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!!!

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.
