Songs that make you want to shoot out the car radio (Earworm warning)

[Bossy Monkey]

Which is a lot like a Worst Song Ever poll, except for the two at the end just for DUers. Note to freeper disruptors, DUMB bloggers, etc.: it's not because we hate America; it's because this Nashville bilge is a blatantly cynical and disgustingly successful attempt to manipulate the less bright of the general public into supporting the people who REALLY hate America.

PS: As a matter of fact, I can spell Celine Dion. :)

1. "I Will Always Love You" - Whitney Houston

Or..."I Will Always...Love YOUUUUUUUUUUOOOOOOO"

God, I hate that song. It makes my ears bleed.

Miss Houston took a perfectly nice Dolly Parton song and made it unlistenable.

[supernova]

6. Gotta agree there

Whitney is way to melodramatic. She's got great pipes, but never learned how to work them. It's a shame she never took lessons from Barbra about how to belt out a song.

The others: Copacabana, Muskrat Love, etc. get a pass from me simply b/c they're out of heavy rotation (or not in it at all) on the stations I listen to.

[Bossy Monkey]

7. It's the theme from "The Bodyguard" (choice #6 above)

and made me switch off HBO for roughly a year.

[rppper]

46. my ex wifes song to me....bleeeeech...

"iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii...will alwaaaays....lovvve youuuuuu...ewwww.....ewwwww....ewwwwwwwwww"....

[7th_Sephiroth]

19. that

bring me 2 pina colatas song

[Skittles]

26. OMG

I heard that once in a department store - I had to leave; it was giving me a massive headache.

[_NorCal_D_]

30. LOL

I agree. It gives me the shivers just thinking about it! :scared:

[liberalhistorian]

2. Well, it was a real hard

choice between the Bodyguard Theme (hate it, hate it, HATE IT!), and the Greenwood jingoistic wingnut tune, but God Bless the USA won out in the end because I'm so fucking sick of hearing it played over and over and over and over and over and over, and if you don't agree with every single word and loudly sing along, you're an anti-American commie who hates America!

BTW, I LOVE Barry Manilow, (he gives a helluva concert) and Copacabana is one of my favorites, SO THERE!

[MinnFats]

great headline, I think it was from the Onion:

"Lee Greenwood hopes for new war so he can sell a few more copies of that goddamn song"

[MinnFats]

36. great headline, I think it was from the Onion:

"Lee Greenwood hopes for new war so he can sell a few more copies of that goddamn song"

[LTR]

40. Ignore this message

Posted in wrong place.

It's getting way too late!

[LTR]

44. "Copacabana" is a hoot!"

Always hated Barry Manilow, but I was in a dance club (First Avenue in Minneapolis) a few years back. They tend to be outrageous with their mixes (like mixing in Judas Priest with loud techno) and on came "Copacabana". That dance floor was packed!

[brainshrub]

3. What's wrong with Copacabana? Great song! n/t

[jus_the_facts]

4. I'd like to nuke all country stations right off the dial m'self....

:nuke: :puke: :nuke: :puke: :nuke:

[eyesroll]

5. For me, it's now "Conga" by Miami Sound Machine.

It came on when we were flipping channels in the car. Sitting at a stoplight, we noticed the guy on the other side of the street was obviously listening to the same station, because he was bopping his head in rhythm. Getting real into it, too.

Every time that song comes on now, though, that's all I can think of.

[underpants]

8. Lee Greenewood twice a day for two straight years

When I was in the Army (90-93) they played that song every morning and afternoon. We had to stand at parade rest for it. Eventually they stopped doing that but we pretty much had to stand there and just sort of stand there until it was over.

[wysimdnwyg]

9. Lee Greenwood, hands down

As a "band dork" in HS, we played this damn song once for some tv special. Now, every time I'm with my dad and we hear it, he says, "there's your song!" (You know, after 15+ years, you'd think he'd get over that. And to hear him, you'd think that's the only fricken' song we ever played.) :mad:

[wtmusic]

10. What's the 'mdn' for in your screen name?

[wysimdnwyg]

14. most definitely not

[Tyler Durden]

25. AMEN and HOORAH. Greenwood sucks ass.

I would rather listen to a 10 song Britney Spears/Christina Aguilara tribute with no commercial interuptions once a week for the rest of time, if someone could simply erase that piece of country ass trailer park jingoist rePuke SHITE from my memory and never play it again.

[wtmusic]

11. Pretty much anything by Manilow

"I Write the Songs' is making me queasy just thinking about it.

'I am music...and I write the soooooooooongs!'

Eeew.

[OneTwentyoNine]

34. Song written by Bruce Johnston about Brian Wilson....

Makes it somewhat more torable....

[johnnie]

12. have you forgotten

That have you forgotten song had me in stitches. My bandmate called me up and said "you have to hear this song" I found it online and laughed my ass off. The lyrics are terrible...Talk about rushing a tune to cash in. I am no Dylan, but I do write songs, and I could have written that trash on acid and valium while in a coma.

[eyesroll]

17. You can't sing the word "Pentagon."

...at least you can't sing it and have it sound good.
Nope. You just can't.
:puke:

[OneBlueSky]

13. "You Light Up My Life" by Pat Boone's kid . . .

makes me want to hurl all over my white bucks . . .

[boxster]

15. Lee Greenwood. That is the corniest damn song on Earth.

People around here (red state warning!) were actually trying to get a petition going to replace the National Anthem with that stupid song.

Uh, no.

[Zuni]

16. no shit?

I would never have some country music/sean hannity crap as my national anthem. The Star Spangled banner does just fine for me.,

[_NorCal_D_]

31. What?

LOL it must have been some kind of sick joke right?
:shrug:

[mndemocrat_29]

18. Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle

Like nails on a chalkboard.

[LTR]

43. AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!

What an awful song that you just put in my head!

[noonwitch]

20. Wake Me Up, Before You Go-Go

God knows, I hate Wham/George Michael.

[manderley]

21. "Complicated" Aril Lavign

Can't stand that little punk. As far as I'm concerned she's just as bad as Britney S.

[grannylib]

22. Well, Rap really doesn't HAVE songs, per se....

But anything rap-oriented with a bass-boost so loud you can hear the a-holes coming a mile away...

[LuLu550]

23. I get knocked down but I get up again...

THAT ONE!
x(

[qwertyMike]

24. Eagles, Fleetwood Mac

It was over 20 years ago already!

[NuckinFutz]

27. what's that one by Toby Keith??

The Angry American, maybe??? The one where he says,"we'll put a boot in your ass. It's the American way!" That one makes me wretch. Couldn't believe this song was played at my city's July 4th fireworks display! As the finale, no less!

Also, not to insult the Dixie Chicks, I usually like their stuff, but they should've left Landslide alone. Their version makes me cringe.

[geniph]

28. Anything by Hall & Oates

but particularly Piss on My Fist, or whatever the name of that irritating earworm is.

[last_texas_dem]

39. Blasphemer!

:-) Sorry, Hall and Oates are one of my favorite all time groups/artists. Sure, they're not for everyone but I've never heard anyone who considered them to be anywhere near an "all time worst." Ahh well, to each his/her own...

[bleedingheart]

29. I hate anything that starts off sounding like a police siren

there was a Yes song years ago that would make me jump when I heard it because i thought I was getting pulled over.

[OneTwentyoNine]

33. Emm...Indiana wants me? R Dean Taylor??

Indiana wants me,Lord I can't go back there. Hey,might be worth changing the words around to fit Pigboy!!

Palm Beach wants me,Lord I can't go back there....


David

[TimeLord]

32. Any Steve Miller tune....

[Kat45]

35. I'd vote for "all of the above"

but it wasn't a choice!

[Mysterio]

37. lee greenwood song.....

....I hate that damn song. Also, I despise Britney Spears, boybands, any pop music.....country music! I feel like breaking the radio whenever I hear that crap....as for as the "I get knocked down" song....It's by Chumbuwumba.....horrid song also. (shivers)

[Syn_Dem]

38. Geeez

Whats up with hating the Bodyguard theme song? That song has a somewhat sentimental element for me. It was the official "Shayn is leaving Whitfield High School" theme....and they played it at assembly on my last day *sniff* :cry:

[LTR]

41. "Have You Forgotten"

Sounds like a realy bad, ignorant history lesson.

Whatever hapened to Daryl Worley (does that sound like a made-up country name or what)?

Also irritating: That noise-rap they play on Kiss-FM. Maybe I'm getting old (I'm 35) and I've listened to some pretty ourageous stuff, but lemme tell ya - that ain't music!

[kyrasdad]

42. I yee I yee I yee I Will Always Love You ou ou ou

has gotta be the worst. The only worst song besides that is the origional version by Dolly.

My Heart Will Go On... sorry... I still puddle up every time I hear it... I had to be the only 35 year old guy sobbing like a 6 year old girl in a theater audience of 12-16 year old girls when Rose said... "Jack, there's a boat Jack"

And I'm not ashamed to admit it... I love Celine Dion dammit... Although in person, she has to be the dorkiest performer ever...

[Dancing_Dave]

45. Anything with a Video on The Nashville Network!

With the one obvious exeption of the great Johnny Cash video. Come to think of it, the Dixie Chicks made a few pretty good songs into videos too. But 99% of the crap is the most stupid and bogus sh_t in the history of American popular music. Way worse than some obviously silly '70's hits, which were really allright in their place...which was never my record player.

[LynneSin]

48. There is no more TNN (The Nashville Network)

They're now SpikeTV.

But there is CMT - Country Music Television

GO figure!!

[JDavidChadwick]

47. New Found Glory

I really do not dig this neo-punk trash. People really need to learn how to sing.

But I don't really understand everybody's problem with Lee Greenwood. Explain it to me.
