    Hi! I was posting an answer to the topic "Songs that are too long" and I thought about this new topic. Are there any disco songs that you absolutely hate? I don't think I have too many but here is one: Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive." I absolutely and totally hate it!!!! Can't stand it even for a second.

    There are quite a few songs that I don't hate but I just don't care too much for. Arpegio's "Love and Desire" is one. Donna Summer's "She Works Hard For Her Money." is another.

    What are yours?

    The Trammps: Disco Inferno
    Any version of "Don't Cry For Me Argentina"
    Andrea True Connection: "What's Your Name, What's Your Number"

    However, if I can include more recent dance songs, there were plenty of ones from the early 90s that I despised -- not just because they were awful, but because I was subjected to them over and over and over again. Such as...

    Jomanda: "Got A Love For You Baby"
    Madonna: "Express Yourself/Rescue Me"
    Whitney Houston: "I'm Every Woman/I Will Always Love You"
    Crystal Waters: "She's Homeless/Makin' Happy"
    Mariah Carey: "Emotions" -- I swear, Denyse LePage was her vocal coach on this one...
    Robyn S: "Show Me Love/Love For Love" (same song, different lyrics!)


    I have a special hatred for novelty songs like
    Right Said Fred: "I'm Too Sexy"
    Gillette: "Short Dick Man"
    songs like these are mildly amusing the first couple of plays, and irritating after about a dozen. After the 500th time, I'm ready to spontaneously combust with rage. It never ceases to amaze me how drunk people can laugh at the same joke over and over and over and over again...

    But, as regulars of this board know, the track which brings out the darkest, most vicious, pure and unrelenting hatred in me is...

    Celine Dion: "Unison (Tommy Musto remix)"

    AAAAAAARRRRGHGHGHGH!!

    I had to sit through this wretched mess of sugar sonic dysentry at least 100 times. And why? Because every single gay club in Toronto played this song every single fucking night for TWO YEARS. This is NOT an exaggeration. This track WOULD NOT DIE. It was originally available only as a promo, so the only way to hear it was at a club. And the queens just could not get enough of this one. A guaranteed floor-filler, no DJ would risk going through a set without pulling this one out. At the sound of the machine-gun beat intro, scores of men would rush to the floor, as if a divine message was being broadcast from the speakers. And it was bad, believe me... it had all the worst elements of early 90s dance music combined into one stinking package: it was a medium-tempo MOR song repackaged for the club masses, it had those cheesy, stiff beats, the nasal, buzzing synth riffs, and... the rap. Yes, a rap in a frikkin' Celine Dion song. Largely unintelligible, but still utterly ridiculous. And I had to endure this night after night... I began to pray for the day that I could spend more than an hour at a club and NOT hear this song, and it was well over a year before my wish was granted. One club had an even more exclusive version of it, with a cheesy M1* piano solo that prolonged the agony for another 40 seconds or so. And then... just as the record was dying out, Sony put the track out commercially as a bonus on one of her later singles (which I think was two albums after "Unison")... and it started all over again.

    I hate this song. I hate the people that enjoyed it. I hate the DJs who gave in to them and played it night after night. I hate Celine, Tommy Musto, and all of Sony music for that matter. I hate it in such a way that it cannot be expressed in the English language. I would need a mathematical equation that uses Greek letters to show how much I hate it. And if I ever have to listen to it again, I will not be able to stop myself from demolishing the DJ booth.

    Gotta stop now... my blood sugar is going up just from thinking about this.


    * That overly bright housey-piano sound that was on every dance record from the late 80s. Trust me, you know this sound.

    Though I don't hate any disco song of the 70's, this song goes on my least favourite list along side with "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees and "YMCA" by the Village People, main reason THOSE BLOODY AUSTRALIAN RETRO STATIONS BELT THE LIVING **** OUT OF THIS SONG!!!!!! That's the reason why I lose interest in a lot of top 10 pop chart disco.

    Now that Grease Megamix that someone mentioned, damn I'm getting really close to hating that mix myself because the pay TV channel "musicMAX" belts the living **** out of the video clip, I have the bloody clip 10 times and the clip is **** boring, and the good old Aussie retro stations belt the **** out of this song more than any other song.

