Is there a song for which you have a visceral hatred?

WHen I hear that Black Eyed Peas song, Humps I think, I just want to puke. It just brings up the most primitive feelings in me. I've never cared for that band but with this song they have pushed me into a new territory of dislike.

That song makes me want to hurt orphans and nuns and puppies. :grr:

When my son was in pre-school, he used to sing that song and say "...where at least I know I'm three". Cracked me up every time.

Redstone

Thier names make Hulk want to Smash.

I was all set to reply with "My Humps" when I read the title to your OP.

That's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaddddddddddd stuff......

Awful. Black Eyed Peas used to seem pretty promising, but that song flat out sucks.

But it's been all downhill since "Elephunk."

:puke: :puke: :puke:

I wonder if it has something to do with association.

:puke:

I love it!

Sexist shit.

:grr:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Under_My_Thumb

Jagger's lyrics celebrate the satisfaction of finally having controlled and gained leverage over a previously pushy, dominating woman. The lyrics, which savor the successful "taming of the shrew" with nasty glee (comparing the woman in question to a "pet" and a "dog"), definitely provoked negative reactions among some listeners, especially feminists, who predictably objected to the suppressive sexual politics of the male narrator.

It can be reasonably argued, however, that the song is a vignette, or simply an examination of sexual malevolence and tension, and that the maliciousness of both the lyrics and Jagger's performance is theatrical and doesn't seriously advocate domination and/or sadism.

Many listeners also note that the woman who is the subject of the song was previously the dominant figure in the relationship, and that the narrator was originally submissive to her, making the implications of the song more complicated than simple chauvinistic nastiness.

Jagger later reflected on the track in a 1995 interview: "It's a bit of a jokey number, really. It's not really an anti-feminist song any more than any of the others.... Yes, it's a caricature, and it's in reply to a girl who was a very pushy woman."

I've demanded that our local oldies stations donate to New Beginnings or the county rape counseling cented whenever they play either. No luck so far, though.

also :hi:...nice to see you in the lounge again!

I don't venture here much nowadays. I'm usually swimming with the sharks and piranhas in GD. By the way, did you read Arundhati's piece on Bush's visit?

do you have a link or should i google it...i saw you on that racist thread a few days ago...hope all is well

I believe it's the true cause of hangnails, flat tires and global warming.

;)

You just dragged me into earworm territory, buddy. :spank:

;)

...we just made our own personal Lounge Mobius strip:

You bet I'll be collecting now! ;)

Come and collect any time you like. ;)

...there is zero Men Without Hats. I can't stand that crap! ;)

;)

are you saying you like the song?

And now, thanks to you, it's an earworm.

I avoided earworming myself with it by giving in to The Safety Dance.

I HATE EDIE BRICKELL!!!!

I gave her first record a scathing review in my college paper when it came out. Needless to say, I didn't get any granola chick action that year.

And the hackey-sack-playing guys wouldn't play hackey-sack with me, either :(

I can't bear to hear so much as one note of the above-named song.

No clue who did it.

Sample lines I can remember:

"Philosophy
Is a course that I never passed
In high school
I flunked every class"

or

"Choke me
I'm a shallow person"

or

"Choke me
or I'll keep on singing"

"What I write
Is really trite
Do these lyrics bite
Or what?"

Hehehehe

Efforts to find the culprit via Google have proven fruitless. I heard it once on the radio, and that was it.

Todd in Beerbratistan

Both just pure evil condensed down into aural form.

(Here's comedian Bill Bailey's tribute to Chris - "Beautiful Ladies": http://muse.cream.org/bill/bewild19.mp3 )

I worked at a large department store the Christmas season of my sophomore year in high school. Eight hour shifts, with my register station right under the ceiling speaker where they piped in the Christmas music. The tape coming through the speaker was 45 minutes long and would loop, so I'd hear the whole tape 11 or 12 times a shift.

Feliz Navidad was always the first song when the loop started again. I wished for death.

May Co. Dept Store in Orange County California. The pet rock guy didn't have enough money so he invented vials of male and female sand. The oh so adorable tape explaining what to do with male and female sand played constantly. All day, every ten minutes it started again.For weeks. I would have LOVED the occasional deviation into Feliz Navidad or even Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer ( though this was 1976 and that particular treasure wasn't out yet).


