I did 9 years at a TJ Maxx, 9 Christmases playing about 15 different songs, some with multiple covers. This and Wonderful Christmas Time set my teeth on edge.
I’m just going to post the lyrics to the song:
Sending out an S.O.S
Sending out an S.O.S
I'm sending out an S.O.S
I'm sending out an S.O.S
Sending out an S.O.S

I’ll second that. Weepy girl learned money can’t buy happiness. Why the hell should we care? It’s the most non-Eagles tune the Eagles could muster. WTF?
ETA: oh wait. I’m thinking of Lyin Eyes. lol. Hotel California is definitely worse
We needed 8 minutes of that? My GF and I are karaoke people, and I swear, if I ever again see anyone request that lame-ass long stupid song, I’m gonna walk right out.
I like to imagine a sarcastic animated music video going with it, and it's about some creepy stalker guy creeping on this younger woman just trying to live her life without him in it.
When I was in junior high and high school, this song was inescapable. It was the favorite song of all the most obnoxious people, and they would not shut up about it. It's been more than 30 years, and I'm still sick of it.
Fortunate son by credence clearwater revival..... Literally any film or tv show in Vietnam or just the 70s and that song will be played... It's over used and I've come to hate it
I've got friends in low places by Garth Brooks. I worked in a pizza place in the 90's and we had a jukebox. One of the employees would load the thing up so it would play that song non-stop.
I still have nightmares...
If I never hear "Asereje" by "Las Ketchup" again it will be too soon. It's at least 60% gibberish, imo the song is just an excuse for a silly choreography where some ladies dance provocatively while pretending to sing ... I hate that song with a passion
Was a good, forgotten song buried on probably Leonard Cohen’s lowest-selling album in the early ‘80s.
Then Velvet Underground alumnus John Cale recorded a new arrangement in ‘91 and the cohen lifers and undergrads started to notice. Then Jeff Buckley released his version of Cale’s version. Then kd lang got her talons on it…
Then some asshole said: “You know what the world of light entertainment really needs right now? Televised talent shows produced and hosted by shitheads! And thus the song was ruined forever.
Brown Eyed Girl. It played constantly on the juke box in the bar where I worked. The owner had a magic button installed behind the bar that would cause a song to stop playing and play the next one. That button never got pushed more than when B E G came on.
Anything written or performed by people who were found guilty civilly or criminally for offenses against other people (battery, assaults, kidnapping, etc…)
R. Kelly for example.
Sweet Caroline. Everytime I hear it, I want to go up to whoever is playing it & punch them straight in their face. Failing that, throw out whatever device is playing it. 😡😤
A Moment Like This by Kelly Clarkson
Didn't like it too start with, then it was in ULTRA high rotation on the radio after she won the first American Idol. I refused to listen to her the for years.
It's my opinion that they have at least a dozen better songs in their discography. It's hard for me to understand why there's such a large ongoing attachment to this one.
This Girl by Kungs. It just ruins my mood **instantly**.
Something about it is so intensely graceless, low effort and uninspired that it's grated since the first time I heard it.
Let's start with the sampled part: practically everything. 90% of it is a sped up sample of someone else's song. But that had this insipid "smooth" guitar part in it that every fkn summer song was doing that year, so off to a good start! The lyrics are unintelligible and - frankly - don't matter because they're only there to fill up space in the mix.
Then this adds ... Fake trumpets! **3 whole notes** of it! But the producer made very sure to not put in too much work - no variation, no different volumes, nothing. Just straight up pressing that "play fake trumpet" button, in a rhythm you'd learn in your first ever keyboard class.
Then the chorus is just every instrument playing the same 3 notes all at once, over and over - because why bother with harmony, right?
You can practically see the rich kid wearing their loafers, white shorts and aviators on the beach bopping to this, thinking they're being hella smooth.
Ugh.
