I was traumatised by the song Last Christmas by Wham. I worked retail for way too long and for the Holidays we had Christmas songs on repeat. And after some time I just could not stand the whiny voices anymore.
Try having to listen to 5 different versions. Every hated that song by the end of the Christmas season and they accidently kept the Christmas music on until February
I suffered through Shakira's horrible off key singing every at work for more five years! I never liked her music since she started in Spanish. It is bad enough to hear her butcher songs while "singing" Spanish then to hear her also butcher songs in English for years because the radio station on where I work played her music for years.
"Achy Breaky Heart" by Billy Ray Cyrus is the first song I ever remember disliking as a kid. Growing up in the American southwest during the 90's that song was inescapable and it's annoyed me since kindergarten. A lot of country hits from that era are nostalgic for me but that song can fuck right off.
My friend would use all her money (at 5 years old) to play that song on repeat on the Pizza Hut jukebox. I don't hate it anymore but I did for 20 years
@@GonzoCiosain oh no. I've been so selfish. I knew my father and I were completely driven mad but I never considered the 1 or 2 other families at a time (small town) that might've been there. We must've killed so much business. That's hilariously horrible. She'd play it so many times there'd sometimes be 3 plays left when we were leaving. I can't imagine, the poor workers must be traumatized.
We had a neighbour, who played loud music late in the evenings. It stopped after we discovered we could connect to their sound bar through the wall and play Barbie Girl at full volume. They also secured their sound bar after that.
I also remember an episode of shooting stars where people had to guess the person from short clues. Bob Mortimer says "pink spotty rubber twat". The contestant answered Mr Blobby within a second.
The song Happy by Pharrell Williams I can’t stand listening to even though it is a pretty good song. I remember the time when it was being played what felt like 24/7 and it just ruined it for me. I think every person will have that song. The one that’s good but was played so much you don’t like listening to it.
If you think that was bad tell that to Pharrell during filming of the music video. He quite literally listen to that song and filming it for like 24 hours.
I have never felt so perfectly in sync with a RUclips channel as when I made the EXACT same sound as Karl and Nisha when Unnamed Friend said they didn't like MCR hahaha. On that note, hard for me to think of specific songs just off the top of my head but for an overplayed song I USED to like: Just Give Me a Reason by P!NK and Nate Ruess. I adored the song but IT. WAS. EVERYWHERE.
Years ago I went to see My Chemical Romance in concert. They were absolutely amazing but their set had to be postponed a bit because of Jared fucking Leto. Their opener was 30 Seconds to Mars and during their set dumbass Leto decided to climb some of the stage rigging, but it didn't appear to be a pre-arranged thing because when he did a bunch of security guards rushed onto the stage to stand below him while he kept climbing higher and higher. Then a piece of rigging broke off and he almost fell. Once he was finally down the crowd started booing him. Then the venue operators had to check the rigging to make sure it was still safe for MCR to perform and we all kept chanting how angry we were at Leto for making us wait an additional 20 minutes. Such a dick.
Side note, there's a period in my life where I was so negative about music. I was one of those people who thought "Good" music happened before I was born. I don't think it's possible to be more wrong about something, and I'm a little embarrassed at how long it took to see the worth in modern music both for myself and other people. A good song is made great by the listeners feelings towards it, and I'll go out of my way to find stories about any song at all. Also Karl and Nisha, you are both awesome people and your channel is one of the best on RUclips
I was the same for a very long time, I’m really trying to let myself give musicians a shot now before immediately hating on them before hearing any of their music. Heard Harry Styles for the first time recently and I gotta say I really was an asshole for no reason haha. People like how I used to be are so insufferable I’m so glad I grew up.
In a primary school in 2000, the leavers did a performance of "Reach for the Stars" together. So hopeful and earnest and innocent. The song has had the power to reduce me to happy/snivelling tears ever since.
There's a cover of Let It Snow that has played in the store I work at the past three Christmases, but instead of any other musical instrument, it has a slow, plodding djembe(?) backing akin to those used in old cartoons. It just doesn't work for the song, and it's very dissonant.
I do weird genre-bending electroclassical holiday tunes and I just spent like ten minutes trying to remember if I've done that song or not because that sounds *VERY* much like something I'd do 😂
Here’s a very obscure 90s girl band: In the wake of the Spice Girls, record execs tried to fling together groups to rake in money. The worst was one called Vanilla. They released one song, no way, that had them ‘singing’ the Muppets’ Mna mna to the weakest beat ever! I could only find one clip of them on Top of the Pop’s and all comments are turned off…t
When he first asked the question at the beginning of the video this was the song that immediately popped into my head. Shocked to see it mentioned here but I guess that proves how awful it was 😅
It has been years since I've listened to the radio, resulting in me not having a song I hate. I've forgotten all of them because I only either listened to them once or it has been years since I last heard them. Instead I have a "Good Music" playlist on my channel which I use for all my listening needs.
It took me like an hour to watch this video. Everytime they would mention a new song, I'd think, "oh! I love that!" Then I'd go listen to said song and come back. Only for them to mention another banger. Rinse repeat
My most hated song has to be All About That Bass by Meghan Trainor. It wasn't my jam to begin with but I was working a job where the radio was always on so after having to listen to it 4-5 times a day for 5 weeks, I can't hear it anymore without feeling physically ill.
Two songs that are in my "overplayed to death" list are "My heart will go on" from Titanic and Last Christmas by Wham. I can put up with them but I'm not going out listen to them by choice. On a positive note though Agadoo is used in one of my favourite adverts of all time, A voiceover tells us that Agadoo was a hit for Black Lace twice and then gives us the tag line "Recycling rubbish works." Classic.
Oh come on, we forgot Mariah's - All I want for Christmas?! I don't know if it's that repetitive on UK radios, but it damn sure is in Bulgaria every December. And speaking of musical torture, my roommate back in the day used to taunt me with Gangnam Style 😁
One Night in Bangkok isn't synthwave, though, it's the genuine article. Unless Murray Head rerecorded it for some reason? Anyway, if you love the 80s sound, check out the Starmania album - it's from 1990, but that doesn't stop it from being one of the most 80s things I've ever heard. Also I loathe Ice Ice Baby for always tricking me into thinking, for a few seconds, that it's Under Pressure.
Another Starmania fan...I never thought I would see the day (There are other versions too; the original 70s version is fun and the 1998 version is the one I first heard after picking it up in a thrift shop.) =)
@@crappozappo Makes me wish I spoke French. I first encountered the handful of songs from it on Tim Rice's "I Know Them So Well" album, then only much later found the rest of the English tracks. From what I can tell, it would have crushed Jonathan Larson if he'd encountered it...
A Team by Ed Sheran. it was the song that introduced me to him as an artist. and then i made the mistake of downloading it to my phone. any time i let my music app stop running in the background and then start playing music in my car, that song plays. it’s so annoying.
I'm kind of weird sometimes with music. 1) Hate a song 2) Play it ironically 3) Love song genuinely Having moved to Alabama, it would be Sweet Home Alabama. Now I play that song every time I drive back home and cross the state line.
