Radio Gaga by Queen
I had to hear that fucking song, on loop, non stop, for a whole week, when it was used to test the speaker systems on the cruise ship I was working aboard. You could not even escape it in your cabin while you slept. 😬
If I heard it come on in the grocery store while looking at Lean Cuisines, it would put everyone in that store at risk.
I used to work in a mall as a teenager/very young adult.
Our holiday playlist consisted of 4 songs.
One of them of was Mariah Carey’s all I want for Christmas is you.
I heard that song every 12 minutes for 2 months. 8 hours a day, 7 days a week.
It now actives some kind of sleeper agent programming in me. All I want for Christmas is to watch a store burn to the ground around me.
Anything by Adele.
I have nothing personal against Adele but something about her singing voice feels like she’s grinding glass into my eardrums. It’s painful to listen to.
That’s exactly it. A friend tried to tell me, “you don’t like her songs but you have to admit her voice is amazing”.
Umm, no.
Not that I would ever literally do that over a song, but basically anything grating like death metal and scremo, as well as disturbed’s cover of “sound of silence” all make me want to get away from that abusive noise as fast as possible. About as close as normal decibel sound can get to physical pain for me.
“Somebody That I Used to Know” by Gotye.
Was played seemingly every hour back when I worked retail. Both in the store I worked in and many others. So incredibly overplayed.
2nd place would be any of Queen’s absurdly overplayed songs. I don’t even hear them as music anymore; they’re just annoying noise.
There are no songs that would make me stab myself in the ear.
The Nickelback catalog. Most of Creed’s too.
Physical cringe when I hear, “I like your pants around your feet”. Gives the shivers lol.
Shake it Off by Taylor Swift
I don’t know the name of it, but the one that goes “it’s all about that bass, no treble”.
These were both extremely popular at the same time at a point when I was frequently going to the gym. If I spent 90 minutes at the gym, I would hear both of these songs three times. I absolutely cannot stand them. I disliked the second one from the beginning and didn’t care for the first, and then I heard each of them dozens and dozens of times over just a couple of months.
All about that bass, by Meghan Trainor. Really did get played to death in popular media.
In the same vein of being played to the death: Pharrell Williams.
It was so awful. A repetitive song…played over and over.
These are the same ones for me too. Also Thunder and Believer by Imagine Dragons, and We Are Young by fun.
You reminded me about that one Green Day song that played on the radio every ten minutes throughout my entire childhood. Boulevard of Broken Dreams. To this day I cannot listen to any Green Day song.
Oh yeah. It’s a shame about that song. It was a good song.
Have you ever tried Dookie?
Pepper by Butthole Surfers

Really? Why? Too much radio play in the 90s?
I’m guessing it’s a reference to the album art, which is a picture of a guy with a pencil in his ears.
Well that makes sense lol. Right over my head.
Specifically this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hi-Fi_murders
(Violence and SA warning)
Here’s the album art for Electriclarryland. I made the mistake of clicking on wiki article that inspired it. Wouldn’t recommend.

Good night everyone!
I sometimes scratch my ears like this, despite of it being very dangerous.
Me too, and it’s disturbing we have found something less stupid.
Dance Monkey by Tones and I
Anything by fucking Imagine Dragons. More like imagine dragging myself behind my Cadillac for 6 blocks, it’d be more pleasant
Any song by that caterwauling band R. E. M.
Take me to church
Yes, such a cheese-fest of a song. Can’t help but jokingly sing along with it in the most obnoxious voice possible when it’s on.
I did the same for Gotye - Somebody that I used to know. I thought it was such a frustratingly terrible song, I couldn’t help but mock it when it came on. I genuinely thought I was living in a world full of people lying when I’d be at a party and others would say they loved it. For like 2 years I was just like “you’re kidding right?”
Same here with that song too, I come up with something random at the “didn’t have to…” part and belt out something equally cheesy
Kimbra is a fantastic artist and the song exists only as a vehicle for her voice.
I can’t stand his voice in any song. I turn off my radio when he comes on.
No song, to my knowledge, would cause me to harm myself.
My actions would have caused this to happen so much so that Baba Yaga [1] himself had to enact justice with a pencil [2].

RHCP are pretty high on my “can’t fucking stand 'em” list.
Like, all their songs?
I can’t stand anything they did after BSSM. Totally lost their mojo and every just felt bland. Prior to that - every album was a banger
I hate literally all of their music.
