literally none lol

Not even "All I Want For Christmas Is You"

A classmate long ago suggested, while we were learning about WW2, replacing You with Jews.

I can't listen to that song without that memory popping in my head. It's a bad song anyway but...

Pepper by Butthole Surfers

Really? Why? Too much radio play in the 90s?

Shake it Off by Taylor Swift

I don't know the name of it, but the one that goes "it's all about that bass, no treble".

These were both extremely popular at the same time at a point when I was frequently going to the gym. If I spent 90 minutes at the gym, I would hear both of these songs three times. I absolutely cannot stand them. I disliked the second one from the beginning and didn't care for the first, and then I heard each of them dozens and dozens of times over just a couple of months.

All about that bass, by Meghan Trainor. Really did get played to death in popular media.

In the same vein of being played to the death: Pharrell Williams.

It was so awful. A repetitive song...played over and over.

These are the same ones for me too. Also Thunder and Believer by Imagine Dragons, and We Are Young by fun.

You reminded me about that one Green Day song that played on the radio every ten minutes throughout my entire childhood. Boulevard of Broken Dreams. To this day I cannot listen to any Green Day song.

Oh yeah. It's a shame about that song. It was a good song.

Anything by fucking Imagine Dragons. More like imagine dragging myself behind my Cadillac for 6 blocks, it'd be more pleasant

The Nickelback catalog. Most of Creed's too.

Physical cringe when I hear, "I like your pants around your feet". Gives the shivers lol.

"Somebody That I Used to Know" by Gotye.

Was played seemingly every hour back when I worked retail. Both in the store I worked in and many others. So incredibly overplayed.

2nd place would be any of Queen's absurdly overplayed songs. I don't even hear them as music anymore; they're just annoying noise.

There's this one song I keep forgetting the name of but it was super popular in the early 2000s and it was in the radio all the time. Damn I hate that song!

If it's alternative rock, I'd imagine it's something off this list:

Hoobastank - The Reason.
Puddle of Mudd - Blurry. Also, She Hates Me.
Evanescence - Bring Me to Life.
Trapt - Headstrong.
Audioslave - Like a Stone (mediocre song at best. Played non fucking stop for what felt like 5 years).
Three Days Grace - I Hate Everything About You.
Nickelback - How You Remind Me (specifically this one, but the rest of their discography too).
Seether - Broken.
Creed - With Arms Wide Open.

It was Modjo - Lady but damn I would also mention each and every song of your list.

I’m glad they pointed out what the foreign object was.

Rap songs where the artist just blurts out random words.

Aha, I'm onto you. I won't invite any of those songs to enter my mind and rattle around in there for the rest of the day by thinking about them. Good try, though.

Ahhhh! Curse you, some_guy! You foiled my great plan yet again. One day I will succeed and make you remember these songs! Muahahaha!!!!

Take me to church

Yes, such a cheese-fest of a song. Can't help but jokingly sing along with it in the most obnoxious voice possible when it's on.

I did the same for Gotye - Somebody that I used to know. I thought it was such a frustratingly terrible song, I couldn't help but mock it when it came on. I genuinely thought I was living in a world full of people lying when I'd be at a party and others would say they loved it. For like 2 years I was just like "you're kidding right?"

Same here with that song too, I come up with something random at the "didn't have to..." part and belt out something equally cheesy

Kimbra is a fantastic artist and the song exists only as a vehicle for her voice.

No Doubt.

Really? Sad I was just thinking the other day when I heard them on Spotify how great their tragic kingdom album was

Radio Gaga by Queen

I had to hear that fucking song, on loop, non stop, for a whole week, when it was used to test the speaker systems on the cruise ship I was working aboard. You could not even escape it in your cabin while you slept. 😬

If I heard it come on in the grocery store while looking at Lean Cuisines, it would put everyone in that store at risk.

I used to work in a mall as a teenager/very young adult.

Our holiday playlist consisted of 4 songs.

One of them of was Mariah Carey’s all I want for Christmas is you.

I heard that song every 12 minutes for 2 months. 8 hours a day, 7 days a week.

It now actives some kind of sleeper agent programming in me. All I want for Christmas is to watch a store burn to the ground around me.

The Minion rendition of Happy by Pharell Williams. I dare not even look it up for fear I might have to hear it again.

Butthole Surfers - Pepper is great, but it certainly brings intrusive thoughts with it:

I misread this as what song you would hear when you did this.

Well of course, endless noise (tsssss song) by tinnitus. (Made up)

Reminds me of a song about tinnitus called Push It by Garbage

Green Day in general. Feels like emo virtue signaling

Knocking on heavens door - guns n roses

What, you don't enjoy a bunch of sleepy whiny junkies self-indulgently wailing through a three chord Bob Dylan cover for 15 minutes? Man, weren't nineties arena rock great.

I love the song Harper Valley PTA. Great song. Very fun.

Once, before smartphones, on a car trip, one of sang the first few lines, and then neither of us could remember the rest. We then got lost, and spent the next 8+ hours driving before we got home. The entire fucking time it was stuck in our heads, with no respite. Just "I wanna tell you all a story 'bout a Harper Valley widow'd wife" on repeat. Over. And over. And over. And over again.

Once we got home and played, we naively assumed it was over. Alas, our brains had been conditioned. It was there for good. For 2 fucking weeks, it rattled around my skull and my mother's skull, relentlessly. Listening to it didn't help, not listening to it didn't help. Listening to other music didn't help. Sleep didn't help. It was the eternal intro. I thought I was going insane.

I cannot listen to that song anymore.

Angie Baby got stuck once pretty bad, too, but nothing like Harper Valley PTA

Ain't I Right by Marty Robbins

Releases a total banger with "Big Iron"

Shits the bed with "Ain't I Right"

No Marty, you were not right

Every time I hear a rap I want to deafenin myself with a pencil.

My daughter (10) is into Black Pink currently. So I gues anything by Black Pink

"Entrance hidden by bricks and rubble" by Sad dam always makes me want to hide in a hole

There are no songs that would make me stab myself in the ear.

Parallel deserts by Five Star Hotel. Not a bad song per say, just really loud.

Eagles - Hotel California, I hate this song

Anything by Adele.

I have nothing personal against Adele but something about her singing voice feels like she's grinding glass into my eardrums. It's painful to listen to.

That's exactly it. A friend tried to tell me, "you don't like her songs but you have to admit her voice is amazing".

Umm, no.

RHCP are pretty high on my "can't fucking stand 'em" list.

Like, all their songs?

I can't stand anything they did after BSSM. Totally lost their mojo and every just felt bland. Prior to that - every album was a banger

Not that I would ever literally do that over a song, but basically anything grating like death metal and scremo, as well as disturbed's cover of "sound of silence" all make me want to get away from that abusive noise as fast as possible. About as close as normal decibel sound can get to physical pain for me.

FFXIV's Honey B. Lovely battle theme. Everyone else seems to love her theme but I absolutely abhor it.

cupid by fifty fifty and almost every other edit audio, especially if it's one of those sped up or slowed + reverb edits

Just - Radiohead purely for the lyrics "You do it to yourself, you do And that's what really hurts"
