I was listening to 70's on 7 (sirius) when Hot Butter's Popcorn (1973)came on,so it made me wonder this question. This is for both past and present DJ's.   |

I have got to say the most annoying for me was probably the 1000th time I played "DON'T WORRY BE HAPPY" by Bobby McFerrin in the late '80's, gawd I hated that song!!!! BTW, that "Popcorn" song was developed, distributed, promoted and produced by Bill Jerome, he lives in Atlanta now, he got a gold record for it, and resurfaced with a "modernized" version of it in 2000.

"Grandma Got Ran Over By a Reindeer".
That song still turns my stomach way worse than any of the disco I played in the '70s, the stuff I played at Q93 in the '80s or the country I played when I didn't like country.
I would rather play Chinese records backwards than that song.

Frank Zappa - Valley Girl. 1982 on the then-WPRG (now KLSU).
Song was OK, with FZ having enough outre' cred for a college audience. One day, though, I had enough of the lunkhead requests for the song -- always right after we had just played it. The next morning I locked myself in the studio and played it back-to-back for two hours.
Don't think the station ever played it again.

Barbara Streisand's version of Jingle Bells. That record made me want to stab a pencil into my eardrums.

Gotta agree with the John Travolta "Let Her In,"...downright Gawd awful. Though you gotta rate the bubble gum butt nuggets of the 70's as well such as Paper Lace "Night Chicago Died," First Class "Beach Baby," or Blue Swede's version of "Hooked on a Feeling." But then there's Henry Gross' "Shannon," Eric Carmen's "All By Myself," Morris Albert's "Feelings," and Gilbert O'Sullivan's infatuation with a child "Clair"...
Can't peg any one toilet treasure down...

Fun thread.
Definitely have to go with "Grandma Got Run Over," but also with another bad Holiday song we played in West Texas, "Dear Mr. Jesus."
And since most of my radio career has been in country, "Achy Breaky Heart" would top the annoying chart. "Jukebox Junkie" is a close second.

I would have said "The Streak" by Ray Stevens, had I not been in the john the majority of times I played it. My vote goes to "Seasons in the Sun" by Terry Jacks.
