I bet a cat or trained parrot could sing I Will Always Love You better

Any boyband song from the likes of Take That etc.
Anything from X Factor
Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas Is You - so sick of hearing it! (and most other festive songs)
Beyonce - Single Ladies/If I Were A Boy (vastly overplayed songs)
David Guetta ft Kelly Rowland - When Love Takes Over (also overplayed and overhyped)

The whole thing sounds like a depressed cat stuffed into a set of old bagpipes that are slowly driven over by a steam roller.

AND Carole King is a Godess.

Along with Gerry Goffin she wrote some of the most iconic pop songs of the 1960's, including what is in my opinion the greatest pop song ever, Will You Love Me Tomorrow.

Plus Going Back - One of Dusty Springfield's greatest recordings.

And (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman.

It Might As Well Rain Until September was written and recorded when she was Nineteen. And it's a pretty good song.

Sorry if my choice has cause any offence. It's probably a personal thing but "September" to me sounds like the audio equivalent of being coshed with a sock stuffed with a mix of Lego and Gravel.

I had no idea Natural Woman was hers also. But now it all fits in -- it must be me having some kind of "hate spot" for King because whenever I hear that dirge, I don't feel like a natural anything, I feel like killing myself. It just drags on and bloody on. Sorry.

Have to say I'm DELIGHTED that other people put up Whitney's I Will Always You -- I've always hated that mental decibal onslaught. It's not a great vocal performance, it's just a racket. Houston, just shut the hell up! If I wanted to stuff my head in an air raid siren, I'd visit the Imperial War Museum.

There are too many to be definate but I really dont like
'Do you think I'm sexy' by Rod Stewart.
It makes me cringe.

Oh, Paul Anka, 'You're Having My Baby'.

So, so cringey! I can't believe anyone actually got away with that song.

Used fantastically in 'Glee', though.

Also, ANYTHING by the she devil Sinitta.

Damn Simon Cowell for giving her a record deal.

oh god yes that's a total cringetastic one

.. I rank it up there with Dean Freidman's Lucky stars where the lyrics don't even fit in wth the melody . especially the bit

Dean: Do you still love me?

Girl: Yes I still love you

Dean: You mean you're not just being nice?

Girl: I'm not just beeeeeeeing nice


arghhh .. it's like chalk on a blackboard ... and he looks so whimpy when he sings it ... lol

Well we agree on something anyway.

I Will Always Love You is just an atrocious song - I did sort of give creedence to the Dolly version at one time but the lyrics are just so awful.

It also reminded me of the Macarena (which is surely also deserving of a place on this thread).”

No way lol the Macarena just made my 90s childhood lol

I don't normally like to fuel the negative threads but I will make an exception in this case. I fooking hate Jason Mraz' I'm Yours. So annoyingly cheesy, drives me up the sodding wall everytime I hear it!

In part of the song he sings "I'm gonna be giving it my bestest". Bestest? That's not even a real word! Make's this tesco value Jack Johnson sound as childish as that stupid self portrait on his album cover

Peter and Gordon's "World without Love".

Every day, all these exceptionally crap songs pop into my mind so I feel I should just remind everyone of how shiteously crap they are.

I don't know if anyone's heard it, but Amnesia by Britney Spears is atrocious on all levels. It's an album track from Circus, and her pathetic attempts at trying to be "hard" and swearing is just so cringey.

Most Black Eyed Peas songs (Let's Get Retarded and My Humps, anyone?)

Diva and Video Phone by Beyonce.

Break Your Heart by Taio Cruz (Aaarrggghhh my god, I feel like swallowing cyanide whenever that song comes on! The "whoooaaawhooooo" bit makes me sick in my mouth!)

Most Pussycat Dolls songs.

The lyrics to LoveGame by Lady Gaga are particularly atrocious, but I will admit the "disco stick" hook is catchy, and the song is bearable when not overplayed.

Fly On The effing Wall by Miley Cyrus.

Get Sexy by Sugababes. This song makes me feel unwell.

Welcome To Heartbreak by Kanye West. Kid Cudi is great on it, but the lyrics pee me off because it's basically Kanye moaning about how he has too many cars and all that crap. I feel I should share some lyrics with those fortunate enough not to have heard it:

Oh my God, sister getting married by the lake
But I couldn't figure out who I'd wanna take
Bad enough that I showed up late
I had to leave before they even cut the cake
Welcome to heartbreak


Oh how it showcases the amazingly creative writing talents of Kanye West. Such inspiring lyrics. I'm sure everyone can relate to the song. Treat yourselves to the music video.

And I have to mention it again, just because it could win trophies for being so awful: Baby By Me by 50 Cent and Ne-Yo.

I think I've mentioned pretty much every song I hate. Compile these all on one CD and you have the soundtrack to a slow and painful death

Wiley - Take That

Its her song, she wrote it.

Which kinda means I can't take the rest of your post seriously

I think the worst song I've ever heard is 'Too Many Man' by Boy Better Know

Blimey, I love both those songs..thought YHMB was a great song and it always brings back good memories...and I'm also a big fan of the "Deanmeister" and admittedly Lucky Stars probably suffered from being overplayed but a good song none the less, worth checking out Deans other works
