Songs That Make You Want to Rip Your Ears Off

I did not know that. So Suzanne Vega isn't responsible for the tunelessness and the annoying lyrics, but she is responsible for propagating it.

I'd let her off the hook, but she also gave the world "Luca." Also, there's something about her singing voice that bugs. It's just so mealy.

Taylor Swift's "Picture to Burn."

State the obvious,
I didn't get my perfect fantasy
I realize you love yourself more than you could ever love me
So go and tell your friends that I'm obsessive and crazy
That's fine; I'll tell mine you're gay

Way to trash someone's life for not being Prince Charming. You aren't Cinderella, honey. Frankly, you sound obsessive and crazy!

I especially like the use of "gay" as an insult. In 2009.

I nearly screamed when I heard it the first time. Now I just change the station.

Aww, I liked Tom's Diner, although yeah, I can see how it could be easily annoying. The funny thing is that I heard it just a couple of days ago. Someone had it playing on their car radio, while they were parked, and the guy in the car was singing along, and I found myself singing it to my dog as we walked past.

I don't know what band it is, one of those generic new crappy rock bads, but that song "Hollywood Whore" or whatever I hate, hate, hate. At the end, when the guy says "Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya" or something? Freaking disgusting.

The original acapella version was hers. A British group added on the beats over her recrding and that's the version that was everywhere.

Papa Roach, according to Google. I'm surprised they're still around. (Haven't heard the song, but I only listen to the radio for about an hour a week anymore.)

Do I need to register with some authority somewhere, to let them know that I can't be held responsible for my actions if I hear "Hands Up" played?

Carrie Underwood: "Home Sweet Home".

Honey, do you even know what "I had to run away high, so I didn't come home low" actually MEANS?

I haven't been this...perturbed since Mariah Carey's "Bringin' on the Heartbreak".
