My 4-year old loves to sing Let it Go at the top of her lungs…

you have no idea what a four-year-old girl’s capacity for repetition is.

My daughter may have been 5 or 6, but on one occasion the two of us drove 8 hours to visit family. We listened to the Kirby soundtrack (Kirby is a video game series) for the entire car ride. The things we do for our daughters. 😝
 
“Taking Me To Church” - Ed Sheeran - that is blasphemous
First time I heard it I liked the music a lot and the lyrics seemed the struggle of an agnostic but I was guessing they weren’t actually an act of faith. Then I read the whole story of the song, how it had an agenda and the overall message was about how the Church destroys love (like for example gay love in this case). Beautiful art conveying tricksy messages - worst type of music imho
His other songs aren’t quite that great and don’t even deserve mentioning.

Outside the agenda, the worst song for me is “Imagine” - John Lennon - it is so dull and I don’t see the fuss for it and much of what John Lennon wrote on his own. Maybe it was very trendy once but outside of its times it sounds so boring to me that it hurts. And its dissonances aren’t expressive at all, his voice is a little off and no I it doesn’t make me imagine anything. Sorry to the fans in advance. 😊
 
“Take Me to Church” is by Hoozier.

EDIT: I just remembered we had to sing “Imagine” at Mass in middle school. The part about no religion was cut out, but, still inappropriate.

Yes Hozier’s song, Ed Sheeran just covered it. Because Sheeran’s version is less produced I just assumed he is the original author.

Another similarly horrid song (to me, because I like as a song a lot but not the message and am listening to it now 😓 because I miss it just not the lyrics) is The Kooks - “Broken Vow”. For the entire last fall I kept listening to this song, it caught me like the flu.

About 'Imagine" - not only the religion stuff, just the whole song - I never saw the fuss about it.
 
I like some of Ed Sheeran’s songs, so now I’m really disappointed he had anything to do with Hoozier’s song.

I also liked “Take Me to Church.” The sound was so unique, which made me really angry when I read what the lyrics were.
 
This reminds me of last spring, when I listened to the ending credits song of Super Mario 64 on repeat for several days. That songs just has a way of making you happy.

I have to say, I like the music of that song but not the words.

I don’t know if it’s the worst, but ‘Afternoon Delight’ (A-a-afternoon delight!) is pretty bad.

Yes that is pretty bad, and so is another stinker called My Ding-a–ling.

Who has the air freshener?
 
“Zombie” by The Cranberries

Nearly everything by Nickelback.

Nearly everything on the Spotify top 50 right now is pretty difficult to listen to.
 
OH man, I feel your pain, When my girls were little they would sing “sweet Home Alabama” a million times a day. With or without radio play, cd play or just their own banging of pots and pans.
Kids love repetitious songs. Immature adults too. I remember Joe had a co-worker that would sing I know a song that will get on your nerves, get on your nerves , get on your nerves" all.day.long.
I think they finally wrote him up for it. 🤐
 
I’m not sure I mentioned in to the first worst songs thread, but there is this annoying Internet phenomenon called nightcore that started in the early 2000s. Basically, you take a pre-existing song, speed it up by 20%, and increase the pitch. It started with just trance and techno songs, but, now you see a lot of pop and emo songs on YouTube that are nightcored. Often, these videos have the same song on repeat for 10 hours or more and set to pictures of anime characters.

So, yeah, if you ever wandered into that part of YouTube and wondered what those 10 hour anime videos were, now you know.

I imagine a nightcored version of “The Song That Gets on Everybody’s Nerves” would be considered cruel and unusual punishment,

I loved that song. Then I read the lyrics and was horrified. Imagine is also a very bad song.

But nevertheless. Gucci Gang takes the crown for not being actual music and is very inappropriate. Some in my generation love it. God help us

Exactly right, IMO. Same with movies. People think the old stuff is always better because they’re remembering the great stuff. All the mediocre stuff has completely gone down the memory hole. There was plenty of terrible music from 50 years ago. It just stopped being played on the radio 49 and a half years ago, so people forget to factor it into their assessment of the era.

I wouldn’t mind hearing ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ a few times, but all day for any song is too much.
 
I’d rather be dragged across a giant cheese grater than listen to the song for any length of time.

Everything about the song is super annoying 😖
