Most annoying song, period.


Sorry if I'm replicating a thread.    I've been wanting to say this for years:  Rick Astley - Never gonna give you up.  What's yours?

Ignoring obvious earworms like Disney's "It's a Small World" that need a good week to get out of your head, lots of truly annoying songs are relics of the best-forgotten Disco era. Others should appear on a "never-play-any-of-these-songs-ever-again" list signed under penalty of death by every DJ hired for a wedding or other function. (And of course, some of the very worst fit into both categories!)

For example, here are a few songs I'd be happy to never hear again:
  • 'Celebration' - Kool & the Gang
  • 'We Are Family' - Sister Sledge
  • 'Love Shack' - B52's
  • 'YMCA' - Village People
  • 'Macarena' - Los Del Rio
  • 'Brick House' - The Commodores
  • 'Electric Slide' - Marcia Griffiths
And my all-time favorite: 'The Time of My Life' by Jennifer Warnes & Bill Medley -- a hugely overplayed song that's expanded from weddings to TV commercials, where it easily crosses that fine line between 'memorable' and 'annoying'...
