The One Popular Song You Can't Stand

I'd vote for a lot of the ones mentioned.
I despise Happy.
Probably an unpopular notion, but I loathe anything Christy Moore.
And the worst of the worst, ever, and probably never to be out-worsted, Des'ree's Life.

Great song when actually lifted by the RUC.

I fucked hated that song around the 2012 Olympics. Can't remember the name but it was popular at the time.

The REM thread just reminded me how much I hate Shiny Happy People.

I'd never heard "Happy" until I saw the minions/Gru movie that it features in. Works really well there, and I actually thought it was just a song for the movie (and not a "real" song).

Green green grass and especially shotgun by George Ezra. The wanes love it, but the lyrics are shite. Just a good singer rhyming nonsense to a catchy tune

Most Ed Sheeran stuff.
