I HATE that song. All my friends sang it nearly non-stop a few years back. I kinda like the lyrics, but the song itself really isn't that good.

You and I in little toy shop,
Buy [a] bag of balloons with the money we got
Set them free at the break of dawn
Til one by one they are gone....

 

[rh71]

oh and Blur - GIRLS WHO ARE BOYS
WHO LIKE BOYS TO BE GIRLS
WHO DO BOYS LIKE THEY'RE GIRLS
WHO DO GIRLS LIKE THEY'RE BOYS

... I really hate that accent, let alone the lyrics.

18. Ricky Martin, ?Livin? La Vida Loca?
19. Semisonic, ?Closing Time?
20. Wham!, ?Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go?

Bolded one more, otherwise I agree.
The intro to #16 is rather annoying. ("Would you offer your throat to the wolf with red roses? " etc.)

When I read the title of this thread, I thought of most of those songs right away, and I'll also add: Hey Mickey, Come on Eileen, Peanut Butter Jelly Time, Achy Breaky Heart, and if you've ever been in hell (aka, the it's a small world ride at Disney) then It's A Small World Afterall.

how the fuck aren't the following on the list? :

journey - don't stop believing
bon jovi - living on a prayer

No way! That's a happy song, not an annoying song.

You're confusing the song with Pauly Shore who danced to that song in Bio Dome. Pauly Shore is annoying. Safety Dance is a fun song.

Yeah a pretty good list actually

And Mambo No. 5 is an awesome song.

The Goldfinger version of 99 luft balloons is 1000x better than the original - one of the few remakes of a crappy song that made it awesome.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...DnEPR4&feature=related = annoying

You forgot The Night Chicago Died.

Those are great songs from back in the day. Well, most of them.

and besides A Horse with No Name was our theme song for our electronics class. That and Paul Revere by the Beastie Boys.

I considered it but decided that it wasn't annoying enough. Well, maybe the clock ticking part.

ok, now I know this thread is turning silly.

No, seriously. I'd rather listen to the collected works of Samwell for eternity than hear that fucking annoying tune just once.

What what?

They got crappier with every new iteration. Jefferson Airplane was pretty decent. Jefferson Starship sucked. They managed to out do themselves with Starship, and proved that they really could suck more.

Overplayed songs aren't intrinsically annoying. If you heard either of them for the first time, even if you didn't like them I doubt you'd classify them as annoying (top 20 annoying), they're just annoying because they're overplayed.

I'd be quite happy to relea$e $ome $ong$ a$ annoying a$ that '$hit'.

5. Nickelback, ?Photograph?

THANK GOD! I thought I was the only one that grinding my teeth when hearing those forced rhymes (...graph/laugh: ugh; almost as bad as friend/end), sentimentalism, and "turd-pinching" voice.

Oh, and I pretty much agree with the whole list, though I pretty much give Aqua a pass because I "get it" (bublegum pop is *about* the nonsense lyrics or, rather, the fun of singing them).
