sounds like an attempt at Jeff Mangum style vocals. It could be good… but misses the mark. I wouldn’t call it the worst though. It’s definitely has the indie vibe of other music I enjoy.

        i don’t like harpsichords, but i could forgive that and even enjoy the rest of the album if it weren’t for her singing style. its something about the baby-talk voice, i hate it. i don’t even know why i hate it, but it grates. some songs i hate and laugh, complain, joke about.

        this one ill just leave the room, i cannot abide it. i got a little mad just listening to it for a moment when i linked it lol

      Her lyrics are great, she should write novels or something. Shame it took me a lifetime of knowing women to understand most of the meaning.
      While reading them, though, I had to listen to “Blitzkrieg Bop” on repeat, because I cannot stand her voice. -_-

      I actually really liked it. It sounds imperfect in a lot of ways, which I love in music. It sounds like a real person singing, who maybe wasn’t meant to be a singer, but who is singing anyway.
