Sickly Sweet songs that make you wanna puke

For me it's that song Daughters by that yuppie poser John Mayer. How this song won best song... oh yeah it's the Grammys. Where this little creep gets off giving parents advice on raising their kids I don't know.

Stay away from the deep world weary advice giving songs until you reach puberty Johnny boy.

C'mon, you don't like DAWTAS?

FaTHaZ BAY gOOd-ah tu yow DAWTAS tOo-ah.

Seriously, I fucking hate that song and his "sound".

-----------------

Almost any Celine Dion song. Although she has a good range and a decent voice (I guess), her songs are puke-a-licious. It doesn't help that my mama loves her and I have to listen to it when I drive anywhere with her.

Power of Love can only last so long before I have her pull the car over on the interstate so my lunch can go on the highway sign.

I Agree 100%, The only Black people Paul McCartney comes in contact with are the ones whp carry his luggage for him at the Hotel.

That whiny poosy song by Savage Garden from a few years ago. I don't know the name of it, but the one that goes "I want to climb with you on a mountain, I want to swim with you in the sea", or some shit like that.

First song that came to my mind as well. A close second:
I will Always love you - Whitney Houston (aka the Bodyguard song)

I always thought it was infinitely more sickly-sweet when Dolly Parton did it originally. I mean, she did the damn thing at the end of every one of her shows on TV.

Even that can't compare to the sheer pukefests of "The Girl is Mine" (his duet with Michael Jackson) or "Old Fashioned Love Song". I love the Beatles as much as the next man, but post-Beatles Paul is generally awful.

"Truly, Madly, Deeply". If you think that was puke-a-licious, check out their Number One that followed called "I Knew I Loved You". They even admitted they were taking the piss outta the whole "love' song' thing after the record company begged for another "Truly..." - and it was even more successful.

I LOATHE that Britney tripe about not quite a woman, not quite a girl or whatever it is... Not a girl, not quite a woman = WHORE!!!!

Stevie Wonder has done some good stuff, but he was also a regular on the sickly sweet charts.

"Ebony & Ivory" was bad, as was that other collaboration "That's What Friends Are For" and his "I Just Called To Say I Love You."

Ebony and Ivory is hard to top, but for me almost anything by Whitney Houston would do the trick especially The Greatest Love of All.

Whaaaat? I can see you saying that about his later stuff but Bellbottom Blues is a classic.

Do you wanna see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you wanna beg me to take you back?
I don't wanna fade away.

are classic lyrics of yearning for a lost love. Certainly nothing sickly sweet about it.

it more has to do with people from my friends' study abroad program that would listen to that song over and over and be all touchy feeling and so on. I didn't mind it before, but they ruined it. I've never liked Eric Clapton for some reason also. I'm not sure where it all came from, but it's stuck with me for as long as I can remember.

I'm not a huge Clapton fan either but the Derek and the Dominoes album is a classic.

Kokomo by the Beach Boys. Pure Garbage. Close second Lee Greenwood's Proud to be an American. Another overrated piece of trash that we have to endure until I change the channel.
