Hmmm, I like Rio, that song by Alanis, Joe's "IGBWALHFMF" and Light my Fire!


I normally hate all songs by U2 but once found myself driving from LA to San Francisco on Highway 1 - somewhere by Santa Barbara I think - as the sun was going down over the Pacific and New Years Day by U2 came on the radio and it was sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

Of course, The Dame is quite simply inviolate.

exactly... novelty records in general... Mr Blobby, The Chicken Song, Grandma we love you, Barbie Girl, anything by the Cheeky Girls... you know the kind of thing.


Lots of the songs people have listed it's more about a matter of personal taste than total lack of talent. Which is not to say you can't detest things because it's not your taste, but there are some much much worse things out there that I could list than most of the things people have named.


My pet hate would be bad covers... if the original is good, leave it alone unless you really have something to add (and most people don't). (Come to that if it is bad, why cover it?) Covering Beatles songs is generally a bad plan - I can remember my sister liking a particularly dire cover of Strawberry Fields by Candy Flip, who I've (thankfully) never heard of again.


Oh, and Madonna's version of American Pie was indigestible rubbish too.

that was quite posibly the worst cover version in history.


Although All Saints ( It think it was them) did a cover of Under the Bridge which makes me want to slam my toe in a door.

Yes, it was them. Personally I'd slam their toes in a door rather than my own, but I know what you mean :-)

"yabadee, yabba da, yabbadee yabbada,,,but she's homeless, she's homeless" and other sentimental awful melody shite.....thanks a bundle for reminding me

Man, she was HOMELESS quids, bloody homeless, and yet she stands there, singing for money. How can the pathos not touch you deep inside..?


Afternoon Delight I actually have a heartfelt soft spot for. As for not liking any song with hero in the title, don't come down to Lucky 7s when i'm on, or I'll have a rare treat for you, sure I will. And it won't be one of my cheesy wotsits

    • There will always be kids pushing the envelope as the saying goes, but having some boundaries should help most understand what they can and cannot do. I think dedicated, daily park wardens is exactly what is required...with a hotline to SNT teams on the beat. Is there no way money made from Gala or from Park parking fees can be diverted to provide that funding? I feel it would be a really good use of money. The principle aim being to maintain the park as a safe and relaxing environment for all. If funding really cannot be found I wonder if there might be funding to at least train volunteer park wardens?
    • Its almost the same as Grove Vale School , now Goose Green School.
    • They used to have dedicated park wardens, who I'm sure used to look after the parks and locked and opened the gates. Years ago I knew someone who was one. I thought they were based in that hut by the toilets. Are they not there any more? The community wardens are attached to the police rather than a specific park, aren't they?
    • Yes, sad how Rye Lane has taken a dive, interesting to see those pics CPR Dave. It's shocking how the section between Choumert Road and the Nag's Head in particular has lost its vibrancy, meanwhile the next section to the top of Peckham Rye Common has gentrified. Wonder why such a distinction in fortunes? Anyway the station square plans have fallen behind yet again, demolition won't now start this summer. The only "work" that will now take place this summer is surveying of the arcade, which they've had 10 years since planning permission to do. At least the replacement TSB branch has progressed but the Blenheim Grove corner building still looks unfinished, despite claims it "is now complete". https://www.southwark.gov.uk/planning-environment-and-building-control/current-and-future-development/peckham-and-nunhead-2
