What is favorite song with clients that you personally hate ?

[musicinmotiondi]

I hate Macarena.

Also Craig David and of course Will Young

[BeerFunk]

So kind of like, songs you have to play, but hate doing it?

Probably most of the newer 'R&B' stuff that the younger crowds ask for, like 'My Humps' and even 'Don't Cha' :mad: :thumbs_do

Chris De Burgh "Lady In Red", Jennifer Rush "The Power of Love", Stevie Wonder "I just called to say I love You", Celine Dion "My heart will go on and on and on and on"

[DMX Will]

Can you proove that? lol I imagine the Cha Cha Slide whilst driving along (and doing the actions) would be quite amusing

[Shaun]

I agree with everything mentioned so far.

Add to the list.....

Anything by Abba
YMCA
Simply the best
I will survive.

[A1DL]

[paull]

[dj steady]

Sandy Thom - I wish i was a punk rocker.......pants...

[funkymike]

Anything by the verve, well too depressing, no hang on anything slow and boring and dreary.

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Sandy Thom - I wish i was a punk rocker.......pants...

Stupid lyrics too.

When was the last time you saw a punk with flowers in their hair?? :teeth:

[dj_ags]

I personally hate the Motown genre of music, but i don't have a say in what my dad plays...unfortunately :teeth:

But what the customer wants, the customer will get...well, within reason anyway :teeth:

[Corabar Steve]

I personally hate the Motown genre of music
MOTOWN IS A RECORD LABEL NOT A GENRE
Do you mean Soul by any chance.

Without wishing to be picky the thread title is " What is favorite song with clients that you personally hate ? " & a lot of you have just gone for stuff you don't like regardless of if it's popular with your punters or not.

[Corabar Steve]

Or maybe not :teeth:
Ok then Will :) Here is my list. Some have already been mentioned so i'll put some alternatives in.

60's - Supremes – You can’t hurry love

[BeerFunk]

Some good (or should that be bad?) choices there - particularly Sandi Thom and Lonestar. I'm glad that others recognise that these are just plain bad songs! :)

[Discodaz]

I can't stand Crazy In Love by Beyonce, but it has been requested so much lately.

Aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhhh! Put that thang away!

[soundtracker]

On the basis this is about the tenth time we've done this one in 12 months- probably not!!!

I get you loud and clear Steve :teeth:

I don't actually mind some soul songs, like the one i mentioned in a previous thread. Some are actually quite catchy..but that doesn't help if you have to listen to Capital Gold FM 6 hours a day at work :mad:

The Soul Banana set is a very catchy list, and always goes down a storm at a party. I personally like the songs on there but i reckon i might have to start to broaden my music scope, and not be prejudice against music other than my own!

Anyway, now i've added my 2p, i'll go with Pete in asking for the thread to get back on topic :beer: :teeth:

[Corabar Steve]

:teeth: :teeth: :teeth:

[theoloyla]

Sandy Thom - I wish i was a punk rocker.......pants...
YES!! When is the last time you saw a punk with flowers in their hair. The lyrics are complete nonsense.

[theoloyla]

Oh Dear. Ive just read the rest of the thread and that's already been pointed out! But the lyrics are still baloney.

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Keep up Theo!

[musicinmotiondi]

Lots of songs have silly lyrics though

Madness - Baggy Trousers (Pulling hair and eating dirt) for example

[soundtracker]

But pulling hair and eating dirt is what kids do! Punk rockers didn't wear flowers in their hair!

[DMX Will]

But pulling hair and eating dirt is what kids do! Punk rockers didn't wear flowers in their hair!

LOL, I wonder who made the sandi thom lyrics up :S, they clearly were not punk

[dj steady]

glad to see i'm not the only one who thinks Sandy Thom is pants... :omg:

[Corabar Steve]

Punk rockers didn't wear flowers in their hair!
She is actually talking about 2 eras

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In '77 and '69 revolution was in the air
I was born too late and to a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair '77 being the punk rocker part, flowers in my hair being the '69 part refering to hippies. Quite simple if you actually listen to the lyrics.

It is a pants song though

[+Scooby+]

I HATE

Abba Dancing - Queen, I have played it a zillion times and I still smile :teeth:

[+Scooby+]

YES!! When is the last time you saw a punk with flowers in their hair. The lyrics are complete nonsense.

