10 Most Annoying Songs Of All Time

[Fred Sanford]

Well, you may as well throw Lionel Ritchie into the burning oil vat too "once, twice, three times a lady..blah blah" Come to think of it you can throw out his daughter Nicole and add bff Paris Hilton for good measure.

come on now guy, if Ritchie never gave us that song then we'd never have had the classic eddie murphy's Buck Wheat version. Now that is awesome. if you never heard it then check it out on youtube

[Fred Sanford]

I agree with the #1 position wholeheartedly. The rest also thoroughly deserve to be there.

But now I'm gonna upset a lot of folks by nominating what many will say is an all time classic and that is My way by Frank Sinatra. It is about the most depressing dirge ever laid down in the name of music, IMO of course. It is so bad that it does a great service to pub singers and karaoke terrorists the world over. No matter how bad you are at singing and no matter how p1ssed you are you can sing it perfectly.

Right, I'm off to get into the fire resistant suit.

I'm sorry "My Way" upsets you so much. I like it sung by the old crooner himself. If a song gained a bad reputation through being depressing, you can do far worse. How about "I don't like Mondays", "Bohemian Rhapsody" .....or anything by "Black Sabbath"...absolutely morbid.

Another annoying song IMO with a most ridiculous title:

"The 59th Street Bridge Song" by Simon & Garfunkel

Hold on there tropo, the old crooner is awesome as is Bobby Darin but Sabbath is classic as well. I just watched the 1999 reunion concert with the original members and it was spectacular. Great version of the awesome tune "Dirty Women"

"I see a man who's got take away women for sale, yes for sale.

Guess that's the answer cause take away women don't fail" Osboune, Iommi

[antsinmypantsouch]

I will Survive by Gloria Gaynor (had to Google her name)...

I'm sorry but this song has been overplayed, overtaken and I've just had enough of it...

[Fred Sanford]

Why isnt Timmy Mallet on the opening list.?! (Hmm, but only Brits will know this. I guess thats why)

Yellow Polka dot bikini (oh yeah!)

OMG shoot me.

Yes that tune is very annoying and weak. It was done by a good artist though, Brian Hyland, who had a hit with the great song "Gypsy Woman", penned by the immortal Curtis Mayfield and produced by Rock Hall of Famer Del Shannon. Hyland also had a smash hit in '62 with " Sealed with a Kiss" which reached #2 on Billboard. The polka dot bikini tune was a #1 smash in 1961. That song actually has an interesting concept of a girl being bashful to go out in public in a skimpy bikini

I agree,but we are getting to the "slit your wrists and end it now" ,bottom of the barrel....

Fred, you misread my post. I like Frankie and Black Sabbath too when I was younger. I was just making a statement about morbid or depressing music, but that doesn't mean I don't like it. Bohemian Rhapsody is one of my all time favourites.

[Camelot]

What? No nomination for Anita Ward's 'Ring My Bell'? Let me hastily fix that.

A huge hit in Thailand. Right up there with 'Love Potion Number 9' and '500 Miles'

Be fair camelot, there were 2 verses in there too:

RING MY BELL - 16/06/1979

2 weeks at #1 - 11 weeks on chart

I'm glad you're home

Well, did you really miss me

I guess you did by the look in your eye (look in your eye, look in your eye)

Well lay back and relax while I put away the dishes

Then you and me can rock a bye

You can ring my bell, ring my bell

You can ring my bell, ring my bell

You can ring my bell, ring my bell

You can ring my bell, ring my bell

The night is young and full of possibilities

Well come on and let yourself be free

My love for you, so long I've been savin'

Tonight was made for me and you

You can ring my bell, ring my bell (ring my bell, ding-dong-ding)

You can ring my bell, ring my bell (ring my bell, ring-a-ling-a-ling)

You can ring my bell, ring my bell (ring my bell, ding-dong-ding)

You can ring my bell, ring my bell (ring my bell, ring-a-ling-a-ling)

That collection of rock / pop cliches they were playing nonstop on the skytrain last week. Believe it's the latest by Linkin Park.

I find the one that goes "Pattaya, Pattaya!" pretty annoying.

anything donnie osmond and david cassidy did in the 70s .

Cassidy was and still is awesome. Great cover of the Association classic, "Cherish". He also did a cover of the phenomenal Rascals song "How Can I Be Sure" (cause you can never be too sure), which he closes with at his concerts. Check out his 2005 live greatest hits DVD. He does 3 or 4 Beatles classics and kicks in the smash hit "Hush" by Deep Purple. The DVD gets 5 stars out of 5 from Amazon reviewers. Not bad for an annoying guy.

Well, the Association was GREAT music and shouldn't be mentioned in this thread about most annoying music...

[Fred Sanford]

Ok, I'll name one.....even though the mere thought of it will have me involuntarily humming it for days.....

Walking on Sunshine....by Katrina and the Waves.

"I'm walking on sunshine...ohhh ohhh...and dont'cha feel good..hey...alright now.....

Sorry if any readers are adversely affected by this post.