My least favorite song is "In the Year 2525". Profuse apologies for reminding you all!

bwahahahahaha:evilgrin:

It is a horric, terrible song, but, because I don't really listen to radio or watch MTV, I only hear it when it plays in commercials, and when I do hear it, I usually just start laughing, because the lyrics and melody are so ridiculously bad.

With a hatred beyond all reason.

Every time I hear it I feel a strange need to burn all my bras and start a commune of Amazons.

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Light does not travel as quickly as my hand shoots out to the "OFF" button.

By some singer named Charlens, I think. It is kind of in the same vein as those.

by Don McLean and that dumb "Joy to the World" by 3 Dog Night.

Why do you hate America?

That song was so overplayed back in the 70s. I am just sick to death of it. I never thought it was a very good song anyway and after hearing it a jillion and one times, I really hate it.

Is Baby Boomer self-congratulatory crap.

It is the history of Rock and Roll done as a song.
But then you would have had to grown up in the 50s and 60s to understand that.
But any tune can get on your nerves if you hear it enough.

was the first song that came to my mind as well. Not liking this song makes one hate America?? Your So Vain came in second.

'nuff said.

The first one always made me want to yell at the radio, "It's HER baby, too!"

The second is a favorite of the right-wing militarist branch of my mother's side of the family.

I was going to post that hump song before the thread opened.

my hump, my hump, my lovely lady lump -- WTF?

The oldie station has HS sports on the weekends, so we have the mix on at the store. Drives me insane.

Lee Greenwood sucks.

You've heard me bitch about it before. I won't even dignify it by naming the title.

Redstone

LOL...no i hate that song too...

literally. actually, the whole Slippery When Wet album. my sister bought it when I was ten and listened to it in my presence enough that it made me clinically depressed and contemplate suicide. I've urged my mother to sue them for reimbursement of the money she spent on my psychiatrist to no avail as yet.

how he warbles 'red rain, red rain' over and over and over again for fifteen minutes at the end sends me into a psychotic rage.

That is probably one of my favorite songs by Peter Gabriel, and I am a pretty big Peter Gabriel fan.

It's intense ... I looooove Peter's voice.

I really like the rest of it, though.

Peter Gabriel is pretty much my favorite artist.

... and anything by Leo Sayer or Air Supply, and almost anything by the Doobie Brothers.

Yes, I'm old. :)

Well, then, I ought to offer you:

"Black Water"--the Doobie Brothers

Well, I built me a raft and she’s ready for floatin’
Ol’ mississippi, she’s callin’ my name
Catfish are jumpin’
That paddle wheel thumpin’
Black water keeps rollin’ on past just the same

Old black water, keep on rollin’
Mississippi moon, won’t you keep on shinin’ on me
Old black water, keep on rollin’
Mississippi moon, won’t you keep on shinin’ on me
Old black water, keep on rollin’
Mississippi moon, won’t you keep on shinin’ on me
Yeah, keep on shinin’ your light
Gonna make everything, pretty mama
Gonna make everything all right
And I ain’t got no worries
’cause I ain’t in no hurry at all

Well, if it rains, I don’t care
Don’t make no difference to me
Just take that street car thats goin’ up town
Yeah, I’d like to hear some funky dixieland
And dance a honky tonk
And I’ll be buyin’ ev’rybody drinks all ’roun’

Old black water, keep on rollin’
Mississippi moon, won’t you keep on shinin’ on me
Old black water, keep on rollin’
Mississippi moon, won’t you keep on shinin’ on me
Old black water, keep on rollin’
Mississippi moon, won’t you keep on shinin’ on me
Yeah, keep on shinin’ your light
Gonna make everything, pretty mama
Gonna make everything all right
And I ain’t got no worries
’cause I ain’t in no hurry at all

I’d like to hear some funky dixieland
Pretty mama come and take me by the hand
By the hand, take me by the hand pretty mama
Come and dance with your daddy all night long
I want to honky tonk, honky tonk, honky tonk
With you all night long

*********************************************************

No?

:P :P :P

:evilgrin:

.... I hate the Doobies. I especially hate their vocalist. In fact, the majority of my loathing comes from that guy. Yuk.

:P

I have HATED that song since my long-vanished youth. :puke:

But I despise "If You Leave Me Now" by Chicago. Just hearing the first few notes makes me want to scream.

Tonight I was in a department store, and the sound system was in full '70s mode -- "Midnight at the Oasis," "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight." All that was missing was the Andrea True Connection.

