Any songs out there that just grate on your nerves or you think the lyrics are stupid?

The chorus on this song just drives me batty.......

Meds by Placebo

I was alone, falling free,
trying my best not to forget,
what happened to us, what happened to me,
what happened as i let it slip.

I was confused by the powers that be,
forgetting names and faces,
Passers by, were looking at me,
as if they could erase it.

Baby...did you forget to take your meds?
Baby...did you forget to take your meds?

I was alone, staring over the ledge,
tyring my best not to forget,
all manner of joy, all manner of glee,
and our one heroic pledge.

How it mattered to us, how it mattered to me,
and the consequences.
I was confused, by the birds and the bees,
forgetting if i meant it.

Baby..did you forget to take your meds?
Baby..did you forget to take your meds?
Baby..did you forget to take your meds?
Baby..did you forget to take your meds?

And the sex and the drugs, and the complications.
And the sex and the drugs, and the complications.
And the sex and the drugs, and the complications.
And the sex and the drugs, and the complications.

Baby..did you forget to take you meds?
Baby..did you forget to take you meds?
Baby..did you forget to take you meds?
Baby..did you forget to take you meds?
Baby..did you forget to take you meds?
Baby..did you forget to take you meds?

I was alone, falling free, trying my best not to forget.

Careless Whisper: "I'm never gonna dance again, 'cause guilty feet got no rhythm". For 20 years, I've never known what that means? :dunno:

Total Eclipse of the Heart: Just annoys the bejeezus out of me.

I hate Total Eclipse too, Barb. It has always bugged me. I think it's partly from the creepy video with the "turn around, bright eyes..." thing. :errr:

Thought of another one! That stupid Milkshake song from a couple of years ago. "My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard..." :puke:

I don't like a song that goes "if I had a million dollars"
The music, the lyrics and everything is annoying

Right now it is the ABC song because Katie has been singing it eleventy bajillion times a day for the last two weeks! Oh and she forgets N! She thinks it is hilarious when I yell "N" at her!

I HATE that london bridge song from earlier this year, and it gets stuck in my head the second I hear it!

Same goes for the stupid hot dog song at the end of mickey mouse club house...it gets stuck in my head constantly!

Oh, I could have a looooong list!

Sweet Surrender by Sarah McLachlan "Swe-EE-ee-EE-ee-EE-ee-EE-ee-EE-ee-EE-t Surrender. *shudder*

What if God was one of us. Um... God was one of us. His name was Jesus. Now shut up and stop trying to pretend that you're "deep."

One Hand in my Pocket. Just plain annoys me.

Darcy
November 8th, 2006, 02:09 PM
Sarah, I agree with you on the God is One of Us. :nod:

And Fast Car by Tracey Chapman. :puke:

YES!!! Awful song! (I hate all B52s songs, though.)

Agree with you, too. Horrible!

Billy Idol's "Eyes Without a Face". I'm sure there's some deep meaning there, but I don't get it.

Me too! Bare Naked Ladies ROCK!! :dude:
One of my favourite lines: I'd buy you a green dress, but not a real green dress that's cruel! :lol:

:headphone I agree!

I still remeber the first time I ever saw BNL on tv. They were playing in the spot on Global News or something where a musician or group would perform in the studio and at the end, the camera crew would clap. :lol: They sang "If I had a Million Dollars" and a few weeks later, I was hearing that song on the radio all of the time.

Karri

dijon ketchups!!! :lol:
I love BNL...esp that song. Reminds me of my barfly days back when I was carfree and broke and a perma-fixture at happy hour:lol:

If I hear that 'I had a Bad Day' (or whatever the eff its called) one more time on the radio I may just make someone have a bad day by slamming my vehicle into them. I effing hate that song! :complain:
Add to that anything by Huey Lewis and the News or Creed.

btw...Hot Diggity Dog is a perma-song in my head. I've accepted that, embraced it, and go around singing it out loud now.

I like If I Had a Million Dollars though.

Maybe that's what I need to do...

