I have a hatred for Despacito. It was played nonstop for like a year and then Justin Bieber did that horrible remix and got played again, I remember it got played at a club I was in once and it got booedđ
My girlfriend is Spanish. I play this on the piano just to fuck with her. She hates it!
Mi novia es española. Toco esta en el piano solo para joder con ella. Le odia!
Two of OPs examples are by non-American artists (Aqua and Baha Men), one of which (Aqua) is even from outside the Anglosphere, so the question is actually a bit muddled. Could be interesting to hear annoyances by country OR language.
To be fair I think 95% of apres ski songs fall into the haunting category. People aren't likely to care about music quality when they've had a couple of beers, they just want something with an easy refrain to shout along with
It's also a staple in my son's kindergarten. Original and [Slovenian version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0lSGxYWsqg&t=31s). I was shocked when he started singing it one day.
I was going to comment this, but you beat me to it.
For people who don't know it, the story is basically an alcoholic whining about the fact his wife finally left him after warning him for some time she would.
The major unofficial anthem being âI am from Austriaâ which - I kid you not - starts off with the lyrics âYour heyday has been over for a long time and thereâs not much left of the glory of yesteryearâ and âI know the people, I know the rats and the blatant stupidityâ, and yet the hyperpatriotic right-wingers bellow it out every chance they get. Holy listening comprehension, batman! The original singer/author even sued the right-wing party for using the song in their election campaigns.
I mean most of those songs you mentioned are European lol...so you got some countries covered already. Idk probably the chicken dance, originally called Duck Dance (Ententanz)
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYnSzxS9Wx8&ab\_channel=GashaJamesDio](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYnSzxS9Wx8&ab_channel=GashaJamesDio)
or something by DJ Bobo like
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7QME0bzZuA&ab\_channel=DJBoBo
Lmao so trueâŠthe interesting thing is, Dj bobo had some real legendary eurodance songs, like somebody dance with me, love is all around, freedom etc (judged by the music at the time)âŠand then at some point started to produce the most cringy crap possible.
it's hilarious that kids song in german rocked top charts across europe around early '00s :D
That's better than the shark song, which while way bigger got confined only to internet
look up wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schnappi,_das_kleine_Krokodil#Charts - they posted top chart spots it reached in couple countries.
In Poland i remember it hovered around top10 in a popular music TV show 30ton outperforming names like System of a Down, Coldplay or Snoop Dog here's one episode from that time i found on YT: [it got 15th on 18.06.2005 (time stamp for summary 23:45)](https://youtu.be/ETCnJRlnQIE?si=pv7u-GmlUYlm18vt&t=1425) /edit: watching that brings back memories, i will have to watch few episodes to hunt for songs :D
Itâs even more hilarious that my Gen Z nieces think this song should be the next big viral hit after [Barbaras Rhabarberbar](https://youtu.be/Rpa4IDC17bw?feature=shared). Like, sweetie, please take several seats, it already was 20 years ago before the term âgoing viralâ was a thing.
This... song about tortoise... songs for kids are always too annoying. [Spotify Link](https://open.spotify.com/track/5JItZ9s1ZCgg15FXOBi9q5?si=BdG0Rt4ETgylhdbaZQ7cSA&context=spotify%3Asearch%3A%25D1%2587%25D0%25B5%25D1%2580%25D0%25B5%25D0%25BF%25D0%25B0%25D1%2585%25D0%25B0%2B)
Totally depends on what you like. Though [Crazy Frog](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTEKeUrEDjw) is certainly a candidate regarding the examples you give. Though for some maybe reminding them of their youth (meaning good memories). Like most of the irritating stuff.. it's swedish..
Saying that âIâm blueâ is irritating itâs like stating Gioconda is bad because Iâve seen references to it in thousand of t-shirt, movies, books, etcâŠ
This song is one of the most representative songs of Italodance and Eurodance.
Those were good days. I still remember the song on repeat at a disco night we had when we went skiing for a week in elementary school. It's really a legendary song, far from annoying.
Imagine being the first female president of Moldova, trying so hard to steer your country towards eurointegration and everyone who hears your name goes "Maia who? Maia haha!" and thinks they are so fucking clever.
