That Paul McCartney Christmas song. I think it's called "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time." I hate that song more than any other song ever recorded.

We Built This City by Jefferson Starship. So bad. 😂

the_OG_fett@reddit

There is no better answer—Funny, written by the same guy as Bennie and the Jets

Starship is like really watered down beer. You suspect it might have been good (Jefferson Airplane) if they just left it alone, but someone had to try to thin it out (Jefferson Starship) and then really really water it down (Starship) to get as much as they could out of it.

Bennie and the Jets cover by Biz Markie and the Beastie Boys was incredible.

🎵 "Don't worry. Be happy. 🎶

"Walking on sunshine"

PM_MEOttoVonBismarck@reddit

I've always hated walking on sunshine I can't stand that song. It was everywhere in my childhood and It makes me reach wretched when it comes on now.

It reminds me of painfully fake joy. It's like someone's holding a gun to their fucking heads.

[-]

AbbyM1968@reddit

Thank you!! I've often felt like I was the only one who completely despised that song!

[-]

PM_MEOttoVonBismarck@reddit

Why were schools so obsessed with it. It used to come one at every event. Just made a bad thing worse.

Wow a lot of Canadian content here. This one I’ll defend though. The choice to sample More More More was pretty cool imo.

I don't understand how he stole another songs backing track, sung over it in the most raspy, annoying way popular and managed to make a summer hit?

I like the song, and I don’t think it’s GenX related, but the clear and correct answer is >!”That Thing You Do”!< (I’m sorry, you went behind the curtain of your own volition.)

Kokomo by the Beach Boys is my Hell Song. If there was a song on repeat playing in hell, it would be that one. Many others too. Pretty much all of Supertramp.

Little known 70s singer Laura Nyro is awful too. My Innocence is absolutely dreadful. Her voice grates my ears, like being in the high school auditorium during tryouts for a musical. I listen to a 70s yacht rock station online and she comes up now and then, as does Supertramp. Nothing makes me change the station quicker than either of them.

You didn’t mean to, but based on the comments, you actually asked us to name the low key greatest GenX earworms we can think of.

I’ve already collected a playlist of bangers and it’s only been up an hour.

Thank you-I was feeling attacked since I love most of these songs (although I would like to shoot “Blue” directly into the sun)

Loud-Consequence7932@reddit

Care to share it when completed? I have a guys trip coming up and I’d love to use that playlist and a Bluetooth speaker on the lowest volume while they are sleeping in the other cabin. Nothing tells your friends that you love them more than subliminal torture.