I think it's that Disney hires real people (ok, basically just they might be giants) to do the kids songs...so they are actually catchy.

Thanks, now it's in my head and I haven't even been subjected to Mickey Mouse Club House yet today :lol:

I love If I had Million Dollars too. Reminds me of when I lived in Europe. I have to admit to being a Careless Whisper and Total Eclipse of the Heart fan too :shuffle:

Anything by James Blunt annoys the heck out of me. He's so whiny. I can't stand Shannon Noll either (he's Australian so you probably don't know him).

Stacey -- does your post mean that you are slapping BNL for the Million Dollar song? Or slapping Begona for not liking it?

I also really hate Fast Car by Tracey Chapman. I want to run my car off the road when it comes on the radio.

Somebody told me by The Killers. STOOPID!!! "Somebody told me, you had a boyfriend, who looked like a girlfriend that I had in February of last year..." :wtf:

Would you not like Tracy Chapman's Fast Car if people didn't like the million dollars song?

Begona-- If I had a million dollars, I would buy you a monkey. Haven't you always wanted a monkey?

I can not stand the song, "If I would walk 500 miles" by the Proclaimers. Makes me want to drive my car off the road. :gah:

Alysia
November 9th, 2006, 11:05 AM
I dont think I have ever heard that Tracey Chapman song..... I'll have to look for a clip online.

Sandy

Another BNL fan here!!!

I hate hate hate hate that song Blue by Aqua or some such thing. OMG, hate it. Same goes for that stupid ass Barbie Doll techno song that came out a few years ago. They make me wanna :rr:

Bev
November 9th, 2006, 10:10 PM
I may have a million dollars. I need to check my lotto ticket. Per Cami's advice I've been worrying about not winning for a couple of days now, so hopefully I'll have won. Are you sure you don't want a monkey, Begona? Maybe for the wee one?

mama
November 10th, 2006, 12:28 AM
She'll probably like it :scratch:

I love The Proclaimers! I saw them live in Scotland once and it was so much fun :) The whole audience jumped up and down as one to that song :lol:

Alysia

:lol: The Barbie song. That's a good one for the annoying award!

That's pretty funny about the Proclaimer's. :lol: I have a Proclaimer's tape that a friend gave me in college (1990). When I moved to Scotland to study in 1991, EVERY Scottish person who entered my room and saw that tape just about puked and gave me endless crap for even considering playing it EVER! :lol:

I still have it because it's sentimental....... :heee:

I am with Clare. Shannon Noll could sing his songs jumping off a cliff for all I'd care! :rolleyes:

I am not a fan of.. I'm too sexy by Right Said Fred. I think it's his voice that creeps me out the most!

I also can't stand Love Shack by B52's because I was in Rock Esteidford in school and one of our performances was to that song so I spent 5 months learning a dance to that song over and over and over and over! :errr: I hear it now and I wrap into a fetal position and start rocking.

Clare
November 10th, 2006, 02:01 AM
Shannon - the Northern Irish feel the same way about Feargal Sharkey - embarrassed :lol:

Deb - We'd better not go karaokeing together then, Love Shack is my karaoke song of choice :lol:

Sheila can buy me a monkey with her million dollars - I think that would be fun!

On my list is:


any of Madonna's newer stuff
Tubthumping by Chumbawumba (although the band name makes me giggle to say it)
Promiscuous by Nelly Furtado

Clare
November 11th, 2006, 11:31 PM
Tubthumping by Chumbawumba (although the band name makes me giggle to say it)



Is that the "I get knocked down, but I get up again" song? If Yes, then I agree, truly annoying :nod:

Sandy
November 11th, 2006, 11:32 PM
OMG I love "I'm too sexy." It is my favorite one hit wonder song!!!

Alysia
November 12th, 2006, 11:38 AM
:lol: Tubthumping might take the cake!

Ahhhhh the memories!

TtownAnne
November 12th, 2006, 02:45 PM
Yes, that's the one - although I do still like to say Chumbawumba! :lol2:
