[Arnold]

Here's my two hapence worth

Tina Turner - Simply the Best (also include any ad' lame enough to use it)

Whitney - I will always love you.oooooooooo.ooo.oooooo.uuuuu

Scooter - Logical Song

Adrian Gurvitz - Attic (gonna write a classic, gonna write it in an attic, an attic for your love, radio classic me arse)

Frank Sinatra - New York New York (you can only play it so many times and I know we got a break last year (unfortunately) but god I hate this with a vengence)

[clubhappy]

How about these ....

Its raining men ...
500 miles {copper face jacks anthem}..
uptown girl
everything i do i do for you.........

[Elaine]

Scooter-the logical song (i just hate it full stop)
Nickleback-how u remind me (to cut my hair)
ub40- red red wine
gloria gaynor-i will survive (think im the only girl in ireland who will leave the room when that comes on)
Chris the bug or whatever-lady in red (aggggh get it off the radio)

[John Fleming]

That's *my* request list for Sunday night's "shoe" updated!

Personally:

Shania Twain - That Don't Impress Me Much, from the opening chords i jump to switch stations, but once i've heard those opening chords the full song is in my head, and there's little else in my head at the best of times, so the song hangs around for quite a while, sometimes stopping to have a cup of tea!

Bryan Adams - Everything I Do, I Do it to drive you crazy

Supertramp - Logical Song (illogical i know because everybody seems to love it!)

[Elaine]

Oh god how could i forget..............my most hated song ever,
Dont know who sings it but u know the one "hit me with your rythem stick" lol.................aggggggggggh

[Turiel]

Scooter tops the list I'm afraid.

[clubhappy]

Supertramp 's logical song ??
How dare you slag off a classic john , next you'll be slagging off
The Nolans , Boney M {ok daddy cool was funky ] ,Brotherhood of man , Black lace {legends in the music industry} ,Dana {a babe },Philomena begley [sex on legs and a great singer },the list goes on.

Gotta go , need to get sober and get off this LSD .

PS ....anybody got The Outhere Brothers album for my next trip .

[KJ]

Black Lace??! lmao

Others ...........

Russ Abbot - Atmosphere (HOW drunk exactly do ye need to be for this?)

Id agree on Tina Turner's "The Best" too (baaaaad flashbacks to my mobile disco days as a kid)

Obvious crap like;

Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (Handbag Hell)

Tiffany - I Think We're Alone Now (actually a great pop tune once, just *really* over-played now)

Madonna - Like A Virgin (ditto)


Recent stuff .........

Ive said it on the board already, but I just wanna underline my love and good vibes for Scooter, Las Ketchup and the Madhouse take on "Like A Prayer". The latter sounding like a cat been strangled, stuck into a bin bag and thrown down a flight of stairs. The girl is so out of tune its funny. Shame on all gigging jocks who didnt bother getting the bootleg version with the original Madonna vocal! :p


KJ

;)

[Elaine]

Like a cat been been stangled, stuck in a bin bag and thrown down a flight of stairs
Hmm im getting the feeling u dont like this song then?;)

[KJ]

lol

Just the Madhouse "cover version" ....... Ive heard me Ma singing better after too many at family functions ;)

The Madonna bootleg I play is probably my biggest floor-filler at the mo' tho

KJ

[Liamo]

Add me to the anti-Scooter list, and add MOST of the rap crap that seems to comprise of shouting over what would be pretty good funky updates to old samples.

"Jus'coz u can do it, boy, don' mak usgothroughit, boy, keep yer rappin' twoyerselcoz all that crap drives me to hell and if you think you shouldbeheard make sher dat you ken say the words coz joinin dem and talkin fast an losin letters piss me of fast.."

Then add any boyband where the lyrics seem to come out their noses.....AND it seems to be catching...on a recent (unintentional, I might add) channel-flicking pause at "The Lyrics Board", someone who for a moment looked like they might actually appreciate music gave some classic musical the Ronan Keating treatment - ouch!

[KittyKat]

"you're mi-i-i-i-ine baby, your my favourite waste of time" uh ha, baby. one two- check the mike, big up y'all... love to hear a rapped up remix of that crap .....not!!

[Original Tyrone Gobshite!]

I'm generally a person that is completely against Capital punishment...

...until I heard Blazin' Squad's complete destruction of Crossroads. Ditto All Saint's cover of Under the Bridge. I hate pop groups that cover a song to make it sound completly different and strip all meaning out of the original

Dont know who sings it but u know the one "hit me with your rythem stick" lol.................aggggggggggh It was Ian Dury and the Blockheads.

I actually don't mind Scooter that much (this of course comes from someone who has their "Greatest Hits" Album from 1998! :eek:) - In pretty much the same vein as the Vengaboys (remember them? Whoops!) Their poppy Eurodance anthems were released as singles, the more harder, underground stuff as b-sides and album tracks. You need to see more than the surface in them.

