Most Hated Retail Song

(Anonymous) 2023-08-15 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Inspired by #7, semi-related question. What song are you always hearing at the store and getting irritated by? It can be for serious reasons, because you've heard it way too many times, or just because it's not to your liking.

Where Have All the Cowboys Gone is probably mine (thread OP), no serious reason at all and I didn't mind the song the first thousand or so times I heard it, but it was featured on the store playlist at two different crappy jobs I did and having to listen to it roughly two or three times a day every day at two places drove me a little nuts. It's one of those songs that sounds way worse through muffled store speakers too.

It's more of a Christmas Hate Song but the only place I hear it now is in retail settings. Last Christmas by Wham. Oh I hate it like lesser men hate Baby It's Cold Outside. Like, it's been a fucking year my guy LET GO. yeah yeah yeah queen longing, gender unspecified pronoun "you", etcetera etcetera. Whatever. This song desperately needs EITHER a BICO style duet about how his ex is super stoked he's found a new love, yay, glad we're still friends OR to not be set on Christmas so it can be just a generic "last time I gave you my heart" and doesn't give us serial killer vibes of all this bitterness for a straight year.

I also dislike that bland "minivan rock" of the early 2000s: dare you to move, higher by Creed, ect.

I could do a whole thread of replies to myself just on the worst Christmas music. It's so bad. Minivan rock is a great term for that, lol. I do listen to a lot of 2000s rock voluntarily but it's different and way worse when it's the same handful of songs that all sound alike, over and over.

I have retail trauma from Silver Bells lol. My second ever job had internal canned music and during Christmas it played like 5 different versions of Silver Bells so it felt like it played every third song.

Augh, and that's such a stupid song. Feel you, anon.

And this is why I opt for the techno instrumental version of this song.

When I worked retail, our "holiday mix" music had *3* different covers of Feliz Navidad.

Hahaha! At one store I worked the Christmas playlist had at least 3 versions of Let it Snow, one of which was bizarrely slow and dirgelike. Stocking shelves to that was mind numbing... Let it snow... Let it snow... Let it snoooooooooooww...............

It isn't time yet, but soon we'll all be subject to the dulcet tones of Noddy Holder screaming "Its Christmas" and singing Merry Christmas at us for two months straight.

I haven’t heard it in a while, but I really hated “All About That Bass”. It just made my head want to explode.

I used to work at a shop where multiple employees came from the same church. They played fucking Faith of Our Fathers. As an atheist, I could not be more offended.

(Since everyone’s talking Christmas, I also hated Mary Do You Know.)

That's weird ass Dance For Me or wtfever, by the singer who sounds like she's trying to imitate Janis Joplin but really just sounds like she's gargling marbles in her mouth

Oh, wait, it's Dance Monkey. God. That's even worse.

Usually it only comes up in late June and early July, but that fucking Proud to Be an American country song makes me want to pop my own eardrums. Such jingoistic bullshit.
