Imagine came on the radio at work one day, and the manager changed the station because he said Imagine promotes atheism. Now that's all I can think about when I hear it, how outraged he was and the lecture he gave us about "Oh, if you only knew what he was singing about" etc.

Not what I thought this thread would be about.  I was going to complain about Slow Hands and the sweat dripping on my dirty laundry . . . SaveSaveOK, I'm feeling dense.... What did you think this thread would be about?...Is there a joke here that I just don't get? The thread title is "songs that annoy the heck out of you" so I came in thinking you were looking for current songs that annoy the heck out of me.  For us, the radio station is changed quickly when Slow Hands starts to play. A sample of the lyrics: Slow hands, slow hands Like sweat dripping down our dirty laundry. No, no chance That I'm leaving here without you on me. SaveSave |

Pierogi thanks a lot-Now I have that terrible "Nothing compares too U" going through my head and I hate that song! Tiffanytwisted-completely agree with you about "I just died in your arms tonight" and "Don't worry, be happy" I'm so sorry!  That song is the worst. |

As for the list, there are definitely a few they can take out of that vault: TiffanyTwisted definitely does not want "Hotel California" to go anywhere! And there is no song more fun to sing REALLY loud than "Bohemian Rhapsody". But reading the list reminded me of another song they can get rid of - "Don't Worry, Be Happy". Ack.I just heard Bobby McFerrin on the radio singing a classical piece with Yo Yo Ma. It was unbelievably beautiful. That man has some serious chops. I don't agree with Bohemian Rhapsody or Paradise by the Dashboard Light -- songs of my youth that I love singing loudly with. |

Now that's all I can think about when I hear it, how outraged he was and the lecture he gave us about "Oh, if you only knew what he was singing about" etc. "Imagine" does not promote atheism. Sounds like your manager doesn't know anything about John Lennon. Lennon was all about world peace. Love not war. Many radicals use religion as a weapon to promote war and violence. That's what John Lennon meant in the song lyrics in "Imagine". "Imagine is a beautiful song, at least in my opinion and many others of my generation. |

I'll add Escape (the Pina Colada song). Awww, see, I get all sentimental when I hear that song. It was popular my first year of college... when I met this cute blond haired, blue-eyed guy in biology class (who is now a cute gray-haired, glasses wearing husband!). It is such an unusual song to have for "our song" since the words aren't exactly about a wonderful relationship but I just melt when I hear that song because it reminds me of college football games, and fall leaves, and rain and dating and...... <sigh>..... |

I like most of the songs on that list, even if some of them are a bit overplayed.
ITA about the Pina Colada song. That might be the worst song ever.

Anyway, I always remember a really well done discussion about this song when a group of bible-thumpers picketed the radio station demanding that it not be played. Something along the lines of the song doesn't say there is no Heaven, just "Imagine" there's no heaven.... |

I'm a big Harry Chapin fan, and it always annoys me that the only two songs of his ever played on the radio are Cats in the Cradle and W.O.L.D. He has a whole body of work, people! I would agree with quite a lot of the songs on the list, but I am always happy to listen to American Pie. I would gladly add Livin' La Vida Loca and Don't Look Back In Anger. I hate them both! I LOVE Harry Chapin♥️♥️! I Wanna Learn a Love Song is one of my all time favorite songs! Ready to Run by the Dixie Chicks has to shoot to the top of the annoying song list. I want to drive an ice pick into my ears when I hear it. |

Christmas Shoes tops my list! Okay, I was reading all of these songs thinking "NUH-UH, these are ALL good ones!" and then I ran across the post about Christmas Shoes.... I about drove off the road trying to turn off the radio last year. What an icky, not-even-really-sentimental-but-trying-to-be, song!  |

Paul McCartney's "Let 'Em In" is by far the worst song ever written.

Anything by the Black Eyed Peas. I used to love them and now it’s torture. I think it’s Fergie’s singing that gets to me. Why is this?

I could spend hours, typing up songs that annoy me anymore... but one that will always get the channel changed by DH or myself > Pink Floyd; The Wall....
Now if We are in the car and Black from Pearl Jam comes on, DH will turn it up and enjoy every second of the song. ME on the other hand want to drive my car off a bridge or into a brick wall if I hear it.

I don't like Taylor Swift, so I always change the station when her songs come on. I also don't like country, and a couple songsI consider country (and maybe they aren't country), I turn the station. Not sure the name, but one is something like "slow hands" and the other talks about "driving 15 in a 30". Yuk!
I love 80s songs! They remind me of high school and college, wonderful years! And I love Beach Boys because I love summer!

I agree with a lot of the posts here.
I do NOT agree with that list. There's only 3 or 4 I don't like. American Pie and Imagine are two of my all time favourites!!!!
Too many memories brought back by most of the songs on that list!

Do They Know It's Christmas. It is the most culturally insensitive, paternalistic, patronizing song I have ever heard. The Barenaked Ladies do a cover of it on their Christmas album (my favourite Christmas album) and every time I hear it, I want to throw my iPod out the window.

I interpret the challenge as naming songs that were perfectly good songs to begin with, but they were overplayed and became totally annoying. Here is my list:
Tonight's the Night by Neil Young
Luckenbach Texas by Waylon Jennings
We Built This City by Jefferson Starship

The song In the Year 2525. That song scared me as a kid and unsettles me as an adult. I will change the channel no matter who I am with or where.

Thank you all for the horrible earworms! LOL
I actually like a lot of that list, but you all hit on a lot of my sore spots.
As for current music, DH and I have a culture war in our house. He adores Taylor Swift. I...don't. Her current song is like nails on a chalkboard to me. He pumps it up and pumps up the base as often as he can. I nearly ripped the radio out of his dashboard when I finished a 20 mile training run and got back to the car, he sees me and turns it way up thinking he's being cute. I was bone sore, tired, hungry and cranky. Yes, I threatened my DH with bodily harm.

Well, the first song that came to my mind was "I Just Died in Your Arms Tonite". Despite the fact that there are a million songs that make no sense, this one just really hocks me off. Obviously you did not just die. You are singing!! And while it wasn't that popular, I manage to hear it about once a week during the limited amount of time I spend in my car. It's like the freakin' song is stalking me.As for the list, there are definitely a few they can take out of that vault: TiffanyTwisted definitely does not want "Hotel California" to go anywhere! And there is no song more fun to sing REALLY loud than "Bohemian Rhapsody". But reading the list reminded me of another song they can get rid of - "Don't Worry, Be Happy". Ack. I think they're talking about what the French call "le petit mort", nudge, nudge, wink, wink. I never would have taken that song literally. |