The line does have to be drawn at Las Ketchup, Geri Halliwell and Madhose though...

[Elaine]

Ah kittykat i like that song lol.... no really i do!! (",).

I agree with the cover versions but there is one that i think was good "the pet shop boys, always on my mind".

Anything with ja rule drives me up the wall..... sorry but its like every rnb song feat ja rule. He cant even sing!!! (sorry dane)

[Dane Bowers]

Ja Rule is only one of the most talented artists to come out of America in the last fifty years, some may find his singing talent debatable (Personally I think he rox) But you can't argue that he really is the king of the remix. Don't diss him!

I was trying to attach a nie sexy picture of him, but it's saying It's not a valid gif of jpg file, which it is, hmmm...odd!

Anyway It's much more thoughtful of me to tell you about
this http://www.geocities.com/da_playa_domain/rulepix.html

Yea, Elaine, and try not to drool too much! :)

[Dane Bowers]

There we go!

[Liamo]

I'm with Elaine......musically, it might be iffy, and it won't win any awards, but Owen Paul's one-hit-wonder is a definite memory-prompter from the 80s.

[Peadar]

Scooter's no.1 on my list

[Flash 105 FM]

AT GIGS
Bryan Adams - Summer of '69 (Every gig, every bloody gig)

Rednex - Cotton Eyed Joe (Bog Warrior Anthem!)

Anne Lee - 2 Times (I've talked about this song before!!)

[Katy Lied]

Anything by the Saw Doctors, Chris De Burgh, Shania Twain, J. Lo



but the killer has to be Whitney's Version of "I will alway's love you"

[Bouncer_irl]

dj otzy hey baby
bee gees anything by them especially tragedy
darius colour blind
and finally Culture Club Camma camila or how ever u spell it

[Liamo]

2 times.....du, de doody-doody, do, de doody doo......

Waaaaaahh!

C'mere....where'd ye get ye're hands on these remixes and bootleg versions

examples: the aforementioned Madonna remix
S-Club + Michael Jackson : Don't stop movin'/Billie Jean

etc ?

Are they downloadable ? If so from where ? If not, on what CDs could I find them, and where could I order them from ?

[Twisted Sister]

"Havin' My Baby".......BITE ME!

And...somebody better shove a sock in Kelly Osbornes mouth.

[Liamo]

Paul Anka ? Jeez, there's one I haven't heard in a while!

One funny thing is how stuff that was once overplayed tends to be better than memory served when you hear it again (think Natalie Imbruglia's "Torn")

[Iano]

Simply the best .Tina Turner , mainly requested by women who dont get out too much and have limited club or music experience .
Most of them have a Westlife CD somewhere in the collection along with The best of ''Brendan Grace ''
There should be a law set up banning them from ever visiting nightclubs and keeping their nights out restricted to the local kareokie in some run down toilet where everybody sings ''The fields of Athenry '' at the end of the night .

No disrespect meant here , [ actually lots of disrespect meant here ] , most women are sooooooooooooo predictable , ill give 1,0000 euro to the first woman up to me next tuesday looking for The Sex Pistols or AC/DC ........

[Cassie O'Meara]

Gee, it's to bad I don't go to clubs.
Because you'd owe me some money.
I'm not to fond of Tina Tuner and "Dirty Deeds" and "Hells Bells" happen to be two of my favorite songs!!!:D

[DeargDoom]

Ian is a greaser at heart. the amount of times hes lost gigs after playing "Whole Lotta Rosie" and "Black Betty" five times a night is just unreal.

Ye don't like tina turner? Try working in ILR! arf arf

DD

[Iano]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH , AC / DC , now your talkin .
Just because iv still got my Fonz picture on my wall dosent mean im out of touch . Dose it ??

[DeargDoom]

We thought you WERE the Fonz Ian!!!

How YOU doin!...


DD

[Tracey Lee]

:rolleyes: What grand singles just make your skin crawl? :eek:
Since this is a personal visceral response kind of thing,
it's certain that we should have a nice range of responses.:nutter:
Let's have a little fun, shall we? :lol:

[KJ]

Proclaimers - 500 Miles

Tight Fit - In The Jungle

Counting Crows - Mr Jones

Anything that Ivan Eego plays in his oldies set ;)

[john_j]

Alicia Keys - Falling
Fatboy Slim - Praise You
Lonestar - Amazed
...all still getting far too much airplay!!

[Liamo]

Tight Fit - In The Jungle

Would that be "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", Kelly ? (awim-away, awim-away :D )

For my book, any over-produced, badly-thought-out cover version or sample that neither adds to or retains the impact and meaning of the original.

[Bren Long]

Any of those Westlife versions of the crooner classics. Sinatra, Martin, Davis, and Lawford must still be screaming with horror in their graves, and I'm surprised Joey Bishop hasn't had an aneurism as a result.

