I just wanted to say thanks to anyone who may have donated. Again you have no idea how much it means. Not gonna spam this message all day today, don’t worry, but thank you to those that did… Thank you so so much. And to anyone who upvoted or commented or gave well wishes. It means the entire world to me right now.
I cannot stand Hallelujah.
Everybody uses it as an emotional song for their emotional wedding slideshow, literally why???
If you look up the meaning, you’ll see the song isn’t really praising the Lord or whatever these people want, it’s like they just heard “Hallelujah” and ignored everything else.So now you have the bride and groom’s smiling pictures scrolling by while the dude is rambling about “She tied you to a kitchen chair, She broke your throne and she cut your hair”, WTF??? How come no one ever found this awkward???
Yeah I get it, Samson and Delilah, not really a good match for a wedding!And it’s overused to shit. Whatever deep meaning this song has, I cannot stand to hear it for the umpteenth time.
Especially not the music composing ramble of the opening verse.
Shut the fuck up about the the minor fall and the major lift.
Please use literally anything else for your photo montage I beg you.The fact that this was posted 7 hours ago and nobody has said “All I want for Christmas is you” by Mariah Carey warrants an entire episode of Unexplained Mysteries imo.
I don’t know what it’s actually called, but I call it “The Mexican Beeping Song”. It was on the playlist at a Mexican restaurant once, and I offered the server $50 he could turn it down/ off /change the station / anything to make it stop. He looked at me with a pained expression and just said “I would do it for free if I could, I hate this too”.
Whatever the title of “This girl is on fire” is.
Pretty sure it’s supposed to be empowering or something but all I hear is ThIs guRl iZ oN FiiIiiRrrrrrRrreee!!! two hundred times in a row.
Like okay she’s on fire. Got it. Get damn fire extinguisher or something and SHUT UP.
Honorary shout out to the 80℅ of songs on the radio thst are about relationships. You know there’s more topics that exist? Does it ALWAYS have to be about relationships?
And Christmas songs on eternal repeat starting before Halloween. Thanks, radio. I hate Christmas songs now. Not because they suck, but because you suck gor playing them over and over FOR HALF THE YEAR.
Shoutout for hating songs about relationships! Like, yeah, a few are cool. But there are just too many. It’s boring.
I shit you not, that entire song is just Alicia Keys finding different ways to say “this girl is on fire”. She’s just a girl and she’s aflame, etc. There’s nothing of substance to be found.
Photograph hy Nickleback
I feel like that one is going to be pretty commonly shared lol
Maybe you’ll enjoy this version a bit more
I don’t care what anyone thinks, I like Nickelback.
It’s ok, I know how you feel.
I like U2.
Rock Star is such a good song to indulge your trashy side to.
What the hell is on Joey’s head? Guess we’ll never find out.
I prefer https://youtu.be/MxmKc0OhsnU – deeper, shorter.
Fun fact! I was literally tortured (yes, actually for real) by Collective Soul so anytime I hear one of their two “hit” songs I get flung into PTSD flashbacks. I have to cover my ears and basically sink to the floor or immediately leave the area if that’s possible.
Suffice to say I hate them.
Also I was a retail slave for over a decade and hate all Christmas music. Super mega hate.
Edit: abused by the music, not the band. Sorry I didn’t mean to be misleading.
You’re my butterfly, sugar, baby
I like the part in the video where he shoots stars like a Care Bear on crack.
That song has one good thing. The guitar lick. Which is stolen from Red Hot Chilli Peppers.
Bonus fact, the guys name is Shifty Shellshock. I’m not kidding. He thought that’s a good stage name.
For those unaware: it’s “Pretty Little Ditty” written by John Frusciante and Flea.
Maybe this will help? https://youtu.be/dKvYt2M_9YE
My humps, my humps….

This is Alanis’ slowed down version.
Okay, that might be the most dreadful thing in this entire thread
The first time I heard that song, I thought Fergie said “My lumps, my lumps”. I was like is this song about cancer?
Everyone always talks about the humps and lumps, which is indeed weird. But no one ever talks about how the last verse starts “whatcha gonna do with all that BREAST” - which is just so on the nose.