Bring back Jefferson Airplane :omg:

[Nathan Fleming]

I also hate most of the bread and butter songs we have to play but this is more the kind of hate you build up for a song when you have heard it a million times.

Like when Brian Adams - Everything I do, was at number one and by then end everyone was sick of it.

Anything I really hate I just refuse to play.

Perhaps I am rare in this but a song has to go through my sensorship before it gets played.

i.e. I have to at least like the song before I will play it.

Where I would also like to take that stance I believe if the mood and crowd are right you must play to the floor, not your own personal liking. If I had to approve of every record I played then it would kill half my set.

I find that a very strange statement to make!

Surely it's about what the client wants, not what you are willing to play?

Some tunes IMO aren't suitable, footy songs, sweary songs etc, but I really can't see how you can justify that statement? (Although I'm sure you're going to :) )

[MercuryDisco]

I dont really mind much, have a liking for Motown, but some of the chart R&B does my head in, for example i dislike that Shakira - Hips dont lie. Personally i think its crap but obviously other people dont, as its number one in the chart i believe. .

But the "Party Cheese" doesnt really get old with me!:omg: :teeth:

[Corabar Steve]

i dislike that Shakira - Hips dont lie. Personally i think its crap but obviously other people dont, as its number one in the chart i believe.
I just think it sounds like she's swallowed Kermit (mind I also think Kermit sang lead vocal on Canned Heat's "On the road again", listen to it & tell me he isn't singing it)

I also have an intense dislike of Dancing queen

[Nathan Fleming]

Darren

It's not as bad as it sounds I am kinda refering to stuff that is majorly naf, like the birdie song and things along that line.

But that said of course I would play that song if it was a request from a bride and groom and they were dead set on me having to play it.

The customer is always right after all.

(Are we talking about Kermit again? :teeth: ) I think that one goes for us all

[dj steady]

the crazy frog

Who is picking on the Crazy Frog........He's a musical marvel.......great hits like "Axel F"....."Popcorn"......."Can't touch this"... and most recent "We are the champions" songs you can ding along to.......better than Busted's attempt at "Don't stop me now"....... Long live the CRAZY FROG....!!!!!! :omg:

Are you sure it's the frog that's been on that strong ale pictured? :omg: :teeth:

[soundtracker]

Think you'll find "Don't stop me now" was McFly!!

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Think you'll find "Don't stop me now" was McFly!!

Pah, kids of today know nothing :teeth:

[soundtracker]

still crap though!

[theoloyla]

Absolutely! It just goes to show how good Queen were.

[Have a disco]

Queen - Another One Bites the Dust (CG & SS Mix)

Even they are getting remixed now Just NO Respect LOL

[Corabar Entertainment]

Think you'll find "Don't stop me now" was McFly!!Busted/McFly... same thing, isn't it? :teeth: :D

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Busted/McFly... same thing, isn't it? :teeth: :D

Maybe for you old folk.... :teeth: :rose:

Why haven't we got a decent big rasberry smilie? :sad:

We had this conversation a few weeks ago - I was looking for one too!

[Corabar Steve]

McFly is Busted, the sequel :teeth:

[BeerFunk]

I think the McFly cover of Don't Stop Me Now is pretty good. They are seen as a manufactured pop band (I'm not sure if they are or not, don't care to find out :)), but the cover itself is well done in my opinion :thumbs_up

[DMX Will]

Yeah I agree, it could have been alot worse. Likewise with the We Will Rock You cover by Five. That wasn't as great, and slightly killing of the original, but could, again have been alot worse.

How do you 'slightly kill' then? ;)

I think there is more room for improvement/variation in a 'We Will Rock You' cover, than a 'Don't Stop Me Now' cover. I think the original 'We Will Rock You' sounds a little flat, and has the potential to inject heaps more energy into it (such as 5ive did, as you say :D)

[DMX Will]

How do you 'slightly kill' then? ;)

Maybe knocked it out cold for a few hours then :teeth:

[Corabar Steve]

But Brian May & Roger Taylor played on it!

Of course McFly are manufactured, they were designed as sucessors to Busted, in the same way as Westlife / Boyzone.

[dj steady]

sorry i mean't Mc Fly same sad sound as Busted though........We will rock you with Five is a good cover and thats coming from a life long Queen fan...

[Corabar Steve]

But can it truly be considered a cover if some of the original artists played on it?
