I often hear people give this noble title to Crazy Frog, The Ketchup Song or Baby Shark...

But for me the answer has to be Dance Monkey. It was surely created by scientists on a mission to create the most annoying song possible. It actually causes me physical pain the same way loud chewing hurt people with misophonia. If you actually like this song then I question your sanity.

Every damn gym in my city had the song in their way too short playlist for years too. I used to tolerate the gym playlists even though I didn't like most of the songs, but Dance Monkey was the straw that broke the camel's back. I had to purchase air buds to block out the sound.

When I saw the title I also thought this song. I despise it with every fiber of my being.
 
So they say, "Wayne Rooney, Wayne Rooney, Wayne Rooney oh"
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before"
They say, "score for me, score for me, score for me, ay
And when you're done, I'll make you do it all again"

Let's get it sung in the Stretford End
 
While I do like the song, I find Bohemian Rhapsoy incredibly annoying by now. This weird online hype has completely ruined it for me.
 
That one out currently

"Ah pe ter pe teh, ah pe ter pe teh, ah pe ter pe teh, uhuh uhuh"

Or whatever she's actually saying. Both annoying and also makes me low key rage inside that people have made money out of it
 
Maybe We Are the Champions for me. Omnipresent and hard to avoid at times while totally butchered by thousands of (mostly) drunk bellends who feel encouraged to be even more annoying by it.

Edels catalogue.

And Katy Perrys song with the timeless lyric - - Do you ever feel like a plastic bag?
 
none actually. I don't listen to the radio or mainstream music, I don't watch TV and that's been the case for about 20 years. I'm not exposed to bad or boring songs long enough for them to become annoying.

but ACDC I think is overused in movies.
 
When I was 16, I did my 4th year work experience placement just as Enrique Iglesias released “Hero”.

2 weeks in an architects office, sat beside a small radio, drawing boundary lines and listening to them repeat it 3 times every hour.

I still have PTSD flashbacks when I hear it.

That song is about as middle of the road as it gets for sappy pop songs. What pulls it into the excruciating/annoying territory is Enrique's pronunciation of every word. Not because of his accent, but because it sounds like he's trying to serenade every syllable. If I hadn't heard the song before then I'd think it was a parody. Or perhaps from a 2000's Will Ferrell comedy meant to establish the singer as an over-the-top douchebag.
 
Pharell Williams - Happy

Found it boring/sleep inducing which is the opposite of the message it's trying to convey. Does weird things to my head and makes me feel tired rather than uplifted.

That's not a bad shout. On its own it is fine, but when the drunk crowd joins, it is hard to listen... We built this city goes on my nerve. Not sure what to say about Macarena, perfect for some shit 80's and never renovated resort in Tenerife with you surrounded by bunch of strangers at 5AM. It could go either way, you having a night of your life or wanting to smash your head in the wall.

Thrift Shop by Macklemore has to be up there as one of the most annoying songs ever if only because of how you just couldn't avoid hearing it for what seemed like eons.
 
Hey Ya - OutKast

What a piss poor piece of shit that song is

Thought that, but after watching The Interview when I hear Fireworks I think of Kim Jong Un crying along to it. I'm okay with it now.
 
There's quite a few 90s pop hits that really grate, either because they were never that good to begin with and still got overplayed, or they have aged so terribly they should never be heard again.

Rock DJ, Wannabe, Return of the Mack and Baby One More Time to name a few. Agree with whoever said Hey Ya, that falls in the same category but obviously from the noughties.

but no, music is actually always on in my apartment, just not the popular one. it's pretty much always space ambient, nature sounds or something similar.

obviously, I'm not counting personal playlists as they don't contain songs I hate for obvious reasons.

Dave Gorman does a brilliant bit about how that's just an updated version of 'if you're happy and you know it clap your hands'
 
Mariah Carey - All I want for Christmas.

I fear the calender approving November because this shite is on everywhere.

Hate it.
 
To add to the Queens song, Don’t Stop me Now. For largely the same reasons as the others.