I was in the pub last night and they where playing 70's songs. I was singing along to almost every song. I am 32 lol. Some 50 year old man said i dont know the songs because i wasnt born lol. I said how do i know the words then? Ended that argument before it started lol. Also when i was younger, it was cool not to like nickleback. I bought silverside up lol. You like what you like and shouldnt let anyone else dictate what you should like lol.
The birdie song wS introduced to the UK charts by a director of Bass brewery. I was on holiday in Greece when I met him and his family and they played the birdie song every night. Ken asked for a copy of the song and sent it into.Radio one where the DJ(can't remember who) mentioned that it was sent in but Ken from Byfleet. Hearing this I recognised it was the Bass director I met on holiday. As to song I hate. I hate '"have I the right" by the Honeycombs. It makes me want to kl people when I hear it
Now I'm not entirely sure because I googled this ages ago and I never did get a satisfactory mesh between the lyrics I thought I heard and any song listed on the internet (a phenomenon I've encountered a number of times since) because all of the lyrics I could bear to hear were so damn generic. I worked at a place that had a station that would play all acoustic versions or covers of songs and I can honestly say that in my opinion, I can count the number of acoustic versions of songs that I like more than the original on two fingers and they're both the middle fingers. Anyway, one song in particular haunted me for at least a year and possibly more because I despised it so much that I recall the extremely whiny singer singing "in my head" 54 times throughout the song. I remember this vividly because it got to the point where I wanted to drive an ice pick into the singer's brain for every time I had to hear his nasally voice whinge "in my head". I don't know if this was the actual singer or not, but I THINK it was by Brent Dennen, but looking him and the song up now the lyrics don't match up, even though the basics rhythm does, so I don't know if I should continue to hate Mr. Dennen. (BTW, if you're wondering, they even had an acoustic version of "Tom's Diner" by Suzanne Vega, which was notable because Acoustic means it's only the singer and a guitar, but the original and thus the acoustic Tom's Diner both lack a guitar, and in both, there's sections in the song where the singer goes silent, which they did not trim, so many MANY times they would play this acoustic version of Tom's Diner and we'd think the radio had gone dead)
I had a neighbor from the city I grew up in, who would put a speaker out of his window, plug a mic and sing songs from La Oreja de Van Gogh. I liked the band, but that dude hitting the worst notes possibles ruined it for me. He did put his heart and soul on it, I'll give him that... but god was that awful singing.
I grew to hate La Oreja de Van Gogh cause my mom played their first album in the car for such a long time. I went back to it and they’re actually pretty good songs with not great production.
Some traumatic memories there! At a school disco in about 82 where we were asked to bring singles in, some idiot switched one of my singles for The Birdie Song. I'm still sore about it 😆 Later in the decade I ended up dating a 70s/80s style mobile DJ. He had them all *sob* My personal least favourites? Early 80s medley tracks like Jive Bunny. Aural purgatory!
I think my downright most loathed song is _Deck of Cards_ by Tex Ritter. It's basically a "spoken word" song, in that it's not even really a song, but a monologue recited over a tune. It's the story of a young soldier who was arrested for apparently playing cards in church. However, when questioned, he revealed that his deck of cards was what he used as a prayer book and goes on to explain, at length, how each value of card represented something from the Bible (for example- The Ace representing "the one true God") It's mawkish, sentimental and preachy. And my neighbour plays it a full blast at 5.30 in the morning!
We built this city is ingrained into my brain cuz we played it for marching band one year and had to practice over and over and over. Surprisingly, almost all of the other songs I've played for band did not get as annoying as we built this city
I’ve never really been one for listening to music, so don’t really know what my least favourite song is as I don’t pay much attention to what a song is or who’s singing it or whatever. Of the music I have liked in the past, I think my favourite song is probably ‘Bloody Battle of Verdun’ by Christopher Lee (yes that Christopher Lee). While it’s not something I’d listen to casually, special mention has to go to ‘The Touch’ by Stan Bush because of its use in the ‘86 Transformers film (aka the best Transformers film 😉) purely because it’s use serves to make both the song and the scenes it’s used in more epic than if either was used on their own.
I cannot stand any song from Macy Grey. Mostly because my mother would play one of her albums on repeat at full blast from 5-7 am 5 days a week while she got ready for work. This went on for almost a year(I was in middle school at the time) until I stole and destroyed the CD in the microwave. Being woken up every damn day to that whiskey soaked gravel gargling heroin addict voice just broke me. Its been 20 years and my eye still twitches when I hear that voice. i even mute the parade scene in the toby maguire spiderman movie to avoid hearing her voice.
I have three PLUS a store jingle because I spent a whole month being constantly bombarded with these particular songs ON LOOP because the manager for the grocery store was too daft to play a normal radio station/figure out how to funnel in the chain’s radio channel… Imagine if you will 4-6 days a week on average 8 hours a day being bombarded with: “Red Solo Cup” by Toby Keith “Boys of Summer” by Don Henley (the only one I could tolerate) “Pour Some Sugar on Me” by Def Leppard And then…the store’s summer time grilling jingle sang by random people who made sitting in a room full of screeching, overtired and teething babies sound like a heavenly choir. I’m pretty sure what my manager was doing was a war crime…to this day I still don’t know which sociopath finally decided 30 straight days of that was enough…
I will forever associate the Lumineers as a whole and more specifically their song Cleopatra with my mom having a rough day and playing them over on repeat on the TV at full volume. It drains my soul even though I assume this was not the original artists intent.
Least favorite songs, “What’s new Pussycat” by Tom Jones for just being extremely annoying. It’s only good contribution to society was “The Salt and Pepper Diner” bit by John Mulaney. “Anaconda” by Nicki Manoj, I could not understand why people liked it when it became popular. And finally “The Christmas Shoes” by New Song for just being morally repugnant.
Ive started something i call "hate learning" where i learn to sing and play the songs that annoy me the most. This love by maroon 5 was first on the list 😂
Nickelback is the band that I judge all mediocrity by...but they still have some great songs. I worked as a barback in a strip club in my youth and Rockstar is the greatest stripper song of all time. Plus like you said, they know people make fun of them, they accept it, and they keep going.
Anyone else remember 'North and South'? They were the band that had a TV series on CBBC before S Club 7, one of the lads had a green mohawk I believe? They were best known for the song 'No Sweat'.
The day I first heard the song Take It Easy by The Eagles will stick in my mind forever. On that day I heard it in the radio and asked my mum who was driving, “who wrote this? I need to know!” And she told me The Eagles. And I listened to all of their work. Love them. Other songs I love, Rasputien, How to save a life, tainted love, any Fin Bros or crowded house track, and Queen will stand the test of time. I like Greenday, and I don’t mind nickel back, REM, simple minds, hunters and collectors, roxette, wham, billy Joel, David Bowie, and the list goes on. I don’t care for abba even though they’re excellent musicians. At my work abba Is played at length and it grates on me.
