re: What is absolutely the song you hate the most?

Sugar Sugar by the Archies and Drop it like it’s Hot by Snoop were the first two that came to mind for me

Springstien.

Hollaback Girl.

dont say that i hate it, but back in the Brothers Gibb post-Saturday Night Fever heyday, when they were absolutely dominating the pop music charts, i was working parttime as a DJ at a top 40 station

that June less talented kid brother Andy released a song called “An Everlasting Love” which began climbing predictably and depressingly up the charts

i vowed never to listen to it, ever, for the rest of my life - a rather daunting task considering my job and its popularity at the time

so whenever it came up in the rotation, i would start it and immediately take off my headphones and turn off the speakers in the booth

i would wait until i could see it was reaching the last few seconds before the fadeout and start the next record, so i only ever heard the first 2-3 seconds of the intro and the last 5-10 seconds of the end

i also took pains to avoid it whenever i heard it in public, even ti the point of walking out of a restaurant in the middle of a meal when i recognized the intro chords

almost 50 years later i couldn’t tell you a thing about it other than the intro

here it is if you want to listen to it (i won’t):
