A. K. A. Which song do you hate the most?
Any of the 6 million versions of Hallelujah except the original Leonard Cohen and Jeff Buckley.
I swear wannabe pop singers see it as some sort of rite of passage but they universally murder it either by trying to replicate on of those two and coming up painfully short or embellishing it with flourishes and superfluous variations.
It doesn’t make you look deep and thoughtful it just highlights what an average singer you are.
There are two songs that I will verbally abuse a movie for having on its soundtrack.
“What A Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong, and “Fly Me To The Moon” by Frank Sinatra.
If you put those songs in…anything, you’re a fucking hack.
WAWW has been used both straight and ironically TO DEATH. It has been played over beautiful and horrific scenes. There’s nothing you can use it to say that hasn’t already been said by someone more clever than you.
FMTTM is the song completely uncreative people put in movies that have something to do with the moon. “We have an establishing shot of the moon and we need some licensed music for the soundtrack. Gee, now what’s the hackiest laziest most cliched pissbabyest lack of a brain stemiest thing we could put here?” “You’re not going to believe this, but I found a Sinatra song that might just be a lazy enough choice. It’s already been used in all the other movies, is that lazy enough?”
Zombie by The Cranberries. I just can’t stand it.
Anything by Drake.
Never be the same by Camila Cabello. Fucking annoying overplayed ass music.
Baby Shark, do doo do doot do doo.
Any modern country song. bonus if they say boots, beer, etc.
“big truck, love christ. Second truck, hate wife”
Trucks!
Whatever coldplay song is on the radio
I was about to post Coldplay too. I hate his singing voice and the music also sucks.
I was gonna say Happy by Pharrel Williams but someone else said Sweet Caroline and I might have to change my vote. Actually it’s not that terrible of a song (Sweet Caroline I mean), but hearing it played at weddings and sporting events and then they pause it so everyone can scream BUM BUM BUMMM does get to me after the 5 millionth time.
Nickleback
Whichever 21 Pilots “song” was played most recently in my vicinity.
Can you save my heavydirtysoul?
Baby shark
Watermelon sugar
Happy birthday, there’s a bunch of other traditional birthday songs passed down in other languages and cultures that are so much better than happy birthday <insert name>
Sweater weather. I already didn’t like the downtempo vibe, but it got painfully overplayed back in the day. Unfortunately, I still hear it occasionally. Anything but that, please.
