"Razzle Dazzle" from Chicago. Seeing it live just bores me to pieces.
"Dancing Is Not A Crime" from Footloose
"Timeless to Me" from Hairspray
"Love Is Only Love" from the Hello Dolly! movie. I know it's not in the stage show, but whenever I watch the movie I have to fast-forward through this song.
OK, WHAT? What? Why do you hate that song? Do you just hate the melody and lyrics? Its function? What? I can understand almost all of these, but that really baffles me.
" Timeless to Me"- Hairspray- I agree fun to watch on stage, but boring on recording. "Cooties"- Hairspray "Sing" A Chorus Line "Over the Moon"- Rent "The Wedding Chorale - Beggars At the Feast'- Le Miserables "Razzle dazzle"- Chicago "Ascot Gavotte" My Fair Lady
"Miss Baltimore Crabs" and "Cooties" - Hairspray "Your Eyes" - Rent "Magic Foot" - Spelling Bee (I don't know why, I just can't STAND that song!) "The Dark I Know Well" - Spring Awakening "Gee, Officer Krupke" - West Side Story. I know, I know, it's brilliant, but something about it irks me. "Another Pyramid" - AIDA
Hear the words I sing: war's a horrid thing. So, I sing sing sing... Ding a ling a ling.
""Another Pyramid" isn't great, but "Like Father Like Son" is horrendous.
I can't stand MOST of the music from "Spelling Bee", actually."
I agree with 100% of that statement. I swear, Aida has the most lopsided score of brilliance, and cringe-worthy badness. And yeah, something about a lot of Spelling Bee just.. I don't know... I just don't like it.
How someone could hate "The Music and the Mirror" though is beyond me.
"Another Pyramid" from Aida. Or maybe it's just the dancing soldiers.
I love how they rhythmically murder a snitch during a catchy, cheerful pop song. It almost makes me want to put it in an "awesomely bad" category moreso than "a song I hate".
Like a firework unexploded

Oh. Agreed on Turpin's Johanna. John Doyle's production took a different interpretation of the song, and it was much better. However, on my original recording, it's just... odd.
