How can you say Eiffel 65’s “Blue” is annoying? :S

Some Guy | 11/15/2008, 5:13 pm EST

How do you put Closing Time on this list? wtf…

Some Guy | 11/15/2008, 5:13 pm EST

Steps - 5,6,7,

No discussion.

Silver spoon money | 11/7/2008, 6:55 pm EST

noo!
they forgot surfin bird by the trashman!!that’s like #1

Wam | 11/3/2008, 8:27 pm EST

what about “Can’t get you out of my head” by Kylie Minogue? that is truly annoying

Lezlie | 10/29/2008, 4:25 pm EST

what about “mmm-bop”….it easily could be number 1 on this list

alex | 10/27/2008, 10:19 pm EST

closing time is a class song.
every new begining comes from some other beginings end, brilliant lyrics. it should not be on the list

I know what im talking about | 10/26/2008, 9:34 pm EST

THE MOST ANNOYING SONG IS I “TRIED TO DO HANDSTANDS FOR YOU”!!!!! HOLY CRAP! THAT SONG IS SO BAD!!!

Jill | 10/23/2008, 12:41 pm EST

John Mayer’s “Say what you need to say” is so horrible. It must have taken much thought for him to come up with it-using the same 6 words throughout the entire song is genius. There are many repetitive songs like this one but I keep hearing it on the radio and work and can’t stand it.

Baffled | 10/22/2008, 5:52 pm EST

WTF why are there no Journey tunes on this list?

o.o | 10/22/2008, 1:03 am EST

I think Beautiful Girls and Crazy Frog should be on this. I couldn’t get BG’s refrain out of my head for days. And EVERYONE knows CF is very annoying.

And people, this isn’t a worst song list, it’s a most annoying song list. Like, ones that get stuck in your head for hours (days) on end.

James | 10/18/2008, 5:35 am EST

crazy frog is the most annoying song ever

Stornotoni23 | 10/7/2008, 1:46 pm EST

bob dylans songs altough i admire him are properly the most annoying things ever the harmonica is so piercing and i cant stand his voice

Luke | 10/7/2008, 8:06 am EST

What about that song “Escape”? I don’t remember the artist, but it’s the pina colada song. I’ll have to agree the Plain White T’s are heinously irritating, as is anything by that cretinous hack Soulja Boy. I guess the most important thing to remember about this list is the fact that it’s comprised of songs thought by some to be annoying, not necessarily bad. Aside from the “so bad it’s good” school of thought, there are plenty of annoying things that pretty much kick ass. Like the Yankee Rose video.

HBK737 | 10/5/2008, 6:56 am EST

wat the , blue - eiffel 65 is the best song ever produced and it listed on this list , omg !!!

darkbanana | 10/1/2008, 10:13 am EST

how bout Taylor Swift we all know she is talentless pile of dogs**t torturing the world like with your horrible voice should entitle her to the death sentence by most painful means as possible

mr. cool | 9/25/2008, 10:08 am EST

anything by Miley Cyrus Creed and Plain White Ts

Sir Elton | 9/25/2008, 8:15 am EST

Wham should not be on this list!

I'm Blue (Da Ba Dee) | 9/9/2008, 10:14 am EST

EFF OFF

BLUE FTW!!!!

daniel | 9/7/2008, 8:55 am EST

mmm mmm mmm mmm is AWESOME!
so is closing time

Joey Joe Joe | 9/6/2008, 1:54 pm EST

Here are some artists that I wish would just vanish; Celine Dion, Alanis Morrisette, Jessica Simpson, Christine Aguillera, Brittany Spears, Jessica Alba, Paris Hilton, Reba MacIntire, these women can’t sing. Make them stop. I’ve been turning off the radio for ten years every time one of their songs are put on. They’re drowning out good artists like Aerosmith and Bon Jovi. And my #1 most loathed song all those DJ’s won’t stop playing
“I’m Like A Bird.” ugghh

\m/>_ | 8/31/2008, 5:51 pm EST

no one seems to get that annoying means played to death

Anna | 8/27/2008, 6:01 pm EST

Most annoying song ever Rihanna -Umbrella (actually any song by Rihanna). Also that god awful Sweet home alabama (rip off) song by Kid Rock I hate it!BEP,my humps I’m glad is no1 but der is worse. Fergie-clumsy,fergalicious,Lon don bridge,big girls dnt cry Most Beyonce songs,PCD songs, stupid emo bands eg FOB,MCR,Madonna and JT 4 minutes is a song that makes me think of dying,an crank dat soulja boy song,Alanis Morisette ironic goes through me! Also Paris Hilton songs are real bad ( but what do you expect from her!),50 cent,akon and dat stupid Chris (I feel like cutting my ears off) Brown his songs are high pitched peices of lovey dovey rubbish.Especially Chris brown - With you. Oh and the (it was fun at first song but after hearing it 100 times is awful)’Rockstar’ by Nickelback

hemant | 8/3/2008, 4:37 am EST

uh?

where’s crazy frog???