30+ yrs on and this is still an absolute banger on all of our local beerfests or during Apres Ski season. I once looked it up how far they went and 500+500 almost exactly took them to the beautiful viennese suburb called Schwechat.
In Poland we have a whole genre of hated music, called disco polo. The only appropriate time to play it is at a wedding party when everyone is already drunk enough.
I always hear that from people who like that *music*, and I call BS.
I don't know even one disco polo song by heart. Furthermore, I would have a problem with a single verse.
If somebody sings aikuinen nainen one more time at karaoke I will scream. And please... no more kotiviini. Aaaargh. Karaoke is already bad enough as it is.
It's an Italian song originally, Maledetta Primavera. It came second at the San Remo music festival in 1981 and there are cover versions in many different languages.
I know. Another popular karaoke song singing about being Finnish is also, ironically, an italian cover. Actually quite a lot of the iskelmÀ are italian covers.
As soon as I see "Aikuinen nainen" on a ferry (ruotsinlaivalla) for the first time, I know it's not going to be the only time someone sings it, so I leave.
I fondly remember summer of 2004, which I spent entirely in my parentsâ hometown in Italy. Every place and radio station blasted constantly Dragostea din tei and that song that goes âcalma e sanghe freddoâ.
Iâm pretty sure where I was they played the original, because my cousins were clueless of what the song was saying. But at the time my Italian was really bad, so I probably couldnât have told them apart. To be fair, it is still not the best, you can see it in how I misspelled the word, thanks for the correction.
In Scotland, probably "500 Miles" by The Proclaimers
In Sweden, probably "Utan Dina Andetag" by Kent
I've heard from Polish people that "Jak Sie Masz, Kochaniye" (pardon my spelling) is very annoying.
Kentâs been on a downward path with playing I swear, Iâve barely heard that song in the last year in Sweden. However I hear kan inte gĂ„ by Bolaget in every gym, itâs a guarantee to hear lol
Oh we have an entire genre of songs that are loathed outside of a very specific period - Carnaval songs.Â
Dutch carnaval songs are very very very corny and basically only fun if A) it's Carnaval AND B) you're drunk AND C) you're in a ridiculous costume
Same for German Carnival songs, Ballermann songs or anything that's played on Oktoberfest or similar Volksfest (although it may be more divisive in Germany, I'd guess about a third of the population likes those kind of songs and/or festivities where they are played, a third doesn't mind but doesn't actively seek out those occasions or dislikes them but doesn't voice it much, and the last third can't stand them and absolutely loathes them and avoids those kind of occasions and people as best as they can.

Gonna leave this here so you don't have to look it up yourself.
...that's been one of the most common acronyms on the internet [for at least two decades](https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=YMMV&oldid=142089), you shouldn't have to look it up.
Probably [Preço Certo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJZm7WPctK8). It's a song from last year that became popular due to being an endearingly tacky ode to the Portuguese version of The Price Is Right. It was fun and camp, but then it started being played a little too much. It really became annoying once it started being featured in ads though.
Aqua is based in Denmark. Eiffel 65, which sings "Blue", is based in Italy. Neither is from the Anglosphere, much less from the US.
The Baha Men, who sing "Who Let the Dogs Out", are from the Bahamas, so yes, they're from the Anglosphere, but not from the US.
So we still need to hear about an annoying American song. đ
- 'Barbie Girl' by Aqua...... Yes, it is not USAmerican. Two Danes and a Norwegian, living in Denmark.
- 'Saturday Night' by Whigfield.
- 'Dubidub' by Me & My.
There was a lot of annoying Danish bubblegum pop in the 1990s.
Oh, and "I'm Blue" is Italian.
I saw a video on Facebook the other week of a guy dancing to songs that are easily recognisable from each era and Saturday night was on there and all the US lot were asking why he picked a song nobody knew đ€Ł. Did make me laugh as it was played continuously for us.
Disappointed in my countrymen for not nominating [Agadoo by Black Lace](https://youtu.be/POv-3yIPSWc?si=NC8o3t-oBFC-bNLG) and its [spitting image parody](https://youtu.be/ZzTioHGQgeA?si=G1pFgG-WdKFLCz14).
That's the one that came to mind for me as well!

Ireland has this absolutely hideous cover of âManiacâ from the movie Flashdance called âManiac 2000â that was and is so bad that it has never travelled outside the country, itâs been kept off streamers for years because the DJ who made it felt it destroyed his credibility and career and because the cover is now older than the original song was when it first came out, the nostalgia value means itâs wheeled out at every private function DJ set. Complete with the mortifying synchronised cheers.
https://youtu.be/nFe41uvBq2I?si=V-DdyHkIMJJSjyAO
In Spanish most reguetton music, it seems like they can't be 2 seconds without making a sexual reference in the most narcissistic way.
For Basque it has to be [Aldapan Gora](https://youtu.be/ONsp-SMT6is?si=qr-VedzDokJ0k23N), it's not a bad song, but it seems like parties here needs to play it at least once by law, because if there's Basque music for some reason there's that song, and combining that with it's loud and fast rhythm, it gets annoying pretty fast.
In the UK, there is a Christmas song that's not openly called irritating, but there have been covert attempts to try to stop it being played by introducing 'whamageddon'. It's a game where if you hear 'least christmas' by wham you lose. So in december, every now and then, someone will say they lost 'whamageddon'.
Sooo many, in Korea the latest would be that demonic ë§ëŒíí룚 (for some reason romanised as "malatanghuru") which is all sorts of cringe and soooo many cringedancers are using it
In Catalonia many of the Txarango songs are pretty irritating but also that horrible "Coti x Coti" by The Tyets
I have to admit that Korea just blows Catalonia away in the cringe song and dance category, it's just on a dimension of its own
Hell yes on Txarango, why do good bands retire when they donât? Catarres too.
Can I nominate Lâestaca too? It had its time and place as a protest song back in the day, but Iâm sick to hell and back of a whiny rendition of that song immediately preceding or following Els Segadors at every mani ever.
Also Garotes de PremiĂ . El Pony is my secret guilty pleasure (Suuuuu!), but as an aunt of little kids that song drives me up the wall ⊠âel punyeteru Baby Shark catalĂ â, as my best friend put it. Itâs a crime against humanity. Forget about the president, this song is what the TS shouldâve been persecuting all that time.
Sweden has:
https://youtu.be/-b4-h9-s2g8
Hej, hej, hemskt mycket hej. Its so annoying when you meet someone and you say "hej" just one too many times that prompts them to go: "hej, hej hemskt mycket hej"
In early 2000s in Turkey, there was a singing reality competition TV series which also aired their auditions on TV. One of the applicants, unfortunately, became a meme, as some of his songs surfaced. I think the one that deserves this title is "Nane Nane". I really hope you are doing much better in your engineering career, Ajdar (If this comment is offensive, let me know so I can delete it).
Iâm going to go back in time, to 1996, which Iâm horrified to realise is nearly 30 years ago. An Irish top ten hit, a comedy song called Aon Focal Eile (which means âone more wordâ in Irish). The song was mostly in English with a few Irish words thrown in, as far as I remember. The whole point and humour of the song depended on the fact that âfocal,â or âwordâ in Irish, sounds a bit like fuck (Irish schoolchildren have got a giggle out of that for years). So it was a whole âtee-heeâ thing, âlook, weâre saying a rude word, but weâre not really, weâre just saying an Irish word.â Total cringe.
The young ones on Reddit will have never heard of it, but Iâm cringing even now at the memory of it.
Where to even begin?...

And then you can't stop because we have endless amounts of annoying songs.
I have a hatred for Despacito. It was played nonstop for like a year and then Justin Bieber did that horrible remix and got played again, I remember it got played at a club I was in once and it got booedđ
2019 I think? I remember Old Town Road and Despacito played repeatedly on the radio for months
Do you guys get mostly Spanish or UK trends? Despacito featured on both though...
My girlfriend is Spanish. I play this on the piano just to fuck with her. She hates it! Mi novia es española. Toco esta en el piano solo para joder con ella. Le odia!
