Mull of Kintyre by Wings. Sir Paul's recent woes are definitely payback for that one.  |

Don't Pay The Ferryman by Chris De Burgh.
I was driving on narrow, winding dirt roads through the state forest, going like a bat out of hell having recently gained my licence.
It made the song some what ironic as my driving abilities made it nearly a dead cert of visiting the Ferryman early.  
PS Nice resurrection and redirection of the topic.  |

**and special honors to Anything by Hall & Oates
I haven't heard Anything by Hall & Oates... is it related to Various's And Many More? 
Lots of thought went into your list but as an officially listed annoying parent/teacher I have played a few of those to my kids.
I think he means [You Are] Everything by Hall & Oats - that is certainly one of their most annoying songs. They were funny on Will & Grace, though.
Hm... where's that stupid "Birdy" dance song. It should be on this list, I'm sure!
Actually, I meant anything that Hall & Oates ever did. I hated Hall & Oates. There was a concert that a whole group of us went to back in the mid 80s. Somehow we ended up at a gay night club with a couple girls who had no clue that one of our group was gay until we got to the club. What followed was an insane night with a drunk, disillusioned ex-girlfriend of the guy who had recently come out of the closet tossing her cookies in an alleyway in downtown Indianapolis. I'll forever associate Hall & Oates with that night and cringe when I hear one of their songs. It was ugly.
That takes us to a new subject.
Which song takes you where?
For me 'Tainted Love' by Softcell takes me back to 1982, rollerskating in the dark with a torch.
Was the first time I had rollerskated and the last.

Damn you, I'd actually managed to put this one out of my mind, but now, I remember. I REMEMBER DAMMIT!
Paul Anka's cover of "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
He produced this album last year, and frankly, if you're looking for sh..te songs, I can't imagine the other tracks are going to be much of an improvement. Dear God NOOOOO

Anyone mentioned Jimmy Osmond's "Long Haired Lover From Liverpool"?

Additions to the hate list:
Barry Manilow
Celine Dion (already mentioned, I know, but hey...)
Barbra Streisand
Rap/Hip-hop/Gangsta type music (Jeez, i sound old)
Boy George/Culture Club
Wham! & George Michael
"It's Raining Men" by the Weather Girls brings back unpleasant memories of a close encounter in a Newcastle nightclub
Country music is a generic dislike, especially the wailing Pat Boone type of stuff, that my in-laws have been known to listen to.
What happens if you play a Country & Western song backwards?
Your dog comes home, you get your house back, and your wife leaves your best friend. |

Has nobody mentioned that crazy frog song? If there's ever been a song that's almost turned me into a machine-gun-toting slaughter-everyone-in-the-local-fast-food-joint crazed-psycho-killer it was that one. And I've only heard it once.  |

Good lists folks. I haven't heard a lot of the songs here, but the ones I have heard I certainly don't like. In order for me to like a song it probably has to be either opera (and I don't like most opera), perhaps some pop-opera, or the guttural, evil, demonic snarling gurgle of a Nordic black/death metal singer.
There are a few exceptions here, I love Eddie Vedder's voice and will haunt anyone who lists him as most annoying singer. |

And I LOVE Hall and Oates!
My, my, how can anyone not like Waterloo, especially after the version Toni Collette and Rachel Griffiths did in Muriel's Wedding?
I also love The Proclaimers, pretty much anything Elton John and would like to rescue My Sharona from the list of despised songs. Throw the rest in the fire, though, I'll toast a marshmallow. 
EM :)