Constantine | 8/2/2008, 1:19 pm EST

Just cuz a song is annoying doesn’t mean its bad. I don’t think thats what they were going for. Some of them were overplayed for a song of average quality (You’re Beautiful) or have incredibly repetitive lyrics (Blue and Tubthumping) though i’m not going to lie Crank Dat by Soulja boy should’ve been top of the list

Anonymous | 8/1/2008, 11:40 am EST

how did ‘Am i not pretty enough’ not make it on this list?
i hate that song. so much.

Zane | 7/29/2008, 7:27 pm EST

“Hollaback Girl”!
Oh, and absolutely ANYTHING by Souljaboy. I can’t believe these songs are getting to No. 1!

“Closing Time” is on the list because they like to play it at bars & shit when they’re closing, and you get sick of hearing it after a while.

aditya babel | 7/29/2008, 4:37 pm EST

lonely - akon
beautiful - sean kingston

i HATE the above two. shit!

Little Miss Annoying . . . | 7/28/2008, 11:05 pm EST

Wow, I looked up this list expecting to find songs that I absoulteley hate, but I was really surprised to find a lot of songs that I listen to on it. I guess that it really proves that I am annoying to the rest of the world . . .

radiohead | 7/22/2008, 11:20 am EST

This list is half-right and outdated. “Bleeding Love” by leona lewis the THE @#?!! MOST ANNOYING SONG AND SHOULD BE #1!! And Closing time is a great song.

Adrienne | 7/13/2008, 11:56 pm EST

Not gonna lie, I like most of the songs on this list…but how about that stupid “Lollipop” song out right now?

wetbollweevil | 7/10/2008, 2:08 pm EST

songs that may have been left out :

- Monster mash
- Istanbul (was Constantinople now)
- Disco duck
- Underneath the mango tree
- Walk like a man (talk like a man)
- Bananarama - venus (although shocking blue’s original version was nice)
- i heard it through the grapevine for being played a million times
- twilight zone
- li la li la li la etc etc.
- calcutta -dr bombay

Closing time is a pretty good song, a lot more annoying songs than that

Sh4k!r | 6/29/2008, 10:43 pm EST

wow… i found this when i was looking up Semisonic on Wikipedia, and it’s really depressing to see Closing Time on here. It’s been one of my favorite songs since i was a little kid. and i honestly like alot of what they put on this list. i believe that anything to do with the rap thats been coming out lately should fill this list up real quick.

Dr. Spin | 6/24/2008, 3:58 am EST

Most of these songs have varying degrees of annoying-ness, but the world’s worst is the Disdney song “It’s A Small World, after ugh ,AAAaaaaAAAAAaaaAAAAAAAAa aaAAA AAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

I think the people the piss and moan in the Rolling Stones majorly suck at annoying songs.

P. Dude | 6/16/2008, 2:51 pm EST

Why isn’t Xanadu on the list?

eva | 6/16/2008, 9:36 am EST

“i hate jimmy page” should be on there.

anonymous18 | 6/15/2008, 2:53 pm EST

CRANK THAT is the worst.

Garip | 6/14/2008, 4:03 am EST

Hey people the list is ok… they couldn’t put Black Betty or whatever u guys say… all these songs here are good and popular… everybody knew them and they were on the air all the time that’s why they got boring… I would add Yeah by Usher… it was OK the first 126 times… but then… iF yoU C K… Nice work there RS!!!

Ted | 6/3/2008, 7:46 am EST

blue is the best song

Reflex | 6/1/2008, 2:30 am EST

NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP! come on we’ve all been Rick Rolld lmao

Alex E | 5/28/2008, 11:22 pm EST

How come “Crank Dat” is not the list??

Greg | 5/27/2008, 2:20 pm EST

Has anyone forgot the Hanson group and thier song Um bop?? That song was ok the first 100 times they played it and now if I hear it I want to rip my eyeballs out and my ear off my head!!

Brian | 5/27/2008, 2:30 am EST

What about “Butterfly” by Crazy Town? That’s gotta be one of the worst and most annoying songs ever written.

Kelly C | 5/26/2008, 6:27 pm EST

I can’t believe the number one most annoying song on this list was ‘My Humps” by Black-Eyed Peas. It may be annoying, true, with the repetitive lyrics, but that’s not THE most annoying song. I have one that tops even that:
Anyone who is forced to listen to that stupid kid’s show Barney knows that piece of garbage “I love you, you love me” is worse than “My Humps.” Any time I hear that, it makes me want to puke.

lifer | 5/24/2008, 2:46 am EST

westlife doesn’t have a song entitled anything or everything????

I have one..... | 5/20/2008, 1:54 am EST

MICKEY!!! By Toni Basil…..

bane | 5/16/2008, 5:16 pm EST

Tay Zonday’s “Chocolate Rain” is one of the best/worst, for sure.

mike | 5/15/2008, 2:40 pm EST

The most Annoying song of all time is that “Its all in my head” crap by worthless nelly and the redneck dude. It says the same damn thing “OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN” I could literally strangle the closest person to me just from hearing it. Never have a heard a song that can annoy you so much you could throw your sterio out the window. They should be shipped off of the continent, droped off on a deserted island, and forced to listen to their own curse on humanity until they drown themselves out of shame.

hmm | 5/10/2008, 4:00 am EST

I’d avoid these songs in most situations but you can’t seriously tell me these were the most annoying songs of all time???

Where the heck is SClub 7, Pussycat dolls, Backstreet boys etc. All you’ve done here is take a few popular pop songs, a genre I hate but you’ve avoided all the ‘bad’ pop songs, which can be a good deal worse.

Anonymous | 5/8/2008, 10:24 pm EST

:LEvi | 5/6/2008, 10:23 pm EST

:LEvi | 5/6/2008, 10:15 pm EST

Girlfriend by avril lavinge should SO be at the top…. and youre beautiful should be replaced by one love by the prodigy, theyre the best band ever but i HATE that song… and blue is the best song ever it shouldnt be there

BLUR | 4/30/2008, 11:54 pm EST

Every song on the radio sucks because they play that shit 30 times a day all day every day. The one I hate the most now is Natasha Bedingfields stupid song “Pocket Full of Sunshines”… They just loop the chorus 10 times

wesker | 4/23/2008, 11:09 pm EST

we built this city by starship
i listened to it for 5 seconds and i hated it

Darryl | 4/23/2008, 8:31 pm EST

Replace “Closing Time” with that godawful “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” song by Deep Blue Something, and you’d have a list I could get behind.

TheEdge | 4/23/2008, 5:32 pm EST

Panic At The Disco.Period.

Glaring omissions:

“Had a Bad Day” Daniel Powter
“I Will Always Love You” Whitney Houston
EVERYTHING by Hootie & The Blowfish

At least Chumba Wumba rightly made the list.

Viktor | 4/8/2008, 12:38 pm EST

It’s Chico Time arghhh how is it not in the list?!
Shane Ward (cringe) “That’s my Goal”
Soulja Boy
Anything from FOB! so annoying!
Emo songs!
along with all the obvious ones Paris Hilton, Gwen Stefanni, Boy Bands, and that effin song “Don’t Cha” by Pussycat girls etc etc
But seriously No.1 has to go to Crazy Frog!
OMFG! I’m just after listening to Puttin’ on the Ritz(ss…sss) by Taco I felt physically sick! seriously not feeling well! There should be a poll for songs that are bad for people’s health!

anon. | 4/7/2008, 8:04 pm EST

Jay | 4/3/2008, 5:48 pm EST

Why the heck did you put NSYNC on the list with “Bye, Bye, Bye”?! They are NOT annoying! (Justin Timberlake is by himself, though.)

GREGORRRRY | 3/9/2008, 3:49 pm EST

I think you have to admit that the award for the most RIDICULOUSLY annoying song in the world has to go to this bloke:

Verka Serdushka - Dancing Lasha Tumbai (Eurovision 2007 Ukraine)

It’s legendary. TANZEN!!

Also “Nicolas” is right, “we don’t play guitars” by Chicks on Speed is a well rubbish song. I saw them supportin the Chillies on their UK tour in manchester back in 2003ish, with the one and only James Brown right after. Yeah, there’s a reason you don’t play guitars girls - it’s because you’re S***.

Jack! | 3/7/2008, 5:32 pm EST

ok seriously
WHY IS MMM MMM MMM MMM ON THERE?! I love that song to pieces!
ok here are the REALLY ANNOYING songs you forgot
Gimmie More: Britney Spears
Daniel Fuckin’ Powter: Bad Day (one of the worst songs i’ve ever heard)and last but not least

Stairway To Heaven: Led Zeppelin

thousandmiler88 | 3/5/2008, 12:11 am EST

I forgot Girlfriend - Avril Lavigne. And she’s just an annoying c*nt altogether.

thousandmiler88 | 3/5/2008, 12:06 am EST

I know some songs I like are annoying. I can admit it! But others I just hate…
1) Hollaback Girl - Gwen (can deal with it once in a blue moon)
2) My Humps - BEP
3) Low - Flow Rida (it’s no. 1 why???)
4) Hey There Delilah - Plain White T’s (horrid, one-hitters)
5) 500 Miles - Proclaimers (how was this ever big? Musta been the 80’s)
6) Lady Hear Me Tonight - Modjo
7) James Brown is Dead - LA Style (but I still like it)
8) Anything by All-Time Low (my sister saw them in concert, and they are the most annoying band ever, and so whiny)
9) All whiny poprock aside from ATL (Fall Out Boy is sometimes okay to me and I’m not including them, so 14 year-olds, rejoice)
10) Wait (The Whisper Song) - yaknow the “Wait till you see my…I’m gonna beat that…”
11) Stars Are Blind - Paris
12) Higher - Heidi Montag (this is a given, and the video is also atrocious)
13) Party All the Time - Eddie Murphy
14) I’ll Be There for You - Rembrandts (and guess what folks — I like iiiit!!!)
15) Wherever You Will Go - The Calling (have they any fans left???)
16) Figured You Out - Nickelback (I think it’s a joke which makes it a little more listenable…but then Nickelback itself is a joke, right?)

The Railrider | 2/9/2008, 5:13 pm EST

first of all i dont believe in bad music. some music appeals more to some than to others. people have the right to express their opinions but not so rudely as some of you here. its also a bit biased i myself cannot think of any songs that i believe should go on the list (I’m just to tired to think right now)

Senji | 2/2/2008, 11:10 pm EST

I find these types of polls like “greatest songs of all time” or “worst songs ever” to be idiotic, foolish and driven by personal opinion. How the hell can you make a list rating music, when musical tastes differ for everyone.

Furthermore, this list can not be taken seriously as Creed are not present. ;-)

Steve | 1/28/2008, 7:53 pm EST

Okay, some of you people need to get a life. I’m 15 so it’s a little different but Barbie Girl is one of the best teen songs and Cotten Eyed Joe is a great song. There’s a specific dance for that song, so some of you have problems.

Leo | 1/28/2008, 1:52 pm EST

“My Heart Will Go On” is beautiful, not annoying. Why did the magazine posted that song on the list?

Mr Positive | 1/26/2008, 11:22 pm EST

ive come to loathe what the american population calls music. nicklesh*t and puddle of f**k need to find A) lead singers capable of SINGING, and B) songwriters that dont just want to sell cds. but so goes the way of the buffalo. “oh this will make us money, and the radio stations will bury it for us so we wont have to listen to it any more in 7 months!”

spew.

Erin P | 1/23/2008, 5:23 pm EST

Some of these shouldn’t be on this list. What about “I belive I can Fly”?

keyko101 | 1/22/2008, 9:22 pm EST

Oh, and “It’s a Small World”

Anybody who listens to that song is committing suicide right there.

keyko101 | 1/22/2008, 9:19 pm EST

I’d say Suzan Vega’s “Tom’s Diner” is honestly annoying. It was good in the beginning but now it’s just flat out stupid.

“Ironic” by Alanis Morrisette (sp?) and “Souja Boy” by what’s his name should be on that list.

But I’m surprised that “Domo Arigato, Mr. Robot” wasn’t on the list or that any tv tunes are on the list (come on, listen at that damn Barney song and tell me it’s not annoying!)

jabroni | 1/22/2008, 5:04 am EST

Me | 1/21/2008, 10:22 pm EST

Offspring’s Pretty Fly (For a White Guy) should be the No.1 in this list.

john | 1/21/2008, 2:40 am EST

anything by gwen stefani is the worst song ever created…lots of songs on here are pretty bad but anything by gwen stefani just pisses me off, i honestly want to jump off a building any time i hear one of her songs. hollaback girl is definitely the worst btw

Kristina | 1/20/2008, 7:20 pm EST

No the most annoying song’s are any by Hannah Montana

Fantastic Sanchez | 1/20/2008, 1:10 am EST

I can’t help but think this list is a bit biased

*15 of the songs were released between 1996 and 2005
*3 of the songs are europop
*10 of the songs are by 1 hit wonders
*11 of the songs could be considered dance music

Additions I would make are:
I wanna sex you up - Color me badd
Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
Do Me! - Bel Biv Devoe
Reach Out of the Darkness - Friend & Lover
The Freshmen - Verve Pipe
Vertigo - U2

Eiffel 65, “Blue” –> The Best Title Found On This Site…

f u | 1/15/2008, 10:04 pm EST

if the writers of this list got up and wrote a song it would be on this list

rolling stones was a good band until this list was written

this is a terrible list | 1/15/2008, 9:58 pm EST

prince & queen are the worst artists ever to live

these are all very good songs on the list

some people just got jealous of these songs and had to make fun of them

if you dont like these songs then you should write a better one

any idiot can say that other songs are bad . it takes a genios to write a good song .

Arthur | 1/12/2008, 3:32 pm EST

listen to brazilian funk
this is REALLY annoying

DJ V | 1/11/2008, 10:10 pm EST

THE MOST ANNOYING?!?

OBVIOUSLY No One ~ Alicia Keys IS ANNOYING!!!!!!

charizardpal08 | 1/11/2008, 5:53 pm EST

Some of those songs you posted get stuck in my head. (Like Believe by Cher.) But even so, all of them are overplayed, have simple lyrics, and tend to get on your nerves after a while. Even the songs on that list that I like.

MR.wonderful | 1/9/2008, 9:57 pm EST

barbie girl -aqua bad

MR.wonderful | 1/9/2008, 9:56 pm EST

Barbie girl is so annoying

Spare Me | 1/3/2008, 10:38 am EST

Im not sure i agree with all names listed but some I can agree with:

Rihanna Rihanna Rihanna - Most Overrated Artist in the history of music…and winning awards for wat? Singing? they don’t go together i think.

What about singers like Lemar who is so underrated? Ur saying “who”? Look him up Lemar from the UK: Time 2 Grow, Feels Right, Any Justice, Someone Should Tell U…

Back to the Glorified singin Goat.. LOL sorry im being mean…It just frustrates me when people who can’t sing are promoted because of looks and stripping for the camera selling sex.. Uuuggghhh

Anyway She wines in her songs ” I dont wanna do this anymore” and then that Awful song that will probably win the Grammy because 2007 was a Tone Deaf Year if “Under my umbrella ella eh eh” which sounds like a person mocking someone who has a stuttering challenge is considered a song to be nominated for a musical award… Im tired of crap!!!

Kanye West - Oh he crawls my skin with his arrogance, also overrated.

Jay-Z - anything by him is overrated…

Hmmm a trend of talentless Def Jam people…

James Blunt - Beautiful is ok but i don’t think it is super fantastic as people made it out to be…

I disagree with people on:
Amy Winehouse - Rehab
Sean Kingston’s - Beautiful
Hinder - Lips of an Angel

Good thing u didn’t diss Pink’s WHO KNEW… I wud get upset…

Have a Great New Yr everyone…

Anonymous | 12/31/2007, 4:29 pm EST

I’m Too Sexy For My Shirt
Hollaback Girl - Gwen Stafani
Beautiful Girls - Sean Kingston
Sexual Eruption - Snoop Dogg

Eric | 12/28/2007, 2:28 pm EST

This was made before Sean Kingston’s “Beautiful Girl” but I believe that would take over the number one spot!

pete wentz must die slowley | 12/27/2007, 10:58 pm EST

who ever said hard fi where annoying can suck my cock

for me the most annoying songs ever are

1:samanda-barbie girl
2:anything by kt tunstull
3:crazy frog
4:wolfmother:woman

Andrea | 12/21/2007, 10:50 am EST

Other annoying songs that aren’t included:

1) Cheeky Girls - The Cheeky Song (Touch my Bum)

The chorus for this song goes something like this:
“We are the cheeky girls, you are the cheeky boys.” Most people in their right minds will find this song downright hilarious.

2) Shake Ya Bon Bon & She Bangs - Ricky Martin
3) Wind it up - Gwen Stefani
4) Crank That - Soulja Boy
5) Almost all songs from the Black Eyed Peas
6) Don’t Cha - Pussycat Dolls
7) Rollin’ - Limp Bizkit
8) In Da Club - 50 Cent
9) The Real Slim Shady - Eminem
10) Lonely - Akon

Anonymous | 12/17/2007, 9:19 am EST

Nickelback really freaking sucks…

And that cotton-eye joe song should be number one. Gives me seizures.

anon | 12/14/2007, 7:05 pm EST

Some of those songs are all right…

Sholva! | 12/11/2007, 3:35 am EST

Undoubtedly the most annoying song of all time:

“Axel F” by Crazy Frog

What in the **** were people in the UK thinking when they made it number one?!

“I think you guys should add every song by Rush to the list. Geddy Lee has the most annoying voice ever, and their music is a cross between techno and The Cure-esque crap-punk.”

you serious? idiot. in no way shape or form in rush anything like the cure and or “pop punk”. you definitely need to set the hash pipe down and take a crash course on music.

Luka | 11/28/2007, 12:43 pm EST

Believe by Cher is the most annoying song ever!!! Why James Blunt & Nickelback?

Tony | 11/27/2007, 10:42 pm EST

None of these songs are annoying. And 1st place is one of my favorite songs ever, very bad list.

Jenny | 11/23/2007, 2:17 am EST

Annoying songs:

All Ricky Martin songs.
Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend (unbelievably annoying)
Crank that - Soulja Boy
Britney Spears - Oops! I did it again.
50 cent - Candy shop

Roling Stones Publisher | 11/12/2007, 7:55 pm EST

We forgot to add:

Proclaimers - 500 Miles
Chesney Hawkes - The One & Only
Annie - Chewing Gum
Oasis - Wonderwall
McFly - 5 Colours In Her Hair
Gerry & The Pacemakers - You’ll Never Walk Alone
Anything or EVERYTHING by Westlife

So many more, so little time

andrew colomy | 11/11/2007, 10:31 pm EST

“it’s peanut butter jelly time” definitely, if i have to hear that song again ill blow my brains out

carlos | 10/30/2007, 10:39 pm EST

Chumbawumba, “Tub Thumper” shouldn’t be there.

