I'm not that innocent
Song lyrics from hell
Deep in the book that will be turned in this week - so just checking in to say I hate Britney Spears. I mean, not personally, I'm sure she's a lovely girl, but she has been the cause of much anguish this week in my house. Princess somehow got her hands on a Britney CD that has an insidious song on it, the main lyrics of which seem to be I'M NOT THAT INNOCENT.
Picture my darling cherub-cheeked 6 year-old daughter singing this.
Over and over and over until my brain explodes.
Sooooo, in honor of my deadline-frazzed brain, and my upcoming book, I'm running a little contest here at the Lit Chicks. Write a comment and tell me your vote for the most annoying song lyrics of all time, and I'll randomly pick 3 to receive a free copy of BLONDES HAVE MORE FELONS.
OOPS, I DID IT AGAIN.
hugs,
Alesia, whose vote is either for the hideous INNOCENT song or the Barney theme song, which still haunts me at random moments YEARS after my kids quit watching the show

Ashlee Simpson's L.O.V.E.
Dear god... I can still hear her screaming, "Ell O Ell O Vee Ee!"

Now I know what it must have been like for my mom *touched for the very first time...like a vi-i-i-irgin.* :)

Anything from Brittney Spears, Ashley Simpson, Jessica Simpson, or any of the popular, talentless pop tarts. As a former music teacher, pop music in general as of late has been an insult to the word music. But I'm just bitter about it.
Oh, and that hack Jessica Simpson ruining what was... well, honestly not that good of a Nancy Sinatra song, but to take a bad song and make it worse? Lord almighty! No wonder Nick wised up and left her moronic rear.
Yes, this teen-to-20-something sitck figures with no talent annoy the living heck out of me.

IT'S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL, IT'S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL, IT'S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL, IT'S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL.
Followed closely by, "But don't tell my heart,
my achy breaky heart, I just don't think he'll understand." I thought that song was supposed to be a joke the first time I heard it.

One two three four... everyone walk the dinosaur boom boom chaka laka laka boom
I have no idea what that was all about. just bad.
I remember singing along with the Rolling Stones about "running to the shelter of a mother's little helper" just like I was mother's little helper not realizing until my 30's that I'd been belting out a song about a pill popping housewife. Woo!

"A few times I've been around that track
So it's not just gonna to happen like that
Because I ain't no hollaback girl
I ain't no hollaback girl"
Or anything off of Gwen Stefani's "Love, Angel, Music, Baby." She hacks my last good nerve, but that song... grrrr
"I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh all the things you do
Cause you were all yellow"
Actually, again, pretty much anything Coldplay has ever done. Far as I'm concerned they have one half of a good song, the latter half of "Fix You" and that's only because the rest of the band comes in and drowns out Chris Martin's whiny falsetto.
And what list like this is complete without Britney-- there's just so much to choose from but this gem stands out...
"With the taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slippin' under (Ohh Ohh)
With a taste of the poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?"
I'll stop now. ;-)

My hump, my hump, my hump, my hump, my hump,
My hump, my hump, my hump, my lovely little lumps.
I like the Black Eyed Peas song the first time I hear it. But after that, I just want to kill someone whenever they start singing anything by them.
Where is the Love?

Here is just a snippet of what I consider internal hell:
Who let the dogs out
{woof, woof, woof, woof}
{woof, woof, woof, woof}
{woof, woof, woof, woof}
{woof, woof, woof, woof}
Chorus:
Who let the dogs out {woof, woof, woof, woof}
Who let the dogs out {woof, woof, woof, woof}
{woof, woof, woof, woof}
Yes, that's "Who let the dogs out" by the Baha Men. The worst part is I actually bought the single...
But what I want to know is who really let the dogs out? Shame on them.

Ok, the first song to pop into my head was "Blue (Da Ba De)" by Eiffel 65. If you've heard it, I don't have to say anything else. LOL Of course there are countless children's songs but we'll leave those out for now. :)
Posted by: Amber at February 16, 2006 4:28 PM
I hate the theme song to 'OOBI', a children's program on Noggin. I have to say it annoys me to no end. Also, 'Hung Up' by Madonna, when it first came out a local radio station played it for 2 hours, over, and over, and over.....
Posted by: Brandy at February 16, 2006 4:57 PM
Oh. My. God. Well, first of all, anything on any children's show, ever. With the possible exception of Sesame Street. I kinda like those. Rubber Ducky, you're the one. ;) And, yeah, Britney, I think, may be evil. You know, I'm not saying she's devil spawn exactly, but her music definitely comes from a dark force.
And now I've got that L-O-L-O-L-O-V-E song in my head. I think I need some wine. ;)

A comment from a newly-addicted literary chick reader...
Annoying song lyrics? Anything by Shania Twain. And I'm not SUPPOSED to dislike her -- I'm CANADIAN. It's like treason. (Please don't tell on me.) But she's got lyrics that make my ears bleed. Here is a selection (sorry to punish you so with my very first comment).
"Who's bed have your boots been under?" (Did my Grandma write this song? Woo!)
"Man, I feel like a woman!" (Imagine that one coming from your 5 year old son.)
"What, you think you're Elvis or something? That don't impress me much." (Yeah, well me neither Ms. Twain.)
"Even my skin is acting weird. I wish that I could grow a beard. Up Up Up, it only goes up from here." (Let's hope so.)
"I gol' darn gone and done it." (No comment required.)
"My pantyline shows. Got a hole in my hose. My hair went flat. Man, I hate that." (Yes, this is from a song. Give me achy-breaky heart any day.)
I rest my case.

LOL, I don't like Briney Spears as a pop star or a singer.
Posted by: Faith Bicknell-Brown at February 16, 2006 9:31 PM
That hump thing. I saw it on a commercial and didn't even know what it was until my 16 year old daughter exploded about how much she hated that song and then had to explain it to me.
Whatever the lyrics are of "I like big butts..." Ewww!!!!
And then of course, my personal favorite, "I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map...."
I guess he's the MAP!!!!

I have to go with Achey Breaky Heart...that has to be one of the most annoying songs I've ever heard and it gets in the brain and won't go away...argh...now I've got it on my mind!!!! Help!
Posted by: Teresa H at February 17, 2006 1:21 AM
I hate this one
I'm a redneck woman
I ain't no high class broad
I'm just a product of my raising
I say, 'hey y'all' and 'yee-haw'
And I keep my Christmas lights on
On my front porch all year long

"I'll take you to the candy shop. I'll let you lick the lollipop."
Imagine THAT coming from a 6-year old boy. ARGH I hate MTV...

I was taking my 2-year-old and our pug on a spin around the neighborhood yesterday, and three young men were outside fooling around with a car, and blasting a song, the lyrics of which went:
"[f-bomb][f-bomb][f-bombing][f-bomber][f-bomb]."
It was four in the afternoon.
I gave them my best Death-ray glare, and they immediately turned the music down.

When my daughter was little, somebody gave her a Dolly Parton CD. Why, I have no idea. If I hadn't already disliked country music, hearing a 5-year-old singing "Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene" over and over again (because that's the only part she could remember) would have done it. *shudder*
On a vastly more pleasant note, I've already got a copy of Blondes Have More Felons. *happy dancing*

My most unfavorite song of all time...The Birdie Song.
Did you guys get it over in America? I think you did. Anyway, it was very popular at the time and it came with a horrible dance, and usually got played at family parties, and your parents made you join in, and you flapped your arms like a chicken and strutted about like a chicken. There were no words, just an annoying, really annoying tune that went along the lines of this
DeDeDeDeDeDeDe DeDeDeDeDeDeDe
Dah Dah Dah Dah, Dah Dah Dah Dah
DeDeDeDeDeDeDe DeDeDeDeDeDeDe
Dah Dah Dah Dah, Dah Dah Dah Dah
DeDeDeDeDeDeDe DeDeDeDeDeDeDe
Dah Dah Dah Dah, Dah Dah Dah Dah
DeDeDeDeDeDeDe DeDeDeDeDeDeDe
Dah Dah Dah Dah
And then came the annoying chorus, which I won't attempt here, because that's enough torture for one day :-)

"I love you. You love me. We're a happy fam-i-ly." Lather, rinse, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat. You get it. Cute song, except when replayed a bazillion times a day. :-)
Oh, and the Humps song. I hate it, but canNOT resist sinking along. It's like a drug to an addict. Sheesh.

AARGHHH!!! WHY DID I ASK THIS??? Now I have all these annoying songs running through my head!!! IT'S A SMALL SMALL HUMPY WORLD WITH MY BOOTS UNDER THE HOLLABACK BED AND ACHY BREAKY HEART LIKE ELVIS!!! AARGHH!!
But, it was tons of fun to read. :) So, the random number generator, aka Princess, chose the following numbers from 1 to 22: 1, 4, and 21. 4 and 21 are Whitney and Michelle, and they don't get to win. (sorry, girls). So we tried again, and she came up with 5, 9, and 13. But we already had poor 1 (aka May), so I'm going to do 4 winners instead of 3 in the spirit of complete disclosure of my scientific random process. So, MAY, KELLY, LISA P., AND CYNTHIA, please send me your snail mail addys at alesia at alesiaholliday DOT com and your signed copy of BLONDES HAVE MORE FELONS will be on the way in early March!
hugs,
Alesia

Come on Eileen.. oh I swear it's a dream..... (annoying banjo rif here)
This song came out while I was in high school. Shy and surrounded by young men with a sense of humor that still focused on the toilet and body functions. They would sing this song while pretending to.... well let's just say "self pleasure" It's a wonder I survived.
