Songs You Love To Hate

OK, here's the idea:
name a song per post that you intensely hate, whilst there is, on the surface, no ground for doing so. In fact the performance may be OK, and your proper attitude could be: 'indifferent'. But you hate it. Make a very brief comment. And if you see someone else damning such a song that you actually like, try to refute him or her, again, very briefly. Use quotation for proper understanding. Here's my start, I heard on the BBC TV this morning:
'Down Under' by Men At Work.
Technically OK, nice flutes swirling, catchy tune. And I HATE it, for all of its insignificance to me...

Barbie Girl is the worst trash I ever heard, also the entire Yoko Ono catalog.

Always thought that Barbie Girl was actually quite funny when it first came out in 1999 (or whenever it was) and to my ears there's much worse despicable crap on the charts today (e.g. Coldplay, Mando Diao, you name it).

Maybe I should explain. I worked at a night club selling cigars and the disc jockey played it 4-5 times a night. Just every play got more and more grating. If I heard it once or not at all (which is more likely considering I don't listen to much past the 70's) I probably wouldn't think twice about it.

I see. So I hope they didn't play too much Yoko at that particular club as soon as Barbie Girl wasn't on the turntable.
Remember, she did quite a few songs one might like to dance to... or not.
Here's my own contribution:
R.E.M. - Everybody Hurts
Might be the downright lamest thing ever put to tape. Forget about Achy Breaky Heart, this is the one song that really should top any Worst Song Ever list as far as I'm concerned (and as long as Kenny G doesn't count in terms of "song").

Great memories of jumping on my best friends bed listening to 'Down Under' at eleven years old.
I'm gonna go with 'Simply the Best.'

I think my favorite song to hate is one of two by Alanis Morissette (Not my least favorite songs, mind you, but those I really, really just enjoy hating.), either "Ironic" or "Thank U." The former just pisses me off. Always did. Always will. I was in college when it came out and that album led to a kind of college-girls' pride that seemed really weird to me, overly and unnecessarily confrontational vibe. As for why that song as opposed to the others (which I also hated), probably that it has has more to do with coincidence than irony. Regarding the latter song, it was the most laughably pretentious thing I ever heard that I couldn't stop laughing when I first heard it. Ooooh, multisyllabic words! "Dear Terrence, you rocked my world" cracked me up then and does now. f*** you, Alanis. You suck. I hate you, and it's my pleasure to do so. (But I did love "You Can't Do That On Television." I'd watch an episode of that right now.)

'I Will Always Love You' - Whitney.
(over the top, no distribution of emotion, machine-like, technically faultless, and crap).

Oh yeah, I'll agree with you on that one! Don't agree with you on "Down Under" though (maybe that's understandable coming from an Aussie?)

I'll agree with you on both of these... as for Yoko Ono is there anything worse than the Plastic Ono Band track "Don't Worry Kyoko"?

and the cockiness of the lyrics......just serves to further piss me off.....some swaggering nautical cocksman!

Kanye West- Gold Digger.
Forced to listen to this about 27 times a day on B.E.T. during my little stint in the Klink. My cousin played this at her wedding and my date wanted to dance to this tune. I
reaaalllly
hate this song.

Thankfully no Yoko at the club and that R.E.M. song is bad.
mikeyj the only thing worse then Don't Worry Kyoko is Cambrige 69 or John John Let's Hope For Peace!

Don't Worry Kyoko is cool. Isn't that the one that has the Wake Up Little Susie chord progression?

The riff is good but I just wish I could wipe her voice off of it.

Haha yeah that's the problem... who gives a crap even if it was God Only Knows underneath it, it's totally ruined by Yoko's voice

Being a Lennon fan I find a lot of the music he and others (like Clapton, Starr, Vorman etc) played beneth her was actually quite good. I still rank those as some of the worst records I ever heard though because I truly hate her voice. I mean I used to cry as a child when I heard it. Whenever she screams my stomache still jumps.

Charlene Tilton: 'I've Never Been To Me'.
Pseudo-introspective psychological BS if there ever was. She must've been looking for the Real Me That She Used To Be, a.k.a. her Inner Child.

Led Zeppelin's "Hats Off To (Roy) Harper." Only for the fact that "Hey, Hey, What Can I Do?" was left off the album instead.

'Back In Black' - AC/DC
Kind of catchy...but as with most of their stuff, the vocals ruin it for me. Just can't listen to it without cringing. It's like fingernails on a chalk board to my ears.

Right you are. I hate the song and the singer.... I don't like Bono.
Onece again, Bono sucks. Pretentious, attention seeking, self-agrandizing show off. And why Baw no? Why not Boe no like the late great Sonny Boe no? What is with these single names? I mean, if you're going to have a single name like Cher, then why not go ahead and call yourself Boe no?
And who is this phucker named "the Edge"? Does he sign his checks that way? Does his mother call him "the edge"?
How bout his girlfriend in the midst of making love? Does she shout out "Ohhhhhh! "the edge" , " the edge"!!!!!!!
And does he respond saying to her "say my name! say my name!"
And she says "I called you the edge! And he says , "oh I thought you meant......."
I wonder how he decided on "the edge". I mean, why not "the corner" or maybe "the center"? (this would work equally well in bed)
Oh. I forgot the thread was about SONGS we love to hate.
Did I ever mention I havte "Brandy"?