You really need to watch the Big Fat Quiz of the 90's clip on RUclips featuring Mr. Blobby and a very traumatized Jack Whitehall, if you haven't done so already.
Least favourite, anything by sean paul. Something about his voice makes me irrationally angry. Genuinely prefer the blobby song to anything with his voice in (the backing tracks can be good) Best, too difficult to chose, but looking through my on-repeat / most listened to, ones that always gives me the feels and I'm happy to share are Laura, Bat For Lashes Pretty Little Head, Eliza Rickman Running up that hill, Placebo Panic Room, Au/Ra
Back when music was on MTV they killed so many songs for me such as killing me softly and until it sleeps. Media overkill really is how to make people not care anymore.
Billy Connolly once said there is no good or songs or movies etc, there is just stuff that is for you and stuff that isn' but might be for someone else Once you get your head working that way the world is a better place. Not Mr Blobby though, I spent a full Bank Holiday monday with that pink and yellow spotty Twat in 1994 in a nightclub playing that fucking song on a loop while kids were charged a fiver a go for 15 mins dancing around with him. I still have nightmares
Love to hear you guys do a dive into how Nickleback released a blatantly racist song in 2014 without anyone acknowledging it because it’s Nickleback. It’s called She Keeps Me Up
On the point of Black Lace and their gigs, having worked a few I can honestly say the only song that I fully hate, is their version of Delilah. My Welsh heart just cries in pain whenever they did that one live, so much so that I’m glad when they don’t do it.
Really surprised that when talking about synth wave you mentioned le brook who are awsome lads . But you missed out gunship as I'm sure just the music videos alone should have got your attention.
As someone who works in Applebee's it's that damn tick tok song they made for the special that was givin for a limited time, but nonestop they play the song. Like everyone in my workplace hates it so much.
Karl, some synthwave musicians I really like are: [1] Color Theory (album: Majesty of Our Broken Past)(and songs: Glory Days, We're Not Getting Any Younger) [2] Gunship ( songs: Tech Noir, When You Grow Up Your Heart Dies, Fly For Your Life, The Mountain, Woken Furies) [3] The Midnight (songs: Gloria, Days of Thunder) I hope if you haven't listened to them you find stuff you like.
When you were in an over heated high school weight room, at 9:30 am, on a friday and you have the song Havana by Camila Cabello, 5 times, in a row. You get a little volatile when it comes to temperment. At least there is a good cover that improves it. Also the song Havana loops halfway threw so it affectivly feels like you heard it 10 types.
Omg Nisha saying about the people who picked on people who liked rock music suddenly listening to the black parade, it brought back memories 🤣🤣🤣 literally not just that but also Call Me When Your Sober by Evanescence! I loved My Chemical Romance and was so excited for the album The Black Parade, but the song Welcome to the Black Parade and Teenagers were and still are sooooo overplayed that I really dont enjoy them anymore. I do still like I'm Not Okay as i dont feel like it was as overplayed, not in the general population anyway.
Least favorite song: Girls like you by maroon 5 Definitely not the worst sounding song but it's the most generic pop song I've heard. No matter how many times you listen to it, it feels like you've heard it a million times Favorite song: Not now by blink-182 The fuckin guitar riff man, it's just amazing, it can make anyone ascend into a higher plain of existence. I love Tom delonge's voice and the way the song picks up after the chorus.
19:03 That's the exact criticism I have for "Never turn back" by Crush 40 (from the Shadow the Hedgehog game). It's a cool song but it takes 42 seconds to really start
I got confused by the rules of what gets a clip or not. Some bands got mentioned but not a song so I guess that's fine. But then there's the quick lists of songs and only the last one gets one, that got me confused. Probably could have done well with a tally counter each time a song gets skipped. Though idk the process for uploading so maybe that would have been more work than just cutting out the music.
@@tygovisser5626 I understood that part but there were parts in the grey area, like when they don't know the name of the song but move on anyways. Did they not find a clip? Or was it claimed? Would have been nice for some sort of cue like a meme clip instead or a flashing mark.
And now, just to cook the souls of anyone in retail. "All I Want for Christmas" by Mariah Carrie, "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins, and pretty much every Wham hit. Drug store radio destroys music
Me and my dude had tickets to the damage plan show that dimebag got shot at. We got called into work and couldn’t go. Crazy how life plays out sometimes
Ignoring novelty acts, Simply Red. Apart from the Only Fools and Horses scene at the end of the episode with Rodney's wedding when Del Boy is on his own. They get let off for that.
Shawn Mendez - I can't write a song that's not about you is worse than every single song mentioned on this list hands down. Every time it plays at work I have to walk outside of the building and stand in the blazing sun fuming waiting for that piece of crap to end.
There was a band called North And South from the late 90s. Like S Club 7 they were also manufactured by a BBC Kids show but were thankfully forgotten inside of a year. Their biggest selling, but still terrible single was "I'm A Man, Not A Boy", which has a chorus that simply repeats the line "I'm a man not a boy" over and over again. It's worth looking up just for how bad it is.
"My Heart Will Go On" grinds my gears so badly. I can't be the only that abhors that song because how much it was overplayed. Basically anything by Katy Perry annoys me to no end. This disdain of Katy Perry songs is because unlike "My Heart Will Go On" I never liked any of them from the beginning on top of being overplayed.
I think what bugs me about _My Heart Will Go On_ is that everyone thinks that they can sing it. But nobody can do the key change. No matter how strong they start, as soon as they get to the second "Near, far, whereEV-Ar you are" they sound like a cat that's been stepped on!
Hey Karl, Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’ rocks, but it’s not their best song, just the most popular. I highly recommend you check out Who’s Crying Now and Separate Ways (Worlds Apart), with good headphones, one after another. Alternatively if you prefer some heavier tunes, Only The Young and Ask The Lonely are some of their later tunes, and the early albums are full of psychedelic/classic rock - very comparable to Deep Purple or Iron Butterfly. Some standouts from that era are Kohoutek and Of A Lifetime.
@@cephalogaming Maybe they did make them and later deleted, unlisted or privated them like what presumably happened to their videos on British Headlines.
@@Jedi_Spartan I couldn't find it so I just made the assumption it was just a segment from a video on a different topic, especially if it was one of the unedited cuts 🤷♂️ we all know hoe volatile Karl's attention span is 🤣
Mine would have to be All I want For Christmas by Mariah Carey. It's not for the song itself but everytime it starts playing around December, the empath in me cries out for the millions of retail workers across the world who have to listen to it on repeat every Christmas during the holiday rush. Gritting your teeth to shards for a fake smile while the beginning up tempo piano notes pound into your skull. It's a crime against the entire working class.
I don't think it's the bands (but a lot do) copyright music it's the Bands Labels that own the song that copyrights the music. When a music label releases a song from an artest they still own the song not the singer writer. Like publishers own a game not the people that make the game(developers). In some cases the music label owns the song ,not the singer or performers. Edit: My autistic son turned up Africa by Toto. It was great he shared his music love with us, and we jammed for the trip to his aunt's place. Music brings people together.