I love "Black Water," and I can stand "If You Leave Me Now," though it DOES get irritating after a while.

:P

"Gimme that funky dixieland." Always runs through my head when I am depressed and makes everything worse. EEEEEEEW! :puke:

I am EVIL!

:evilgrin:

YOU are awesome. :hug: Just no more of that funky dixieland Please!

Don't post lyrics to songs that contain "funky dixieland."

:P

:hug:

Having even typed it out, drastic measures will be needed to re-compose the mind....

I got stuck on the ride at Disney World for 4 hours. They kept saying it was a mechanical problem and we would be off in no time, but somebody LIED!!!!!!!!!! I was stuck in front of the Eskimo kid. To this day, it's a damn good thing I live in a humid, sub-tropical climate because if I ever saw a poor, unsuspecting eskimo I'd probably completely lose it and go off.

I cannot hear that song without flipping out. I just can't...........

and swore I would never step foot in that hellhole again.

Just UNREAL.

I would have jumped out of the cart and left.

I liked it at the time, but what did I know - I was 4.

I was 14 and I'll never forget it.

Someone else who was at Flushing Meadows!

I recall going by CONVEYOR belt past the Pieta. Could that be possible?

The General Electric song about it being "a great, big, beautiful tomorrow" (How DO you punctuate that???) also stayed in my head ever after.

for sure, and as I remember they had it bathed in kind of greenish light. I remember 'It's a small world" too. What an annoying song.

The stupid woman took three freaking calls and talked really loudly in a freaking taco stand at freaking lunchtime. By the third call I was ready to rip the phone out of her hand and smash it on the floor. :(
Good lord, hearing that song and her ensuing conversation was beyond annoying. :grr:

edit: Your experience at Disney World sounds like a nightmare. :scared:

Quite possibly the worst "song" in all of human history.

It is so horribly obnoxious. I hate Gwen Stefani anyway, but that song out-horribles her other stuff.

http://www.myspace.com/cobrastarship

Page features ‘This Shit Is Bananas,’ A probing analysis of Gwen Stefani’s ‘Hollaback Girl’ by GREG STACY.

Smirking Chimp On A Bicycle I hate that execrable damnable racket!!!! That accursed teen-pop Z104 station in Madison used to play that constantly...I'd have the misfortune of having to help a user who played that wretched station in their cubicle, and it'd be all I could do to keep from smashing the radio. I'd calmly turn the volume off, fix their PC, and leave ASAP.

Ay yiy yiy yiy YIY that's an irritant! It isn't even music!

Todd in Beerbratistan

Freshmen - Vervepipe
Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) - Green Day
just about anything Dave Matthews Band
just about anything (rehashed) by P. Diddy
just about anything Creed

I kind of hate everything about it. In general, I hate any song that has a nostalgic "lost innocence" theme.

I will be playing that song on my Walkmans. I hated it since I was a small child.

*shudders* :scared:

That wraps up The White Album for you then? :hi:

Number9number9number9...

Number Nine (Paul is dead) Number NINE NINE. EEEK!

I hate both of them.

but I think I hear "Hotel California" even more than I hear "Stairway to Heaven". I actually do like a lot of the Eagles' other stuff (yeah, I'm a dork :) ), but "Hotel California" is so played out.

Nothing against short men - I know many nice short men -- but in junior high school 99% of the male population was shorter than me, and I didn't want them pressed up against me with their head in my chest and their sweaty hands on my back for the duration of Stairway to Heaven, which was always the last song at the dance (shudder) - > :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared:

;)

Even "Hotel California," and even the ten-thousandth time. It doesn't get a *ton* of radio play here, so it's okay...

:hide:

:P :P

When he sings it, I think YOU'VE forgotten to do your research.

The "My Humps" song is stupid, but I don't hate it the way I hate the Darryl song. Too bad, because Darryl does have talent.

Actually, I've never heard him, that I know of. Partly because I avoid him like the plague and partly because I don't listen to that kind of countrry music.

That song makes me want to poke sharp styx through my eyeballs and into my brain to end it all ... :scared:

Barry does nothing for me, somehow.

I used to listen to him when I was a kid.

It's my policy to never pass up a great NN2S reference.

Yup, Toby Keith's patriotic Bush-loving bullshit pushes me way over the edge.

