Which song gets you annoyed the instant that you hear it?

...... And do you just roll your eyes and sigh, or yell and smash the radio?

My trigger gets pulled when I hear "Come on Eileen" by Dexys Midnight Runners.
It's always played at old school family parties, and it cannot be danced to!!!

I also can't stand c'mon Eileen
Most overrated

@LikeMind:

Nor as a singer: I've no idea what they are singing about beyond a woman called Eileen, because the diction is so poor!

Any rap and what is sold as "r&b" but has never been anywhere near a real Rhythm-&-Blues band and can barely count to 4 in sets of 12, let alone sing it!

Oh, single song... hard to choose... [i]My Way[/i] (partly because I don't like Frank Sinatra's voice and never rated him as a singer even by the standards of his genre - he [i]speaks[/i] the words), [i]Supercal...atrocious[/i] (etc, from [i]Mary Poppins[/i]), anything from [i]The Sound of Music[/i]...

Oh dear... Quite a list! Styles rather than individual songs though.

[i]My Way[/i] grates for me by its studied illiteracy and egotism; but I never thought Frank Sinatra a singer anyway. He matches the notes and rhythms but speaks rather than sings. Some of his contemporaries, like Tony Bennett, were better as singers, though I don't like that crooning and big-band music anyway.

I don't like much jazz singing because it seems too often an excuse for not being able to sing. Same with rap, which is mainly just blokes shouting about nothing in particular, though to be fair I can't make out most of the words.

I know it's old timey, but I have to say "Turkey In The Straw"! Even when I was a little kid, it ground me to a halt.......

@LikeMind Yeah, it really sucks!
fancyboy · 61-69, M
"Takin' Care Of Business". Suckiest song ever.

Literally anything by Ariana Grande. If I hear her voice come over the radio, I switch stations.
davidstorm · C
[these boots where made for walking and thats what they will do] makes me screem in hate of this song
"I've Never Been To Me." All others pale in comparison.
supersnipe · 61-69, M
@akapol1955 Haven't heard that one in years. All I can remember about it is that I didn't like it.
ArishMell · 70-79, M
Seems a lot of the criticism is not of the lyrics, but of the singer. In my case it can be either.

One of the worst covers I have heard, of one of my favourite songs too, was also the most surprisingly bad considering it was by an opera singer - a genre requiring extremely high technical and artistic abilities.