5ive got a bit of play in the 90's. One of the members left before they shot the music video for their last song so he was replaced with a cardboard cut-out.
I believe One Night in Bangkok and Anthem are the most overplayed songs from Chess, but damn is it a good concept album by Tim Rice, Benny Andersson, and Björn Ulvaeus. The musical that evolved from it is fine too. If you want good clips from one of the concerts, find the one where Karin Glenmark (standing by her brother Anders, who sings the chorus in One Night in Bangkok) start singing Svetlana's part of Endgame when Barbara Dickson fell ill during the concert and didn't enter the stage for that song. Another fun clip with Tommy Körberg (The Russian) is one where he performs Beauty & The Beast with Celine Dion. He kept dicking around during rehearsal saving his voice while she acted like a diva, making her believe he couldn't sing for shit, and her reaction when he starts wailing after the chorus she know she's been played and gives him the look of death before he laughingly gives her a rose.
Another song that annoys me is the Armand Van Helden remix of _Professional Widow_ by Tori Amos. What gets me is that it's the only song by Tori Amos that _ever_ gets played on the radio! And its not typical of Tori Amos' work, so if anyone hears this 90's dance banger and goes "I really like this! Let's look up more from this Tori Amos person" they're going to be vexed by her usual milieu of piano ballads.
I never liked 80s music (except bands like the cure or any punk) and my job always played 80s pop. 15 years later I finally don't hate it and even enjoy some of it. Always loved the 90s/early 2000s. Growing up, I hated Mmmbop but compared to today's music, I love it. Same thing happened with Kesha.
Glad to see someone give side of a bullet by Nickelback a shout-out. The song isn't about suicide though, it's about the murder of dimebag, so dimebag is posthumously shredding a guitar on a song about him being murdered. That's pretty metal AF honestly.
I'm 37 and Ssussdeio is legit one of my favorite songs, I was literally just playing along to it on the drums a couple days ago. Who *doesn't* love Phil Collins??
I don't recall the actual title but I HATE the song about "they paved paradise to put up a parking lot". Doesn't matter which performer sings it, I hate both versions. Reason being is that most receive the song as an environmental message but if you actually look at the lyrics, it reads more as the singer being pissy that their significant other leaves them because their living room window now has a view of a crappy parking lot rather than a bunch of trees. Again, the singer is pissy that their boy/girlfriend left them because their property was devalued. I also hate the "don't you put it in your mouth" song from a psa commercial.
I have one song I really, REALLY hate, "God Bless the USA" by Lee Greenwood. Why? Because when I was stationed in Germany our Sergeant Major thought it would be a great inspiration for the troops on post that every day, twice a day; once in the morning after reveille and once at night after retreat the song would be played over the base's loudspeakers. You could not get away from it. I suffered through that for three years... THREE YEARS!!! I believe that is some kind of torture.
Black and Yellow by Wiz Khalifa. I did not like this song when it first came, but I ignored it and went on with my day. The problem was that his home town Football Team went to the Super Bowl that year and they took this GD song as their rallying theme. And then it was everywhere. It was on TV, it was on the radio on nearly every channel. The used it for the Super Bowl ads, other commercials, some other rap made a remake of the song for the other team that was going to the Super Bowl, making two versions of the song people kept requesting. I was surrounded by a song I didn't like to begin with that just played everywhere I went. It drove me insane. So, yeah, I hate 'Black and Yellow' in a way I hate no other song.
honestly for me its pretty much any hit imagine dragons songs because they never get played once or twice. they're absolutely great the first 3 times you hear them but you never just hear them 3 times you hear them until your ears bleed. Can I sing all their hits by heart? yes. do i ever wanna hear them again? hell no! also the image of carl dressed up in a suit reading z-rex absolutely killed me.
2 great genres that are EXTREMELY underrated (IMHO) are 90s R&B and Blues music, aka where the "B" is from in "R&B" (FYI, the "R" is for "Rhythm"; in fact, there was a genre somewhere between Blues and R&B called Rhythm and Blues)
Growing up me and my friend's were all into different music. I was indie/rock, there was the raver, the Take That fan, and the East 17 fan. Only album that we could listen to with no arguments was Keith Chegwin's The worst Album in the World... Ever. Those were great times.
That Gotye song, believe it or not, was actually used as "evidence" in the Peter Greste trial (years ago, in Egypt, several Al Jazeera journalists were arrested and put on trial for terrorism charges and the whole court was what we Aussies term a "kangaroo court". The Egyptian judges put heaps of fake evidence to convict the journos and that song was included in there... I might hate Al Jazeera with a passion due to their lack of ethics but those journalists did not deserve to get treated the way they did.
I was traumatised by the song Last Christmas by Wham. I worked retail for way too long and for the Holidays we had Christmas songs on repeat. And after some time I just could not stand the whiny voices anymore.
Try having to listen to 5 different versions. Every hated that song by the end of the Christmas season and they accidently kept the Christmas music on until February
Yup every day in December. And then the very next day, all over it starts.
This, but Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You”. The only version I can stand is a parody from the perspective of a stalker/kidnapper.
I'd rather have an entire Christmas tree shoved up my ass than hear that song one more time
I will literally hibernate through the entire winter
I suffered through Shakira's horrible off key singing every at work for more five years! I never liked her music since she started in Spanish. It is bad enough to hear her butcher songs while "singing" Spanish then to hear her also butcher songs in English for years because the radio station on where I work played her music for years.
"Achy Breaky Heart" by Billy Ray Cyrus is the first song I ever remember disliking as a kid. Growing up in the American southwest during the 90's that song was inescapable and it's annoyed me since kindergarten. A lot of country hits from that era are nostalgic for me but that song can fuck right off.
My friend would use all her money (at 5 years old) to play that song on repeat on the Pizza Hut jukebox. I don't hate it anymore but I did for 20 years
@@darladay4766 That sounds like the John Mulaney "Salt and Pepper Diner" standup story but so, so much worse lol
In that case you would probably enjoy "Achy Breaky Song" by Weird Al Yankovic
@@acerumble Weird Al is the best!
@@GonzoCiosain oh no. I've been so selfish. I knew my father and I were completely driven mad but I never considered the 1 or 2 other families at a time (small town) that might've been there. We must've killed so much business. That's hilariously horrible. She'd play it so many times there'd sometimes be 3 plays left when we were leaving. I can't imagine, the poor workers must be traumatized.
We had a neighbour, who played loud music late in the evenings. It stopped after we discovered we could connect to their sound bar through the wall and play Barbie Girl at full volume. They also secured their sound bar after that.
I also remember an episode of shooting stars where people had to guess the person from short clues. Bob Mortimer says "pink spotty rubber twat".
The contestant answered Mr Blobby within a second.
The song Happy by Pharrell Williams I can’t stand listening to even though it is a pretty good song. I remember the time when it was being played what felt like 24/7 and it just ruined it for me. I think every person will have that song. The one that’s good but was played so much you don’t like listening to it.
I stopped going out to bars for like a whole year because of that song.
yea the first few times its fun but after a while its like "shut the fuck up"
I had to sing it in musik class every fucking week for half a year.
