    Tie between that Uncle Kracker song and this one country rock song that I dont know the name or artist of. Starts off with a gut saying “jingle jingaling” or something.

    I don’t just change the station if these come on. Radio just goes off, no more music that day.

    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?”

    I was gonna say Happy by Pharrel Williams but someone else said Sweet Caroline and I might have to change my vote. Actually it’s not that terrible of a song (Sweet Caroline I mean), but hearing it played at weddings and sporting events and then they pause it so everyone can scream BUM BUM BUMMM does get to me after the 5 millionth time.

    Disappointed that I have not seen every song Dave Matthews has ever sung listed in here.

    Happy birthday, there’s a bunch of other traditional birthday songs passed down in other languages and cultures that are so much better than happy birthday <insert name>

      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

    Sweet Caroline - Neil Diamond. I’m from New England so I hear it often and the back story makes me cringe every time and I haaate it

      Yeah as someone who has spent almost their whole life in the Carolinas I am sick to death of that song, especially when people do the little singalong bits.
