what song is the most irritating annoying crapshitbollocks song ever? one that just makes you go 'aaargh'. i was considering the jam's beat surrender, but then i realised my dislike of the song is also contributed to by my dislike of the jam and weller per se.

so i think the worst is actually Rudi a Message To You by The Specials. i have no particular dislike for the specials. i really like ghost town. so my hated for Rudi is pure.

Paul McCartney's "Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time". This song, complete with ANNOYING synth-codrottle intro, and the most insipidly catchy chorus of all time surely holds the crown. And they have to play it EVERY FUCKING YEAR. Oh, it should be banned. ARGH! I've got it stuck in my head again, get it out, get it out, get it out!!!!!

"What's Up", Four Non Blondes

― tarden, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Mosy christmas music does this, refresh yourself by having it fucked over by V/VM.

I have to dispute on Rudi by the specials, even though, in common with all specials covers its not as good as the jamaican 'original', can't rember who did that though.

However for the second time in 30seconds I will nominate Racist friend by the specials, however it is not played very often seeing as it is crap/shit/bollocks.

Puff Daddy Faith evans - missing you makes me cringe with horror, as does most of that R&B that sampled something famous/good and ended up as crapshitbollocks, what was that one that sampled Pachobel's cannon?

Wonderwall although that stems from my hatred of anything that is wingey wingey strummy strummy (travis, coldplay, ocean colour scene the list is unfortunately endless)

― Ed Lynch-Bell, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

kate/ed.

simply having a wonderful christmas time. can only think of the v/vm makeover, and that is very good. if yr going to get any v/vm, that christmas single is the one to get. he really got it right that time

― gareth, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

the Pachalbel cannon one i think was Coolio's C U When I Get There.

worst crapshitbollocks song ever: that Toploader Dancing in the Moonlight song.

Angels

― Nick, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

mind you, Too Much Too Young is annoying too

― gareth, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I can't deal with VVM. Paul always plays that "Lady In Red (is dancing with meat)" song whenever he DJ's and it TRAUMATISES me!!!

― masonic boom, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

lady in red is annoying. there are some good v/vm records, but they're outweighed by too many annoying and mediocre ones, that veer towards 'wacky'...

― gareth, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I like most of the songs that people have mentioned so far (still unheard by me: Toploader).

Worst song ever : Bob Seger (asshole), "Ol' Time Rock'n'Roll". The DJ has been sternly warned not to play this at my wedding.

― Patrick, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The Millennium Prayer by Cliff Richard

― Madchen, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

'ironic' - alanis morissette

― Stevo, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

That alanis song - "one hand in my pocket etc", I forget the title. It seems to be on local radio a lot @ thee moment. It's really horrible, and is my nomination!!!

― "Isserly", Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"Mistletoe & Wine" is even worse than "Millennium Prayer".

― tarden, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Bryan Adams - Let's Make It a Night to Remember There are probably worse songs in the world, but there's something so creepy about this song that it always makes my skin crawl and I feel sick.

― Nicole, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"Karma Chameleon" by Culture Club

I fuckin' LOVE "Too Much Too Young" by the Specials.

― alex in nyc, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

at the moment sing by Travis on Xfm every time at 1.01am in the morning. vile.

― DJ Martian, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"Yellow". Oh, God, "Yellow". That, & anything by Kid Rock. Both banal, both unavoidable (for a brief time), both excremental.

― David Raposa, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"American Pie," in particular if it is heard in a public place because inevitably people will sing along. Also, "Brown-Eyed Girl" and, in to be a bit fish vs. barrel, "Margaritaville."

― scott p., Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I finally heard Starsailor this morning ("Good Soul" - is that the title?) Oh Christ, they're bad! The vocals seem to be a morph of the worst characteristics of Tim Booth and Richard Ashcroft - whining, pompous and self-important. The music - limping drums, white-bread acoustic shuffle. Really, really hatefully useless.

― Dr. C, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

When I first heard Starsailor I just had to say "Oh dude" and walk away, shaking my head.

They make Shed Seven look like godheads!

― Nicole, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

[puts head above parapet] everything by radiohead, I don't know why, but everytime I hear Thom Yorke singing I want to tear my fingers off and superglue them into my ears.

I've probably upset some of you, ho hum, I just don't like it

― cabbage, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Celine Dion - My fart will go on.

― Geoff, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Thong Song. I've been Waiting For A Girl Like You by Foreigner. Babooshka by Kate Bush. Oasis' cover of Heroes.

Come to think of it I fear Radiohead have been secretly listening to Dust In The Wind by Kansas.

Norman: been dipping into the Michel Faber, have we?

― suzy, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

A few months ago cabbage, I would have said don't worry, you've found your spiritual home. But now people like Tom seem to have gone all soft. Traitors.

― Nick, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oasis covered "Heroes", too? Bad enough that the Wallflowers butchered that song. (And butcher they did.)

