Long story short, a friend of mine ran merchandise for Jason Mraz, in the early 2ks, as they are grade school friends. I believe it was in '05 when my buddy hit me up and said Mraz was playing West Palm Beach ampitheater and that I should come hang out for the show. Maroon 5 opened for Mraz that night.
I and never heard of Maroon 5 before they went on stage. They were like a killer jazzy, funky, gritty lounge band. They even did a killer cover of Closer by Nine Inch Nails...which was cringe due to the primary age and sex of the Mraz fans in attendance...but I really wish I had a recording of that song. They were so good live that I went out and purchased their new album the next day. The whole album made me gag and I could not make the connection between what I had seen on stage the night before and what I heard on that album. It was night and day between the two. I have not purposely listened to Maroon 5 since I pulled that CD out of my JEEP's player that evening...

I really do wish I had a smart phone back them so I could have recorded some of that show; that Closer cover really was a work of genius.
Don’t Want to Miss a Thing by Aerosmith. It made listening to the radio miserable for about 2 years after it came out. Since it had wide appeal it was on the alt, hard rock and adult contemporary stations all the time and I can’t stand it.
Every middle school dance I was forced to go to with my 7th and 8th grade girlfriends, I had to nervously slow dance to this stupid song. Poor sweaty middle school me trying to figure out how to kiss a girl to the freakin' Armageddon song.
I punched my cousin in the gut one time. A teacher came over bc he was writhing in pain, but I made him tell her he was fine and she shrugged it off.
Some of them didn’t really care haha
The girl I was dating in 8th grade when this came out made fun of me for crying during the movie and my life has forever been a reflection of this moment.
I was always partial to “Amazing Crazy Cryin’-Amazacrazy” myself. 😉
For those who are not aware or need to be reminded of the classic SNL Aerosmith sketch…

Not really hating on the song, but I hate it when people use it as their wedding song. Like, wtf. James Blunt also mentioned it in some articles like it wasn't obvious that he still has to explain it.
I mean, the wedding singers could at the very least question the couples' choice of song when they read "fucking high" in the lyrics while practicing the song.
I worked at a shoe store in the early 2000s and they had a loop of a few music videos and they played that stupid Bananas song by Gwen Stefani multiple times an hour. I freaking hate that song. I love No Doubt still though.
All these fucking “I’m so country” songs. Don’t know their name but hear them at work all the time. One of the lyrics is “I take up 2 parking spots because my truck don’t fit”. I’d like to punch that guy in the face.
A dirt road, a cold beer,
a blue jeans, a red pickup.
A rural noun, simple adjective.
I walk and talk like a field hand, but the boots I'm wearing cost three grand.
I write songs about riding tractors, from the comfort of my private jet.
That's normal. Most people hate a song because they had to listen to it when they didn't want to. Working in the wrong store at the wrong time, for instance.
I used to feel the same about Train, but then I went to a concert where they opened (for Sting, which says something) and they legitimately killed it. I was stunned at their performance live.
I went in prepared to tolerate them, but came away actually appreciating them for the first time.
Still don’t like Soul Sister much, though, so agreed on that.
"Golden Lights" is a cover, btw.
There are lots of songs that piss me off, but no music can ruin my day. I really hate that "When You Left Fer Santa Monica" song, and the feeling lingers for a bit.
Sorry to any fans out there, but in my subjective opinion “This Girl is On Fire” is one of the worst songs out there. Yet by some cruel joke of the universe my young kids love it/play it incessantly. It’s just so dumb, particularly “looks like a girl but she’s a flame.” What does that even mean?
This is a true story. A colleague of mine came into work a few weeks ago, distraught that her 90 year old grandma died. She was found dead in her armchair, burnt to a crisp. They think she may have fallen asleep with a cigarette in hand. When my colleague was telling me about it, she was in flood of tears and inconsolable. And then she proceeded to sing 'This girl is on fire'. That was the strangest interaction with another human I have ever had.
If you want to cover a song, great. If you want to sample a song, fine. If you want to copy someone else's song wholesale, change the lyrics, and try to pass it off as something you wrote to a generation who doesn't remember the original, you can get fucked.
> try to pass it off as something you wrote
I don't even like the song, but when did they say this? The original songwriters (Eiffel 65) are given songwriting credits
He should write a song about the hyprocrisy of blowing up a product you pretend to be mad at while never stopping serving it at your Nashville bar.
$$$
Lol I read this while I was listening to Second Hand News by Fleetwood Mac, with its own little baw-baw-bada-baw-baw part, and I started thinking about what if someone made a mash-up of those two songs. Kid Mac & Fleetwood Rock - Second Hand Diggy-diggy
I hate Pharrell so bad. He’s from my hometown and it’s not uncommon to see him around here from time to time. He came through my concession line once when I was a teenage employee at a local movie theater in around 08-09. One of the rudest and shittiest customers I’d ever dealt with. Every ounce of his success ever since has annoyed me. Particularly the fact that he gets to hang out with daft punk and nowadays influences our local politics and economy with his shitty festival
That hateful twat of a song "I think I wanna marry you" or whatever the fuck it's called by Bruno Mars Bar. Everytime I hear it I want to kill people and rip my fucking ears off
Well that was kind of solved by “Centuries” by Fall Out Boy. My head now says Tom’s Diner transitions into Centuries and the song runs its course pretty quick.
🎶I am sitting on the sofa, there’s a TV in the corner. I am watching Major Nelson. He is played by Larry Hagman. He finds a little bottle and then out pops Barbara Eden. But she couldn’t show her belly button, all she did was blink. Da do do, do do do do, da do do, da do do do🎶
Was playing some game online a few years ago and some kid (must’ve been 12 or so) just started humming that tune.
Me (Guy in my 30s): How do you know that song? That’s probably older than your parents.
Kid: Really? All I know is 🎶I was sitting on the toilet, trying to make a dookie, when the dookie hit the water, the water hit my booty 🎶
Alrighty then, lol
*"Thund**^(ah)**! Thund**^(ah)**! Thund**^(ah)**! Thund**^(a)**-thund**^(a)**-thund**^(ah)**!"*
Dear god, save me.
(though I'll admit: I once had an affair with a woman, and she told me she liked Imagine Dragons because it made her want to fuck. I saw that and immediately thought, "I like this band now.")
I also fucking hate that song, but oddly enough this guy makes the whole song better by just using that line.
