Popular songs you have abhorred

[Pryderi]

Achy Breaky Heart
Disco Duck

[DS1]

1. Love Shack

[TheBaldyMan]

11. how dare you decry the B-52s

they are one of the all-time greatest bands ever.

[DS1]

12. You, Sir, are sorely misguided

[TheBaldyMan]

14. May a Rock Lobster snip off your bits next time you go swimming

[DS1]

15. Wait...

Rock Lobster was a real song? I thought it was just made up by Family Guy as it was so incredibly stupid

[TheBaldyMan]

17. here come's the narwhal ....

short bio from BBC Radio 2's website

B-52's were rocking when you were still a gleam in you daddie's eye

They were also fantastic live.

[DS1]

31. I'm older than that, and the B52s are still beach music, much like Coors

Light is beach beer - piss

[TheBaldyMan]

34. Beach music - like Link Wray, Dick Dale or the Butthole Surfers

what's there not to like?

[CanuckAmok]

44. OOOOO, the Beeb is wrong for once!

Fred Schenider's solo album (I forget what it was called... "Shake" something, or something "Shake") was actually recorded in the early 80s, after Wild Planet. It didn't do very well (despite the underground semi-hit "Monster"), and was deleted from WEA's catalogue. It was re-released as a "new solo album" after the success of Cosmic Thing.

[Deja Q]

33. Family Guy is stupid...

Superficial... Esoteric... Arcane.

B52s are original.

Not everybody likes the B52s, but they dare to be individuals. Especially as they, for a "new wave" band, sure as heck don't sound new wave. :D

Family Guy preys on everything else to be funny. That's not original.

[DS1]

50. Sometimes people just being inviduals means people just sucking.

Family Guy isn't what it used to be, and I'm okay with that, but Family Guy is irrelevant to how much the B52s suck.

[smitty]

39. Love Shack just sucked. Nothing more, nothing less. It sucked

[Left Is Write]

56. I like the B52s - and I hate Love Shack too.

[Deja Q]

32. Nooooooooooooooooo!

:cry:

[Fox Mulder]

2. About 1/2 of them.

[ghostsofgiants]

7. Half, that's it?

[Fox Mulder]

8. I guess 1/2 is a very conservative estimate...

Probably more like 90%.

:shrug:

[ghostsofgiants]

9. Yeah, see that makes much more sense.

[Midlodemocrat]

3. Jesus take the wheel.

My daughter loves it and sings it all the time. It makes we want to scream, I think it is so bad.

[begin_within]

43. But have you heard Kellie Pickler's "Jesus, Take the Keyboard?"

[bullwinkle428]

61. Waiting for Pickler's "Jesus, take my voice, please!!"

[miss_american_pie]

4. My Humps

But I don't think "abhor" is a strong enough word for how I feel about that song.

[Frank Cannon]

6. If you hate that song, you're gonna LOVE this video...

from Mad-TV.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Vzxky8TqkU4

Pretty damn funny, and I hate that song too.

[MiniMandaRuth]

21. *Snort*

You owe me a new keyboard.

[philosophie_en_rose]

13. I hate that song, too.

Plus, Stacy Ferguson is way too old to dress like that.

[Frank Cannon]

5. I Believe I Can Fly

When I found out that the guy who did that song got busted for pedophilia, that just added to my feelings for it.

[Pryderi]

10. "Greatest Love of All"--Whiney [sic] Houston

[nytemare]

45. Yep, and "I will Always Love You"

My God, they overplayed that shitty song.

[philosophie_en_rose]

16. Anything by Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, or Beyonce Knowles

Trashy, lame examples for the young girls they target. Before anyone's panties start to bunch, I don't mean that they should be censored. Just ridiculed for their lazy, gold-digging, moron songs and attitudes.


Can you pay my bills? Can you pay my telephone bills?
Can you pay my automo-bills? If you can, maybe we can chill.
I don't think you could,
So you and me are through.

[theophilus]

18. Going way back.......Midnight at the Oasis. Yuck.

Maybe that is why some Arabs hate us so much. :evilgrin:

[xmas74]

37. They don't hate us for that song.

They just think all American women are sluts for that one.

[MiniMandaRuth]

19. I'm In Love With A Stripper

I die a little inside every time I hear that.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

20. By T-Payne, or whatever the hell his name is?

:puke:

[MiniMandaRuth]

23. I don't know the answer to your question, should be all of them

but every time I hear that song on the radio, I start screaming like there are demon monkies inside my head.

(Well, not really, but I start acting like it.)

[LSdemocrat]

22. Almost all 1990's "pop" music

Jewel, Alanis Morrissette, Hootie and the Blowfish, Goo Goo Dolls, Backstreet Boys, N'Sync, and all those one hit wonders too crappy to mention. Terrible, terrible decade for pop music.

