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

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