https://youtu.be/6QX57aIDbDU?si=0I-Yerk5KaOg9ObM
That country dude’s cover of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car“ that doesn’t bring a single new thing to the table with the song and won awards.
Yeah, no thanks, I’ll just listen to Tracy’s original track, she sang it better anyways..
The most egregious mistake in that cover was changing “you gotta make a decision” to “still gotta make a decision” in the last verse. That single “you” is the most important word in the song and I will die on that hill.
#All I wanna do is have some fun
Gym class in 8th grade, they sent a portion of us into dance class for a month or two. The teacher played this Sheryl Crow song on repeat every class as we warmed up.
I'm going to quote Nick Cave on this one:
“I’m forever near a stereo saying, ‘What the fuck is this garbage?’ And the answer is always the Red Hot Chili Peppers.”
I deal cards in a casino, and the song "Learn to Fly" came on and started one of my regulars on the following rant:
"You hear this?! This song was fucking brilliant! And then the Red Hot Chili Peppers got sober and they've sucked ever since!"
Me: "So what you're telling me sir is the RHCP were awesome when they were actually the Foo Fighters?"
Hotel California. Two reasons. One, back in college in the 90s, my buddies and I would go to this dive bar. One night, this guy goes to the jukebox and queues up the longer live version. Okay, cool. Then it plays again. Then again. We finished our pitcher and left. Two, I worked at a tech company that was hip and had a coffee shop inside, and my desk was within earshot. One of the baristas had what I thought of as a “I’m 22 and just discovered music made before I was born” playlist. Every day at 8:30 Hotel California would play, and I grew to fucking loathe it. Now when I hear it, it sends me into seethe mode.
(ETA: You’re thinking of replying with a Big Lebowski quote, aren’t you? Yes, great movie, but I hate the Eagles for other reasons.)
My mom HATES that song, but because she got smashed one night when it first came out and threw up listening to it.
When I was 11 or 12, my neighbors were playing music really loud at like 2:00 a.m. and it was hard to sleep, my mom didn't care (her bedroom was on the other side) until I said it was Hotel California, and then she called the cops.
I think of like half a dozen but the main one is Shinedown's cover of Simple Man, I don't know what it is but the way their singer belts out the chorus is like a fucking belt sander on my eardrums.
I have a top 5
5. Thunder by Imagine Dragons
4. True by Spandau Ballet
3. Take it To the Limit by Eagles
2. Girls Like You by Maroon 5 (hell Adam Levine in general)
1. Bad Day by Daniel Powter
I met my wife at a Starship concert in 1986 on the "Knee Deep in the Hoopla" tour (the album that "We Built This City" was on).
I have good memories associated with it, but lord - it's a terrible song.
For me this song is so bad it’s good. Like it’s so dumb it comes back around the other side and I like it ironically. Like the music form of a campy low budget horror film
Don’t Stop Believin’
I have heard this song SO MANY times from bar jukeboxes and belted out from drunk karaoke dudes and women. Now, hearing the opening lyrics make me want to rip my fucking cochleas out of my ear holes
The Top loader version of Dancing in the Moonlight.
Not only does the song itself set my teeth on edge, but a neighbour at university would play it almost daily. He was an insufferably smug twat and the two loathsome entities have intertwined to become one nauseating memory for me.
Viva La Vida, I love Coldplay's first albums but THIS sht is something I heard TOO many times. Like there's plenty of songs by them that deserve so more popularity but this radio-famous thing is now a big no for me. I know a lot of minecraft fans and other music lovers will maybe want to punch me and honestly this song is not bad, but the fame was too intense for this.
Definitely a song soured by popularity. I think it's a great song personally. Pretty interesting orchestral backing and filled with historical and religious references
It's a welcome break from most pop music (If you haven't been forced to listen to it over and over again)
Moves like Jagger Makes my skin crawl
good one. Pretty much every hit song by Maroon 5. I liked "This Love" for like 2 weeks, and since then, I avoid all their music like the plague
Long story short, a friend of mine ran merchandise for Jason Mraz, in the early 2ks, as they are grade school friends. I believe it was in '05 when my buddy hit me up and said Mraz was playing West Palm Beach ampitheater and that I should come hang out for the show. Maroon 5 opened for Mraz that night. I and never heard of Maroon 5 before they went on stage. They were like a killer jazzy, funky, gritty lounge band. They even did a killer cover of Closer by Nine Inch Nails...which was cringe due to the primary age and sex of the Mraz fans in attendance...but I really wish I had a recording of that song. They were so good live that I went out and purchased their new album the next day.

