Any of the 6 million versions of Hallelujah except the original Leonard Cohen and Jeff Buckley.

I swear wannabe pop singers see it as some sort of rite of passage but they universally murder it either by trying to replicate on of those two and coming up painfully short or embellishing it with flourishes and superfluous variations.

It doesn't make you look deep and thoughtful it just highlights what an average singer you are.

There are two songs that I will verbally abuse a movie for having on its soundtrack.

"What A Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong, and "Fly Me To The Moon" by Frank Sinatra.

If you put those songs in...anything, you're a fucking hack.

WAWW has been used both straight and ironically TO DEATH. It has been played over beautiful and horrific scenes. There's nothing you can use it to say that hasn't already been said by someone more clever than you.

FMTTM is the song completely uncreative people put in movies that have something to do with the moon. "We have an establishing shot of the moon and we need some licensed music for the soundtrack. Gee, now what's the hackiest laziest most cliched pissbabyest lack of a brain stemiest thing we could put here?" "You're not going to believe this, but I found a Sinatra song that might just be a lazy enough choice. It's already been used in all the other movies, is that lazy enough?"

Whatever coldplay song is on the radio

[–] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

I was gonna say Happy by Pharrel Williams but someone else said Sweet Caroline and I might have to change my vote. Actually it's not that terrible of a song (Sweet Caroline I mean), but hearing it played at weddings and sporting events and then they pause it so everyone can scream BUM BUM BUMMM does get to me after the 5 millionth time.

Happy birthday, there's a bunch of other traditional birthday songs passed down in other languages and cultures that are so much better than happy birthday

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 2 points 18 hours ago

Sweater weather. I already didn't like the downtempo vibe, but it got painfully overplayed back in the day. Unfortunately, I still hear it occasionally. Anything but that, please.

"What's going on" by Four Non-Blondes - what a childish nepo baby song and what a dumb fucking name for a band.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Awww I like that song

[–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 hours ago

[–] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

Waiting on the world to change is that for me.