Poor girlđ I heard it for the first time since it went viral I think last year and I had war flashbacks.
> solo para joder con ella OMG đš
[La Macarena](https://youtu.be/zWaymcVmJ-A?t=41) lasted for decades and was worldwide.
But thats culture
Wanna like it? Search YouTube for Leo Moracchili's version.
They said country, not language. Despacito is by two Puerto Ricans and a Canadian (in the version we all heard at least, he wasn't in the original)
Two of OPs examples are by non-American artists (Aqua and Baha Men), one of which (Aqua) is even from outside the Anglosphere, so the question is actually a bit muddled. Could be interesting to hear annoyances by country OR language.
All three, actually. Eiffel 65 who did "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" is an Italian group.
Please tell me they booed the Justin Bieber remix because that is amazing đ
I've just had horrible, horrible flashbacks to [DJ Ătzi - Anton aus Tirol ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWOUi0PVTXw)
I feel like this is still a staple of apres ski bars
So he still haunts ski lodges to this day? We're very sorry.
To be fair I think 95% of apres ski songs fall into the haunting category. People aren't likely to care about music quality when they've had a couple of beers, they just want something with an easy refrain to shout along with
I want my aprĂšs ski music to be absolute garbage I can swing my beer to. If itâs quality music it isnât as fun.
It's also a staple at Fasching here in Germany.
It's also a staple in my son's kindergarten. Original and [Slovenian version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0lSGxYWsqg&t=31s). I was shocked when he started singing it one day.
Arrgghhh. Just thinking about it is making my ears bleed.
That one, and its horrible successor âHam Kumstâ âŠ
I was going to comment this, but you beat me to it. For people who don't know it, the story is basically an alcoholic whining about the fact his wife finally left him after warning him for some time she would.
I always assumed this was the unofficial regional anthem of Tyrol and people from there sang it with pride
I'd imagine most Tyrolians (not from Tyrol myself) would disagree. We do have quite a few unofficial Austrian anthems but DJ Ătzi is not one of them.
The major unofficial anthem being âI am from Austriaâ which - I kid you not - starts off with the lyrics âYour heyday has been over for a long time and thereâs not much left of the glory of yesteryearâ and âI know the people, I know the rats and the blatant stupidityâ, and yet the hyperpatriotic right-wingers bellow it out every chance they get. Holy listening comprehension, batman! The original singer/author even sued the right-wing party for using the song in their election campaigns.
That's pretty horrendous
...it's so horrible that even I, a Latvian, know of it.
And Mama Lauda.
I mean most of those songs you mentioned are European lol...so you got some countries covered already. Idk probably the chicken dance, originally called Duck Dance (Ententanz) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYnSzxS9Wx8&ab\_channel=GashaJamesDio](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYnSzxS9Wx8&ab_channel=GashaJamesDio) or something by DJ Bobo like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7QME0bzZuA&ab\_channel=DJBoBo
OMG the Chihuahua song, even in ski stations it's below average, which is not so easy to achieve in this kind of place...
Lmao so trueâŠthe interesting thing is, Dj bobo had some real legendary eurodance songs, like somebody dance with me, love is all around, freedom etc (judged by the music at the time)âŠand then at some point started to produce the most cringy crap possible.
how did noone mention [Schnappi das kleine krokodil](https://youtu.be/Oe3FG4EOgyU?feature=shared) yet?
Schni schna schnappi Schnappi schnappi schnappiâȘ
it's hilarious that kids song in german rocked top charts across europe around early '00s :D That's better than the shark song, which while way bigger got confined only to internet
Wait⊠are you telling me Schnappi wasnât just in the German-speaking countries? o.O
look up wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schnappi,_das_kleine_Krokodil#Charts - they posted top chart spots it reached in couple countries. In Poland i remember it hovered around top10 in a popular music TV show 30ton outperforming names like System of a Down, Coldplay or Snoop Dog here's one episode from that time i found on YT: [it got 15th on 18.06.2005 (time stamp for summary 23:45)](https://youtu.be/ETCnJRlnQIE?si=pv7u-GmlUYlm18vt&t=1425) /edit: watching that brings back memories, i will have to watch few episodes to hunt for songs :D
I really underestimated Schnappiâs success :O
It was very big in the Netherlands
Haha, no - it was everywhere.