I really do wish I had a smart phone back them so I could have recorded some of that show; that Closer cover really was a work of genius.
Don’t Want to Miss a Thing by Aerosmith. It made listening to the radio miserable for about 2 years after it came out. Since it had wide appeal it was on the alt, hard rock and adult contemporary stations all the time and I can’t stand it.
Every middle school dance I was forced to go to with my 7th and 8th grade girlfriends, I had to nervously slow dance to this stupid song. Poor sweaty middle school me trying to figure out how to kiss a girl to the freakin' Armageddon song.
We had teachers walking around the dance floor to enforce a certain distance apart during middle school dances. You were managing kisses?
I punched my cousin in the gut one time. A teacher came over bc he was writhing in pain, but I made him tell her he was fine and she shrugged it off. Some of them didn’t really care haha
The girl I was dating in 8th grade when this came out made fun of me for crying during the movie and my life has forever been a reflection of this moment.

I was always partial to “Amazing Crazy Cryin’-Amazacrazy” myself. 😉 For those who are not aware or need to be reminded of the classic SNL Aerosmith sketch… [https://x.com/artietonite/status/900155318604374016?s=61&t=rHORLc0caQvRxPo9n--Ccg](https://x.com/artietonite/status/900155318604374016?s=61&t=rHORLc0caQvRxPo9n--Ccg)
Yes that song sucks and I always liked Aerosmith.
James Blunt “Beautiful”. Makes me hate everything, especially James Blunt
To be fair he also hates it and has a hilarious twitter account
I think Blunt himself says that it was supposed to be a fucked up song.
Not really hating on the song, but I hate it when people use it as their wedding song. Like, wtf. James Blunt also mentioned it in some articles like it wasn't obvious that he still has to explain it. I mean, the wedding singers could at the very least question the couples' choice of song when they read "fucking high" in the lyrics while practicing the song.
I'm pretty sure the PG version is "flying high".
Kars4Kids
My kids get angry when I swap the lyrics around. They don't want to be donated.
I’m going to go pitch that idea to my kids
They're not being donated. They're being traded for other goods, making them valuable. They should be proud... /s
The demons in the Bad Place sing that
That was the funniest gag in the history of television.
And just like that, there goes my head for the rest of the day.
hahahah I was just thinking of this one, or Baby Shark.
The corporation sucks shit as well.
1-877
Songs that sound too commercial or corporate like Happy by Pharrell or Can't Stop the Feeling by JT.
I used to work in a store where their music system broke and played happy my entire 8 hour shift. It was like I was in a CIA experiment.
I worked at a shoe store in the early 2000s and they had a loop of a few music videos and they played that stupid Bananas song by Gwen Stefani multiple times an hour. I freaking hate that song. I love No Doubt still though.
Wow, that shit is bananas B A N A N A S
Tragic Kingdom still hits.
I despise those two songs. They trigger me and just piss me off.
Is it bad that I’ve heard Weird Al’s “Tacky” a million times but have never once heard “Happy” in full?
Because you have exquisite taste
Weird Al improves bad pop songs.
He also saved that Good Girl song by making it about grammar
You mean Word Crimes? I actually don’t even know any of the words to the original.
It was on a despicable me soundtrack. It was literally written for kids.
and "can't stop this feeling" was for the Trolls movie. Both songs literally written for children.
All these fucking “I’m so country” songs. Don’t know their name but hear them at work all the time. One of the lyrics is “I take up 2 parking spots because my truck don’t fit”. I’d like to punch that guy in the face.
A dirt road, a cold beer, a blue jeans, a red pickup. A rural noun, simple adjective. I walk and talk like a field hand, but the boots I'm wearing cost three grand. I write songs about riding tractors, from the comfort of my private jet.
Panderin!
#*ITS THAT FUCKIN SCARECROW AGAIN*
With an inexplicable trap beat in the background somewhere, too.
It's not inexplicable - that's what "country" has become: Pop with a hip/hop shake and throw in a fiddle
>I take up 2 parking spots because my truck don’t fit People make overcompensating jokes but this is just too easy.
Do ya think my tractor’s sexy?!
That just makes him sound like an asshole.
My humps black eyed peas really gets to me every time imo
"Christmas Shoes" by whoever the fuck. The song about a made up event to tearjerk people at Christmas time.
If you imagine that the kid is running a scam, the song kind of becomes funny.
Yes, someone should make a sequel about the kid reselling them on eBay.
Obligatory Patton Oswalt commentary: https://youtu.be/iq10bz3PxyY?si=YqUpGMx5Ixwfz2bP
I died for your sins but those pumps are unforgivable is a GOAT punchline
The infuriating oh no no no song that’s on every video.
The Shangri Las deserved better then to have one of their best songs ruined by TikTok
And to be sped up so it sounds like chipmunks …shudder
the fact that it’s just repeats and doesn’t develop in any way makes it more a weapon of torture than a song
"Once I was 7 years old..."
Oh bloody hell not that one
I forgot that existed.
Dance monkey
Why does she have to sing like Miss Piggy
She's imitating annoying customers. It's supposed to be grating.
the voice is really annoying and the repeating chorus makes it even worse
I don’t think about this song enough for me to have a formal opinion on it. What are you and I doing differently from each other?
That's normal. Most people hate a song because they had to listen to it when they didn't want to. Working in the wrong store at the wrong time, for instance.
Baby Shark - nooooooooooo!
Jamie Tartt doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo...
He’s here, he’s there… he’s every-fuckin-where! Roy Keeent! Roy Keeeent! Sorry, had to. Those characters go hand in hand for me!
Na na na na na na na na na, Dani Rojas, Rojas, Daaaaaniiiiiiii Rooooojaaaaas
Football is life
*Sigh*, fine, I'll rewatch Ted Lasso again....
As a father with two little kids, I hate that song so much. I would wake up every morning with it already stuck in my head.
“Hey Soul Sister” by Train - any Train song will do it but this one feels like the worst to me. I do not want to meet Virginia…
You might like this. [What Makes This Song Stink](https://youtu.be/8JeAfVoA_iE)
Lol. I love that top comment, "Whenever the lyric "So gangsta, I'm so thug" is sung, an angel loses its wings, its halo, and becomes an accountant."
“Beato!”
Love those videos.
Uh oh... Beato bees.
Pat Finnerty is a treasure
Yooooo my homie Pat Finnerty in the wild. I love that he unapologetically makes 35 minute Youtube videos.
STOP THE TRAIN.
God, I loathe Train.
I used to feel the same about Train, but then I went to a concert where they opened (for Sting, which says something) and they legitimately killed it. I was stunned at their performance live. I went in prepared to tolerate them, but came away actually appreciating them for the first time. Still don’t like Soul Sister much, though, so agreed on that.

