This. Listen to exactly 1 minute of it and you'll know why.
Imagine my delight/horror when South Park decided to feature it in Season 1.

There was a jukebox at the city swimming pool that I managed the summer that song came out. The kids played that song over and over. Almost drove me crazy. Listening to it now, it's really not that bad. I just got so tired of it I started hating it.
The background: An acquaintance posted this query on FB. Several people chimed in with normal fare: annoying jingles and one-hit wonders that everybody agrees are terrible. I added mine ... and immediately got piled on by multiple people including the OP saying it's a great song and an awesome band. Somebody called it, and I quote, "one of the best songs ever." I mean I knew I'd probably get some disagreement, but come on ...
It came out during my formative music years and got constant airplay on the rock/alternative station that was otherwise playing everything I liked. It just always seemed so whiny and her vocal style over-exaggerated. Do ya have to, do ya have to ... just somebody please give me a rusty spike to stab through my ears. Oh god, too late, I think it's stuck in my head again.
Anyway, good contributions so far, keep 'em coming.

As a youngun in the 70's, I couldn't stand this song. And I still hate this steaming pile as much (if not more) today than I did 40 years ago...
However, I do get a kick out of the KVWN news team's cover...

Eternal Flame. No idea who sings it. I think it is the band who sang that 'Walk Like an Egyptian' song but I don't know their name. I'll second 'Linger' as well. I hated that one early as well.
Tie between the NC State and Duke fight songs.
I can't remember the first one. But, I remember one that I hated and still hate:
The irony is staggering

I will die with you on this hill. I didn't like anything they did, but this song was particularly awful.
Pour Some Sugar on Me by one of the hair bands. I can't remember which one and I don't care to look.
Yeah but Susanna Hoffs is pretty darn hot, so I will tolerate the song.
A buddy of mine is friends with the lead singer in a Def Leppard tribute band. We went to see them play one of the last shows in Amos' Southend here in Charlotte before it closed. That's the most fun I've had at a concert in a long while.
Does the tribute bands drummer tie one arm behind his back?
See, posting the video of a song you hate seems wrong so I declined.
Omg its a tie between Turn the page and tied to the whipping post. I will gladly sacrifice rolling my jeep in a ditch if it means getting my hands on the volume knob to spare my ears one nano second of either's never ending crescendo of repeated verses and the suicidal inducing depressive rambling.
Oh lord i feel like i'm dying
Oh lord i feel like i'm dying
Oh Lord I feel like I'm dying
FOR GODS SAKE JUST DIE
Oh lord i feel like i'm dying
Oh lord i feel like i'm dying
Oh Lord I feel like I'm dying
FOR GODS SAKE JUST DIE
I was going to poast this, but I didn't want to be reminded of it every time I visit this thread. Now that you've done it, I will unwatch this thread, and I'm out.
The 45-minute version or the 60-minute version?

I know I'm violating the Op Ed because we're just supposed to poast the first song we remember hating -- get over it.
Here's my second one - the damn Pina Colada song.

I don't know if this was the first song I hated, but it's definitely one of the worst ever.
I'm starting to hate this thread, since all those shitty songs are stuck in my head now.
Thank you. Possibly the stupidest song ever. A couple tries to cheat on each other and they end up laughing about it? No, there has to be a forgotten verse at the end where the police arrive at the bar to break up a chair-throwing, hair-pulling domestic violence case.

Aretha Franklin's "Day Dreaming". The DJ at WCHL played it every weekday morning at 7 a.m. during the fall of my senior year at UNC. Love almost everything else she does.
I dunno how you can dislike Whipping Post. That used to get me into a frenzied lather. Berry's bass kicks-it-off... Boom-a-diddle-diddle, Boom-a-diddle-diddle, boom-a-diddle-diddle, boom-boom... and they all start showing-up! That Hammond... filling it all in. Good stuff!
Plus when it comes on you can go to the bathroom, get yourself a new beer, and slow-cook a rack of ribs, and still get back before they're done jamming on the first chorus.
Actually "i can see clearly now" by graham nash i think would be the first song i hated. My parents alarm clock was set for the radio to come on at 6am and the local radio show the listened to always started with that song. When i heard it i knew i was moments away from getting rousted from my warm bed and sent to the bus stop.
When we were on vacation this summer that song came on. The wife's vehicle has no Siriussowe just landed on a station and listened to whatever came on. So for the first time, for both of us, we listened to the lyrics. Afterwards we both just kind of looked at each other like 'wtf', then discussed how absurd it was.