Same goes for you too, Alan Jackson!

at an airshow the 4th of July 2002. I still bought the official 9-11 propaganda at the time, and was still a rethug :( . I was playing keys and Hammond with a band backing up an aspiring country singer. It was the last song of the evening, and I punctuated the ending by turning my Hammond L-100 off and on a few times (making the organ's pitch go nuts) and banging the end of the organ on the stage for the final beat, getting a huge crashing explosion sound from the organ's spring reverb a la Keith Emerson. :D I had fun doing that, but I feel kinda dirty looking back on it, having played that horrible bit of RW musical propaganda.

Ah well...I got to see the USAF Thunderbirds for free, and I got paid... ;)

Todd in Cheesecurdistan

"She said 'We have nothing in common.'

And I said 'What about Breakfast at Tiffany's?
And she said 'Yeah, I remember the film.
And as I recall, yeah, well, we both kind of liked it.'
And I said, 'Well, that's the one thing we've got."

And I said, yeah, well, she's just not that into you, get the freak over it, already.
And he said, here's a really crappy guitar solo.
And I said, go out with someone else already!
And he said, hey, let's make a video where we, like, all ACTUALLY eat breakfast right outside Tiffany's! Wouldn't that be, like, really literal and cool?!
And I said, well

:puke:

Ugh.

Luckily, I rarely hear the latter anymore, but I still hear "Fly" one time too many.

If man is still alive, he may say "What horrible music they made in the 20th century."

There are several. That one, My Humps, is slowly climbing the hatred scale. But for me, the honor right now goes to My Sharona and When Will We Meet Again? Sharona because it's still an earwig (worse than an earworm!) and the other because a long time ago, mid 70s, I used to work graveyard shift and that freaking song was the one working channel's theme song. Back then,we didn't have programming that ran all night, and more channels than not eschewed programming completely. So on the only channel with something other than snow, that song was always on.

P.S. Another one that I despise is Wannabee because they're using it for some commercial and I'm so sick of it. I start singing it and realize it's nothing but crap.

That Black Eyed Peas song is a good call too.

(Although I actually don't mind the song it samples...)

"She Likes Me for Me" by Blessid Union of Souls

I'm sure there are plenty of others, but those two from my high school days come to mind. I'm generally a pretty openminded listener.

Let me state that I am not a Mariah Carey fan at all, and this song is worse than eating okra (sorry to all you okra lovers)

:puke:

Just thinking about that song makes me sick:(

I literally get nauseated. I have to turn the radio off or find another station fast.

FUCK, who was the engineer, WHO was the asshole that allowed that abomination out of the studio? That is, hands down, the most annoying fucking song ever butchered and foisted on an unsuspecting public EVER. When it came out, you literally could not escape it. It was everywhere. Movies, ALL radio stations, TV, elevators, department stores, parties . .. GOD the agony! And when you mention it, it becomes an instantaneous earworm that eats your eustachian tube like a blood-deprived leech. What is it with people's attraction to vocals that sound like the most aggravating air raid siren going off in your ear? What is with Whitney's continuous vocal gymnastics, beating every single note to a merciless pulp until it lies rotting and stinking in the Earth? What does it say about Dumberica when they made that goddamned piece of garbage number One for 14 straight WEEKS?

However, the Whitney Houston version is awful.

Because that's what Shitney Houston's version is: a torn-apart and shat-upon facsimile of a good CW hit.

It's a vile, vile song. And like it was said...the Dolly Parton version (of her own song) is moving and heartfelt...not this shitty "I'm a DIVA, dammit" ego project

:puke:

By "that one," I mean all of them.

*dons asbestos suit*

I swear classic rock djs put that on whenever they need a long trip to the bathroom.

:puke: :puke: :puke:

and pretty much any dreck by Faith Hill or Shania Twain ("The Way You Love Me", "I'm Gonna Getcha!", etc.)

Stupid, stupid, insipid, nausea-inducing utter shit!

Ah...that was a nice little rant...I feel better now! :-)

These songs make me dread going to weddings, because there's always a pretty good chance you're going to hear at least one of them. Ugh.

I'm gonna break some chairs if I hear that song one more time over the radio loudspeaker at my dorm's computer lab.

I've got to like the song. I fucking HATE it. I hated it the first time I heard it with serious intensity, and now I REALLY FUCKING HATE IT. Clinton had the good sense to pick a Fleetwood Mac song as a campaign booster, and Gore picked a torture device.

And now that Bush is pResident, I hate the song even more, because I can't help thinking that Gore lost votes because of it.

anything by him, I fucking hate his voice.

My Dad gets homicidal when he hears Blue Christmas. Outside of Elvis, Dad also dispises "I want a hippopotamus for christmas"

It gives me the creeps.

:wtf:

:grr:

:D

:hi:

One of the "mix" stations here seems to play it every fucking time I am subjected to listen to it, which is every three weeks or so in my mother's car. What are the odds of that? This must mean that they play it every afternoon. There are so many songs they could play on a mixed 80's, 90's and today station, why the fuck to they have to play the same ones all the time?

honest.

Small dance floor in front of his booth. Whenever he put that song on, we knew he was heading to the john and that he was playing the freaking TWENTY MINUTE version.

My friends and I discovered it was very easy to make the record skip, so as soon as he would leave, to the appreciation of the non-dancing patrons, we'd get up and dance pretty spiritedly to it.

We got caught once, but he never played the 20 min. version again to my knowledge!

A craptacular song, even worse if your name is Michael.

Overblown Piece of Crap......

with the clanging piano hook.. as well as Nickelback's "Photograph." I would have liked that if they didn't overplay it on the radio station.

Blu

"don't worry, be happy"

just the thought of it makes me want to fly into a rage :grr:

:puke:

Peter Frampton. Possible the most overplayed radio song ever. It was what? The late 70's? Can't remember.
To this day I can't listen to it. Ugh

"Baby I Love Your Way" or whatever the hell it's called, which I like. I dunno if I've ever heard "Do You Feel The Way That I Do...", though I might have, and just didn't know that was the song.

:shrug:

I can remember absolutely crawling out of my skin every time the song "I Can Help" by Billy Swan, circa 1974. I was only 9 at the time, but hated it then, as now. As a matter of fact, I hadn't thought of it in years, but it immediately popped in my head as soon as I saw this thread. Gives me the creeps now. I gotta go take a shower. bye.

If you've got a problem, don't care what it is
If you need a hand, I can assure you this
I can help, I got two strong arms
I can help
It would sure do me good to do you good
Let me help

It's a fact that people get lonely, ain't nothing new
But a woman like you baby should never have the blues
Let me help, I got two for me
Let me help
It would sure do me good to do you good
Let me help

When I go to sleep at night you're always a part of my dream
Holding me tight and telling me everything I wanna hear

Don't forget me baby, all you gotta do is call
You know how I feel about you, if I can do anything at all
Let me help, if your child needs a daddy, I can help
It would sure do me good to do you good
Let me help



And when I go to sleep at night you're always a part of my dream
Holding me tight and telling me everything I wanna hear

Don't forget me baby, all you gotta do is call
You know how I feel about you, if I can do anything at all
Let me help, if your child needs a daddy, I can help
It would sure do me good to do you good
Let me help

And when I go to sleep at night you're always a part of my dream

It would sure do me good to do you good

mikey_the_rat

Sorry for the early eighties flashback. That song just annoyed the crap out of me for some reason. I also wasn't too fond of "Another One Bites the Dust," too repetative.

:puke:

:P

That thuump, thuump thuump noise, was headache inducing. A friend of mine at college said another girl a few doors down from her kept playing it over and over. Apparently some of the other dorm members had asked her several times nicely to stop. When she ignored them and kept playing it ad nauseum they knocked on her door, entered, found the 45 and broke it, with the rest of the floor applauding outside her door.

"She got, detta darbo, dan do de size,
she got Meddy Dabie eye"

mikey_the_rat

I did hear that one. Much better than the original. :applause: :rofl:

She ran calling Wildfire
She ran calling Wildfire...

Aak!

and add "Cat's in the Cradle," that song about the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, and pretty much anything by Celine Dion.

It just goes on and on and on and on and tries to build anticipation for a (punchline? coda? something?) that never really comes.

People kept asking me to sing it at their weddings.

(Almost all the marriages ended in divorce.)

Gawd, I HATE that song.

Sounds like fingernails on a chalkboard.

If that's the case the city has collapsed because that song SUUUUUCKS ASSSSSS!!!!!

not only a shitty, jingoistic, ignorant piece of tripe, but a truly wretchedly awfully written song to boot