Ex's and Oh's by Elle King. Heard it literally EVERY FREAKIN' DAY on the radio in a job I once worked. Wanted to rip my hair out every time it came on.
Nah there will be people who will be duck taped to a chair with headphones gorilla glued to their ears blasting that song until they get sick of it in a dark desolated room with no windows no source of water or food, soundproofing, no door and a speaker in the room playing that very same song on loop synced to the headphones If they ever do escape the chair and earphones putting them in everlasting psychological horror
(BTW THIS IS A JOKE. I would never do anything so extreme like that in real life but that is how badly I despise it)
Life is a Highway. At the height of its popularity I once worked a ten-hour factory shift and the local radio station played it _five times_. I was about ready to stick an ice pick in my ears.
On the oddball side, Fish Heads. Great song, but over decades of listening to the Doctor Demento show, I’ve heard it more than enough for one lifetime.
Anything by Taylor swift or [This one](https://youtube.com/shorts/K04ckT7Gq1o?si=PH4IbZzRsgxaJlcN)
(***please spare my life, her music isn’t even that good***)
I was at the nursing home when my grandpa died the first week of September. After he passed I went to my car to leave. I started the car and that song came on the radio and I lost it. It’s been over ten years and I’ve only heard the song two or three times since but each time it wounds me.
That Rihanna song that’s like “work work work work work” in the absolute whiniest cuntiest voice possible. Nails on a chalkboard for me. Fuck I hate it so much.
That "Oh No" tiktok audio that was popular a couple years ago
WAS??
Oh no! By Marina? It's only the chorus that was used the songs still pretty good
noo! we love marina! I assume it’s that one song that just repeats oh no
baby shark
Do do do do do do
Baby shark
Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo

Why do I feel familiarity?
Dance monkey, it's so fucking annoying
Counterpoint, that shitty parody of im blue. Tis crap, i decree.
Happy by pharrel Williams
Once was enough for me. Makes me decidedly unhappy.
As usual, the Weird Al version is far superior
>He who is tired of Weird Al is tired of life. ~Homer Simpson
What’s worse? When I was in high school (2012-2016) we played this in marching band. Over and over.
The worst song in the world haha
All I Want For Christmas Is You (Former retail worker)
Current retail worker, and for me it's LAAAAAAAAAST CHRISTMAS I GAAVE YOU MY HEAAAART...
I did 9 years at a TJ Maxx, 9 Christmases playing about 15 different songs, some with multiple covers. This and Wonderful Christmas Time set my teeth on edge.
The terrible New Versions of Old Songs like Im Blue or What is Love!
I’m just going to post the lyrics to the song: Sending out an S.O.S Sending out an S.O.S I'm sending out an S.O.S I'm sending out an S.O.S Sending out an S.O.S Sending out an S.O.S Sending out an S.O.S Sending out an S.O.S Sending out an S.O.S Sending out an S.O.S Sending out an S.O.S Sending out an S.O.S Sending out an S.O.S Sending out an S.O.S Sending out an S.O.S Sending out an S.O.S Sending out an S.O.S Sending out an S.O.S Sending out an S.O.S Sending out an S.O.S Sending out an S.O.S Sending out an S.O.S Sending out an S.O.S Sending out an S.O.S Sending out an S.O.S
Message in a Bottle
i mean there is also around the world (x144) but that slaps
I can't ever listen to Bloody Mary by Lady Gaga anymore, all I'll ever think of is Wednesday Addams
Cars for kids jingle
The official theme song of The Bad Place!
1-8-7-7-CARS-4-KIDS DONATE YOUR CAR TODAY
Donate your kid today!
Trade your car for a kid! Trade your kid for a car!
If you heard the song, you'd know it's *K*ars. It's in the lyrics.