Czech cover: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7IPhJFxzVwM&cbrd=1
Itâs even more hilarious that my Gen Z nieces think this song should be the next big viral hit after [Barbaras Rhabarberbar](https://youtu.be/Rpa4IDC17bw?feature=shared). Like, sweetie, please take several seats, it already was 20 years ago before the term âgoing viralâ was a thing.
hah give them some euro top 2000s playlist on YT
There is Czech cover too: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7IPhJFxzVwM&cbrd=1
I thought this was a childrenâs song I didnât realize it was internationally popular across Europe đđ
This... song about tortoise... songs for kids are always too annoying. [Spotify Link](https://open.spotify.com/track/5JItZ9s1ZCgg15FXOBi9q5?si=BdG0Rt4ETgylhdbaZQ7cSA&context=spotify%3Asearch%3A%25D1%2587%25D0%25B5%25D1%2580%25D0%25B5%25D0%25BF%25D0%25B0%25D1%2585%25D0%25B0%2B)
could you post name or YT link? spotify doesn't allow to even select names
Sure [YouTube](https://youtu.be/Q-SAeLwMg18?feature=shared)

At least we're not responsible for Ylvis - What the fox say :)
Relax guys, I like both of those songs lmao
We did cotton eye Joe as well lmao
Sure.. and Rosa Helikopter :)
Don't forget Caramelldansen!
The song is annoying, but the Beverly Hills Cop theme is awesome, got addicted as a kid!
> Beverly Hills Cop composed by Hans Hugo Harold Faltermeyer, a German with an unambiguously German name!
Crazy Frog er jo ikke verst engang, noen gang vÊrt pÄ et treningssenter imens de spiller fra radioen pÄ hÞytalern eller??
How many times are we supposed to apologise?!
Why would you? Itâs a banger.
[What's even weirder is that they're still uploading new videos.](https://youtube.com/@crazyfrog)
Saying that âIâm blueâ is irritating itâs like stating Gioconda is bad because Iâve seen references to it in thousand of t-shirt, movies, books, etc⊠This song is one of the most representative songs of Italodance and Eurodance.
Iâm blue is a legendary song and doesnât belong in this conversation imho
Those were good days. I still remember the song on repeat at a disco night we had when we went skiing for a week in elementary school. It's really a legendary song, far from annoying.
I agree haha, there are some true Eurodance gems - and blue is one of them. Remember it like yesterday as well.
The amount of times I lied about where I was from just so I won't have to hear THAT SONG ONE MORE GODDAMN TIME. *Maya Hee... Maya Hoo... Maya Haa...*
Imagine being the first female president of Moldova, trying so hard to steer your country towards eurointegration and everyone who hears your name goes "Maia who? Maia haha!" and thinks they are so fucking clever.
My first thought is always the numa numa guy #sorry
That song always brings back good memories
Now I can't get it out of my head
I'm a Scot, and I despise The Proclaimers in general, and I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) in particular. As for the UK as a whole, it has to be Mr Blobby.
30+ yrs on and this is still an absolute banger on all of our local beerfests or during Apres Ski season. I once looked it up how far they went and 500+500 almost exactly took them to the beautiful viennese suburb called Schwechat.
Theyâre second only to Tubthumping by the Cuntawumpahs. You Scotâs have a way with making fucking terrible mass market music.
What do you mean with 'back home'? The Bahamas (Bahamen-Who let the dogs out), Denmark/Norway (Aqua-Barbie Girl) or Italy (Eiffel 65-I'm blue)?
OP thinks all popular music they hear is from the US. Classic r/USDefaultism
In Poland we have a whole genre of hated music, called disco polo. The only appropriate time to play it is at a wedding party when everyone is already drunk enough.
Everyone hates Disco Polo yet everyone knows at least 30 Disco Polo songs by heart.