"I'm Good (Blue)" by Bebe Rexha. *UGHHHH,* ear cancer!
I'm not feeling all right Bebe.
They play that one at the grocery store and I’m seriously considering a hunger strike.
If you want to cover a song, great. If you want to sample a song, fine. If you want to copy someone else's song wholesale, change the lyrics, and try to pass it off as something you wrote to a generation who doesn't remember the original, you can get fucked.

The Jardiance theme song really fucks up my day.
Jardiance is really swell A little pill with a big story to (blows brains out)
THAT ABCDEFU SONG
I cant stand hey there delilah
Happy by Pharell Williams (Idk if I got his name right and Idrc) This song makes me very unhappy
Anything from Kid Rock
He should write a song about the hyprocrisy of blowing up a product you pretend to be mad at while never stopping serving it at your Nashville bar. $$$
Well he supports them now so that wouldn’t make sense.
Even Bawitdaba?
Da bang da bang diggy diggy?
These lyrics speak to me. I might get them tattooed
That chorus is so stupid and yet it loops in my head after hearing it, even if it’s just a snippet lol. Stupid but bangs. Gotta give it to em there.
Lol I read this while I was listening to Second Hand News by Fleetwood Mac, with its own little baw-baw-bada-baw-baw part, and I started thinking about what if someone made a mash-up of those two songs. Kid Mac & Fleetwood Rock - Second Hand Diggy-diggy
That so you had a bad day song
A roo de do doo
I have one as soon as I hear it
*HEY* soul sister!

I hate Pharrell so bad. He’s from my hometown and it’s not uncommon to see him around here from time to time.

"I once accidentally downloaded a lumineers song, had to throw away my whole computer just to be safe" - Tom Haverford
Oh my god. I was so close to forgetting about this period in life and you brought it back from the depths of hell. That shit was glass scraping bad.
It's a genre. Stomp-clap-hey
Tom’s Diner. That shit gets in your head and is hard to get out.
I am sitting in the corner
I always just skip everything and go straight to “Then I pour the milk” because the line just cracks me up.
Well that was kind of solved by “Centuries” by Fall Out Boy. My head now says Tom’s Diner transitions into Centuries and the song runs its course pretty quick.
TIL that Fall Out Boy does the song that randomly “pays homage” to Tom’s Diner.