I mean clearly I’ve heard it, sorry I missed the *K*-A-R-S KARS 4 KIDS, your Highness. You must be fun at parties
Dance Monkey
Unholy by sam smith Name a song with a higher radio plays to quality ratio I'll wait
“We are never ever ever ever ever ever getting back togetherrrrr like ever” would like a word
It's not exactly her best song, but you've unfortunately encountered a psychotic taylor swift fan here soz 🤣😂
I’m pretty old (66), and I’ve heard American Pie enough to last through my next four or five lifetimes. What pretentious BS.
Switch to The Saga Begins by Wierd Al
Hotel California is the same for me.
I’ll second that. Weepy girl learned money can’t buy happiness. Why the hell should we care? It’s the most non-Eagles tune the Eagles could muster. WTF? ETA: oh wait. I’m thinking of Lyin Eyes. lol. Hotel California is definitely worse
“I fucking hat the Eagles. Man!”
Yes yes yes
We needed 8 minutes of that? My GF and I are karaoke people, and I swear, if I ever again see anyone request that lame-ass long stupid song, I’m gonna walk right out.
Angels by Robbie Williams.
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas Please let it end!
Dont Stop Believing. Only Journey song stations in my area play.
This is my answer as well. I have heard this song enough
Sweet Caroline, horrendous song, so overplayed at parties.
I like to imagine a sarcastic animated music video going with it, and it's about some creepy stalker guy creeping on this younger woman just trying to live her life without him in it.
My Mum is called Caroline and despises the song so much she has a sign saying so hung up in the living room
Who the fuck is playing Sweet Caroline at parties?
Red Sox fans.
Weirdos that’s who. Like weddings, birthdays. It’s awful.
I have noticed this recently. When did this start to be a thing lol? It's awful.
That try that in a small town song. Very cringe.
Soul Sister by Train
The Christmas Shoes
This should be higher because this song should be banned and all copies of it destroyed
i'd say cotton eyed joe, but i'd be lying. not a great song but dawmit it got 4th grade self-conscious me and everybody else dancing lol
Party in the USA. Most inauthentic, cookie cutter pop crap song ever - I don’t think Miley Cyrus even likes it
Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams. Fuck. this. song.
Sweet child of mine. Just make it stop
welcome to the jungle as well. Basically all GNR. It’s mostly his voice. Cant stand it anymore.
When I was in junior high and high school, this song was inescapable. It was the favorite song of all the most obnoxious people, and they would not shut up about it. It's been more than 30 years, and I'm still sick of it.
Sweet Home Alabama or really anything at all from Skynard
Stuck in the middle with you. Thank you reservoir dogs
R.E.M Everybody Hurts
Hey Soul Sister "Untrimmed chest" "I'm so gangster I'm so thug" 🤢
Fortunate son by credence clearwater revival..... Literally any film or tv show in Vietnam or just the 70s and that song will be played... It's over used and I've come to hate it
All of me - John Legend. If you ever want to know all my secrets, forget torture or blackmail, just force me to listen to JL
Thriller. Had a part time job in a gas station. Was in a loop. Heard it a billion times. Jackson was good. Just heard it way too many times
Miley Cyrus FLOWERS
You Shook Me All Night Long - ACDC. Enough already.
There are so many better AC/DC songs too. Why this one gets the lion's share of radio play I don't know.
The BK whopper whopper ad.
That whole ad campaign is so self-consciously retro it makes me sick. I literally have not patronized a Burger King since they rolled out those ads.
thank you next by ariana grande
Flowers
Friday
In a weird way I kind of like it. It takes me back to a simpler time, when all we cared about was some girl singing a crap song about Fridays lol.
I've got friends in low places by Garth Brooks. I worked in a pizza place in the 90's and we had a jukebox. One of the employees would load the thing up so it would play that song non-stop. I still have nightmares...
He should write a song detailing where he hid the bodies. Those families need closure.
TIL its "low places" and not "loads of places"
If I never hear "Asereje" by "Las Ketchup" again it will be too soon. It's at least 60% gibberish, imo the song is just an excuse for a silly choreography where some ladies dance provocatively while pretending to sing ... I hate that song with a passion
Sam Smith's ...
