I was sure I'd mentioned Seasons In The Sun before. It was probably in the "One-Hit Wonders" thread.
"Sexy Back" has a place in my heart, because without it, Howard 100 would never had made the parody of it- called "Robin's Crack"...
And not all boy bands bite.
"I'm wanna Finger-Bang-Bang you into my life!"...then Cartman does his solo.

Turn on mainstream radio. Okay, hear the song that's playing? That's probably it. That sounds about right for me. I hate ALL emo. I would rather rip my ears off and then eat my eyes than listen to any of that emo crap. [glow=red,2,300]JUST SLIT YOUR WRISTS AND GET IT OVER WITH![/glow] (I feel better now) Crank Dat Soulja Boy and almost any other Crank Dat song( except for two). It's deep hurting all over again. You can defend rap all you want, but let's be honest here: it's degenerated into a produce-by-numbers racket. (Insert beat 24, combine with sample 135, and start shouting) And Soulja Boy is the finest, most prominent example of this. And yet, young unseasoned ears are bombarded with this uncreative, profit-driven bullsquat and are trained by top 40 radio to think it's the shiznitt. Where the hell did it all go so wrong? How did we go from Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five's "The Message" to "Supermannin' that ho"? And let's not even get into Kanye West. Just don't even go there.

There are quite a few that I can't stand.
-We Built This City (On Rock and Roll) -Afternoon Delight (although I loved it in Anchorman) -In The Summertime by...I forgot. My dad listens to it all the damn time -Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time by Paul McCartney -Smack My B*tch Up by Prodigy -Lollipop -That stupid Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows song -My Humps by Fergie
And my number one most hated song of all time...
Crank Dat by Soulja Boy. (sp?) Dear God, they use to play it all the time at my work. Whenever that song played, you could hear some very colorful language coming out of my office.

-We Built This City (On Rock and Roll) LOL I can remember this song was HUGE when I was in 6th or 7th grade. Pretty dreadful.

Sorry
Try having to listen to it in your work while the howling wind and rain are battering hell out of the building EVERY DAY! Ha!
In all honesty any song that declares "It's summer" shouldn't ever be played in Scotland! It's just heartbreaking!

-That stupid Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows song
I think the only time I've ever heard that one was on the Simpsons' episode. Homer was cranking it in the car, while Bart was rioting inside the stadium because Spinal Tap ended early. Funny.

Yeah, the first time I heard that song was on The Simpsons, but then I started hearing it all the time at work. That song is great in The Simpsons but awful in reality.

I have to correct myself as that is NOT the song playing during the Spinal Tap riot (unless The Simpsons used it twice?). When Marge and the new neighbor lady took a drive "Selma & Louise Style", the first tape played was the Sunshine song. Oops, wrong tape. Cue: Welcome To The Jungle

Anything by Foreigner, Styx and Journey - Or any of those other 70’s era bands that sound just like them. They made some of the most banal rock music ever.
Rolling Stones, Emotional Rescue - The Stones have some good songs and they have some bad songs. Then there’s Emotional Rescue. Its got a dry, not very funky disco sound and the lyrics are completely forgettable with the exception of the dude at the end who says very loudly, “I want to be your knight in shining arm-or, coming to your emotional res-cue.” The voice is slow and deep and just kind of comes out of nowhere.
Whenever I hear that song on the radio I turn it down really low so its barley audible and when it’s almost over I crank up the volume and laugh my ass off at the dudes hilarious out of place voice.
Any fake grunge song from the 90’s that as just a bunch of words thrown together at random. - In the 90’s grunge came out of nowhere and killed 80’s Hair Band rock almost over night. (Yay!) A bunch of grungy-sounding imitators soon followed and they sucked ass. (Boo.) Culprits include Bush and any other band that sounded like them, and there were a lot.
Some Lilith Fair artists cover AC/DC - A while ago some radio station was playing an album cover of AC/DC’s Back in Black by various artists. The bands doing the covering were all female vocalists and it was like they hadn’t put any serious thought into the project before they started on it. The problem is that most of the songs are either blatantly sexual from a male perspective or require a heavy rock sound to make them work. (Or both!)
I’ve herd some woman seriously rock out before, but not on this album. They were almost all singing in bubble gum pop voices to sterilized musical renditions of the songs. The people who tired to take it in a different direction fared ever worse.
There was one girl singing, “Giving the Dog a Bone” to a sort of Middle Eastern acoustic thing. Every time this poor girl had to say, “I’m giving the dog a bone”, they tried to disguise how incredibly awkward the lyric was by doing a backwards echo thing, but that just made it worse because it was obvious what they were trying to do. Other songs fared no better, (“Let me put my love into you babe, let me cut your cake with my knife!”) and it was like looking at a train wreck but with my ears. I just couldn’t stop listening to it.
Lastly, while I don’t think they’re bad songs necessarily I too would die a happy man if I went to my grave without ever having to hear Sweet Home Alabama or Free Bird again. Seriously, I hate those songs now.