Also - "November Rain". Elton John ballads sung by a helium-sucking Lemmy do NOT make for quality listening, dolphins or no dolphins.

― David Raposa, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

And come to think of it names do look more elegant and mysterious with an extra 'h' in them.

― Tom, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

SuZY SeZ:

Norman: been dipping into the Michel Faber, have we?

Yes. I got "Under The Skin" last night, & read it in one go. Just abt the strangest thing I've ever read....

― Norman Fay, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Another vote for Alanis' "One Hand in My Pocket". Joan Osbourne's "One of Us". Dead Eye Dick's "New Age Girl" (Is that what it was called?). Spin Doctors' "Two Princes". R.E.M.'s "Losing My Religion". Sheryl Crow's "If It Makes You Happy".

― Joe, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh, come on, Cabbage, Thom Yorke is dead sexy!!!!!

― masonic boom, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Robbie Williams's "Angels". "Brown Sugar" by the Rolling Stones. R.E.M.'s "Daysleeper". Ocean Colour Scene's "The Day We Caught The Train". Travis's "Turn". "Waterfront" by Simple Minds.

My most vicious "What the fuck *is* this shit" response, however, was hearing Runrig's "Things That Are" on the Top 40 show in 1995. However, since I've never heard it before or since, I don't really think I can include it here.

― Robin Carmody, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"Bitch" by Meredith Brooks - AAAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH - for one thing, anybody called 'Meredith' should go to Altamont, and aggravate some bikers.

― tarden, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

wot, even Meredith Monk?

― Andrew L, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I can totally understand why Thom Yorke's voice would grate on some. In fact, his voice has a ton of qualities which, under normal circumstances, would send me running for the hills. In his particular case, however, I groove.

Someone whose voice I do _NOT_ groove on is Damon Albarn. I believe that if I hear "Clint Eastwood" one more time, I will go zombie-apeshit.

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

And come to think of it names do look more elegant and mysterious with an extra 'h' in them.

Oh no they don't. People have been trying to add an H to my name for 20 years for no good reason. Poking your eye with a stick to look like Thom is still more aesthetically pleasing that throwing H's around gratuitously.

― Nic"h"ole, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Why, whatever are you lot talking about? Extraneous extra letters are the way to go. And much as you all laugh at Thom Yorke's lovely and incredibly attractive appearance, you do have to admit that his voice is possibly the eighth wonder of the world.

I really think I'm going insane here. Help me.

― mhasonic boome, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Well, Tarden beat me to it with "What's Going On" and "Bitch". . Along the same lines, though, I'd like to add Edie Brickell's "What I Am".

― Arthur, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh, I mean, "What's Up", not "What's Going On". Actually, that reminds me of Spandau Ballet's "True"--"listening to Marvin all night long." So let's add "True" to the list.

― Arthur, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Does it work with my name, Tom and Kate?

― Nichholas, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You knowe, you're alle beinge a little sillye withe this extra 'H' thinge.

― Dan Perrye, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Why certainly, Mr. Dhastoor.

― Tomh, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Extraneous extra letters are extremely fetching and add that vaguely medieval aura of poshness!

Do you know that when I made up my stage name, I took care to take the spelling variant with the *most* amount of extra vowels. I could just have easily been St.Clair or St.Clare, but St.Claire was just the most offensively double barrelled and extraneously vowelled spelling I could think of. :-)

― mhasonic boome, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

SOhO whene Iye ahdde ehxtrra letteres to wohrdes, Iye looke arrtye instheade ohf druncke?

― Nihckohlle, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The current number one on my non-hit list is I Monster - Daydream in Blue, because I had high hopes when I was downloading it (I'd heard a decent b-side by them, and a couple of people recommended it in passing, or maybe I just wasn't listing to them properly). Disappointment. Not the same as the hatred i have for 'that-grunge- track-from-the-levis-advert-in-mid-90s-by-a-scottish-band', Silkskin? or Offspring.

― K-reg, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

That weepy, self-important, pious shit by R. Kelly - "I Wish". Mourning his mom and his dead homey w/huge white Mercedes, tons of diamonds, Moet poured out on video set. Ugly. I would have hated it w/o the visuals, but they just confirm R's bad faith and self-aggrandizement.

― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Twas Stitskinne, methinks.

― Richard Tunnicliffe, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Shawn Mullins, "Lullaby". Worst song about LA *ever*.

― Arthur, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

'refugee' by tom fucking petty gets my vote. features the most ill- conceived chorus of all time: "you don't have to like a refugeeeee"

what? who doesn't have to live like a refugee? well, tom doesn't, since he's made berzillions hocking his tired hippy nostalgia. too bad the world's poor weren't so fortunate.

and the way he barks out each word of the chorus...nggllllk.

What could be worse than "Refugee" by Tom Petty?