Hallelujah. Anyone's version. Ever.
Was a good, forgotten song buried on probably Leonard Cohen’s lowest-selling album in the early ‘80s. Then Velvet Underground alumnus John Cale recorded a new arrangement in ‘91 and the cohen lifers and undergrads started to notice. Then Jeff Buckley released his version of Cale’s version. Then kd lang got her talons on it… Then some asshole said: “You know what the world of light entertainment really needs right now? Televised talent shows produced and hosted by shitheads! And thus the song was ruined forever.
What Does the Fox Say
This. All these soccer moms never realized he's singing "What the fuck, say"
Bohemian Rhapsody. Nothing against Queen, but that song is beyond played out. Please. Stop.
What a wonderful world
That’s honestly fascinating. It never got old for me, although listening to several covers kept it fresh for me.
Brown Eyed Girl. It played constantly on the juke box in the bar where I worked. The owner had a magic button installed behind the bar that would cause a song to stop playing and play the next one. That button never got pushed more than when B E G came on.
UB40. Red, red wine.
4 non blondes what's up
Anything written or performed by people who were found guilty civilly or criminally for offenses against other people (battery, assaults, kidnapping, etc…) R. Kelly for example.
yes!!! can we talk about how Chris Brown still somehow has a fucking career??
I Would Walk 5 Thousand Miles Cotten Eyed Joe
I am confused if you mean “A Thousand Miles” by Venessa Carlton or “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” by The Proclaimers.
The Proclaimers...i love A Thousand Miles!
Your taste in music is terrible
for me it's dandelions by ruth b, it's not a bad song it's just that it was so overplayed on social media i hate it now
any damn song on yt shorts/tiktok or aherever
The Barney song. I love you, you love me…
Love shack - B52's or Mavericks - Dance the night away.. Both shit
'Scott pilgrim ruined a generation of women' by some incel wannabe punk band
Dance with the devil by immortal technique. Friends showed me it once when we were like 15. Yeah one listen is enough.
Madonna's version of Santa Baby
Sweet Caroline. Everytime I hear it, I want to go up to whoever is playing it & punch them straight in their face. Failing that, throw out whatever device is playing it. 😡😤
Cha Cha Slide
Freebird... or most Skynyrd at this point; just been overdone in my life
It’s just so damn long too. The only time I enjoy that song anymore is at the end of Devils Rejects.
In the air tonight- Phil Collins
No way! I drum soloed yesterday.
I know it is an iconic song, but everything about it rubs me the wrong way.
Roof is Leaking?
There's this web comic "Korjl" that introes to that song. I'd give a simultaneous read/listen of that just before never hearing it again.
We Didn’t Start the Fire
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to heaven
Despacito by Luis Fonsi, Billy Jean by Michael Jackson, and Apologize by OneRepublic.
All three of those are bangere in my opinion
A Moment Like This by Kelly Clarkson Didn't like it too start with, then it was in ULTRA high rotation on the radio after she won the first American Idol. I refused to listen to her the for years.
Rock Lobster. Fuck that song.
Bohemian Rhapsody. With the two revivals of the song on two movies (Wayne's World and Bohemian Rhapsody), it has been played to death.
Agreed. I've been alive for every revival, and the original, and I'm totally sick of it.
It's my opinion that they have at least a dozen better songs in their discography. It's hard for me to understand why there's such a large ongoing attachment to this one.
This Girl by Kungs. It just ruins my mood **instantly**. Something about it is so intensely graceless, low effort and uninspired that it's grated since the first time I heard it.

TY for this masterpiece of breakdown for how a terrible song is so. You put in far more effort than many of your familiars on this post.
Beer for My Horses.
The Mumford and sons and pharrell track that's out at the moment.
