This is bound to get 250+ replies.
For me it is without question that stupid "Turn Down The What" song that gets played in every movie and stadium. God I hate that song with a fiery passion. It makes me want to start a riot.

(100,076 posts)It's called "Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz". The phrase "musical vomit" would be what I would accurately describe it. And I used to like the Flaming Lips too, I've pretty much lost all respect for them the last couple of years, and now this.

(9,527 posts)It glamorizes a lifestyle that is just awful based on the redneck women in my family tree.
Somebody plays it in her workout playlist in the gym and it just drives me bonkers. Of course she's a grown woman who also plays One Direction songs so her taste in music in general is pretty bad.

(14,738 posts)That's my nomination for the worst, most annoying song ever.
Other candidates include
"The crowd say bo selecta" by The Artful Dodger ft Craig David
"Moves like Jagger" - Maroon 5
Anything by Sam Smith
Too many dodgy house songs to mention.....

kentauros
(29,414 posts)Any gravely voice grates like no other. It's why I can't stand Dylan, that rocker I can't ever remember that always spins around on stage with his mic-stand, Joe Cocker, and whoever else with similar voices from the 60s and 70s.
That should make me "dead" to most of the Loungites now
Tommy_Carcetti
(43,182 posts)It's so bad I won't even link to it. Needless to say, it includes a portion where the lead singer starts literally screaming at his mother out of no where. And I so wish I was making it up. But I'm not.
Then again, it's Nu Metal, and Nu Metal's probably the reason rock music has all but died as a contemporary mainstream genre.
I just can't think of any situation where someone sits down and listens to this song and actually would think to one's self, "You know this is really good" or even, "This isn't so bad that I want to immediately turn the station."
It is simply breathtakingly awful.
Of course, if we're including commercial jingles, I'd also include a song in radio ads for 411-Pain, a personal injury attorney referral service.
It goes,
You just got in an accident
Cause a car swerved in your lane
And you don't know who to call
1-800-411-PAIN
Which, fine, it's a lame commercial jingle, except whoever they hired to sing the song is just awful. I'm talking ear-bleedingly awful. Sounds like the proverbial dying cat.
It makes me want to call 1-800-411-PAIN to sue someone just for having to listen to it.

(22,271 posts)I fucking hate that song with every fiber of my being and back when it was released, they played it every 45 seconds. I even had the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album (someone bought for me) and I could almost choke down some of the songs on there but "Benny and the Jets" . . . I couldn't move fast enough to move the needle (yes, needle!).

(23,238 posts)starting with "Danny's (Dumb) Song"--Anne Murray, covered by Loggins & Messina. (Both versions make me retch.)
"Coconut"--Nilsson;
"Don't Worry, Be Happy"--whatever Dipshit that was.......
Any Doobie Brothers song;
Any Captain & Tenille song (what WAS all that BS about muskrats, anyway? ), or any Neil Sedaka song;
Any Michael Jackson, Jackson 5, or Osmond(s) song.
I'd say if you're not sick by now, you're not trying.

A HERETIC I AM
(24,368 posts)The Black Crows "Hard to Handle"
The ABSOLUTE WORST Rock and Roll song ever recorded. Annoyingly bad syncopation in the chorus. Not just bad, but non-existent. It's like they had lyrics and a melody that didn't fit, so they just said fuck it and mashed them together. The way the chorus ends is so totally fucking stupid it is beyond words.
I swear, I hate that song with a burning passion. I have paid bartenders to shut it off. If it comes on the radio in my car, I quickly switch it off.
I have discovered a good way to rid yourself of an earworm though.
Just think to yourself - don't hum or sing, just think of the tune to "Girl From Ipanema"
Works every time.
