Anyone have a track that they really dislike?

That song "Let me take a selfie" is so annoying, and so irritating. It feels like someone is scraping their nails down a blackboard when I hear it. I've never had a song make me feel so agitated, but this one is it.

As a result I now hate the word "selfie".

Picking a single song out of a sea of terrible music is going to be difficult, but the Selfie one you described makes me either want to curl up into a foetal position, bite people, or soil myself in protest*. Especially when I'm a passenger in my friend's vehicle, his taste in music makes me question his character and our friendship! I would rather listen to a chainsaw making love to sheet metal.

Not that I can't appreciate unpleasant noise in a suitable listening environment. Interestingly, most of the music I like does actually sound like a power tool destroying something.

Notes about suitable listening environments for music:
1) You don't have radio or MTV in a suitable listening environment, they are forbidden.
2) A car is NEVER a suitable environment for listening to music. I don't care how expensive your speakers are or how loud they can go, all in-car music sounds AWFUL.

* usually all three

I really don't like Muzak.

Also, for some reason, the Righteous Brothers irritate me as well.

Also Hard-core Rap with profanities.

I wouldn't be WRLL if there was a song that I really disliked.

There is one song I absolutely can't stand, it is from a stupid French singer from the 60s but it is quite popular and you can often hear it on the radio in France. I don't know why. I mean, it is a kind of music I don't especially enjoy but I have no idea why I have such hatred for that particular song.

How about that song from 1963, sung by singing nuns?

Taylor Swift never ever ever ever never ever not ever no never ever not ever getting back with her boyfriend ever again is one of those. My husband and I have made that into a constantly running joke.

ouroboros: I hope it's not "Ma Belle Amie," which was done in 1970. I like that song.

"I love it"- Icona Pop. It's got no meaning at all.

The majority of popular music in England today, this encompasses everything in "1 directions" field.
