Heyyyyy brotherrrrrr.....
I think I actually like it more for the memes than as a song at this point
Oooh, THAT one. I knew I recognized the name but had no idea what it was.

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.
Never be the same by Camila Cabello. Fucking annoying overplayed ass music.
"Last Christmas", any version
Toss up between Jenny (867-5309) for being absolutely disgusting on a conceptual level for glorifying stalker behavior or Owner of a Lonely Heart for going fucking nowhere and then having the audacity to drop a blaring synth note like it's a crescendo before going back to nothing.
That's not what Jenny is about. Jenny was a friend of the band that Jim Keller (song's author) was dating. There's lots of songs from back then that actually are creepy but I don't think that's one of them.
Also, a song about something bad is not an endorsment. For example Angel of Death by Slayer. Nirvana covered a Leadbelly song called Ain't It a Shame which is about the narrator beating his wife. Not an endorsment of spousal abuse from one of music's most famous feminists.
Sometimes s song is just telling a story, be it positive or negative.
As for Owner of a Lonely Heart, agreed. Annoying and over-played.
Zombie by The Cranberries. I just can't stand it.
Sweater weather. I already didn't like the downtempo vibe, but it got painfully overplayed back in the day. Unfortunately, I still hear it occasionally. Anything but that, please.
Anything by Drake.
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
Watermelon sugar

Newer: Sabrina Carpenter - Espresso

Pour Some Sugar On Me. It's so terrible.
"home" by Edward Sharpe and the magnetic zeroes
it's gotta be just about the most banal, saccharine, faux-folksy bullshit I've ever heard.
And it certainly doesn't help that when it came out I was living at home still and my sister played it to death.

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.
Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars.
I'll even concede that's it's not the worst song I've heard, but I just hate it.
Wagon Wheel
That girl is on fiiirraaaaafrrrrhhaaarraaa