    Now do you guys really want to know what I HATE MOST for dance music? Well it's that awful oonce oonce oonce mid 1990's techno music especially bum crap like:
    Rednecks - Cotten Eye Joe (I hate that yeehah ride on cowby ****)
    Technohead - I Wanna Be A Hippy & I Wanna Get Stoned On Marijuana (this is the worst and most pathetic piece of toilet crap I've ever heard)
    Hocus Pocus - Here's Johnny (stupid stupid stupid)
    Aqua's Aquarium - Barby Girl (YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!!)
    that song that goes "I'm on the drug, I'm on the drug, I'm on the drug to kill River Phoenix" (who comes up with this monkey ****)
    that song that goes "Dumb, dadadada dum, dadadada dumb, dadadada dumb" (the only thing that's dumb is the band that's singing that song)

    And what I cannot stand most is boy bands. I don't know why but they just piss me off.

    And what I ABSOLUTELY HATE WITH PASSION is hip-hop with swearing and talking about pimps, prostitutes and oral sex and calling girls awful names such as "bitches" and overusing the word "************". And the worst example is Eminem, he sings absolute toilet crap which uses what I mention above, plus his voice IS SO DAMN ANNOYING!!!!!

    Now I'm really getting off topic. Basically what's least favourite is songs that get belted heaps and what I hate most is that oonce oonce oonce techno that has pure stupidity as mentioned above.

    Well done guys, let's talk about horrendous, cheesy, crappy songs!

    I hate "I WILL SURVIVE" too. It's the song, not the singer: GLORIA GAYNOR, DIANA ROSS & GLADYS KNIGHT (my favorite soul singer) recorded I WILL SURVIVE, but the song still sucks, no matter who sings it!!!

    "STAYING ALIVE" is a brilliant song, I can hear it a zillion times and I will always like it. But the BEE GEES have their share of crappy songs: TRAGEDY is awful, it surely deserves its title.

    "PHYSICAL" by OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN is a song I hate since the 1st time I heard it. Everything is wrong with this song: the "lyrics" suck, the "melody" is forgetable, the vocals are weak, etc.

    My dear friend BLAXMAN knows that I don't like CERRONE's music. Ok, I know you all love his records, etc., but his music says nothing to me, I'm sorry. BTW, the cover of CERRONE's SUPERNATURE is the ugliest LP cover I saw in my entire life! (BLAXMAN will kick me after reading this, believe me!)

    "I WON'T LET YOU DOWN" by PHD - ok, it's not a DISCO song, but I HATE it so much! To listen to this crap is an excruciating experience for me!

    Let me tell you this, friends: I hate these songs, but I respect the people who like them. Some of my favorite songs are crappy too, but what the hell, everybody have their favorite cheesy songs.

    "I know, it's only crappy songs but I like it!"

    Peace

    "I Will Survive" is maybe overplayed--OK, definitely OVERPLAYED--but I don't HATE it.

    ---------------------------------------------

    "STAYING ALIVE" is a brilliant song, I can hear it a zillion times and I will always like it. But the BEE GEES have their share of crappy songs: TRAGEDY is awful, it surely deserves its title.

    ---------------------------------------------

    Thank you, I totally agree "Stayin' Alive" is brilliant--but again overplayed.

    --------------------------------------------

    My dear friend BLAXMAN knows that I don't like CERRONE's music. Ok, I know you all love his records, etc., but his music says nothing to me, I'm sorry. BTW, the cover of CERRONE's SUPERNATURE is the ugliest LP cover I saw in my entire life! (BLAXMAN will kick me after reading this, believe me!

    --------------------------------------------

    This comment cracks me up. I wholeheartedly agree with that awful cover of people with hokey looking pig masks on. For years, I wouldn't buy Cerrone's LP's cause they looked sooo cheesy. Now, strangely I find I like the Cerrone oeuvre better than any of the other Eurotrash composers (excluding Mr. Moroder, of course). But Cerrone's stuff is infinitely more palatable to me than uh,...Costandinos and Midney and American's like Rinder & Lewis. I know I've said this all before.

    So, I don't really HATE these songs--BUT they annoy me greatly:

    "Boogie Motion" - Beautiful Bend
    "The Cocomotion" - El Coco
    "Hills Of Katmandu" - Tantra
    & lotsa songs by Lime.

