Songs that make you cringe

Since you mentioned radio commercials, I've always been annoyed by that Zyppah commercial by the guy who sounds like a Bronx butcher, but now they have a singing version! Much worse than the original!

 

The chicken song.....i used to bartender at a Polish club for years that hosted weddings and showers and that thing
was played ad nauseum....

 

I actually watched the movie Beaches a couple months ago, got a little ferklempt when that song came on at the end.

I can’t stand “New York, New York” by Frank Sinatra.

 

Say what you need to say, by John Mayer. I can only pick up one station in my office and when that song was popular they played it to death. I counted once, he said "Say what you need to say" 36 times during that song.

Also, House of the Rising Sun. Not so much whether the song is good or bad, but my older sister thinks it's the greatest song ever. I hate if it ever gets mentioned in her presence, because she feels the need to recite her rendition and thinks it's so funny when she does.

 

Two great posts here !
"Kars For Kids" .........God, I hate that !.....with the guy doing his best Johnny Cash voice
I can't reach the volume knob fast enough
-
"Santa Claus To Town" Springsteen.......God I hate That !.......the fake laugh at the end....ugh !
Played out !......sorry Springsteen fans.
-
My friend started up a band ( of older guys ) - he added "Sweet Home Alabama" to his set.
I asked "Why ?.......you might as well play 'Stairway To Heaven', too !"

 

All Doors music!

 

Anything on Kids Bop Radio (Sirius channel kill me now).

 

How about 'Angel of the Morning'..Thankfully I forget who did it and am not going to google it

 

But Juice Newton was really hot in the 80s...

 

500 miles by the Proclaimers. I hated that song the first time I heard it. The video sucks too!!

Tim

 

I never tire of Imagine - #1 of my top five

I come unglued at high pitched screeching music - can't name any cause I block them out but like the one @Electroguy563 mentioned 'Loving you'?

 

Hey Jude. Talk about monotonous.

 

You Light Up My Life could easily be the reason I switched to FM.

 

I don't like the recent song "Rise Up"
It seems like it gets inserted into any scene that's supposed to be moving and inspirational.

 

Muskrat Love.....puke.

 

Anything by Brad Paisley. And I generally like country music! I mean do we really have nothing left to sing about other than picking ticks off somebody?

 

Just a few off the top of my head:

I Wanna Be a Cowboy
Achy Breaky Heart
The Macarena
Jump Around my House Of Pain
Insane In the Brain by Cypress Hill

edited the last two based on correct info posted below.

I can understand how that would be annoying but Eric Burden could sing his ass off! I love me some Animals but "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" is probably even better than House of the Rising sun.

I remember back in the 80s one of the radio stations locally had a parody commercial for a Debbie Boon's Greatest Hits album. It went like other greatest hits commercials where they talk about a groups hits one after the other and play a clip of each but every song was "You Light Up My Life."

 

That's House of Pain. But I can see why you'd think Cypress Hill, they used some similar effects.

 

I forgot about that one, fortunately, and then you had to remind me.

 

Ah, indeed you are correct. I was actually mashing two songs that make me cringe. "Jump Around" and "Insane In the Brain" by Cypress Hill which I think does use that sound, now I can't remember if Jump Around does also.
