Wild World, by Cat Stevens. Some of the most patronizing lyrics I’ve ever heard. https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/catstevens/wildworld.html
“Last Christmas”, any version
Pour Some Sugar On Me. It’s so terrible.
There are two songs that I will verbally abuse a movie for having on its soundtrack.
“What A Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong, and “Fly Me To The Moon” by Frank Sinatra.
If you put those songs in…anything, you’re a fucking hack.
WAWW has been used both straight and ironically TO DEATH. It has been played over beautiful and horrific scenes. There’s nothing you can use it to say that hasn’t already been said by someone more clever than you.
FMTTM is the song completely uncreative people put in movies that have something to do with the moon. “We have an establishing shot of the moon and we need some licensed music for the soundtrack. Gee, now what’s the hackiest laziest most cliched pissbabyest lack of a brain stemiest thing we could put here?” “You’re not going to believe this, but I found a Sinatra song that might just be a lazy enough choice. It’s already been used in all the other movies, is that lazy enough?”
Might be “Bohemian Rhapsody”, or “We will Rock You”. Which is odd, because Killer Queen is one of my favorite songs. Same artists can make crap or magic.
And “Horse With No Name”, because of the godawful pretentious stupid lyrics.
Of songs that other people like?
I hate Dust in the Wind, and House of the Rising Sun, and I never need to hear Stairway to Heaven again, I have used up my quota.
Any of the 6 million versions of Hallelujah except the original Leonard Cohen and Jeff Buckley.
I swear wannabe pop singers see it as some sort of rite of passage but they universally murder it either by trying to replicate on of those two and coming up painfully short or embellishing it with flourishes and superfluous variations.
It doesn’t make you look deep and thoughtful it just highlights what an average singer you are.
Frankly, even the Buckley version is worse than the original. The song has a bad case of the “Born in the USA” syndrome.
Wagon Wheel
Any modern country song. bonus if they say boots, beer, etc.
“big truck, love christ. Second truck, hate wife”
Trucks!
That Mariah Carey one. You know the one.
She has so many good contenders, but one stands above them all. Good (horrible!) choice.
I was struggling to think of something I truly hate
I was coming up with a lot of bad tracks, sure, but they don’t really inspire hatered
This one however, viscerally upsetting from the first bar
I found this version to be much more tolerable: https://youtube.com/watch?v=oY9O-WbMxO0

That girl is on fiiirraaaaafrrrrhhaaarraaa
(Did someone just shoot a cat?)
Don’t you want me baby. Bananaphone. Feelings. But actually Don’t you want me baby is the only one that doesn’t stick in my head.
Zombie by The Cranberries. I just can’t stand it.
Anything by Drake.
Take me to church by Hozier

Thats such an amazing song!
I think there’s so many Hozier songs that are better, but I agree, I don’t think it’s bad by any stretch. Maybe just a tad overplayed? Can see how people would hate it for that.
