"Pump it" by the Black Eyed Peas, They ruined a perfectly good song (Misirlou)

Newsong -The Christmas shoes. In the "let's make a sad song with a happy tune" this is a Debbie downer sure to sour the mood, complete with the "little kids sing a verse." Let's put the cherry on the cake and give it excessive radio play, especially during the holiday.

Love Shack

Anything by an artist that turned out to be a pedo, RHCP, aerosmith, etc. It makes me sick knowing they're still making royalties and not facing consequences.

I absolutely dislike imagine dragons, but their song cutthroat is criminally bad. It sounds like a joke or a lost bet.

Here's a song that doesn't make me angry, it makes me disappointed.

Bad for Good by Meat Loaf.

Why does it make me disappointed? I'm a certified Meat Loaf/Jim Steinman enjoyer, I've never tried to deny it. Jim Steinman wrote this song for Meat Loaf originally, but since Meat was going through some stuff, Jim released an album of his own with his version of the song. Now Jim, bless his heart, doesn't have the voice to carry it, but the tune is one the best he's written in my book. So the eventual Meat Loaf version should have been a banger. But compare the last 90s of Meat Loaf's version to Steinman's. Meat Loaf is singing it with barely any passion (by his standards). The removed the electric guitar wailing in the background (the best part of the song). Even the choir doesn't seem as into it. The whole thing just seems like it's had the joy sapped from it.

This is in stark contrast to Out of the Frying Pan (Jim, Meat) where everything in the Meat Loaf version is just more and I just god damned love that song.

Thank you for listening for to my TedX talk.

Lady in red

Anything out of Frozen, particularly in Estonian.

Hey Jude

Any of the modern bro country BS, with white dudes trying to rap about trucks and shit. Had a coworker that’d blast that shit and it drove me insane.

Goo Goo Dolls Iris and it's not even close. Fuck that song to death.

My Sharona by The Knack. Everything about that song sucks, fuck it to hell.

All I want for Christmas is you

I worked in retail in the early-mid 00s

Back when Christmas time meant the in-store music CD was just one disk we had on loop for basically 2 months rather than the usual selection of a few disks

I don't think I've felt hatred like it since

One headlight - the wallflowers

Anything Meghan trainor sings is complete and utter garbage

I'm a crusty metal head. It takes a lot, and I mean A LOT, to make me hate a song. Design the Skyline's 2011 flaming pile of shit Surrounded by Silence is the single worst metal song I've ever listened to. At a time where we had major musical juggernauts like BTBAM, Periphery, Protest the Hero, After the Burial, and so many other great technically sound musicians just hitting their stride or deep in their prime, Design the Skyline said 'this'll do.'

I could rip into this thing a million different ways. Lets just start with the fucking aesthetics. It's 2011. I'm a year into college. Hipsterism is on the rise. Scene kids are dying out. These guys are the last vestige of an embarrassingly low period of teenage subculture. You got two lead screamers. A gelfling, and Rhea Ripley 12 years before her time. The bassist is little brother Ethan after Mom said let your little brother be in the band. 3 nondescript other dudes wearing girls clothing who are too embarrassed to show their faces at all. And a drummer who is too good for this shit. They're children of that time. The first thing I thought to my self as soon as they show up in the video even back then is, 'we're still doing this?'

The start of the song is the best part. It's this techy synth stuff with great dynamics that fits the era. It's long enough to make you think we're in for a good ride. Then it drops out and the actual band starts and hooooo boy is it bad. It's pure WHAT THE FUCK! The two screamers go back and forth unintelligibly. The guitars are playing fuck all. The bass drops out like fucking Hetfield was mixing And Justice For All. It's just chaos.

Then you get to the chorus. It's autotuned to shit. In the actual video the gelfling is battling snow that keeps falling into his mouth. The Rhea clone is dry heaving and singing at the same time. He legit looks like he's gonna be sick the way he's moving. Then little brother Ethan comes in. He's the most awkward, no confidence looking mother fucker of the whole video. He looks like he spent the whole day getting yelled at to move like this and you'll look cool, but it was really a joke and he just looks stupid. To the point there's a shot of the Rhea clone staring off and rolling his eyes while little brother Ethan is singing, like why is he here? It's just a fucking mess. The best part of the chorus is this is the only time in the whole song it happens.

Then it returns back to the chaos of nothingness musically and you feel shock. Why am I being bombarded by this? What is the point of this song? What is the point of my life? There are legit musicians at this period of time. Misha Mansoor is working hard on P2. The boys in BTBAM are working hard on P2. Everybody is waiting for the next Contortionist album. You got a whole new movement in Djent. Then this shit forces it's way into the spotlight like a distraction from the Epstein Files.

And when I tell you the description I'm writing is nothing compared to the hate this song got at the time, I fucking mean it. They released their record then split up. The amount of hate they got broke the band up. There was no way anyone was taking any of this shit seriously. That's how bad it was.

Here it is. Do not enjoy.

The only other songs that makes me a fraction as upset as the above is Pause and Rib Woman on Frosting by Bent Knee. I can't prove it but I really think those two songs caused a rift in the band that got Ben and Jess kicked out the band. Ben with out of control creativity that tanked a record on Pause. Whoever decided to have a high pitched alarm go off for a whole song deserves to be whipped. Nobody wants to listen to Jess moan for a whole song like Rib Woman. They're lucky they had the cover of covid to leave, but man that record really upset a lot of people. None more than the band itself. They'll never say it but it's pretty obvious. The Hyperpop experiment was a failure.

The Salmon Dance by Chemical Brothers.

The Shoop Shoop Song (It's in His Kiss) the Cher version.

Hearing it makes me nauseous, and I have no idea why.

I'm seeing a lot of songs here I actually enjoy, and wondering if I've stepped into the wrong comments section.

That said, I do despise that "Anxiety" song that made the rounds on TikTok a while back. The remix (Read: The exact same track) of "Somebody That I Used To Know." It's a solid few seconds where you're thinking you're listening to a good song, then you get smacked in the face.

Feliz Navidad. Mostly due to retail radio burnout. It's annoyingly repetitive, and reminds me of dealing with the braindead public around the worst time of year to be a retail worker.

That's Not My Name by The Ting Tings

This song torture me in my teenage year whenever i switch on the radio, the station will play it so often that i would switch station to avoid it. It still torture me today and i wish i can trade that memory space for other more important stuff than this stupid song.