I hate every bloody second of the song Happy.
@@quasnof I've never been more glad that I graduated in the 90's than after reading your comment. That must have been Hell.
If you think that was bad tell that to Pharrell during filming of the music video. He quite literally listen to that song and filming it for like 24 hours.
I was traumatized by Funky Town while working in a movie theater when Shrek 2 was out. I heard that damn song at least 16-20 times a day.
A lot of people are traumarized by Funky Town, but for other reasons now

I have never felt so perfectly in sync with a RUclips channel as when I made the EXACT same sound as Karl and Nisha when Unnamed Friend said they didn't like MCR hahaha. On that note, hard for me to think of specific songs just off the top of my head but for an overplayed song I USED to like: Just Give Me a Reason by P!NK and Nate Ruess. I adored the song but IT. WAS. EVERYWHERE.
Years ago I went to see My Chemical Romance in concert. They were absolutely amazing but their set had to be postponed a bit because of Jared fucking Leto. Their opener was 30 Seconds to Mars and during their set dumbass Leto decided to climb some of the stage rigging, but it didn't appear to be a pre-arranged thing because when he did a bunch of security guards rushed onto the stage to stand below him while he kept climbing higher and higher. Then a piece of rigging broke off and he almost fell. Once he was finally down the crowd started booing him. Then the venue operators had to check the rigging to make sure it was still safe for MCR to perform and we all kept chanting how angry we were at Leto for making us wait an additional 20 minutes. Such a dick.
Classic Morbius shenanigans, what a moron.
Lyrically and audibly no song disgusts me more than blurred lines
I agree. Disgusting lyrics. Boring song
I am a simple man, i see a fact feind thumbnail containing mr blobby, i click
Same
ditto...
Side note, there's a period in my life where I was so negative about music. I was one of those people who thought "Good" music happened before I was born. I don't think it's possible to be more wrong about something, and I'm a little embarrassed at how long it took to see the worth in modern music both for myself and other people. A good song is made great by the listeners feelings towards it, and I'll go out of my way to find stories about any song at all.
Also Karl and Nisha, you are both awesome people and your channel is one of the best on RUclips
I used to be one of those pretentious ass holes too lol. It's good that we were able to grow & acknowledge those failings, many don't.
I was the same for a very long time, I’m really trying to let myself give musicians a shot now before immediately hating on them before hearing any of their music. Heard Harry Styles for the first time recently and I gotta say I really was an asshole for no reason haha. People like how I used to be are so insufferable I’m so glad I grew up.
In a primary school in 2000, the leavers did a performance of "Reach for the Stars" together. So hopeful and earnest and innocent. The song has had the power to reduce me to happy/snivelling tears ever since.
Reach for the stars is an unironically great song and that is a hill I am willing to die on
There's a cover of Let It Snow that has played in the store I work at the past three Christmases, but instead of any other musical instrument, it has a slow, plodding djembe(?) backing akin to those used in old cartoons. It just doesn't work for the song, and it's very dissonant.
Djembe?
@@garethmitchell7723 I believe that would be it.
I do weird genre-bending electroclassical holiday tunes and I just spent like ten minutes trying to remember if I've done that song or not because that sounds *VERY* much like something I'd do 😂
"Santa Baby" by Madonna. Every time I hear that my skin crawls. It's the creepy baby voice that does it!
Here’s a very obscure 90s girl band: In the wake of the Spice Girls, record execs tried to fling together groups to rake in money. The worst was one called Vanilla. They released one song, no way, that had them ‘singing’ the Muppets’ Mna mna to the weakest beat ever! I could only find one clip of them on Top of the Pop’s and all comments are turned off…t
The music video is on RUclips, called no way no way
@@Coralori yeah, looked it up after I typed the comment. Comments are allowed now and they’re hilarious, worth looking it up for them alone.
When he first asked the question at the beginning of the video this was the song that immediately popped into my head. Shocked to see it mentioned here but I guess that proves how awful it was 😅
@@seanbear22 once you hear something so awful, you can’t unhear it. 🙉
It has been years since I've listened to the radio, resulting in me not having a song I hate. I've forgotten all of them because I only either listened to them once or it has been years since I last heard them. Instead I have a "Good Music" playlist on my channel which I use for all my listening needs.
It took me like an hour to watch this video. Everytime they would mention a new song, I'd think, "oh! I love that!" Then I'd go listen to said song and come back. Only for them to mention another banger. Rinse repeat
My most hated song has to be All About That Bass by Meghan Trainor. It wasn't my jam to begin with but I was working a job where the radio was always on so after having to listen to it 4-5 times a day for 5 weeks, I can't hear it anymore without feeling physically ill.
For the guitars sounding like lasers it could be one of or a combination of three effects being flanger, phaser and / or chorus
Two songs that are in my "overplayed to death" list are "My heart will go on" from Titanic and Last Christmas by Wham.
I can put up with them but I'm not going out listen to them by choice.
On a positive note though Agadoo is used in one of my favourite adverts of all time, A voiceover tells us that Agadoo was a hit for Black Lace twice and then gives us the tag line "Recycling rubbish works."
Classic.
Mr brighside, fantastic song - sick of hearing it at pubs
'Shake it Off' and 'Happy' make me feel physically ill.
Oh come on, we forgot Mariah's - All I want for Christmas?! I don't know if it's that repetitive on UK radios, but it damn sure is in Bulgaria every December. And speaking of musical torture, my roommate back in the day used to taunt me with Gangnam Style 😁
One Night in Bangkok isn't synthwave, though, it's the genuine article. Unless Murray Head rerecorded it for some reason? Anyway, if you love the 80s sound, check out the Starmania album - it's from 1990, but that doesn't stop it from being one of the most 80s things I've ever heard.
Also I loathe Ice Ice Baby for always tricking me into thinking, for a few seconds, that it's Under Pressure.
Another Starmania fan...I never thought I would see the day
(There are other versions too; the original 70s version is fun and the 1998 version is the one I first heard after picking it up in a thrift shop.) =)
@@crappozappo Makes me wish I spoke French. I first encountered the handful of songs from it on Tim Rice's "I Know Them So Well" album, then only much later found the rest of the English tracks.
From what I can tell, it would have crushed Jonathan Larson if he'd encountered it...
Crazy Frog. Grew up in Blackpool and there was a period where that song just seemed to follow me around.
This. That fucking song ruined the otherwise super dope Beverly Hills Cop theme for me.
A Team by Ed Sheran. it was the song that introduced me to him as an artist. and then i made the mistake of downloading it to my phone. any time i let my music app stop running in the background and then start playing music in my car, that song plays. it’s so annoying.
I'm kind of weird sometimes with music.
1) Hate a song
2) Play it ironically
3) Love song genuinely
Having moved to Alabama, it would be Sweet Home Alabama. Now I play that song every time I drive back home and cross the state line.
I was in the pub last night and they where playing 70's songs.
I was singing along to almost every song. I am 32 lol.