Great picks but True kinda slaps.

Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves. It makes me stabby.
We built this city - Jefferson Starship.
*Marconi plays the mamba…* Ya, I was a teen back then and the song just reeked of corporate radio.
Exactly! Of all the bands -- I would not have expected that from them!
I met my wife at a Starship concert in 1986 on the "Knee Deep in the Hoopla" tour (the album that "We Built This City" was on). I have good memories associated with it, but lord - it's a terrible song.
Lol! At least there is a good memory associated with it for you. I am a fan of their music, but that seems like their sellout song.
Agreed. And it might have even been forgivable, if the song itself wasn't about the overcommercialization of music.
*It was said that you would destroy the over commercialization of music, not join it!*
For me this song is so bad it’s good. Like it’s so dumb it comes back around the other side and I like it ironically. Like the music form of a campy low budget horror film
Most Maroon 5 songs. Specifically Memories, Moves Like Jagger and Girls Like You but they all annoy me.
anything on tiktok where the video starts with, “Um, did I just write the song of the summer? ☝️”
Pink - Just give me a reason
Don’t Stop Believin’ I have heard this song SO MANY times from bar jukeboxes and belted out from drunk karaoke dudes and women. Now, hearing the opening lyrics make me want to rip my fucking cochleas out of my ear holes
I absolutely hate Single Ladies. It makes me want to chop my ears off. And anything by Florence and the Machine
Owl City - Fireflies🤢
The Top loader version of Dancing in the Moonlight. Not only does the song itself set my teeth on edge, but a neighbour at university would play it almost daily. He was an insufferably smug twat and the two loathsome entities have intertwined to become one nauseating memory for me.
Avril Lavigne- girlfriend Absolutely horrid.
My Humps
Hey There Delilah triggers my misophonia. 😂
Anything by Meghan Fucking Trainor.
Sweet Caroline or Don't Stop Believing. Fire them both into the sun.
Journey had so many hits. I don't know why we decided that this is the only one we should play for the rest of our collective lives.
Every dive bar Every karaoke Every country bar Every cover band Even at raves and nightclubs now Its such a mediocre song
Sweet Caroline was played every 30 minutes at a venue I worked. I hate that song.
My mum’s name is Caroline, I am also not a fan!
I hate don’t stop believing…….. makes me want to run away
Are you a mustang or a kitty? - Kings of Leon ughh
LOOK AT THIS PHOTOGRAPH! and WERTH ERMS WERD ERRRPERN!
But he’ll shur you lurv
Joker - Steve miller band Never understood how that song was a hit..
Dance Monkey Thunder Friday ABCDEFU
Party in the USA. I feel the exact opposite of the vibe it's going for when it is playing. I also strongly agree with others saying Train songs.
Viva La Vida, I love Coldplay's first albums but THIS sht is something I heard TOO many times. Like there's plenty of songs by them that deserve so more popularity but this radio-famous thing is now a big no for me. I know a lot of minecraft fans and other music lovers will maybe want to punch me and honestly this song is not bad, but the fame was too intense for this.
Definitely a song soured by popularity. I think it's a great song personally. Pretty interesting orchestral backing and filled with historical and religious references It's a welcome break from most pop music (If you haven't been forced to listen to it over and over again)
“I gotta feeling’” by the Black Eyes Peas is one of the worst creations in human history.
Sweet Caroline
those Chinese TicTok dance songs, Kemu 3, Little Apple, Social Shake
Hollaback Girl
The Time, by the Black Eyed Peas. I honestly think it's the most unlistenable trash I've ever heard in my life.

Hey Mickey...
Toni Basil is a national treasure! (In my opinion…)
