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?

@Mitchagain, I've never heard that!  But i laffed my ass off when I read your reply!  It sure is ghastly!
@jerseytrai

I'm always surprised when I hear 'Blister in the Sun' at MLB games.  
Here's a couple stinkers nobody mentioned;  "Puff the Magic Dragon" and "Leavin' on a Jet Plane".  Peter Paul,and Mary. Wasn't Peter a pervert? Or was it Paul?
@shtinkydog, are you familiar with the Nick Lowe song "All Men Are Liars?"

If not, I think you'll appreciate the following lyrics:

Well, do you remember Rick Astley?
He had a great fat hit, it was ghastly.
He said I'm never gonna give you up or let you down,
Well, I'm here to tell you that dick's a clown!
Dare I say "Stairway to Heaven",it was good in it's day ,but they played it into the ground!
“Rubber Ducky”
”My Dingaling”

Both came out in the top 40 at the same time. Both suck just mightily!
"Purple People Eater"
"Ina Gada Davida(?)"
"Blinded By The Light"
"Pinball Wizard"
"Elvira"
"Turn The Beat Around(Gloria Estefan version)" 
Great thread. 

A tie:

“They’re Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa” by Napoleon XIV. 

“We Three Kings” by Alvin and the Chipmunks.

Best experienced on a SOTA mega-buck system, they  sound, feel and elicit the same visceral response as a dentist’s drill with inadequate Novocaine. 
two more worthy candidates:  The Candy Man Can (Sammy Davis, Jr.) and Indiana Wants Me (R. Dean Taylor).  Just awful, both of them
Funkytown by Lipps, Inc.-- What was the point of that song?
Endless Love by Lionel Ritchie and Diana Ross, I felt mired in honey.  Irritated!
Funkytown by Lipps, Inc. -- What was the point of that song?
Endless Love  by Lionel Ritchie and Diana Ross. No reason, it just irritated me.


Agree with loonytunz on Freebird.  Here's a vomit inducing trio; Kenny G., Michael Bolton ,and Debbie freakin' Boone!
I've been avoiding this thread because I knew it would be painful; but, thankfully, the humorous comments have more than made up for it.

After scouring the recesses of my memory, I came up with a song called:
"Gimme Dat Ding." I can't remember who did it (I refuse to call them an "artist"), nor do I want to know. I think that it came out in the late 60's or early 70's (probably 68 - 72).
Not sure if they are already gone, but if not Micharl Bolton and Barry Manilow 
MUST DIE!🧐
@rockysantoro--OP didn't ask for most annoying albums but if he had "Frampton Comes Alive" would also have been at the top of my list--i wonder how it sounds played backwards ?  Won't ever know cause thankfully i don't own it !!!
@rockysantoro I was about to play "Frampton Comes Alive" last night on Tidal  and I literally said to myself, nah too annoying.

@jacksky When I was planting trees up in northern Canada close to 30 years ago I decide to serenade the rest of the tree planting crew with Roxanne and other Police hits while we waited for a helicopter. The looks on the crews faces made me think that I had done the best rendition of Roxanne or the most annoying.

Agree, Eddie singing in the cell in 48 Hours is a classic scene.
Gotta love this thread and jump on.
Call me crazy but Eddie murphy's Roxanne  in the movie 48 hours when he's in jail singing with headphones on is a better version than the Police.
And a warning to y'all, do NOT put Kung Fu Fighting on this list, that's a classic.
And what's that song about the boss who cheats with his secretary Maria... Oh yeah, Take a letter Maria, don't recall artist.

dtximages,

I have to agree with you about their version of Africa. I don't find it annoying, but they certainly didn't add anything to it. The guitar has a little more crunch to it, but the vocal harmonies are not mixed in the correct balance, which is everything with that song. I'm sure that they meant well, but this time, they should have left it to the experts.   

"Africa" by Weezer.  I want to run off the road when I hear this crappy version of a great song.
“1877-cars for kids...”. There.  Get THAT out of your head. +!+!+!

+1+1+1..........
Two horrible songs by two great bands:
Steve Miller Band - Abracadabra
Santana - Winning
Every one of those Leonard Cohen's Hallalueh covers, especially when they think it's religious. 
 Maxwell's Silver Hammer by the Beatles hell it was so bad Paul had to do the song by himself because the other three Beatles couldn't stand it
Most songs by the Beach Boys, especially Fun, Fun, Fun.

+1 .. I can't change a radio station fast enough if a Beach Boys song comes on. 
If I never hear 'Every Breath You Take' again I'll be a happy guy. Good song but I swear it gets played everyday somewhere.
A recent Smooth Jazz release by Bob Baldwin called Submarine. Absolutely the most annoying piece of music I ever heard. I run to the receiver to shut it off....

"Repeat until your $5.00 of credit is gone
Maybelline by Chuck Berry"
Sure way to make me stay.

unsound,

The radio jingle for : " Cars for kids ".   :-(
You need to listen to it again. You have not mastered it yet.

...KARS FOR KIDS, KAY-AY-ARE-ES, KARS FOR KIDS

My favorite juke box prank:
Repeat until your $5.00 of credit is gone
Maybelline by Chuck Berry

THEN RUN

That's exactly what happened when i broke the jukebox--couple expat teenage girls put on who-knows-how-much-worth of Achy Breaky Heart (anything more than once is already torture!) and then left the bar laughing...i refused to abandon my drink so there was only one thing left to do
