Songs That Make You Want to Rip Your Ears Off

[Deleted]

Oh that "I'm So Lonely" song with the Chipmunks-like beginning. I turn the radio station so fast my finger is a blur. What is up with that song ! They play it all the time here.

Good Lord, what is that song??? It makes my ears bleed. Who likes that so much that they apparently made it uber-popular??

Me too! Everytime I'm in the car with my parents and this song comes on the radio, I get embarrassed, not because I like it (and I don't) but its expected other people my age with bad taste like it.

Hollaback Girl

Good glory god do I hate this song. It sounds like something the last place team at a High School cheering competition would spew.

I heard that you were talking shit
And you didn't think that I would hear it
People hear you talking like that, getting everybody fired up
So I'm ready to attack, gonna take you out
That's right, put your pom-poms downs, getting everybody fired up

Mommy make it stop!!!

I don't mind the music part of it. I thought it was fun in a cheesy synthesized 80's way. But I couldn't stand her vocals on it. And usually I like her voice. It just sounds weirdly distorted in the song.

The latest song on my hate list is "Girl" by Destiny's Child. Can Beyonce sing one note without warbling it to death? Plus the song is all about fake female empowerment (don't get me wrong-- female empowerment is a good thing, just not the fakey crap), which I can't buy after all this "Soldier" and "Cater 2 U" crap.

OMG this song owns this thread for me. So much hate it's insane. It doesn't really help that my roommate and several good friends of mine actually like it. WTF! This is not even singing. It's just pure and utter shit.

The other two songs that make me want to rip my ears off are "Get Right"--JLow (for all the reasons Newmy pointed out on page 1) and "Drops of Jupiter" by Train. I mentioned this in the Crap Lyrics thread but every other line is EH EHHHH EH EH. Sung in the most obnoxious way possible.

My people!

There is not enough WORD in the world. It's not just my loathing of Gwen that's colouring my opinion because [small voice]I kinda liked No Doubt[/sv], but that song makes me want to arm myself and go hunting for the nearest bell-tower. A pox on you and your Harajuku girls, Stefani. Get the hell off my radio.

(As a side point, whenever she sings the line about how she "ain't no Hollaback girl", all I can think is...uh, Gwen? You're what, 35? You ain't no "girl", period.)

And speaking of, agreed on that new "Girl" song by Destiny's Child. Aside from the faux female empowerment, what the hell is that Sex and the City-inspired video all about? Way to stay relevant, ladies - the show ended a six year run over a year ago. Bah.

I hate Creed. I hate them with the heat of a thousand suns. For some godforsaken reason, one of my local radio stations decided to play almost 30 minutes of their music. Due to bad weather, I couldn't get another station and suffered through it. So I would like to take this time to say that if Creed hadn't disbanded, I would have gladly paid Chris Cornell and his former Soundgarden bandmates to play 'Jesus Christ Pose' 50 times in row with Creed strapped into chairs before them, with the world's best ending: Scott Stapp's head exploding.

F*cking Nickelback:

And I love your lack of self respect
While you're passed out on the deck
I love my hands around your neck

Oh, that's a WONDERFUL message to convey in your music.

I pretty much hate anything Avril Lavigne puts out, just because my 8 yr old and my 6 yr old LOVE. HER. So I have to listen to Miss Hot Topic 2004 ad naseum. Ugh. Double ugh, considering that my tastes run toward jam bands and indie bands.

Think Nickelback suck now? Check this. Hilariously awful.

(link has sound so adjust speakers accordingly)

My sister's roomie in Vancouver hangs out with the lead singer of Nickelback and apparently he drives around town in his black Hummer all the time, picking up chicks.

I guess it's called "Lonely Boy". Some nonsense about how his parents had the nerve to have another child. He thought he was the only one! His parents had lied! So he suffered through a shit existence until he finally had to leave home because they had hurt him so much with their selfishness.

Now, I remember back in the 70's when they used to play this song all the time. I was only 6 or 7 yrs. old, but even I thought he needed to get the hell over himself.