Anything by the Cheeky Girls.
Any Stock Aiken & Waterman production.
Anything by Busted (proof that bad things come in 3's).
All those terrible manufactured band cover versions that we've been subjected to over the years.
G4 and Il Divo songs. STOP WITH THE OPERA/POP/ROCK SHITE.

[Ivan Eego]

Proclaimers - 500 Miles

Tight Fit - In The Jungle

Counting Crows - Mr Jones

Anything that Ivan Eego plays in his oldies set ;)

Don't know what was in that pizza last night, but i haven't played the above in a very long time, :innocent:

Kylie and Jason - Especially for you, believe thats an saturday night anthem in a certain Rathmines superpub Kelly :mad:

Now that tune gets on MY wick ! :swearing:

[defender]

anything like declan nearney,richie kavanagh,and irish country music,
And most songs that have bad words in them,Its dreadfull shocking stuff.

But ya 500 miles has to be the one,But even worse is the tweets the birdie song, Now thats a head wrecker. :frust:

[herbert]

Ususlly I hate those overplayed songs....Celine Dion - My heart will go on, Gloria Gaynor - I will survive, Abba - Dancing queen, Eifell 65 - Blue, Van Morrison - Brown Eyed girl and any oldie that Tony Fenton plays :cry:

[Katy Lied]

I useta love her: Saw Doctors :frust:

[WayneScales]

Yeah Kelly,what was in that pizza (not that i delivered it or anything *cough cough*),and at 5 in the morning too,ya sicko!Your barred from P.Js!
Annoying songs:

1) Proclaimers - 500 Miles
2) Kathrina and The Waves - Walking on Sunshine
3) Van Morrison - Brown Eyed Girl
4) Foundations - Build Me Up
5) Any UB40! (Ahhhhhhhhhh)

Counting Crows???? Choooon!

[sub-site]

Martine McCutchon -Perfect Moment.

[Boston Barney]

Don't know what was in that pizza last night, but i haven't played the above in a very long time, :innocent:

Kylie and Jason - Especially for you, believe thats an saturday night anthem in a certain Rathmines superpub Kelly :mad:

Now that tune gets on MY wick ! :swearing:

Meeeeeooooow!

Muhahahahahahahahahaha! :eek:

[Ben Murray]

That Ketchup song from years ago! Aghhhhhhhh!

[Tracey Lee]

Tony Christie-Is this the way to Amarillo
Lonestar-Amazed
Christie Hennessy!!!!
Defin.. Cheeky girls...Aaaarghh!!

[kinky bitch]

maybe i have no taste in music but all the songs that u have a mentioned i love there all great to sit in with your mates and play them with a few drinks there sing along songs

[WayneScales]

Yeah Kinky,I can imagine u and all ur girly mates sitting around listening to Christie Hennessy!

[Katy Lied]

Oh yeah - Dreadlock Holiday 10cc - have to reach for the remote when I hear it coming on - Dilemma - Nellie and Kelly, Kylie - Slow....

[Declan Walsh]

Well, I have to disagree with all those people who mentioned the Proclaimers. I quite liked them and thought 500 Miles was one of their best. I have to admit to getting a free Christie Hennessy CD once in a draw and I enjoyed his stuff! I also think Mr Jones by the Counting Crows and Dreadlock Holiday by 10cc are very good!! I have also mellowed with Abba over the years.
I have to say UB40's early stuff like Food for Thought and One in Ten were pretty good, but their later stuff was mainly bland if not awful!

That said I would agree with most of the others mentioned. One of my pet hates has always been anything sung by Neil Diamond. Should be banned from Weddings... in fact, nearly every Wedding pop favourite!

Also, I think U2 came out with their worst song ever with Mysterious Ways.
Also Move Closer by Phil Nelson.

[john_j]

Kylie - Slow....

You blasphemer! :mad: ;)

The Rembrants - I'll be there for you
Babylon Zoo - Spaceman
almost anything by J Lo

...now that's more like it!!

[Groovester]

Any of that kiddie"Rave" shite that some call dane muzeek (eh, dory bud, deadly buzz man) of bpms of 1,300 etc lol, severe SHITE, an insult to real dance music.
yes, eiffel 65 - Blue complete crap!

[Fergie]

Pizza man. Someone kill me the pain, MY ears.LOL......

[KJ]

Would that be "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", Kelly ? (awim-away, awim-away :D )

Thats the one ;)

And Ivan Ive no idea what you're talking about :innocent:

[KJ]

*threads merged due to common theme*




Id like to add Amarillo to my own list(!)

Is this the way to the Lomans Media Wing? ;)

[The Heat]

"Doop"
What a crap yet listenable tune!

[Cian Farrell]

These Words Natasha Betinfield. So annoying!
That new Crazy Frog, I rather here the worst singer in History, than listen to that crap.