Awesome song, great group. A couple of checks and 2 dudes and mega talented. Katrina did the vocals and leads guitarist chick wrote most of the tunes including that smash hit "walking on sunshine". The song was written from her heart and has a lot of meaning in addition to being catchy

Couldn't agree more that they were great

[donna]

i love david cassidy.

two of the most annoying songs for me are hotel california and stairway to heaven. i may get flamed for saying this, but i never want to hear either of them again. im not saying that they are crap songs. just that i have heard them waaaaaaaaaaay too many times living in asia.

and the macarena.

whispering grass......don estell and that welsh <deleted>

[eek]

Simply the Best - Tina Turner

Lets get Physical - Oliva Newton John

Anything by Michael Hasslehoff

Grease - mostly the main song. v irritating. Ah wella wella wella..huh..tell me more tell me more.

Grandad we love you - group of irritating kiddies. A grandma we love you came out too, equally annoying.

Feed the world - mixed singers. The purpose was noble, but the song was actually awful imo.

Anything by ZigZigSputnick (remember them?)

Oh Vienna - Midge Ure

Living doll - Cliff Richard and The Young Ones

Cliff Richard songs - the Christian and Christmas ones, when he was minus the shadows.

[brahmburgers]

Take Good Care of My Baby (Bobby Darin?) 1960's

Chorus: "take good care of my baby, make sure you never make her cry

and if you do discover, that you don't really love her

be sure to send her running back to me."

......and any song sung by Niel Diamond

Maybe his writing wasn't so bad, but his vocals are irritating.

[brahmburgers]

I Had Too Much to Dream Last Night - The Electric Prunes

I heard somewhere that a music manager heard the early Doors in L.A. and opted instead to manage the Electric Prunes out of San Francisco. That's almost as screwed as the musical talent scout who was cleaning out his drawer in the early 70's and found a note to himself; "new group called the Beatles. No potential."

also: Have I The Right? by the Honeycombs

"Have I the right to hold you? You know I've always told you

That we must never ever part oh ooh ooh oh

Have I the right to kiss you? You know I'll always miss you

I've loved you from the very start

Come right back I just can't bear it

I've got this love and I long to share it

Come right back I'll show my love is strong

Have I the right to touch you? If I could you'd see how much you

Send those shivers running down my spine. Ooh Ooh

Have I the right to thrill you? You know I'll wait until you

Give me the right to make you mine.

Well, Come right back I just can't bear it

I've got this love and I long to share it

Come right back I'll show my love is strong. Oh yeah.

All right!

(break)

Have I the right to hold you? You know I've always told you

That we must never ever part. No no no no no no

Have I the right to kiss you? You know I'll always miss you.

I've loved you from the very start.

Come right back I just can't bear it

I've got this love and I long to share it

Come right back I'll show my love is strong. Oh yeah yeah

Come right back I just can't bear it

I've got this love and I long to share it

Come right back right back where you belong oh yeah

You belong oh yeah You belong"

[November Rain]

Amateurs! You're all amateurs!

You want annoying songs? Here are 3 no-one's even thought of:

Rat Rap - Roland Rat (only Brits will know this)

Tie a Yellow Ribbon - Dawn

Wannabe - Spice Girls

Special mention goes to anything by Weird Al Yankovic...

99 red balloons by somebodyorother (forget) "99 red balloons go bang..na na nana...99 red balloons go bang.."

Must have been love (but its over now) by another band i forget the name of..danish band or something.

I will always love you - Whitney Houston. Gawd was a time when you couldnt walk down the street without hearing it, or someone singing or humming it. Worse yet when you realise your doing it yourself.

Anything and everything sung by Whitesnake.

More than words by an equally annoying soft rock band..again forget the blasted band name. ahh wait..it was by 'exteme'

90% of all rock ballads, esp those that make people get out lighters.

eek,

99 red balloons (German or English version) was by Nena.

I love Whitesnake! And I like rock ballads (but not lighters - I singe my fingers! )

[Neeranam]

Simply the Best - Tina Turner

Lets get Physical - Oliva Newton John

Living doll - Cliff Richard and The Young Ones

Cliff Richard songs - the Christian and Christmas ones, when he was minus the shadows.

ZIg Zig had a great song.

Midge Ure - rubbish.

[November Rain]

It was Sigue Sigue Sputnik. Are any of you lot actually old enough to remember the 80's??

Edit - Vienna was by Ultravox, not Midge Ure as a solo artist. His solo accreditations include "If I was" - honestly!!

Edited July 6, 2007 by November Rain

[brahmburgers]

correction; it was Bobby Vinton, (not Bobby Darin) who sang "Take Good Care of my Baby" Sorry Bobby.

My tears are fallin' 'cause you've taken her away

And though it really hurts me so

There's something that I've gotta say

Take good care of my ba-a-a-by

Please don't ever make her blu-u-u-ue

Just tell her that you love her

Make sure you're thinking of her

In everything you say and do-o-o-o

Aww, take good care of my ba-a-a-by

Now don't you ever make her cry-y-y-y

Just let your love surround her

Paint a rainbow all around her

Don't let her see a cloudy sky

Once upon a time that little girl was mine

If I'd been true, I know she'd never be with you

So, take good care of my ba-a-a-by

Be just as kind as you can be-e-e-e

And if you should discover

That you don't really love her

Just send my baby back home to me

Well, take good care of my ba-a-a-by

Be just as kind as you can be-e-e-e

And if you should discover

That you don't really love her

Just send my baby back home to me

Aww, take good care of my ba-a-a-by

Well, take good care of my ba-a-a-by
