What song irritates you the most?

Put the lime in the coconut and drink it all up...

 

Magic. Bus.

 

Bennie & The Jets.

 

90% of live performances I see on the Grammys.

 

Another vote for Hey Jude. I can't listen to it- it just seems endless.

 

Blur . . . "woo hoo!"

 

Off the top of my head it would be I love Rock N Roll by Joan Jett.

 

No scratch that. Make it "Everybody Dance Now"

 

That's the one!

 

Gotta disagree about the sax solo in "Diana".
"Give Me Love" by Rosie & the Originals may claim the prize for having both the worst sax solo and worst guitar solo on the same song. Yet, in its warped little way, is still brilliant.

 

It's an old, long thread, so i've probably mentioned most of these already:

I Love Rock & Roll - Joan Jett & The Blackhearts
Old Time Rock & Roll - Bob Seger
Kids Wanna Rock - Bryan Adams
Eye Of the Tiger - Survivor
Bad To The Bone - George Thorogood & The Destroyers
What I LIke About You - The Romantics (we've already established that this is a 70s song, but it screams 80s to me)

Anyway, these songs are among the worst of the 80s rock for me. There are certainly many more that I just can't think of right now. And, it's kind of mellowed on me, but I still never cared for "You Make My Dreams Come True" by Hall & Oates.

 

'Pontoon' by Little Big Town. Such a boring song, about a boring pasttime, lame lyrics, overplayed at the local bowling alley...ick.

 

Love love me do you know I love you
Yellow Submarine
Obla Di Obla Da
Monkberry Moon Delight
Mrs. Wonderbilt

 

Disco Duck! By far.

Runner up: Before the next teardrop falls - Freddy Fender

 

Torn Between Two Lovers, I've Never Been To Me and probably hundreds more.

 

Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah
Johnny Cash - Hurt

 

Suzanne. Anyone's version. Enough of the perfect body and feathers and Chinese oranges already.

 

Only women bleed - I have actually broken the sound barrier going for the off switch.

 

Just about anything Beatles. I like their post-Beatles stuff but that band was insipid.

 

I remembered two more

Cat's in the Cradle - Harry Chapin
Argh! This song is so sappy! If I hear "little boy blue and the man in the moon" again I'll scream.

Beth - Kiss
I was never into Kiss, but lately I've been hearing this song on some commercial, and it makes me want to puke.

 

Frankie and Johnny.

The way the melody line goes up and down in the first two lines (Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts ...etc ) is just annoying and unsatisfying to me ....on pretty much every version I've heard.

Maybe totally irrational on my part but as you asked ....

 

Check out Sammy Davis doing it! Rivals his other winner Candy Man!

 

Cotton eyed Joe

It blows!!!

 

I recently picked up BST on CD for 50 cents, remembering that the LP was well regarded for its sound and production. Wow, really annoying from start to... well, I couldn't even finish it. The few hits couldn't save it and the rest? Pretentious. The LP is ok for a sound demo.

 

Anything by Adele. There I said it. Feels good to get that off my chest. And if my wife is reading this, sorry hun, didn't mean to offend you.
