Most annoying songs — Page 5

This is the most interesting thread...I think overplayed songs are the most annoying. The only thing I can think is that the songs were good at one point or why else would people sing/play them so much. I think it's cool that everyone can come on here and share their opinions. We're all entitled.
The one song that really sticks out to me is Baltimore Crabs from Hairspray. I do have to admit that although I completely hated the song when I had only heard the cd, my opinion definitely changed when I heard the song live. In the context of the show, it is a really enjoyable song. Linda Hart was AMAZING when she say it. It is a powerful and humorous song when you get to see it live.
As far as Seasons of Love goes...I love Rent and at one point I really enjoyed that song, but at this point, unless I'm seeing the show live, I don't enjoy hearing that song. I pretty much always skip over it when I listen to the recording. It's not that it is necessarily a bad song, but it is WAY overdone. Like I said, overplaying is definitely a way for me to tire of a song. Those are just some thoughts.

I can't believe no one said either of the suitors' songs from "Fiddler on the Roof"! "Miracle of Miracles" is possibly my least favorite showtune *ever*, closely followed by "Now I Have Everything".

I'm sure there's at least one more, but it's five a.m. and I've been working at the theatre everyday this week for at least 18 hours a day --- going to bed now. I'll think of more later. Until then, night night.

someone like you is AWESOME!!!

A couple things first just beacuse a play is populatr doesn't means it's good. I liked RENT when i was in high school but for some reason has seemed to grow out of it. The other thing is the topic:

ANything from Joesph(WHy do people like this show?)
Anything from Starlight Express (SAME QUESTION)
Allthough I adore the play "I'm wearing underwear today" is one of the wrost songs in recent memory I genarlly hate the character of Brian period.
I argee the Bailtmore crabs is annoying I aslo find "Run and Tell that" annyoing
Now I have everything may be possbily the wrost musical theater song ever, which why it usually cut from most productions of it

I can't stand Tomorrow but that may be mainly due to an aversion I have for hearing children sing. To me there is nothing more annoying than the sound of a child singing.

I also dislike most Rogers and Hammerstein songs. Almost everything from The Sound of Music grates on my nerves.

I'm surprised by some of the things listed here, not so much indivdual songs, that's a matter of perosnal taste, but entire scores. It's hard to belive that in any score a person can't find even one song tolerable. Unless, of course, it's teh entire score of The Sound Of Music.

I dunno why so may people are naming Hairspray songs! But i suppose everyone is entitled to their own opinion! My fav'rite musicals are Hairspray, Little Shop Of Horrors, Thoroughly Modern Millie, and Annie!!! They are so kool!

The songs i Hate-

Grease Lightnin'- omg that song is so crap!
the entire-Annie get your gun score!
the entire- West side story score! ARRRGGGHHHH- it goes thru my head
i hate almost every thing rogers and hamersteins! but the sound of music i can tolerate!
My Fair Lady- its just crap!
Evita- need i say more!
Miss Saigon! umm- not my thing
Les Miserables- worst musical EVER!

ok so i tend to hate alot of musicals instead of just single songs! but this is only MY opinion!

In my ivory tower life was just a hostess snack- but now ive tasted chocolate and im NEVER goin back!
hAiRspRaY- rocks!

"Old Fashioned Love Story~Wild Party. I really like wild party, but I have to skip this song, I cant stand it."

This song and Alix Korey are the only reasons I give this TWP any consideration. (I mean Julia is fine and all, let's give her some good music!)

I didn't read through the whole thread, so I'm not sure if anyone else mentioned it yet, but I so can't deal with "Her Is" from The Pajama Game.

Someo f the people on this thread make me laugh

"Inner Peace" from Bring Back Birdie is REALLY annoying, I don't think I've heard a song so bad in musical theatre with the exception of "Out For Blood" from Carrie The Musical (which had the worst lyrics ever created).

As much as I adore Sondheim, Maria.
The Old Lady ballet from The Producers.

Are those the only shows you think are kool?

Thats good, how was Billy Elliot, I've heard mixed things about the show but have yet to hear any of the music.