Some 50 year old man said i dont know the songs because i wasnt born lol.
I said how do i know the words then?
Ended that argument before it started lol.
Also when i was younger, it was cool not to like nickleback. I bought silverside up lol. You like what you like and shouldnt let anyone else dictate what you should like lol.
The birdie song wS introduced to the UK charts by a director of Bass brewery. I was on holiday in Greece when I met him and his family and they played the birdie song every night. Ken asked for a copy of the song and sent it into.Radio one where the DJ(can't remember who) mentioned that it was sent in but Ken from Byfleet. Hearing this I recognised it was the Bass director I met on holiday. As to song I hate. I hate '"have I the right" by the Honeycombs. It makes me want to kl people when I hear it
Now I'm not entirely sure because I googled this ages ago and I never did get a satisfactory mesh between the lyrics I thought I heard and any song listed on the internet (a phenomenon I've encountered a number of times since) because all of the lyrics I could bear to hear were so damn generic.
I worked at a place that had a station that would play all acoustic versions or covers of songs and I can honestly say that in my opinion, I can count the number of acoustic versions of songs that I like more than the original on two fingers and they're both the middle fingers.
Anyway, one song in particular haunted me for at least a year and possibly more because I despised it so much that I recall the extremely whiny singer singing "in my head" 54 times throughout the song. I remember this vividly because it got to the point where I wanted to drive an ice pick into the singer's brain for every time I had to hear his nasally voice whinge "in my head". I don't know if this was the actual singer or not, but I THINK it was by Brent Dennen, but looking him and the song up now the lyrics don't match up, even though the basics rhythm does, so I don't know if I should continue to hate Mr. Dennen.
(BTW, if you're wondering, they even had an acoustic version of "Tom's Diner" by Suzanne Vega, which was notable because Acoustic means it's only the singer and a guitar, but the original and thus the acoustic Tom's Diner both lack a guitar, and in both, there's sections in the song where the singer goes silent, which they did not trim, so many MANY times they would play this acoustic version of Tom's Diner and we'd think the radio had gone dead)
I had a neighbor from the city I grew up in, who would put a speaker out of his window, plug a mic and sing songs from La Oreja de Van Gogh.
I liked the band, but that dude hitting the worst notes possibles ruined it for me. He did put his heart and soul on it, I'll give him that... but god was that awful singing.
I grew to hate La Oreja de Van Gogh cause my mom played their first album in the car for such a long time. I went back to it and they’re actually pretty good songs with not great production.
Some traumatic memories there! At a school disco in about 82 where we were asked to bring singles in, some idiot switched one of my singles for The Birdie Song. I'm still sore about it 😆 Later in the decade I ended up dating a 70s/80s style mobile DJ. He had them all *sob*
My personal least favourites? Early 80s medley tracks like Jive Bunny. Aural purgatory!
I think my downright most loathed song is _Deck of Cards_ by Tex Ritter.
It's basically a "spoken word" song, in that it's not even really a song, but a monologue recited over a tune.
It's the story of a young soldier who was arrested for apparently playing cards in church. However, when questioned, he revealed that his deck of cards was what he used as a prayer book and goes on to explain, at length, how each value of card represented something from the Bible (for example- The Ace representing "the one true God")
It's mawkish, sentimental and preachy.
And my neighbour plays it a full blast at 5.30 in the morning!
We built this city is ingrained into my brain cuz we played it for marching band one year and had to practice over and over and over. Surprisingly, almost all of the other songs I've played for band did not get as annoying as we built this city
I’ve never really been one for listening to music, so don’t really know what my least favourite song is as I don’t pay much attention to what a song is or who’s singing it or whatever. Of the music I have liked in the past, I think my favourite song is probably ‘Bloody Battle of Verdun’ by Christopher Lee (yes that Christopher Lee). While it’s not something I’d listen to casually, special mention has to go to ‘The Touch’ by Stan Bush because of its use in the ‘86 Transformers film (aka the best Transformers film 😉) purely because it’s use serves to make both the song and the scenes it’s used in more epic than if either was used on their own.
I cannot stand any song from Macy Grey. Mostly because my mother would play one of her albums on repeat at full blast from 5-7 am 5 days a week while she got ready for work. This went on for almost a year(I was in middle school at the time) until I stole and destroyed the CD in the microwave. Being woken up every damn day to that whiskey soaked gravel gargling heroin addict voice just broke me. Its been 20 years and my eye still twitches when I hear that voice. i even mute the parade scene in the toby maguire spiderman movie to avoid hearing her voice.
I have three PLUS a store jingle because I spent a whole month being constantly bombarded with these particular songs ON LOOP because the manager for the grocery store was too daft to play a normal radio station/figure out how to funnel in the chain’s radio channel…
Imagine if you will 4-6 days a week on average 8 hours a day being bombarded with:
“Red Solo Cup” by Toby Keith
“Boys of Summer” by Don Henley (the only one I could tolerate)
“Pour Some Sugar on Me” by Def Leppard
And then…the store’s summer time grilling jingle sang by random people who made sitting in a room full of screeching, overtired and teething babies sound like a heavenly choir.
I’m pretty sure what my manager was doing was a war crime…to this day I still don’t know which sociopath finally decided 30 straight days of that was enough…
I will forever associate the Lumineers as a whole and more specifically their song Cleopatra with my mom having a rough day and playing them over on repeat on the TV at full volume. It drains my soul even though I assume this was not the original artists intent.
My least favorite songs are ones that got overplayed when I was growing up, especially "When Doves Cry" by Prince & "I Ran" by A Flock of Seagulls.
Was gonna say how... but Ed Sheeran is the equivalent to me and this makes total sense.
A Sock of Fleagulls :P
Least favorite songs, “What’s new Pussycat” by Tom Jones for just being extremely annoying. It’s only good contribution to society was “The Salt and Pepper Diner” bit by John Mulaney. “Anaconda” by Nicki Manoj, I could not understand why people liked it when it became popular. And finally “The Christmas Shoes” by New Song for just being morally repugnant.
Ive started something i call "hate learning" where i learn to sing and play the songs that annoy me the most. This love by maroon 5 was first on the list 😂
Nickelback is the band that I judge all mediocrity by...but they still have some great songs. I worked as a barback in a strip club in my youth and Rockstar is the greatest stripper song of all time. Plus like you said, they know people make fun of them, they accept it, and they keep going.
Thanks to family guy I can easily say the musician whose music I hate most is Conway Twitty
I KNOW they play "all I want for Christmas is you" by mariah carey on repeat, in Hell.
Anyone else remember 'North and South'? They were the band that had a TV series on CBBC before S Club 7, one of the lads had a green mohawk I believe? They were best known for the song 'No Sweat'.
The day I first heard the song Take It Easy by The Eagles will stick in my mind forever. On that day I heard it in the radio and asked my mum who was driving, “who wrote this? I need to know!” And she told me The Eagles. And I listened to all of their work. Love them. Other songs I love, Rasputien, How to save a life, tainted love, any Fin Bros or crowded house track, and Queen will stand the test of time. I like Greenday, and I don’t mind nickel back, REM, simple minds, hunters and collectors, roxette, wham, billy Joel, David Bowie, and the list goes on. I don’t care for abba even though they’re excellent musicians. At my work abba Is played at length and it grates on me.
