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

    • Have you thought about applying for a Taxicard for her? They have black cabs,although also Addison Lee so you'd have to request a black cab.

    • So important to give them the best chance. You can buy bells on Amazon I’ve bought the cheap collars on amazon and find they fray quickly and aren’t great quality. The bells don’t really make a noise either. I’ve also bought a posh one from Pets Couture and it’s absolutely beautiful, got a proper bell and still looks like new after nearly a whole year! Definitely worth the money  
    • I completely agree. A cat with a bell comes into my garden and sits patiently beneath the bird feeders. Sometimes I hear the bell first and can chase him out before he gets there, and hopefully birds can also hear the bell (but only when he's actually moving). This has got worse since prickly rambling rose stems were removed from fences at the back of the garden. I'm looking at what cat deterrents I can put there. You have probably done this already, but if not you might want to look at ways you can try to stop the cats getting into your garden  in the first place? It's very difficult. I love both cats and birds, but  as you say, cats will be cats.
