Marvin Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 With working from home since March (and hospitalisation) I have been listening to Radio 6. However at least 3 or 4 times in my working day I've noticed they insist on playing Televised Mind by Fontaine DC. I've heard it that often, I now switch off when it is played. Hate it even, it's not even that good a song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Салатные палочки Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I quite like Fontaines DC. Anyway. I have two that really get me quite angry when they come on the radio. First one is Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars. The most over-produced beige shite ever released. Second one is Blurred Lines by old man Robin Thicke. Utter, utter shite. I mean look at the lyrics. Good girl I know you want it I know you want it I know you want it You're a good girl Can't let it get past me You're far from plastic Talk about getting blasted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iantjambo Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Kaiser Chiefs - Ruby. When the song first came out, a woman in the local pub would put it on the juke box constantly. I think you got 5 songs for a pound and there were times where she would put it on 2 or 3 times. Cher Lloyd - Swagger Jagger Brutal song that simply gives me the rage as soon as I hear it.

Geddyalexneil Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I do remember we used to sing a version of "Seasons in the sun" at one time. Something along the lines of "we had joy we had fun fun, we had hibees on the run, the fun didn't last cause the bast##ds ran too fast". Not a song I liked much but I did sing our version whenever it kicked in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mumbling, boring shite. His voice disappears at the end of each line so you can barely here what he is singing, as if he is too overcome with emotion.

There're so many I could be posting all day, but some particular low-lights for me are: Bohemian Rhapsody: overblown, overbearing, over-produced, aural-indigestion-inducing, unlistenable, shite. The only good thing about it is that a reaction against it helped bring punk about. MacArthur Park: Richard Harris should've stuck to being a great actor. Deeply annoying song, with deeply irritating lyrics. Hated it from the very first time I heard it. I don't know what Jimmy Webb was on at the time, or what was going through his head, as he was / is otherwise a fantastic songwriter. Send In The Clowns: Deeply annoying song, with deeply irritating lyrics. ("Send in the clowns...don't bother they're here...") Well why bother writing the feckin' song then, ya 6@5+@<9!!!!!

Hate it even, it's not even that good a song. I quite like that song in comparison to their earlier stuff, which was just typical Steve Lamacq approved Indie. My most hated song of all time is Dancing In The Moonlight by Toploader but then that is just clearly sh1te. American Pie by Don McLean also grinds my gears, possibly from having mates who played it loads when I was younger and it being seen as an accepted classic, when it's just an irritating extended piece of absolute w*nk. Also, the Grease mega mix as a nadir of school discos (even worse than Black Lace). I don't completely hate this as they're my favourite band but Jetstream by New Order is awful, was embarrassing watching them hawk that around TV shows as a single and I still find it pretty much unlistenable.
