Do you have a song (songs) you can’t stand ? *Title edited by GNHQ*

And I don't like Imagine either (how hard did you have to try to imagine no possessions John?)
'Imagine'
Thank goodness, Nannarose and FannyC, I thought I'd get shredded if I said that

most things by Barry White.
Me neither although they're ok sung by someone else

Hey Mr Tambourine Man played endlessly by a boyfriend one summer, he was very nice but as boring as the song.

I'm enjoying this thread.

Remember Harry Nilsson ‘I can’t live if living is without you’? I loathe that dirge. Thankfully it’s not played too often these days.

(I agree Elton John is overrated too)!

Nooooo!

Have I the Right by The Honeycombs. It was a hit record at a time when my mum and dad took me on holiday. It was the first holiday we’d had for a long time as we were really poor and I got it in my head that I must be seriously ill with something and they’d taken me on what would be m last ever holiday. Yes, even at the age of 20 I was a hypochondriac. It was only a caravan in Evesham: not even the seaside. The song totally depresses me!

Oh yes, the song on the current John Lewis ad.
It's awful, isn't it, pollyperkins.
But I think we'll be outnumbered.

Every time you go away
You take a piece of me with you

Which always reminds me of the DC discussing body parts and which bit she'd taken that time.

I'm with joannap on We'll meet again. Also can't stand Hallelujah - too many awful screechy, warbly versions trying to sound soulful.

Seasons in the sun by Terry Jacks.

Well I either like or feel neutral about most of the songs mentioned. The only ones I agree with are Fairy tale on New York and hallelujah.
I dislike very maudlin sentimental songs especially sung in a poppy way with an American accent but can’t think of any examples. Oh yes, the song on the current John Lewis ad.

Someone mentioned 'Sugar Sugar' by the Archies - I was thinking goodness haven't heard that for about 40 years, then blow me it was blaring out in the Coop!

The most dreary song ever must be 'I'm not in luuuurve' by 10cc, it goes on forever!

I can't stand 'I Left My Heart in San Francisco'. To me it's so smug...

All I want for christmas is you. (Mariah Carey)

Surely better music out there!

So here it is Merry Christmas, and all the standard rubbish they dig out every year.
That Mariah Carey thing which is too pukey to mention that pumps out at the supermarket.
Surely

Mull of Kintyre. I once donated money to Capital Radio in the hope that they wouldn’t play it.

Tie a yellow ribbon and I just called to say I love you, radio goes off if they come on

Mac the Knife comes from the Threepenny Opera (Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht), which, in turn, is derived from The Beggar's Opera.

Nights in White Satin and A Whiter Shade of Pale.

Katy Perry’s “Firework” - the lyrics are complete rubbish!

It's about Russell Brand (snigger)

MissA I'm totally with you.
Mack the Knife is a brilliant song.
And that Push It sh**e is an absolutely vile abomination.
I've just looked it up and it's by some cretins called 'Inner Circle'.

Oh, I like that one!
Mack the knife, though, I've never had any idea what they're singing about.

Young Hearts, Run Free was another I didn't like

I had a boyfriend who loved it

He had to go

I think it's Whitney Houston.
I believe the children are our future.. blah blah....

Katy Perry’s “Firework” - the lyrics are complete rubbish!

Ah, YMCA by The Village People

That brings back memories of my lovely Mum

She just adored it. Would leap to the dance floor when it played. Whirled around the kitchen when it was on the radio!

We were sat with her at her end of life and when I played that song, she managed to nod her head and clap her hands., and smile.

Her last smile