Mary | 10/28/2007, 2:59 pm EST

I agree, except with “Photograph”. I LOVE that song! I would replace Avril Lagvine’s “Girlfriend” with that.

Rockin' Roel | 10/28/2007, 4:24 am EST

So, basically, the top 20 most annoying songs are just very popular songs you’re sick of hearing all the time? I would say that that’s pretty lame. Songs I think should NOT be on this list:
- Tubthumping by Chumbawumba
- Mambo No.5 by Lou Bega
- Closing Time by Semisonic (what?), okay it may be repetitive, maybe I just like it because I discovered it, not because it was on the charts. I’ve only heard it on my computer as of yet.

Songs are basically just too hyped to that’s why they’re on this list:
- Macarena by Los Del Rio
- Wannabe by Spice Girls

Song that would have been so much better if it wasn’t Celine Dion:
My Heart Will Go On, they should’ve just kept the flute and thrown the rest away

Blue and Barbie Girl may be annoying, but it’s fun from time to time.

Tashika | 10/26/2007, 2:56 pm EST

I also think these songs are annoying:
-Fergie, “My Humps”, “Fergalicious”
-Baha Men, “Who Let The Dogs Out”
-Nickelback, “Photograph”
-James Blunt, “You’re Beautiful”
-Cher, “Believe”
But I also think these are too: Rihanna, “SOS” “Umbrella”
Avril Lavigne, “Girlfriend”
J.LO, “Jenny from the Block”
Pink, “Stupid Girl”
Hate anything from Akon or John Legend.

recyclera | 10/24/2007, 6:04 pm EST

Crank that - Soulja boy

so annoying.

S | 10/24/2007, 1:27 pm EST

The macarena song is proof that there is no god

Jah_Rastafaarian_Ghettochild | 10/21/2007, 6:04 pm EST

I think you guys should add every song by Rush to the list. Geddy Lee has the most annoying voice ever, and their music is a cross between techno and The Cure-esque crap-punk.

I suggest you add “destenation unknown” to the list.. i mus agree that these songs are annoying worms but they are mostly nice.. destenation unknown is not one of the best but it is sure annoying..

Paige | 10/11/2007, 1:50 pm EST

I’d like to see all your attempts of songs, I’m sure they’d be even worse then this.

What the hell? Closing Time by Supersonic? What’s so wrong with that song?

Em | 9/30/2007, 7:45 pm EST

Amara, your list is SPOT ON. :) Although I think ‘Hollaback Girl’ should be number one. That MUST be THE most annoying song in the universe.

no one important | 9/30/2007, 1:31 pm EST

OMG! Barbie Girl is so annoying! I have one thing to say, If Mambo #5 is the Disney one, it is SO NOT ANNOYING! But, “I’m a Barbie Girl In the Barbie World” is really annoying for the first line in a song. If you watch the music video on YouTube, I can see why Mattel sued Aqua, and why you guys made it 11 on the charts.
P.S. What the HECK is “AquaScope”?

Most of Gwen Stefani’s solo career, esp. “Sweet Escape” ahhhhh shoot me. Natasha Bedingfield’s “Unwritten”, I hate that song with a passion!

Fizzle! | 8/23/2007, 4:12 am EST

I hate these songs with a passion:
“London Bridge” Fergie
“Nookie” Limp Bizkit
“Haaaate Meeee”(arrgghh!) Blue October
“Sugar We’re Going Down” Fall Out Boy-

The most annoying song of all time has got to be “Relax” by Frankie Goes to Hollywood. It is so obnoxious that I want to grab pencils and shove them in my ears. Punctured eardrums would be pleasant compared to that piece of crap “song”.

Sam | 7/30/2007, 6:43 am EST

‘Destination Calabria’ by Alex Gaudino should be up there

feh. | 7/29/2007, 1:32 pm EST

A couple corrections ‘cos the mistakes are annoying me:

‘Rikki Don’t Lose That Number’ is by Steely Dan, not Phil Collins (er, Donald Fagen doesn’t even SOUND like Collins).

‘Calling Occupants (of Interplanetary Craft)’ is by Klaatu, not the Carpenters.