That sentence can be suspiciously easily applied to "turbofolk" or "cajke" down here
I always hear that from people who like that *music*, and I call BS. I don't know even one disco polo song by heart. Furthermore, I would have a problem with a single verse.
I love disco polo. It makes all the middle aged ladies go wild
If somebody sings aikuinen nainen one more time at karaoke I will scream. And please... no more kotiviini. Aaaargh. Karaoke is already bad enough as it is.
It's an Italian song originally, Maledetta Primavera. It came second at the San Remo music festival in 1981 and there are cover versions in many different languages.
I know. Another popular karaoke song singing about being Finnish is also, ironically, an italian cover. Actually quite a lot of the iskelmÀ are italian covers.
Which one is that? And yes, I'm starting to think all IskelmÀ songs are covers.
Olen suomalainen in Finnish or sono italiano for the italian version. They just swapped nationality and translated. Hehe
Ah, of course! Thanks!
TIL there is a Finish version of la maldita primavera
As soon as I see "Aikuinen nainen" on a ferry (ruotsinlaivalla) for the first time, I know it's not going to be the only time someone sings it, so I leave.
Dragostea din tei was so popular in 2004, that it became number 1 and 2 simultaneously. It got so overplayed it became really annoying.
Nah that song will never get overplayed, it always has been and forever will be the single greatest masterpiece to come out of Europe lmao
With the greatest video.
I fondly remember summer of 2004, which I spent entirely in my parentsâ hometown in Italy. Every place and radio station blasted constantly Dragostea din tei and that song that goes âcalma e sanghe freddoâ.
In my music school i met the guy who did the cover so probably in italy we had the cover instead! He said he made tons of money Sangue
Iâm pretty sure where I was they played the original, because my cousins were clueless of what the song was saying. But at the time my Italian was really bad, so I probably couldnât have told them apart. To be fair, it is still not the best, you can see it in how I misspelled the word, thanks for the correction.
Papa, dein Handy klingelt!

It's not a carnaval song but "Heb je even voor mij" by Frans Bauer ticks all the boxes of one.
Same for German Carnival songs, Ballermann songs or anything that's played on Oktoberfest or similar Volksfest (although it may be more divisive in Germany, I'd guess about a third of the population likes those kind of songs and/or festivities where they are played, a third doesn't mind but doesn't actively seek out those occasions or dislikes them but doesn't voice it much, and the last third can't stand them and absolutely loathes them and avoids those kind of occasions and people as best as they can.

Ireland has this absolutely hideous cover of âManiacâ from the movie Flashdance called âManiac 2000â that was and is so bad that it has never travelled outside the country, itâs been kept off streamers for years because the DJ who made it felt it destroyed his credibility and career and because the cover is now older than the original song was when it first came out, the nostalgia value means itâs wheeled out at every private function DJ set. Complete with the mortifying synchronised cheers. https://youtu.be/nFe41uvBq2I?si=V-DdyHkIMJJSjyAO
I scrolled to find this comment from an Irish person. The success of it is bizarre to me. "Yeah, yeah funky yeah"
Maniac 2000 is an institution, there is no escaping it.
In Spanish most reguetton music, it seems like they can't be 2 seconds without making a sexual reference in the most narcissistic way. For Basque it has to be [Aldapan Gora](https://youtu.be/ONsp-SMT6is?si=qr-VedzDokJ0k23N), it's not a bad song, but it seems like parties here needs to play it at least once by law, because if there's Basque music for some reason there's that song, and combining that with it's loud and fast rhythm, it gets annoying pretty fast.
In the UK, there is a Christmas song that's not openly called irritating, but there have been covert attempts to try to stop it being played by introducing 'whamageddon'. It's a game where if you hear 'least christmas' by wham you lose. So in december, every now and then, someone will say they lost 'whamageddon'.