I never knew about Mr. Blobby before seeing this video, and for the rest of my days, he will haunt my every nightmare.
You really need to watch the Big Fat Quiz of the 90's clip on RUclips featuring Mr. Blobby and a very traumatized Jack Whitehall, if you haven't done so already.
Least favourite, anything by sean paul. Something about his voice makes me irrationally angry. Genuinely prefer the blobby song to anything with his voice in (the backing tracks can be good)
Best, too difficult to chose, but looking through my on-repeat / most listened to, ones that always gives me the feels and I'm happy to share are
Laura, Bat For Lashes
Pretty Little Head, Eliza Rickman
Running up that hill, Placebo
Panic Room, Au/Ra
Back when music was on MTV they killed so many songs for me such as killing me softly and until it sleeps. Media overkill really is how to make people not care anymore.
Billy Connolly once said there is no good or songs or movies etc, there is just stuff that is for you and stuff that isn' but might be for someone else Once you get your head working that way the world is a better place. Not Mr Blobby though, I spent a full Bank Holiday monday with that pink and yellow spotty Twat in 1994 in a nightclub playing that fucking song on a loop while kids were charged a fiver a go for 15 mins dancing around with him. I still have nightmares
Love to hear you guys do a dive into how Nickleback released a blatantly racist song in 2014 without anyone acknowledging it because it’s Nickleback. It’s called She Keeps Me Up
Call me naive but can you explain how that song's racist?
On the point of Black Lace and their gigs, having worked a few I can honestly say the only song that I fully hate, is their version of Delilah. My Welsh heart just cries in pain whenever they did that one live, so much so that I’m glad when they don’t do it.
Really surprised that when talking about synth wave you mentioned le brook who are awsome lads . But you missed out gunship as I'm sure just the music videos alone should have got your attention.
As someone who works in Applebee's it's that damn tick tok song they made for the special that was givin for a limited time, but nonestop they play the song. Like everyone in my workplace hates it so much.
Karl, some synthwave musicians I really like are:
[1] Color Theory (album: Majesty of Our Broken Past)(and songs: Glory Days, We're Not Getting Any Younger)
[2] Gunship ( songs: Tech Noir, When You Grow Up Your Heart Dies, Fly For Your Life, The Mountain, Woken Furies)
[3] The Midnight (songs: Gloria, Days of Thunder)
I hope if you haven't listened to them you find stuff you like.
The first album I ever bought was the black parade! Had no idea what I was getting myself into, but I was hooked
How is it physically possible for one Skinnyjeans-for-the-Smallwood-silhouette to not like Black Parade?
I say good day, sir!
Have you ever considered doing a wiki video on one of those ‘most liked/disliked RUclips videos’ wiki lists like this one
When you were in an over heated high school weight room, at 9:30 am, on a friday and you have the song Havana by Camila Cabello, 5 times, in a row. You get a little volatile when it comes to temperment. At least there is a good cover that improves it. Also the song Havana loops halfway threw so it affectivly feels like you heard it 10 types.
Omg Nisha saying about the people who picked on people who liked rock music suddenly listening to the black parade, it brought back memories 🤣🤣🤣 literally not just that but also Call Me When Your Sober by Evanescence!
I loved My Chemical Romance and was so excited for the album The Black Parade, but the song Welcome to the Black Parade and Teenagers were and still are sooooo overplayed that I really dont enjoy them anymore. I do still like I'm Not Okay as i dont feel like it was as overplayed, not in the general population anyway.
Synthwave/vaporwave is a fantastic genre.
Resonance is nostalgia incarnate.
Least favorite song: Girls like you by maroon 5
Definitely not the worst sounding song but it's the most generic pop song I've heard. No matter how many times you listen to it, it feels like you've heard it a million times
Favorite song: Not now by blink-182
The fuckin guitar riff man, it's just amazing, it can make anyone ascend into a higher plain of existence. I love Tom delonge's voice and the way the song picks up after the chorus.
I can back you on not liking girls like you
Listened to it like twice and got more bored than all the garbage rap that litters top music charts
19:03 That's the exact criticism I have for "Never turn back" by Crush 40 (from the Shadow the Hedgehog game). It's a cool song but it takes 42 seconds to really start
I got confused by the rules of what gets a clip or not. Some bands got mentioned but not a song so I guess that's fine. But then there's the quick lists of songs and only the last one gets one, that got me confused. Probably could have done well with a tally counter each time a song gets skipped. Though idk the process for uploading so maybe that would have been more work than just cutting out the music.
Watch the video he literally explains why some songs may not get played
@@tygovisser5626 I understood that part but there were parts in the grey area, like when they don't know the name of the song but move on anyways. Did they not find a clip? Or was it claimed? Would have been nice for some sort of cue like a meme clip instead or a flashing mark.
And now, just to cook the souls of anyone in retail. "All I Want for Christmas" by Mariah Carrie, "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins, and pretty much every Wham hit. Drug store radio destroys music
Me and my dude had tickets to the damage plan show that dimebag got shot at. We got called into work and couldn’t go. Crazy how life plays out sometimes
Ignoring novelty acts, Simply Red. Apart from the Only Fools and Horses scene at the end of the episode with Rodney's wedding when Del Boy is on his own. They get let off for that.
If I have to hear Happy one more time- im smashing whatever is playing it, even if it's a person singing
I'm guessing that for Karl, most progressive rock is just right out, when the intro is as long as a regular single.
I use Barbie Girl to annoy my wife. I somehow have by osmosis learned the lyrics.

Shawn Mendez - I can't write a song that's not about you is worse than every single song mentioned on this list hands down. Every time it plays at work I have to walk outside of the building and stand in the blazing sun fuming waiting for that piece of crap to end.
There was a band called North And South from the late 90s. Like S Club 7 they were also manufactured by a BBC Kids show but were thankfully forgotten inside of a year. Their biggest selling, but still terrible single was "I'm A Man, Not A Boy", which has a chorus that simply repeats the line "I'm a man not a boy" over and over again. It's worth looking up just for how bad it is.
The story behind journey's new lead is so wholesome.
"My Heart Will Go On" grinds my gears so badly. I can't be the only that abhors that song because how much it was overplayed.
Basically anything by Katy Perry annoys me to no end. This disdain of Katy Perry songs is because unlike "My Heart Will Go On" I never liked any of them from the beginning on top of being overplayed.
I think what bugs me about _My Heart Will Go On_ is that everyone thinks that they can sing it. But nobody can do the key change. No matter how strong they start, as soon as they get to the second "Near, far, whereEV-Ar you are" they sound like a cat that's been stepped on!
Hey Karl, Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’ rocks, but it’s not their best song, just the most popular. I highly recommend you check out Who’s Crying Now and Separate Ways (Worlds Apart), with good headphones, one after another.