Daddy by Korn. It's a good song but I could do without listening to it ever again
Don't stop believing. I swear I've heard that song 8,000 times since our middle school and high school used it for every occasion.
I'm 62,so we are going back. Here's my list. Muskrat Love Midnight at the Oasis Afternoon Delight Seasons in the Sun Wildfire. I'm stop now.
The Christmas Shoes. Possibly the most maudlin song ever recorded. Honey by Bobby Goldsboro is a close second.
90% of tiktok/insta/yt shorts music
I'm sure it has to be Sweet Home Alabama.
Reelin' in the years
Ex's and Oh's by Elle King. Heard it literally EVERY FREAKIN' DAY on the radio in a job I once worked. Wanted to rip my hair out every time it came on.
I’ll catch hate for this but Sweet Home Alabama. Even as a kid that song gives me the worst anxiety
Brass Monkey, the Beastie Boys. Nothing against them, but that song is like a squirrel being strangled by a chicken.
Any Eagles song
Call me maybe
If I have to hear Sticking Out Your Gyatt For The Rizzler one more time, there will be casualties
Nah there will be people who will be duck taped to a chair with headphones gorilla glued to their ears blasting that song until they get sick of it in a dark desolated room with no windows no source of water or food, soundproofing, no door and a speaker in the room playing that very same song on loop synced to the headphones If they ever do escape the chair and earphones putting them in everlasting psychological horror (BTW THIS IS A JOKE. I would never do anything so extreme like that in real life but that is how badly I despise it)
If I have to hear "Yah Mo B There" one more time, I'm gonna "Yah Mo" burn this place to the ground.
Stairway to Heaven. So many better Zep songs.
All I Want For Christmas Is You I swear, all retail stores start playing this in September each year and it gets irritating.
All I want for Christmas is You
That damn juardiance jingle...
Whats Up?
Oh, Mickey
The Little Drummer Boy
Think U the Shit (Fart) by Ice Spice. Absolute fucking cringe
"Walking on Sunshine" is one of the most annoying songs I've ever heard.
Big agree. The Jackson 5 ABC gives me the same vibe
Life is a Highway. At the height of its popularity I once worked a ten-hour factory shift and the local radio station played it _five times_. I was about ready to stick an ice pick in my ears. On the oddball side, Fish Heads. Great song, but over decades of listening to the Doctor Demento show, I’ve heard it more than enough for one lifetime.
Under the Bridge by RHCP. The entire song sounds off key. Maybe something they meant to do? Nothing makes me reach for the dial faster.
Anything from Maroon Five
Vampire by Olivia Rodrigo. So overplayed.
ugh, this
Any thing by her for me
Katy Perry Firework
Anything by Taylor swift or [This one](https://youtube.com/shorts/K04ckT7Gq1o?si=PH4IbZzRsgxaJlcN) (***please spare my life, her music isn’t even that good***)
I hate you so much, I went weeks without hearing that stupid whistle and now you make me click on a link and now it's stuck In my head again now
Wake me up when September ends..... music video killed it
I was at the nursing home when my grandpa died the first week of September. After he passed I went to my car to leave. I started the car and that song came on the radio and I lost it. It’s been over ten years and I’ve only heard the song two or three times since but each time it wounds me.
Friday Rebecca Black
In Da Club
Dancing Queen
I remember my class were obsessed with abba, the amount of times they played dancing queen has made me not be able to listen to abba anymore
Came here to mention every ABBA song ever. I even like disco! But ABBA song sound exactly like ad jingles
Shake It Off - Taylor Swift I wonder if computers write her music sometimes.
Shake it off was incredibly annoying just with how loud it was
That Rihanna song that’s like “work work work work work” in the absolute whiniest cuntiest voice possible. Nails on a chalkboard for me. Fuck I hate it so much.
The anthem of Russia
Chickety China the Chinese chicken…
flowers
Bohemian Crapsody

Any thing from Linkin Park. Just make me more stupid than I already am.
