Your most hated single song?

Tough parameters, but I'll have to go with All The Single Ladies by Beyonce.

There are so many! One that springs to mind is Hippie Chick by Soho. It sampled the intro to How Soon is Now by the Smiths and every time it came on the radio it would get my attention until the shit dance beat bollocks came in.

No.No,youre not.

You're really not. I cannot understand how the same band that recorded Geno could spoodge out this twee drivel.

My sister in law's best friend was Eireen and my brother rejoiced in tunelessly singing come on Eireen over and over and over. I'm fine with the original but have come to hate it by association.

I Don't Want to Miss a Thing by Aerosmith.

It's not my most hated but it really does deserve a mention.  How the band who wrote and recorded Dream On could end up putting their names to something so utterly bland, boring and by-the-numbers I'll never know.  The only slight saving grace is that they didn't actually write it, but presumably there were no guns held to heads forcing them to record the fucking thing.

The original recording is bad enough, but it's compounded by the fact it's in that bloody awful shite Armageddon, plus it's been mauled by endless idiots on American Idol and the X Factor whenever they have a "rock week".

Second that

wouldn't it be great if Trumps adds Coldplay and Radiohead to his list of 'not welcome in the USA'

Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now - Starship.

Ear AIDS. Unadulterated sonic cock yoghurt from beginning to end. I can't be within even faint earshot of this song, or I will smash things.

I'm nicking "cock yoghurt". It shall be the van drivers new nickname........

Don't forget the equally appalling "We Built This City On Rock And Roll". Voted as the worst song of all time in more than one poll...

Wisdom very much added (several times if I could).

No - it's absolutely awful.

And they were a bunch of scruffy bastards - Kevin Rowland always looked like he needed a good wash....

Fairground by Simply Red, the background music in the verses sounds like somebody is abusing a chimp.

Also Janet Jackson - Together Again. I hated the syrupy lyrics of this song when first heard it.

The Coors - what sort of people like this SHIT??

Unbelievably crap, every single song. The one big single they did, jesus that;s bad. It could drive me to eat iron filings

I have a colleague who readily admits having seen these, in fact I believe I have heard them described as 'his first gig' (the second was westlife) -every time it happens I find myself imagining I am lunging across the table, arms outstretched with hands clutching tightly at his throat. Mind you I say as much, so it is no big secret!

vale

bon jovi, living on a prayer. so monumentally shite.
that may be equal favourite hater with wonderwall (already mentioned).
the amount i hate a song is directly proportionate to the number of times i have had to hear it when i didn't want to. & wonderwall & prayer were like shitpub mucial wallpaper in the late 90s.

Oh, that's reminded me of... Perfect by Fairground Attraction.  Horrible smug shite.

Indeed, & speaking of Simply Red have we had Stars yet? Mika? This Love by Moron 5? the song about the kitchen by R-Kelly?  & who could forget the cover theme song from 8 Weddings & a Funeral by Wet Wet Wet? All warehouse radio loop-tape torture hits.

and Crowded House

This. I'm not entirely sure why but every time I hear it I want to smash whatever audio device it's vomiting out of.

The thing with some of these songs you hate is that they are good or at least decent songs but you hate them for another reason. 

In my case, I have no idea what the song is, but it played in the Stamford Street Nandos once and ruined my Lunch. It was the absolute worst song I've ever heard and didn't fit with any of the other songs playing. 

It started out with a nice rhodes/wurlitser piano melody reminiscent of Still Crazy After All These Years, but then changed to some Techno Crap with people screaming in Portuguese.