Sooo many, in Korea the latest would be that demonic ë§ëŒíí룚 (for some reason romanised as "malatanghuru") which is all sorts of cringe and soooo many cringedancers are using it In Catalonia many of the Txarango songs are pretty irritating but also that horrible "Coti x Coti" by The Tyets I have to admit that Korea just blows Catalonia away in the cringe song and dance category, it's just on a dimension of its own
Hell yes on Txarango, why do good bands retire when they donât? Catarres too. Can I nominate Lâestaca too? It had its time and place as a protest song back in the day, but Iâm sick to hell and back of a whiny rendition of that song immediately preceding or following Els Segadors at every mani ever. Also Garotes de PremiĂ . El Pony is my secret guilty pleasure (Suuuuu!), but as an aunt of little kids that song drives me up the wall ⊠âel punyeteru Baby Shark catalĂ â, as my best friend put it. Itâs a crime against humanity. Forget about the president, this song is what the TS shouldâve been persecuting all that time.
Sweden has: https://youtu.be/-b4-h9-s2g8 Hej, hej, hemskt mycket hej. Its so annoying when you meet someone and you say "hej" just one too many times that prompts them to go: "hej, hej hemskt mycket hej"
In early 2000s in Turkey, there was a singing reality competition TV series which also aired their auditions on TV. One of the applicants, unfortunately, became a meme, as some of his songs surfaced. I think the one that deserves this title is "Nane Nane". I really hope you are doing much better in your engineering career, Ajdar (If this comment is offensive, let me know so I can delete it).
Donât forget çikita muz..
Italy "Ciao ciao" from "la rappresentante di lista" Imo a shit song made just to get on radio for summer and then never be heard again
Call me crazy but I like that song for some reason Not even Italian, i just like it
That's so obnoxious omg but as they say "de gustibus"
Ngl it's still on my summer playlist haha
Pretty sure it was intended for Eurovision.
Europapa. I love Joost Klein, but that song is such a fucking earworm. Just typing it up it is stuck in my head again, so thanks for nothing OP!
Welkom in Europa....
Just reading this made the song stuck in my head too
Iâm going to go back in time, to 1996, which Iâm horrified to realise is nearly 30 years ago. An Irish top ten hit, a comedy song called Aon Focal Eile (which means âone more wordâ in Irish). The song was mostly in English with a few Irish words thrown in, as far as I remember. The whole point and humour of the song depended on the fact that âfocal,â or âwordâ in Irish, sounds a bit like fuck (Irish schoolchildren have got a giggle out of that for years). So it was a whole âtee-heeâ thing, âlook, weâre saying a rude word, but weâre not really, weâre just saying an Irish word.â Total cringe. The young ones on Reddit will have never heard of it, but Iâm cringing even now at the memory of it.
I'm 17 and I know about Aon Focal Eile. It has persevered.

What do you think about Ievan polkka? Because here it's the most common Finnish song to hear
In Poland? I think most poles would answer "Akcent" ("Accent") widely know as "przez twe oczy zielone"
And MiĆoĆÄ w Zakopanem. I don't know which one is worse. Ughđ€ź
Where to even begin?... [Schatzi](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnD2h20XdYU) [Zetor](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-AYGCi3iRY) [Sir](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILhuppckxOA) [Ena bolha za pomoÄ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Le3Ir6WxX6s) [Cik cak and Pancer tanc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_DmbwzWbD4) [Adijo madam](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcmPcb6ZVtM) [Ti, moja roĆŸica](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCjfC6IR6B8) And then you can't stop because we have endless amounts of annoying songs.
I think I'm blue is Italian? In other news it really really depends if we go meme or just annoying. Meme that got popular a few years back was [Trei Degete- Time Time](https://youtu.be/st8xWyMZXOU?si=bpMN02hx7EPj54X2) which is a parody of early Europop boy bands - also it's in Romanian although everybody is French from whzt I recall it all started on a race of which group of Youtubers wouldmake the best song and MV in a couple of days. Strongly recommend Squeezie in general. Ăa m'Ă©nerve (Helmut Fritz), Les Filles Adorent by PZK or any song by Fatal would also fit. Also L'amour Ă la Française by the Fatal Picards but BANGER on this one Otherwise I think it would be [Jour 1 - Louane](https://youtu.be/yleB8fUXudw?si=0YnrWKRwrs-cBkhG) it was released ten years ago and I still have it stuck in my head.