Alternatively if you prefer some heavier tunes, Only The Young and Ask The Lonely are some of their later tunes, and the early albums are full of psychedelic/classic rock - very comparable to Deep Purple or Iron Butterfly. Some standouts from that era are Kohoutek and Of A Lifetime.
Couldn't escape My Heart Will Go On on the radio when Titanic was a hit.
I hate that song so much!
@@positronium3525 feel ya it got the over play method hard.

An obscure group from the 90's, MxPx. They were actually from one of the towns near where I live.
I don't know how obscure they were, but All Saints and The Corrs were fun for a song each. (I can't name more songs by either.)
Mine would have to be All I want For Christmas by Mariah Carey. It's not for the song itself but everytime it starts playing around December, the empath in me cries out for the millions of retail workers across the world who have to listen to it on repeat every Christmas during the holiday rush. Gritting your teeth to shards for a fake smile while the beginning up tempo piano notes pound into your skull. It's a crime against the entire working class.
I don't think it's the bands (but a lot do) copyright music it's the Bands Labels that own the song that copyrights the music.
When a music label releases a song from an artest they still own the song not the singer writer. Like publishers own a game not the people that make the game(developers).
In some cases the music label owns the song ,not the singer or performers.
Edit: My autistic son turned up Africa by Toto. It was great he shared his music love with us, and we jammed for the trip to his aunt's place.
Music brings people together.
Meet you Half way by the black eyed peas is a abysmal song and was constantly on the radio when it came out absolute seething rage when it played
5ive got a bit of play in the 90's. One of the members left before they shot the music video for their last song so he was replaced with a cardboard cut-out.
I believe One Night in Bangkok and Anthem are the most overplayed songs from Chess, but damn is it a good concept album by Tim Rice, Benny Andersson, and Björn Ulvaeus. The musical that evolved from it is fine too.
If you want good clips from one of the concerts, find the one where Karin Glenmark (standing by her brother Anders, who sings the chorus in One Night in Bangkok) start singing Svetlana's part of Endgame when Barbara Dickson fell ill during the concert and didn't enter the stage for that song.
Another fun clip with Tommy Körberg (The Russian) is one where he performs Beauty & The Beast with Celine Dion. He kept dicking around during rehearsal saving his voice while she acted like a diva, making her believe he couldn't sing for shit, and her reaction when he starts wailing after the chorus she know she's been played and gives him the look of death before he laughingly gives her a rose.
But....does the city finally know what it isnt getting?!
Another song that annoys me is the Armand Van Helden remix of _Professional Widow_ by Tori Amos.
What gets me is that it's the only song by Tori Amos that _ever_ gets played on the radio!
And its not typical of Tori Amos' work, so if anyone hears this 90's dance banger and goes "I really like this! Let's look up more from this Tori Amos person" they're going to be vexed by her usual milieu of piano ballads.
I never liked 80s music (except bands like the cure or any punk) and my job always played 80s pop. 15 years later I finally don't hate it and even enjoy some of it. Always loved the 90s/early 2000s. Growing up, I hated Mmmbop but compared to today's music, I love it. Same thing happened with Kesha.
Glad to see someone give side of a bullet by Nickelback a shout-out. The song isn't about suicide though, it's about the murder of dimebag, so dimebag is posthumously shredding a guitar on a song about him being murdered. That's pretty metal AF honestly.
Thank you for this video.
No. 1 hated for me Hotel California. F that song.
I'm 37 and Ssussdeio is legit one of my favorite songs, I was literally just playing along to it on the drums a couple days ago. Who *doesn't* love Phil Collins??
I don't recall the actual title but I HATE the song about "they paved paradise to put up a parking lot". Doesn't matter which performer sings it, I hate both versions. Reason being is that most receive the song as an environmental message but if you actually look at the lyrics, it reads more as the singer being pissy that their significant other leaves them because their living room window now has a view of a crappy parking lot rather than a bunch of trees.
Again, the singer is pissy that their boy/girlfriend left them because their property was devalued.
I also hate the "don't you put it in your mouth" song from a psa commercial.
I could happily go the rest of my life never hearing the song "Sweet Home Alabama" ever again.
I have one song I really, REALLY hate, "God Bless the USA" by Lee Greenwood. Why? Because when I was stationed in Germany our Sergeant Major thought it would be a great inspiration for the troops on post that every day, twice a day; once in the morning after reveille and once at night after retreat the song would be played over the base's loudspeakers. You could not get away from it. I suffered through that for three years... THREE YEARS!!! I believe that is some kind of torture.
Black and Yellow by Wiz Khalifa. I did not like this song when it first came, but I ignored it and went on with my day. The problem was that his home town Football Team went to the Super Bowl that year and they took this GD song as their rallying theme. And then it was everywhere. It was on TV, it was on the radio on nearly every channel. The used it for the Super Bowl ads, other commercials, some other rap made a remake of the song for the other team that was going to the Super Bowl, making two versions of the song people kept requesting. I was surrounded by a song I didn't like to begin with that just played everywhere I went. It drove me insane. So, yeah, I hate 'Black and Yellow' in a way I hate no other song.
I remember the group Nobody's Angel. I think they were a Disney group. They even showed up on an episode of Boy Meets World
honestly for me its pretty much any hit imagine dragons songs because they never get played once or twice. they're absolutely great the first 3 times you hear them but you never just hear them 3 times you hear them until your ears bleed. Can I sing all their hits by heart? yes. do i ever wanna hear them again? hell no!
also the image of carl dressed up in a suit reading z-rex absolutely killed me.
2 great genres that are EXTREMELY underrated (IMHO) are 90s R&B and Blues music, aka where the "B" is from in "R&B" (FYI, the "R" is for "Rhythm"; in fact, there was a genre somewhere between Blues and R&B called Rhythm and Blues)
Minnie the moocher, moonlight densetsu, the cult of dionysus, sweet victory
First 4 songs on my work playlist to get an idea.
Growing up me and my friend's were all into different music. I was indie/rock, there was the raver, the Take That fan, and the East 17 fan. Only album that we could listen to with no arguments was Keith Chegwin's The worst Album in the World... Ever. Those were great times.
To be fair, "I'm Not Okay" is probably one of MCR's weakest songs
I fucking HATE "Somebody That I Used To Know." by Gotye. I hate it to such an immeasurable degree.
The star wars parody is somehow better and has supplanted the music and the video in my mind.
That Gotye song, believe it or not, was actually used as "evidence" in the Peter Greste trial (years ago, in Egypt, several Al Jazeera journalists were arrested and put on trial for terrorism charges and the whole court was what we Aussies term a "kangaroo court". The Egyptian judges put heaps of fake evidence to convict the journos and that song was included in there...
I might hate Al Jazeera with a passion due to their lack of ethics but those journalists did not deserve to get treated the way they did.
I absolutely hate the songs “Dance Monkey” by Tones and I. It’s so annoying.
I'd never heard of the song until Frog Leap Studios covered it. Their video is a blast, so I enjoy that version.
