Wild World, by Cat Stevens. Some of the most patronizing lyrics I've ever heard. https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/catstevens/wildworld.html

"Last Christmas", any version

There are two songs that I will verbally abuse a movie for having on its soundtrack.

"What A Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong, and "Fly Me To The Moon" by Frank Sinatra.

If you put those songs in...anything, you're a fucking hack.

WAWW has been used both straight and ironically TO DEATH. It has been played over beautiful and horrific scenes. There's nothing you can use it to say that hasn't already been said by someone more clever than you.

FMTTM is the song completely uncreative people put in movies that have something to do with the moon. "We have an establishing shot of the moon and we need some licensed music for the soundtrack. Gee, now what's the hackiest laziest most cliched pissbabyest lack of a brain stemiest thing we could put here?" "You're not going to believe this, but I found a Sinatra song that might just be a lazy enough choice. It's already been used in all the other movies, is that lazy enough?"

Pour Some Sugar On Me. It's so terrible.

Might be "Bohemian Rhapsody", or "We will Rock You". Which is odd, because Killer Queen is one of my favorite songs. Same artists can make crap or magic.

And "Horse With No Name", because of the godawful pretentious stupid lyrics.

Any of the 6 million versions of Hallelujah except the original Leonard Cohen and Jeff Buckley.

I swear wannabe pop singers see it as some sort of rite of passage but they universally murder it either by trying to replicate on of those two and coming up painfully short or embellishing it with flourishes and superfluous variations.

It doesn't make you look deep and thoughtful it just highlights what an average singer you are.

Wagon Wheel

Any modern country song. bonus if they say boots, beer, etc.

Take me to church by Hozier

That girl is on fiiirraaaaafrrrrhhaaarraaa

(Did someone just shoot a cat?)

Black Hole Sun.

It's a tedious, grating and ridiculously repetitive dirge.

Don't you want me baby. Bananaphone. Feelings. But actually Don't you want me baby is the only one that doesn't stick in my head.

Sweet Home Alabama

When I still listened to the radio in the car, it started on one station, so I switched to another rock station. It was playing there too, on a different part. Switched to yet another rock station and it was also playing that terrible song!

Zombie by The Cranberries. I just can't stand it.

Anything by Drake.

Never be the same by Camila Cabello. Fucking annoying overplayed ass music.

Tie between that Uncle Kracker song and this one country rock song that I dont know the name or artist of. Starts off with a gut saying "jingle jingaling" or something.

I don't just change the station if these come on. Radio just goes off, no more music that day.

Shake it Off by Taylor Swift.

When it came out, I was a regular gym-goer. I would spend an hour and a half at the gym three days a week and hear that song at least three times every single time I was there. And then you'd hear it anywhere else that played music as well, like stores. It was just too much.

Baby Shark, do doo do doot do doo.

Gonna go against the grain here with something classical: Pachabel’s Canon in D. I liked it when I was a kid, for at least the first 10 or 20 times I heard it, but since then I’ve probably heard it thousands of times, and I’m not even a strings player. I’m not exaggerating either; it’s in so many commercials, weddings, movies, just over loudspeakers in the grocery store.. ugh it’s inescapable. Pretty the first few times, sure, but it’s so aggressively bland.

U2

Aerosmith - love in an elevator

Any christmas shit

I Will Survive - Something about this song just makes me murderous.

Don't Stop Believing - By the gods, please do stop. I love Journey, but just don't play this.

Bohemian Rhapsody - I think I'm just really tired of it. It's been held up at such a pinnacle for so long and played far too often and I just can't anymore. I don't care. Turn it off.

There are some interesting takes in here.

Radio Ga Ga by Queen.

I had to listen to that shit played on loop for a week straight when the cruise ship I was working on chose it to be used to constantly stress test the PA system. Any time I hear it now, I get extremely angry and want to break something.

It's weird how many people are mentioning older songs, because most modern songs are absolute trash. Just a refrain, singing the same 3 autotuned notes again and again.

Sweet Caroline - Neil Diamond. I’m from New England so I hear it often and the back story makes me cringe every time and I haaate it

All About That Bass by Meghan Trainor. It is the only song I seriously hate, and also the only artist I seriously hate hearing. I don't love the message, and Ialso don't like the delivery at all. I think a factor is also how overplayed it was when it first came out.

Whatever coldplay song is on the radio