[mvd]

28. Except for Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync..

you mentioned 90s artists I like.

[theophilus]

24. Ms. theophilus adds "Tequila Makes Her Clothes Off" to the list. n/t

[zanne]

25. "Don't Worry; Be Happy"

That guy should be shot.

[MissMillie]

35. That was the first that came to my mind

I also don't like Sweet Home Alabama

[Spirochete]

68. I second that one

Here's a little song I wrote
that makes VancSouthpaw want to slash my throat
Don't worry, be happy

[livetohike]

26. Wind Beneath My Wings or whatever and anything categorized

as "easy listening".

[Scout1071]

27. Sherryl Crow - "If it makes you happy."

I'm freakin' cringing just thinking of it.

[mvd]

30. Torn Between Two Lovers -- ACK!! N/T

[auntAgonist]

36. Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep

Last night I heard my momma singing this song
Ooh wee chirpy chirpy cheep cheep
Woke up this morning and my momma was gone
Ooh wee chirpy chirpy cheep cheep
Chirpy chirpy cheep cheep chirp



ad nauseaum..

[Lydia Leftcoast]

38. Oldies but Baddies

"I Need a Hero"
"Havin' My Baby"
Anything by Tommy James and the Shondells ("Anything" isn't the name of a song. I truly mean anything.)
Anything by Bread
"One Two Three Red Light"
"Seasons in the Sun"
"Lay Down Lay Down"--This song, along with its accomplices "Lay Lady Lady," "Lay Down Sally" and "Won't You Lay with Me in a Field of Stone" completely destroyed the ability of the average American to distinguish "lie" and "lay" in the early 1970s.
"Billy You're My Friend"

[patcox2]

60. How can you abhor Jaques Brel

as translated by Rod Mckuen?

[Hardrada]

40. Don't Take Your Guns to Town, Bill

Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town

& Please Don't Squeeze My Sharmon

All c&w "hits."

[Hardrada]

41. O Mine Papa

I think that was one of Perry Como's more dismal efforts. You do remember Perry Como, don't you? Oh really?

[no name no slogan]

42. All of them

Every single last one

[Pryderi]

49. You must really hate the Beatles.

[no name no slogan]

54. The Beatles suck

bland, boring wanky "beat group" in desperate need off a butt-kicking. Too bad Macca is making a fortune slowly fucking the dead Beatles corpse these days, because nobody in their right mind would pay good money for a Wings tribute.

[gollygee]

46. Anything by Meat Loaf or (Jefferson) Starship

So many songs but that's a good start

[maveric]

47. Any song in the "Pop" category.

Pop is and always has been watered down crap, IMHO.

[Pryderi]

48. Like a Rhinestone Cowboy....dun dun...riding out on...

[SiobhanClancy]

51. Horse With No Name

I truly hate that song:(

[elshiva]

52. "You're in the desert. Alone. NAME the fucking horse!"

to paraphrase Randy Newman.

[MnFats]

66. "it felt good to be out of the rain..."

what, you road the horse through a f*****g downpour in the desert?
i guess it's possible but these guys and their lame attempt to sound like neil young are deserving of the worst scorn...

[mzteris]

53. Winchester Cathedral

Some crap by a group called the "honey drippers"

and

Wind Beneath My Wings


that's just off the top of my head.

Great, now they're all stuck in my head!

:banghead:

[Left Is Write]

55. "Free Bird." Anything by the Thompson Twins. "Tempted" by Squeeze.

I've got a million of 'em.

[speedoo]

57. Anything by Toby Keith or Lee Greenwood.

Phony patriots and chickenhawks.

[Mz Pip]

58. Celine Dion

My Heart Will Go On

Mz Pip
:dem:

[bumblebee1]

59. Here's a few

Who Let the Dogs Out- I felt the song was totally stupid.

Fire on the Mountain- While I was in the Navy, my ship had a band that primarily played country music. Unfortunately, they'd play the same songs over and over. The above mentioned was one of them. Every time the radio would play that song, I'd turn off the radio.

[noonwitch]

62. "Don't Worry, Be Happy" among others

"Billy, Don't Be A Hero"

Most rap songs.

[Brewman_Jax]

63. There are several

most by the cookie-cutter corporate clones (Britney, Jessica, etc.), esp. any remakes.

Most country.

[mr blur]

64. Bohemian Rhapsody

Hotel California and, of course, Freebird.

[JCMach1]

65. *Beep* Song- Pussycat Dolls

IT seems to be WillIams sequel to 'My Humps'....

What utter rubbish... :puke:

[MnFats]

67. ANYTHING by a band named for a place! Boston, America

Chicago, Kansas...you name it...

[ceile]

69. Oasis-"Wonderwall"

whiny and annoying!