    Hi MARKY,

    as I wrote on my post about the songs I love to hate, everybody that I know loves some pet cheesy sounds. I dig lots of crappy songs (songs I hate to love) and I don't know why - maybe they're related to some experiences that I had on the past and are now hidden on the subconcious, who knows? What I can say is this: it's all a matter of feeling.

    I know that taste can be acquired, thank God, so we can change our opinion from time to time and age gracefully. I'll never say that I WILL SURVIVE is not an important song. It is important, it fills dancefloors for 20 years or more (I've danced this song contless times), and I know that it's a well produced song, with a strong, positive message and great vocals by Gloria Gaynor. But I didn't like the melody of the song when I heard it for the 1st time and I don't like it now. My opinion got nothing to do with the fact that the song is overplayed. For me, NIGHT FEVER by THE BEE GEES, an overplayed song, is one of the most beautiful POP records ever made. When I say I hate this song, I'm saying "this stuff is not for me". I have some friends who love DISCO MUSIC and hate NIGHT FEVER, the song. Our tastes are not logical.

    As I told in another post, I'm not a fan of EURODISCO, but I dig some EURODISCO stuff: FROM HERE TO ETERNITY (GIORGIO), LET'S FLY AWAY, SOUVENIRS and SCOTCH MACHINE (VOYAGE), KNOWING ME, KNOWING YOU and DANCING QUEEN by ABBA (talkin' about cheesy songs...), and others.

    Hey, you can laugh at me and the songs I hate to love and the songs I love to hate.

    Peace ecaeP

    This is easy for me:

    'It's raining men' - The Weather Girls
    'Funkytown' - Lipps, Inc.
    'You dropped a bomb on me' - The Gap Band
    'Celebration' - Kool & the Gang

    Aaaaaargh! I can't stand any of these, yet you hear them at every wedding reception and on every commercial radio station. The sad thing is The Gap Band and Kool & the Gang have these songs as part of their great legacy.

    Easy,

    Sam "ALL JAM"

    1.Before I Let Go - Maze

    I think its the most hated song.

    3.You've Dromped The Bomb On Me - Gap Band
    4.All Fall Down - Evelyn Champagne King
    5.Heavenly Father - Alicia Morgan

    8.She Works Hard For The Money/On The Radio -Donna Summer

    10.Celebrate - Kool & The Gang
    11.Found A Cure/Solid - Ashford & Simpson
    12.Best Of My Love - The Emotions
    13.I've Got My Mind Made Up - Instant Funk

    Well, I've read all things posted here and have to say I totally agree with Marky's comments.
    On another note, it's strange that most songs on HustleBaby list I love, even she names some of my favourites! "Let it whip", for example.

    Ok, I've been reading peoples' posts and snickering; I've also made some notes:

    Graham--just as I thought we were gonna reach a little agreement on Midney--you take a snipe at "Don't Cry For Me Argentina"!!! I was just gonna concede the Midney/Festival "Evita" as his best work!!! I guess we are never gonna have any closure on this subject.

    Zeca--Eurodisco rules around here, so proceed at your own risk. The work of Costandinos and Midney and Cerrone and Rinder & Lewis (Americans but they sound French to me) is held in extremely high regard. I have been a lone voice of dissent. I've likened their work to "Easy Listening" Mantovanni style Disco; 1,001 Strings ("Violins On Fire" is a term dreamed up) "Beautiful Music" disco. Lacking some sort of soulful quality-- it doesn't make me wanna dance --except for Moroder--cause I think he's coming from a more Rock N Roll foundation. That's my take. I've had little support, except for Nano. Welcome aboard.

    Oh, and I can't believe my "Eurotrash composer" comment did not provoke an outcry of dissent. Will miracles never cease? Just a little yoke, folks

    Discodisk brought up Tina Charles, that little meeskyte from England. Well, we had a lengthy discussion of her merits, pro and con, a few months ago. I contended that her music was "ultra bubblegum" and I NEVER heard it played here in the U.S. Others, rallied to the diminuitive diva's defense. So much so that Bernie devoted a whole Dance Groove Radio show to her songs. Go figure!!!

    Disco1999 brought up Gino Soccio's "S-Beat" and Cheri's "Murphy's Law"--BOTH DREADFUL RECORDS, IMHO. Soccio's was such a disappointment (with the exception of "Rhythm of The World") and DJ's tried to get people to dance to that trendy, hyperfast, ersatz new wavey stuff. Never worked. As for that fucking chipmunk song, the less said the better. I always blamed Cheri for the vermin infestation in pop music, but someone else pointed out that it actually came from an earlier record-- and one that I love--"Don't Stop The Music" by Yarbrough & Peoples. If I could only re-edit that tune and take out those annoying chipmunk vocals!!!