And a hearty laugh at all of you for taking this list so incredibly personally.

optimus | 7/29/2007, 8:31 am EST

its funny how almost every song on that list hit #1 in either the European or American charts, it just goes to show that everyone has their own opinion, i mean i really like ‘Blue’, but hate ‘My Humps’

i agree with calls to include crazy frog on the list. i like that “blue” got on, that was so bad. “mmm bop”, “the logical song” and that ketchup song are contenders.

tothkinson helpful review | 7/19/2007, 8:37 pm EST

Phil Collins song is Rickie don’t lose my number,
*B-52’s…..rock lobster is by far a great song.
*mc hammer….2 legit 2 quit and can’t touch this your dissing the hammer
*vanilla ice……ice ice baby guaranteed that 1 out of 3 people can rap a verse
It’s dexy and the midnight riders
*falco….rock me amedeous (sp?)
*devo…..whip it
The list could go on and on!
And your right, you should send in a list of 100 annoying songs, that was VH1 can do a Top 100 of how many mistakes you will be implementing in how you are misrepresenting the artists/songs

Bdubbs | 7/19/2007, 8:26 pm EST

Actually Tarzan and Jane was from the spinoff group Toy Box, not Aqua, so “Confused” is confused…so he really should not be making a point…the Proclamiers is by far a great song 500 miles…Unfortunately I would have to save Start me Up….it once was a great song, but sadly from the overplayed major league sporting events has now made it an annoying song….

Bobo25 | 7/16/2007, 6:38 pm EST

Leah Andreone - “It’s Alright, It’s Okay”

Moby/Gwen Stefani - “Southside”

Sheryl Crow - “If it makes you happy”

Anything by Evanescence, Creed, Train, Alanis Morissette…

~Confused~ | 7/16/2007, 5:22 pm EST

Truthfully I think the most annoying song is “Tarzan and Jane” by Aqua. I think the best song is “Lips of an Angel” by Hinder. Cuz they rock

Alex C | 7/16/2007, 5:42 am EST

Happily you are very unlikely to ever hear it, but there’s a Dinosaur Jr song, the last track on the album “Bug” called Don’t. And it just has J Mascis screaming “WHYYYYYY DON’T YOU LIIIIIIIIIIKE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?????!!!” in a voice that sounds like he’s being stabbed, over and over again. It’s absolutely unlistenable.

berganzamad | 7/15/2007, 5:24 pm EST

Have you ever heard Anne Murray???? It’s the most annoying music you could ever imagine, I just can’t bear it but my dad loves it. Also I would nominate all of John Denver!!!! God, I hate it so much

tothkinson | 7/12/2007, 4:17 am EST

Here are a couple more….
*phil collins….billy don’t loose my number
*thomas dolby…..blinded me with science (??????)
*B-52’s…..rock lobster
*mc hammer….2 legit 2 quit and can’t touch this (pleeeease!!)
*vanilla ice……ice ice baby
*dixie & the midnight riders (something like that)….come on eileen
*falco….rock me amedeous (sp?)
*devo…..whip it
The list could go on and on! There should be a VH1 top 100 list done on this. Between them and the E station, they have lists for everything! Then there is all the country songs…..aren’t most of them annoying? How about the new song about “ticks” by brad paisley? How stupid and annoying is that?

Nostromo | 7/9/2007, 9:31 pm EST

I can’t believe you try-hards are still arguing/listing songs - clearly & irrefutably I won with “achy-breaky heart” :)

Monsieur | 7/9/2007, 7:45 pm EST

MMM MMM MMM MMM is indeed the worst song ever. I feel like puking when i hear it. Its just like drinkin a glass of animal fat.

GOSH !!!!!!!! Avril Laviene | 7/9/2007, 6:36 pm EST

Avril Laviene-Girlfriend
Should be on there for sure

ChP | 7/9/2007, 1:48 pm EST

MAry | 7/9/2007, 9:00 am EST

haha rhianna!! not forget about “hotel california” and every single song of britney spears, spice girls, bsb, five, maroon 5…

Jack | 7/8/2007, 8:29 pm EST

I quote Lester Bangs via Cameron Crowe: “99% of what passes for Rock and Roll; silence is more compelling.”

But I’ll say “I’m Too Sexy” by Right Said Fred, or “Hangin’ Tough” by New Kids on the Block

Fran | 7/8/2007, 7:30 pm EST

Good list, but still there are so many annoying songs that they didn’t mentioned; they should have made a list of 100 songs instead of only 20.

Stevie Wonder- I just call to say I love you
Anything by REM, that voice can drive anyone to madness
Anything by Fergie
Wind it up-Gwen Stefani
Winds of change- Scorpions, just awful
Anyrhing by James Blunt
I will always love you-Whitney Hudson
All confessions on a dance floor album
How do you talk to an angel?-Jamie Walters
Many of The Beatkes songs are quite annoying
Anything Abba had sang
Another will bite the dust- Queen
Anything by Phil Collins, Boston, Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, Spandau Ballet, Michael Bolton and Pussycat Dolls
Sexyback- Justin Timberlake
Any reggueaton or vallenato song

The list just goes on and on…

zane | 7/8/2007, 3:38 pm EST

Gwen Stefani - Hollaback Girl
Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend
Black Eyed Peas - My Humps
Fergie - Fergalicious
Eminem - FACK

And pretty much most songs that have loud chanting to them and you can’t pretty much escape from them, besides FACK, which wasn’t a single. Loud chanting songs that are constantly on the radio.

