Some maga crybaby trash about when Trump got shot at that rally that came up on my spotify feed. I don't the name of it or the "artist" but it's literally the thing that pushed me over the edge to drop spotify and go back to 100% pirating my music.
Before I heard that probably would have said Bohemian Rhapsody.
Mustang Sally, or really any song that just repeats the same basic five second of lyrics and noises over and over and over again for five fucking minutes. That’s not a proper song structure, it’s just sonic torture.
Last Christmas. Hate it so much.
Also Independence Day by Martina McBride, but my reason for hating it is silly.
Honestly the song, about a woman escaping domestic violence, is fine. But there is a line that frustrates me.
The chorus goes like this:
“Let freedom ring
Let the white doves sing
Let the whole world know that today is a day of reckoning
Let the weak be strong
Let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay,
It’s Independence Day!”
This got used by Rush Limbaugh for his awful radio show. And that penultimate line infuriates me, because it illustrates how evangelicals do not understand their own religion, which has led to them embracing vengeance, power, and fascism. (Not that the song led them to that, it’s a symptom.)
The stone rolling away, referring to Jesus’s resurrection, is very clearly described in the Bible as the sign that sins are forgiven. That’s the whole point of the religion, that everyone is a sinner and in need of a savior. The stone rolling away means the guilty don’t pay.
But evangelicals have twisted their religion so much they think the important part is about punishing those who don’t follow their rules. It’s about worshipping power. So the stone rolling away means Jesus is about to kick some guilty ass or some nonsense.
Additionally, because irony is dead, I wouldn’t be surprised at all to find domestic abusers belting that refrain at the top of their lungs, not knowing what the song is about, because of Rush fucking Limbaugh.
Driving on the freeway. Aretha Franklin. That and Real American by David Bowie. It’s like these two songs were created in drug haze. It just repeats the same words. Sentence after sentence.
The Christmas Shoes.
Don't know if I can pick a singular least favorite. I have entire artists I despise for their particular vocal styles.
Over-the-top wailers: Adele, Gotye
Pouty mumblers: Lana Del Ray, Billie Eilish
Billy goat bleeting: Stevie Nicks
Take your pick of their respective overplayed hits and mash them together. That's my most hated song.
Edit: forgot Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day, sounds like he swallowed his tongue
24 carat by Bruno Mars.
Pisses me off so that I'll immediately turn the radio off. Damn that song is annoying. The random soundbites, lyrics, everything about it.
I have only really seen English language stuff in the comments so far. You are missing out on stuff like my person focus of hate "Ich und mein Holz" and the entire genre of Schlager.
Vajas - "Sparrow of the Wind"
Don't.
Wagon Wheel as sung by Darius Rucker.
I didn’t know the name or the singer until I googled it just now. TIL! It’s a bob Dylan song sung by the Hootie and the Blowfish guy!
It sounds like the embodiment of cornhole and light beer white rednecks. For that reason alone I hate it and leave when it comes on.
Just listened to the Old Crow Medicine Show version, it is tolerable. It is twangy but has much less of that godawful pop country machismo sound.
It's not really Bob Dylan. Old Crow Medicine Show wrote most of it off a riff Bob Dylan did, it was more 'inspired by Bob Dylan'
It's a good song but have heard it enough for now.
Fireflys by Owl City. The first couple of notes of the synth is enough to send me into a blind rage.
I remember when i first heard this song it instantly became a favourite.
Some time later i was so goddamn sick of it, it was freaking everywhere you just turned the radio on or walked into any store and you knew it would already be playing.
Ballroom Blitz.
Before I get flack from everyone, I have a specific reason. I was staying at a cabin with some friends, and some of the kids played Ballroom Blitz constantly. Every day, all day, for a week. Heard it every time I walked in. So I think you understand now.
