Songs you find grating.
 

oh let's see -

The Sun Will Come Out - from the musical Annie
It's A Small World After All

I am sure there are countless songs that people hum or whistle that once you hear gets stuck and remain stuck in your head

what songs peeve you off?

"Where Have all the Cowboys Gone" by Paula Cole (both the skull-drill "di-duh-duh, di-duh-duh" backing vocals and the incredibly irritating and fake "righteously aggrieved feminist" lyrics: "I will wash the dishes while you go have a beer")

"Whats Up" by 4 Non Blondes has the most grating vocal of all time, IMO.

"December" by Collective Soul.. it's the awful, boring, z-grade grunge rip-off guitar riffs and the "aren't we ssssscandalous" "turn your head, now baby and spit me out" hook lyrics.

Safety Dance by Men Without Hats

:thumbsup: I CAN'T STAND that song.

Ever spent any time in F.A.O. Schwartz whatsoever? You'll get "Welcome to Our World of Toys" seared into your brain.

Also, while not a solitary song, Lucinda Williams' voice is just grating to me. And, to a lesser extent, Stevie Nicks.

The Umbrella Song
Anything Paula Cole
Anything Papa Roach
"Photograph" - Nickelback

Smashmouth songs
"Follow Me" by Uncle Cracker
"This Love" by Maroon Five
"Jump Jive and Wail" by Brian Setzer Orchestra
"Mambo no. 5"

Babylon - David Gray
Beautiful - James Blount

ANYTHING by Good Charlotte.

There's a lot of songs I can answer this question with, but this is the first that came to mind.

Blount or Blunt? ;)

I have a friend named Monica who loathes that song.

Fly by Sugar Ray. I couldn't change the radio station fast enough when that song came on.

Good call, Butt.

I really like Elton/Billy Joel ... but I cringe every time I hear Candle In The Wind/Piano Man now.

Anything by Shaggy.some of the most horrid crap ever. In fact ANY song with fake Jamaican accent.

I must say I really hated 'Where Have All The Cowboys Gone'.

Umbrella is completly up there with one of the dumbest songs ever.

Anything by the utterly pathetic Toby Keith. Just my most hated person in the world of 'music'.

Anything by Creed. Arghh especially Arms Wide Open

Mambo #5 another 'what the heck is wrong with people' song.

Mmm Bop.. I'd do awful things to those girls. Not sexually, just awful things.

Theres so many.

Older but still annoying as hell:

Tom's Diner
that Fine Young Cannibals song

Holy crap, I was just going to post that, MWB.


What's the Umbrella Song?

"Wonderful Christmas Time" by Wings, or the Beatles, or McCartney, whenever he recorded that piece of shit pile of rubbish!

C'mon, who could possibly not love "Chocolate Rain"? :lol:

Anything by Gwen Stefani solo, though I really enjoy her stuff with No Doubt. Her solo music is really just crap, IMNSHO.

Stone Sour "Through Glass"
Hinder "Lips of an Angel"
Similar songs to these
Any song with 'Shawty' in the title

Oh man, good call.

Rockstar by Nickelback

Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy by some country asshole

"Umbrella" by Rhianna. It's pretty typical R&B tripe.

How do you like the Mandy Moore version?



(I actually dig both the original and this cover)

Blah. I applaud Mandy for trying to make something nice out of it...but like I always say, you can polish a turd all you want, but when you're done, all you have is a shiny piece of shit.