Brad | 7/8/2007, 2:59 pm EST

Temporary Secretary, one of my least favorite Paul Mccartney songs. He’s still the best ever though… No really. And for all you bashers, Macca is cool again.

Jesus Bush | 7/8/2007, 2:48 pm EST

“Stairway to Heaven”- Led Zeppelin
should replace “My Humps”………and anything on the beatle’s white album could make this list………horrid wankers, those beatles………

Fretts | 7/8/2007, 2:11 pm EST

Nothing is worse than Dan Hill’s SOMETIMES WHEN WE TOUCH.
I gag even typing it. Now I have to go wash my hands.

scott storch | 7/8/2007, 7:22 am EST

anything from Scott Storch rap crap tis white dude called da piano man is one dumb mother!

Farfonugen | 7/8/2007, 12:56 am EST

HAHA! I agree that “Kokomo” should have made the cut!

whitby | 7/8/2007, 12:53 am EST

anything by those annoying pulmonary endowed dames Celine Whitney etc.Eric Clapton and lastly the Grateful Dead

jaymcminn | 7/8/2007, 12:01 am EST

Paul McCartney- “Temporary Secretary” is right up at the top of my list. As is White Stripes’ “Aluminum” from White Blood Cells- makes me hit the skip button whenever I hear it. That “Barbie Girl” song- I had that stuck in my head for two days once. None of these is as annoying as Enrique Iglesias’”Hero”- I think most of my post 9-11 depression came from the endless repetition of that whiny piece of crap.

Candace | 7/7/2007, 10:18 pm EST

I really don’t understand how you could create this list without including anything by the insufferable Britney Spears, Creed, and Akon…Seroiously people WTF?

Ron | 7/7/2007, 2:53 pm EST

Surely ‘Seasons in the Sun’ should have been on here. And how about Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road.

gobbledegook | 7/7/2007, 5:30 am EST

can’t believe everyone’s forgotten about “I swear”…who’s gonna beat that?

Dalton | 7/7/2007, 2:56 am EST

That list could have been comprised solely of nickelback songs. Man, do they ever suck!

T-Nasty | 7/7/2007, 12:23 am EST

============================== ===
HAHAHAH!!!!

I would like to thank everyone for their suggestions of awful songs! I’m amazed “Closing Time” is getting so much defense.

David | 7/7/2007, 12:15 am EST

It’s safe to say that most of today’s music is very annoying.

Old Farts | 7/7/2007, 12:09 am EST

Ok we need to add an addendum:

Kung-Fu Fighting - Karl Douglas

Old Farts | 7/7/2007, 12:03 am EST

Ok People, you have no idea what is truly bad and annoying:

Having My Baby-Paul Anka (WORST SONG EVER!)
Girlfriend-Avril Lavigne ( we are not that old)
Seasons in the Sun-Terry Jacks
Paper Roses-marie osmond ( can’t capitalize that one)
Teen Angel-Ray Peters
Tell Laura I Love Her-Ray Peterson
WildFire-America
Feelings-Mor ris Albert
You Light Up My Life-Debbie Boone
You and Me Against the World-Paul Williams
Knock Three Times on the Ceiling if You Want Me - Tony Orlando and Dawn
Teen Angel-Mark Dinning ( worth Repeating)
Space Oddity Ground Control to Major Tom - David Bowie
Muscrat Love - Captain and Tenille
Surfing Bird - The Trash Men

need we go on?

johnsy | 7/6/2007, 10:34 pm EST

Gaz | 7/6/2007, 8:39 pm EST

jason c | 7/6/2007, 4:45 pm EST

Lee | 7/6/2007, 4:23 pm EST

Kokomo-Beach Boys
My God is that a bad and annoying song….

Dino | 7/6/2007, 3:22 pm EST

Radio Ga Ga - Queen

Puttin’ on the Ritz

Rico Suave - Riiiiicoooooo Suaaaave

droe | 7/6/2007, 3:03 pm EST

This list is pretty close to perfect, but did someone really post “Hey I like . . . Rednex, “Cotton-Eyed Joe” . . . those^ are all great! “?

Pete | 7/6/2007, 2:58 pm EST

Lay off the Spice Girls! They’re good.

Anything by Oasis.

mdw225 | 7/6/2007, 1:57 pm EST

I can’t believe “Are you Jimmy Ray” did not make the list!

danny | 7/6/2007, 1:33 pm EST

umbrella by Rhianna can be added to the list though
