Of songs that other people like?
I hate Dust in the Wind, and House of the Rising Sun, and I never need to hear Stairway to Heaven again, I have used up my quota.
"Last Christmas", any version
Wagon Wheel
Pour Some Sugar On Me. It's so terrible.
That girl is on fiiirraaaaafrrrrhhaaarraaa
(Did someone just shoot a cat?)
Might be "Bohemian Rhapsody", or "We will Rock You". Which is odd, because Killer Queen is one of my favorite songs. Same artists can make crap or magic.
And "Horse With No Name", because of the godawful pretentious stupid lyrics.
Don't you want me baby. Bananaphone. Feelings. But actually Don't you want me baby is the only one that doesn't stick in my head.
Tie between that Uncle Kracker song and this one country rock song that I dont know the name or artist of. Starts off with a gut saying "jingle jingaling" or something.
I don't just change the station if these come on. Radio just goes off, no more music that day.
jingle jingaling
Nope, this isn't too bad. The song I am thinking of I believe is from the i0s or 90s.
I may even have those words wrong, too.
Any of the 6 million versions of Hallelujah except the original Leonard Cohen and Jeff Buckley.
I swear wannabe pop singers see it as some sort of rite of passage but they universally murder it either by trying to replicate on of those two and coming up painfully short or embellishing it with flourishes and superfluous variations.
It doesn't make you look deep and thoughtful it just highlights what an average singer you are.
Frankly, even the Buckley version is worse than the original. The song has a bad case of the "Born in the USA" syndrome.
Zombie by The Cranberries. I just can't stand it.
Anything by Drake.
There are two songs that I will verbally abuse a movie for having on its soundtrack.
"What A Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong, and "Fly Me To The Moon" by Frank Sinatra.
If you put those songs in...anything, you're a fucking hack.
WAWW has been used both straight and ironically TO DEATH. It has been played over beautiful and horrific scenes. There's nothing you can use it to say that hasn't already been said by someone more clever than you.
FMTTM is the song completely uncreative people put in movies that have something to do with the moon. "We have an establishing shot of the moon and we need some licensed music for the soundtrack. Gee, now what's the hackiest laziest most cliched pissbabyest lack of a brain stemiest thing we could put here?" "You're not going to believe this, but I found a Sinatra song that might just be a lazy enough choice. It's already been used in all the other movies, is that lazy enough?"
Never be the same by Camila Cabello. Fucking annoying overplayed ass music.
Nickleback
Baby Shark, do doo do doot do doo.
Heyyyyy brotherrrrrr.....
I was gonna say Happy by Pharrel Williams but someone else said Sweet Caroline and I might have to change my vote. Actually it's not that terrible of a song (Sweet Caroline I mean), but hearing it played at weddings and sporting events and then they pause it so everyone can scream BUM BUM BUMMM does get to me after the 5 millionth time.
