Songs You Can't Stand

We didn’t start the fire. Hated that song already and then DS28’s 8th grade English teacher had the brilliant idea to have each of the kids do a report on a lyric. While his poster turned out really cool, I really wanted to shoot the radio.

Last Christmas. I turn the radio off sooooo fast!!!

All I want for Christmas. But really any Mariah Carey song. Can’t stand her voice.

I did that assignment one year. It had to be something from the song or the movie National Treasure.

I do not like most songs by Mariah Carey, Adele, Celine Dion, or Whitney Houston or any singer like that (I think Josh Groban and Buble might qualify too, but I don't know enough)

Thought of some more:

We didn't start the fire
Alanis Morissette - You oughta know

Red Ragtop by Tim McGraw makes me irrationally angry. No idea why. 

So funny. I actually sought that song out to listen to yesterday. I have never looked at it as a trying to get someone to sleep with you song.

I have always looked at it as your words mean nothing if you don’t show me that you love me in your actions. I know the one line is about reach out and touch me, but I still didn’t take that as about sex. I took it as someone’s love language is physical touch and not words.

Funny how people hear a song differently!

Beyonce’s “Single Ladies”. That screechy squealy background noise is like nails on a chalkboard for me. I HATE it so much.

I know there are others but this one came to mind immediately.

I too hate the twang.
And I agree with you about Alanis in general, but she's also done one of my very favorite songs ever, "Uninvited" from the City of Angels soundtrack. And she played God in Dogma, so she weighs out evenly for me.

A Horse with No Name by America. Have never liked that song.

I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas. That song just sets my nerves on edge as soon as it comes on. So stupid!  On the other hand, I think Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer is funny.  Go figure!  

You may hate the song, but you really should watch the documentary about it - The Greatest Night in Pop - on Netflix.  Very interesting!

The ones that get me to change the channel immediately are Hey Ya, The Christmas Shoes, Wonderful Christmastime and any song that has been remixed with other spoken words/ names/ whatever that never occurred in the original track. I can’t stand a lot of the twangy country singers (especially the males) that populate DH’s playlist. 🤮 And there are a lot of them. Lately I’m hating the Luke Combs version of Fast Car that is played endlessly even on the pop and alternative channels I listen to, and everything by Jellyroll. Also, sorry Swifties, I’m really over the fact that my formerly favorite radio station has been playing all Taylor, all the time for months now. I can tolerate her in moderation but not literally every half hour.

How could I have forgotten Amazing Grace and Lady In Red!  

lesley, here's another Hallelujah disliker. 

I'm happily singing away to a lot of what others really dislike.
