That godawful song by Hoobastank - The Reason

I hate this song. Along with that lovely, and idyllic little Nickelback song that starts with the ever so classy line "I love your pants around your knees..."

Oh! The other song that drives me mad? "Butterfly" by Crazy Town. Kids here's the deal, if someone you're dating compares your love favorably to that of "Sid and Nancy"...run away. At best, they're an idiot who with no idea who Sid Vicious is. At worst...well then they know who Sid and Nancy are, understand how the relationship ended, and well--still think it's sweet...

As if "Unbreak My Heart" wasn't worthy enough of ripping my ears off, now Simon Cowell has to unleash Il Divo's version on the world. Whenever that godawful commercials starts I mute it as soon as I can.

I hate "Butterfly Kisses" with the fire of a thousand burning suns. HAAATE it. It's so schmaltzy, maudlin, and overly gooey that I want to break the radio every time I hear it. I nearly killed the DJ for playing it at my Sweet Sixteen.

If a psycho goes on a playground shooting spree, then sites "Butterfly Kisses" as the reason, I'll give him a pass. That song makes God want to kill fuzzy baby duckies.

Wow--I always thought that "Break-a my stride" song was by Boy George. Huh.

When I was little I had a dream that my scary uncle was chasing me around his house and a song was playing in the background. Since then, I'm not 100% sure what that song was, but the following songs make me want to curl up in a ball and rock back and forth:

Anything by REO Speedwagon or Air Supply
"Woman" by John Lennon
"Lady" by Kenny Rogers

Once I was driving and "You're every woman in the world to me. You're my fantasy. You're my reality." came on and I had to pull over before I blacked out from HATE.

There really is a special place in hell for the patronizing, "You're My Woman/Lady" songs, ain't there?

And in a related note, "When a Man Loves a Woman" is not only a really psychologically disturbing song, but is a really annoying song as well.

For some reason, a local Country stations has decided to play Coward of the County by Kenny Rogers on a semi-regular basis. I didn't hate as much I was a kid (when the song came out), but as an adult, the importance of a woman's being gang-raped is that it inspires a guy to be a man by beating the shit of the guys that did it is appalling (Not that rapists don't deserve to have the shit beat out of them necessarily.).

Gretchen Wilson's "Homewrecker." Yes, let's blame the woman, rather than your weasely boyfirend who responded.

Now honey, I'm a christian
But if you keep it up
I'ma gonna go to kicking
Your pretty little butt
Is that clear enough?

I suggest that kicking the guy is more practical.

Loretta Lynn woulda kicked his ass. Of course, she would have remained married to him, but kicked his ass nonetheless.

*hysterics*

And just reading the lyrics to that nonsensical malarky (thanks, Gram, for the word!) makes me want to poke my eyeballs out and cook 'em in a hearty stew.

Two songs that make me want to kill somebody:

"Where is the love?" by BEP and Justin Timberlake. God, I hate the stupid song. It's so naive and disgustingly simple. The whole song bemoans all the tragedies in the world and then whines, "Where is the love?" Right, that question ought to be enough to fix things. Next time there's a big disaster, I think I'll just yell, "Where is the love, yo?" and maybe then everything will be okay.

"Graduation" by Vitamin C (who has thankfully slipped into oblivion since). Nothing makes me more sick than listening to a grown woman whining about how beautiful high school was and how she and her buddies will be friends 4-evah! Maybe it's because I had a terrible time in high school and couldn't wait for it to end, but this song makes me want to throw something.