Have you heard the Alanis Morissette version?
No but Jeff Tweedy did a great spoken word version
Ahahaha, omg. I had completely forgotten about her version of that song. Thank you.
I can’t believe she did a full version of that song, along with a music video. Fucking killed me, lmao.
Link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJg4rwDkkBA

That shitty version of I’m Blue that has the laziest lyrics ever written with a singer that has an obnoxious nasally voice. “I’m good, yeah I’m feeling alright, this is gonna be the best freaking night of my life” sounds like the first lyrics she came up with when she woke up that morning. That nasally “na na na na na” at the end also grinds my gears. So glad that song isn’t being played on the radio anymore, I’d much rather listen to the original I’m Blue Da Ba Dee for an hour straight than listen to this version even once.
“Happy Birthday” sung by a defeated waitstaff for the 10th time on their shift.
Wonderful Christmastime by Paul McCartney. He is one of the greatest songwriters of the modern age, and my hot take is that only someone as good as him could write a song so bad.
But it should be a war crime.
Post-breakup Beatles songs revealed their entire dynamic. George Harrison immediately drops All Things Must Pass and it is three whole albums of solid gold. John Lennon cranks out a few mildly trite pop songs (including a much better Christmas song than that) before his untimely death. Ringo takes the money and basically retires to a private life of happiness and joy.
But Paul McCartney, legendary singer-songwriter, and no stranger to experimentation or collaboration, begins a long and varied follow-up career of absolute crap. I don’t understand how someone so demonstrably knowledgeable and talented achieves such consistent mediocrity, but in the absence of an equally egotistical genius to tell him off (and a polite wizard to feel challenged by) he was just useless. Wings goes on for a decade and produces maybe half a dozen decent songs, one of which is this Tame Impala anomaly nobody remembers.
and a polite wizard to feel challenged by
are you referring to Ringo again here?
Nah. “Challenging” is not a quality you want in a drummer.
Lennon and McCartney were obviously quite talented, but neither of them could go “Hey by the way Eric Clapton’s here. Mic him up.”
Is it worse than “I got my mind set on you” by George Harrison?
Yes
Dude, that video rocked
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
Ouuuhhh, can you name more things you hate? I love all of those and might find new favorites through your dislikes.
An incomplete list. Hope this helps!
Gordon Lightfoot
Yoko Ono
Twenty One Pilots
Pat Benatar
Cyndi Lauper
Jewel
Tones and I
You don’t like Cyndi Lauper? You disgust me
I can get behind a bunch of these. I like Adele but the rest… yeah.
Green Day… every goddamn September I want to take a tire iron to every fucking radio within hearing distance.
Ooh, Green Day.
Yeahhh… I’d say if you don’t like his vocal style then all of the songs are going to be ehhh, I personally enjoy a few albums right now, since I’m a rock (generally mainstream stuff, grunge, nu-metal, some punk) enjoyer and can listen through it…
Though, I’m curious, what songs specifically did you hear it from?
The one that comes to mind is Good Riddance
This is probably going to get me attacked, but I dislike Chappell Roan for the same reason. Her songs are… alright. I’m not the target audience, but I like the style generally, I just can’t get past her voice.
“We Built This City” is awful.
I have a special hate for Kenny G’s horrifying abomination where he pretends to have a duet with the great Louis Armstrong. Gah
Scatman John did a WAYYYYY better virtual duet with Louis Armstrong years earlier. It’s a nice catchy song about the history of Jazz and Louis’ influence on the genre.
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.
Last Christmas
Oh god, yes. The worst thing: I don’t actually hate it. But it means it’s fucking christmas season again, I’ll be hearing it everywhere, I can not only hum but sing the lyrics hours after hearing it and it’s so old that it will likely never die.
Let the right be wrong
Ironic that evangelicals used this.
Let the white doves sing
Doves don’t even sing
Radio Gaga by Queen.
I imagine being forced to listen to anything on a loop for an entire week would have the same effect. (worked on a cruise ship that was in the final stages of construction and to test the PA system, they played that song. On loop. For an entire 7 days.)
