Oh dear, you've started me off...........
I have loads of nominations for the most annoying pop song ever.
In fact I can divide them into three or more categories:
1. Firstly, I cannot stand it when new records sample the most distinctive part of a classic. For example “Ice Ice Baby” by Ice T sampled the distinctive riff from Queen and David Bowie’s Under Pressure. If I want to hear the riff I would rather see or hear the original, not witness some numpty prancing around to it and passing it off as his own invention.
2. Secondly I can’t stand anything syrupy or smulchy (Example: Gee Baby by Peter Shelley)
3. My third category covers anything too repetitive or inane – I want to listen to a work of art, something clever, not something a monkey could write.
4. Finally, the thing that most offends the tommo lugholes is gangsta Rap which bears no resemblance to music whatsoever: it’s just verses delivered for effect, usually with aggressive undertones. It’s a fad that should have died a death ten or more years ago. Who buys such crap ? >:(
So I’ll list my un-favourites in a sort of countdown under the categories “Plagiarism” “Wishy-washy” and “Money For Old Rope”.
Plagiarism:
14. Out of Touch by Uniting Nations: a blatant rip-off of Hall and Oates’ classic which adds nothing to it.
13.Cupid’s Chokehold (Take A Look At My Girlfriend) by Gym Class Heroes: a complete abortion of Supertramp’s Breakfast In America.
12. Don’t Worry Be Happy by Bobby McFaddon (?) Excuse me, but isn’t that the same melody to begin with as What’s Up by Four Non-Blondes ?
11. St Elmo’s Fire by John Parr. Listen to the introduction and the melody, it’s Tonight I Dedicate My Love To You by Peabo Bryson. What’s the point ?
10. Father And Son by Boyzone. A totally inferior version of a great song by Cat Stevens. No passion, no atmosphere, one verse repeated twice and it shuts off when you’re expecting one last verse to resolve things. Hideous.
9. Everlasting Love by Jamie Cullum. The original by Love Affair had a certain charm but this version is totally devoid of any sort of charisma. He sounds like a cow with a bellyache.
Wishy-washy:
There are two lots of sentimental rubbish mentioning wings:
8. Wind Beneath My Wings by Bette Midler (this goes on for far too long at the end), and
7. Flying Without Wings (eh ?) by Westlife. Lead singer has a grinning face that you want to slap. It’s not a charming Marti Pellow “I’m back from the brink” grin, it’s an “I’ve got so much money I don’t know what to do with it” grin.
6. If You’re Not The One by Daniel Bedingfield – sounds like a strangled cat. His sister Natasha got the lion’s share of the talent when it was dished out.
5. More Than Words by Extreme. This was supposed to be a heavy band, and I find myself listening to a Meatloaf –type introduction and waiting for it to burst into life – but it doesn’t ! The introduction lasts for the entire record.
Money For Old Rope:
4. Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol. An entire song built on three notes with some idiot plucking away repetitively at a guitar in the background.
3. Because I Got High by Afroman. He thinks it’s so clever, but what sort of message does it give out. When he chuckles while singing, I want to put my boot through the radio.
2. I Wish A Was A Punk Rocker With Flowers In My Hair by Sandy Thom. Don’t be silly, Sandy: Rockers and Punks (with Skinheads in between) were the other side of the fence to Mods and Hippies. It’s a horrible repetitive song, anyway. And finally I give you:
1. It’s All About You by McFly. Droning voices, Repetitive song. Horrible and Annoying. And come to think of it, part of it rips off Lately by Stevie Wonder, so doubly so !

Tommo,
I will have to listen to this " Everlasting Love " by Jamie Cullum, as I have never heard a cow with bellyache sing.