    Disco1999 brought up a whole boatload of stuff I can't stand--especially the turds San Francisco foisted upon the danceworld in the early 1980's, i.e. most Patrick Cowley/Megatone/Paul Parker, etc. records. IF YOU LIVED IN SF AT THAT TIME YOU HAVE TO HATE, HATE, HATE THESE RECORDS!!!!!!! Keefe & I always refer to this SF stuff as cheap, homemade disco--made in someone's bedroom on cheap synths and spliced together and mass-marketed as the hot new thing. The Man Parrish "Hip Hop (Don't Stop)" song reeks also. And for giving a name to the HIP HOP GENERATION, it deserves my undying revulsion.


    Lastly, we have Hustlebaby's picks. Now except for the "dentist drill" vocals on "Love & Desire", I LIKE most of your most-hated. Songs like "Found A Cure", "Best Of My Love", "I'm Coming Out", "Haven't You Heard" and "Let It Whip" are all time faves of mine. Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks, I guess.


    OK, that's my take, thus far. Zeca & Nano, my South American amigos--welcome to the Eurodisco He-Man Sissy-Disco Music Hater's Club!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    "Have A Cigar" - Rosebud....let's take a line from a Pink Floyd song, sing it over and over (badly), then back it with annoying crap music.
    "A'int No Stopping Us Now" - McFadden & Whitehead....overrated crap, annoying as hell because it was overplayed. Liked the Charanga '76 version, though.
    "Ring My Bell" - Anita Ward....Look up the word "YUCK" in the dictionary, there should be a picture of this record
    "Did You Ever See Your Lovely Starship (Dancing) - Parlet.....geez, just look at the title! The song is even stupider!
    "Celebrate" - Kool & The Gang.....the death-knell for Kool & The Gang
    "Before I Let Go" - Frankie Beverley and Maze...Before I let go with an Uzi and a grenade launcher! Great call, Hustlebaby. Everytime you go to any African-American wedding or function here in NY, some idiot plays this or....
    "Over Like A Fat Rat" - Fonda Raye.....I liked her singing lead on "Deputy Of Love", but this song needs rodenticide (applied liberally).
    "PopMuzik" - M....the M is for Moron!


    More recently, I have always despised that stupid "Wild, Wild West" song....how that ever made it onto dance radio in NY is beyond me. "Barbie Girl" by Aqua makes me want to kill. Thankfully, Lou Bega used up his 15 minutes in 10 seconds with "Mambo".
    I'll think of some others that raise my blood pressure.

    Hi MARKY,
    great post you've made, very clever. I agree with you -for me, EURODISCO lacks some soulful quality. But, as you said "different strokes..."

    Don't worry, friends, I'll not start a campaign against EURODISCO here on this forum.

    HUSTLE mentioned some songs that I really like - I"M COMING OUT, for instance. It's a great song, with a MONSTER groove and superb vocals by LA ROSS - in fact, this track is my favorite from the DIANA album (which I love, it's one of the greatest CHIC albums of all-time). FOUND A CURE, BEST OF MY LOVE, AIN'T NO STOPPING US NOW are among my favorite dance tracks. These are soulful disco tracks.

    In my humble opinion, I GOT MY MIND MADE UP by INSTANT FUNK is a brilliant record.

    Well, MARKY and NANO, let's protect ourselves, 'cause there's a storm coming...

    Peace for all, even for CERRONE

    Here's my list:

    1.) Is It All Over My Face?---Loose Joints--It's not on my face or my hair but it should be flushed down the toilet!!
    2.) Din Daa Daa---Trommeltranz---what a waste of vinyl.
    3.)Disco Circus---Martin Circus
    4.)Boogie Nights/Groove Line---Heatwave
    5.)Rhythms of the World---Van McCoy
    6.)Flash Light---Parliament

    That's it for now. I may add to this list.

    Hey, are you picking on my dream buddy Paul Parker?

    You forgot Loverde "Diehard Lover". Was this big in S.F.?

