What's your most hated song?

Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond - it's a fucking awful song anyway, but I can't escape the memory of my mum singing it all the time. It did help me to leave home earlier than I might otherwise have done though - it was either that or strangle her.

Sounds like the one.

Hey lady, you lady, cursing at your life
You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do
But, I wish someone had talked to me
Like I wanna talk to you.....

Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
I took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me

Please lady, please lady, don't just walk away
'Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived million lies....

Oh, I've been to Niece and the Isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht
I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

[spoken]
Hey, you know what paradise is?
It's a lie, a fantasy we create about people and places as we'd like them to be
But you know what truth is?
It's that little baby you're holding, it's that man you fought with this morning
The same one you're going to make love with tonight
That's truth, that's love......

Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children that might have made me complete
But I took the sweet life, I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I've spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that costs too much to be free
Hey lady......
I've been to paradise, (I've been to paradise)
But I've never been to me

(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to Neice and the isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to cryin' for unborn children that might have made me complete)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise, never been to me

That was the only record my grandad bought in his entire life - he even bought a record player specially to play it.:D He was a devout Jehovah's witness, so no one had the heart to tell him it was about a prostitute. He was mad as a bucket of frogs, obviously.:D
 
Stopped reading after 2nd page as too many crappy songs getting lodged in my brain.

I nominate the Cher one where she really lets loose with a vocoder. She's also in a video on a warship wearing what looks like a pair of tights in the shape of long-Johns. The image of her straddling a gun still haunts me.

"Tears for Souvenirs" by Ken Dodd. I remember someone at my primary school started to cry and was taunted by another kid(s) singing that song (it's a crap song anyway).

It's on the radio now (no 3 in Tony Blackburn's "best selling singles of the 60's" show). Oh the pain.
 
Hey there delilah you know I've only got three chords
Coz I'm a whiny little gobshite and I just pissed in my drawers
Please kill me now

Hey there Delilah what's it like in new york city
You're a thousand miles away because this song is just so shitty
But I don't care
It's hard to give a fuck when you get so much money from saga FM

Ooooooh the mob has come for me
OooOOooOoh the mob has come for me
They all heard my song and now they're sending their best hitmen after me

*bang* *splat*

;)

If that one isn't in the charts it should be. I'm impressed :)
 
There was a Leona Lewis one on the radio the other day that sounded like she was having some kind of asthma attack, then there was the awful X-factor 'Hallelujah' but for overall enduring shitness I guess it's a toss-up between 'Put Your Hands On' by Reef and the awful Titanic Celine Dion song.
 
Baker Street...

Every building site i ever worked on had some cunt
of a decorator with a paint-spattered radio tuned to
Magic FM, and EVERY FUCKING DAY,along with the
racist remarks i would have to endure FUCKING BAKER FUCKING STREET.
(that's not to say all decorators were racist)......(but most were)
 
Paper Lace - Billy Don't Be A Hero

Good sentiments actually (it was an anti-war song) but the execution (singing, musicianship etc. was lacking IMO.
 
Don't mind Gerry Rafferty -Baker Street.... but Mika - Grace Kelly definitely, Lady Gaga - Pokerface I find grinds on me, but in recent years the one record I really cannot stand (I had to leave a shop a few weeks ago as it was pumping from their music system) is sodding Soulja Boy - Crank That :mad:
