I don't know the name of it, but the one that goes "it's all about that bass, no treble".
These were both extremely popular at the same time at a point when I was frequently going to the gym. If I spent 90 minutes at the gym, I would hear both of these songs three times. I absolutely cannot stand them. I disliked the second one from the beginning and didn't care for the first, and then I heard each of them dozens and dozens of times over just a couple of months.
You reminded me about that one Green Day song that played on the radio every ten minutes throughout my entire childhood. Boulevard of Broken Dreams. To this day I cannot listen to any Green Day song.
I did the same for Gotye - Somebody that I used to know. I thought it was such a frustratingly terrible song, I couldn't help but mock it when it came on. I genuinely thought I was living in a world full of people lying when I'd be at a party and others would say they loved it. For like 2 years I was just like "you're kidding right?"
There's this one song I keep forgetting the name
of but it was super popular in the early 2000s and it was in the radio all the time. Damn I hate that song!
If it's alternative rock, I'd imagine it's something off this list:
Hoobastank - The Reason.
Puddle of Mudd - Blurry. Also, She Hates Me.
Evanescence - Bring Me to Life.
Trapt - Headstrong.
Audioslave - Like a Stone (mediocre song at best. Played non fucking stop for what felt like 5 years).
Three Days Grace - I Hate Everything About You.
Nickelback - How You Remind Me (specifically this one, but the rest of their discography too).
Seether - Broken.
Creed - With Arms Wide Open.
Aha, I'm onto you. I won't invite any of those songs to enter my mind and rattle around in there for the rest of the day by thinking about them. Good try, though.
I had to hear that fucking song, on loop, non stop, for a whole week, when it was used to test the speaker systems on the cruise ship I was working aboard. You could not even escape it in your cabin while you slept. 😬
If I heard it come on in the grocery store while looking at Lean Cuisines, it would put everyone in that store at risk.
I love the song Harper Valley PTA. Great song. Very fun.
Once, before smartphones, on a car trip, one of sang the first few lines, and then neither of us could remember the rest. We then got lost, and spent the next 8+ hours driving before we got home. The entire fucking time it was stuck in our heads, with no respite. Just "I wanna tell you all a story 'bout a Harper Valley widow'd wife" on repeat. Over. And over. And over. And over again.
Once we got home and played, we naively assumed it was over. Alas, our brains had been conditioned. It was there for good. For 2 fucking weeks, it rattled around my skull and my mother's skull, relentlessly. Listening to it didn't help, not listening to it didn't help. Listening to other music didn't help. Sleep didn't help. It was the eternal intro. I thought I was going insane.
I cannot listen to that song anymore.
Angie Baby got stuck once pretty bad, too, but nothing like Harper Valley PTA
Not that I would ever literally do that over a song, but basically anything grating like death metal and scremo, as well as disturbed's cover of "sound of silence" all make me want to get away from that abusive noise as fast as possible. About as close as normal decibel sound can get to physical pain for me.