    Hi everybody! I like it when I get this kind of reponse to one of my messages. I agree with most of the responses; you got a lot of songs that are absolutely horrible. However, we all missed the ALL-TIME worst song ever, the mother of all bad dance songs. I want to start a motion so that the record company burns the master tapes and asks anybody who owns this CD to please burn it. Asking the singers to commit suicide would probably be a good safety measure too...

    Drum roll please: TRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAA!!!!

    The number one, all time worst, most dreadful dance song is: Macarena!!!!!!

    Do we all agree???

    I've seen the video clip of Macarena and the guys singing it look like business men from Sony.

    My feelings exactly. Funny how a low-budget spanish cover of this track (and one that nobody took seriously at the time) seems so much more refreshing today...

    "Ring My Bell" - Anita Ward....Look up the word "YUCK" in the dictionary, there should be a picture of this record
    GACK! How could I have possibly omitted this utterly inane track!! And to make matters worse, it's one you can't escape... it's on every disco compilation out there. And any time you go to some co-worker's wedding (you know, the kind of person you don't actually know all that well, but would feel guilty about refusing the invite), this is on the playlist, usually right after "The Lady In Red". UGH.

    Which brings me to another song that I can't stand -- mercifully, it was only and underground hit -- "Que Tal America" by Two Man Sound. "SAY WHAAAAAAT?"... how utterly retarded...

    Do we all agree???
    Hmmmm... it's a tough call between that and Barbie Girl. Barbie Girl is more singularly annoying, but Macarena is more omnipresent.

    To hear once, Barbie Girl is way more annoying. To hear a thousand times, well... probably Macarena.

    But neither of these tracks annoy me -- and make no mistake, they do annoy me!! -- nearly as much as my previously mentioned Celine Dion track.

    I would sooner take a PHD in Macarenology, or listen to a thousand cell phones with Barbie Girl ringtones go off than have to go through the nightmare of "Unison" again.

    Welcome Back Boodikka! Nice to hear from ya and I hope you are back for good.

    The reason why I hate "BEST OF MY LOVE" is because back in the day, it was played too damn much. Overall I didn't think it was so great.

    Boodikka reminded of another song to hate "RING MY BELL" YUCK YUCK YUCK!!

    Someone listed "DISCO CIRCUS" by MARTIN CIRCUS as a hated song and I LOVE that song!

    I know that Marky isn't too crazy about eurodisco but I see he has fellow eurodisco haters. Okay it may not be soulful like Barry White, Crown Heights Affair, MFSB etc...BUT its so beautiful to the ears. As far as the music "not good to dance to", I have to disagree. If I'm at a party or in my house and I hear:
    A)Supernature/Love In C-Minor - Cerrone
    B)Cocomotion/Lust - El Coco
    C)From Here To Eternity/The Chase/Utopia - Giorgio Moroder
    D)Love Attack - Ferrara
    E)Hills Of Katmandu - Tantra
    F)Remember - Gino Soccio (Canadian)
    G)Brazil - The Ritchie Family
    H)Spring Rain - Silvetti
    you better believe that I'm getting up! There is no way I can stay seated with those songs playing. But like Marky said different strokes for different folks!

    One song that I HATED back in the day but I LOVE now is "LOWDOWN" by BOZ SCAGGS. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!!

    compositions, if other artists are covering
    it...I cannot stand the voices).
    -BONEY M."Rivers Of Babylon" and "Brown
    Girl In The Ring"
    -BRITNEY SPEARS, ENIMEN, MARIAH CAREY, CELINE

    coverversions?), "True Blue" ...
    I think that´s enough is enough for now...

    Celebration by Kool and the........
    and the pseudo Disco sound by the Bee Gees; any respectable DJ's from the 70's would have never played any BG "Disco" song---now it's a different story.

    ...My dear friend BLAXMAN knows that I don't like CERRONE's music. Ok, I know you all love his records, etc., but his music says nothing to me, I'm sorry. BTW, the cover of CERRONE's SUPERNATURE is the ugliest LP cover I saw in my entire life! (BLAXMAN will kick me after reading this, believe me!)
    ....
    Zeca, you're right!! You had been kicked (virtually) by me!!
    Everybody here knows, I dig funk and disco-funk songs. Cerrone is one of few eurodisco artist that I dig!!! Anyway, that LP cover is awfull!!! No comments.
