What song would cause you to do this to yourself ?

literally none lol
- Not even "All I Want For Christmas Is You"
  
  I love that song unironically :)
  
  It’s allowed a few plays a year before it gets grating.
  
  A classmate long ago suggested, while we were learning about WW2, replacing You with Jews.
  I can't listen to that song without that memory popping in my head. It's a bad song anyway but...

Pepper by Butthole Surfers
- Here's the album art for Electriclarryland. I made the mistake of clicking on wiki article that inspired it. Wouldn't recommend.

  Good night everyone!
- Really? Why? Too much radio play in the 90s?
  
  I'm guessing it's a reference to the album art, which is a picture of a guy with a pencil in his ears.

Shake it Off by Taylor Swift
I don't know the name of it, but the one that goes "it's all about that bass, no treble".
These were both extremely popular at the same time at a point when I was frequently going to the gym. If I spent 90 minutes at the gym, I would hear both of these songs three times. I absolutely cannot stand them. I disliked the second one from the beginning and didn't care for the first, and then I heard each of them dozens and dozens of times over just a couple of months.
- All about that bass, by Meghan Trainor. Really did get played to death in popular media.
  
  In the same vein of being played to the death: Pharrell Williams.
  
  It was so awful. A repetitive song...played over and over.
- These are the same ones for me too. Also Thunder and Believer by Imagine Dragons, and We Are Young by fun.
- You reminded me about that one Green Day song that played on the radio every ten minutes throughout my entire childhood. Boulevard of Broken Dreams. To this day I cannot listen to any Green Day song.
  
  Have you ever tried Dookie?
  
  Oh yeah. It's a shame about that song. It was a good song.

Baby shark
- What's funny is that when you hear it for the thousandth time it's like a cheat code and you become immune to it.
  
  Yep, kids made me immune to kid songs
- DO DO DO DO DO DO

Anything by fucking Imagine Dragons. More like imagine dragging myself behind my Cadillac for 6 blocks, it'd be more pleasant

The Nickelback catalog. Most of Creed's too.
- Physical cringe when I hear, "I like your pants around your feet". Gives the shivers lol.

"Somebody That I Used to Know" by Gotye.
Was played seemingly every hour back when I worked retail. Both in the store I worked in and many others. So incredibly overplayed.
2nd place would be any of Queen's absurdly overplayed songs. I don't even hear them as music anymore; they're just annoying noise.

Rap songs where the artist just blurts out random words.
- That doesn't really narrow it down.
  
  It's the one where the dude brags about being filthy rich and wearing expensive clothes, I think.
- Kool Keith?
- Boom boom pow Boom boom pow

I’m glad they pointed out what the foreign object was.

I was hoping this was a Sadam Hussein meme

Roar by Katy Perry

There's this one song I keep forgetting the name of but it was super popular in the early 2000s and it was in the radio all the time. Damn I hate that song!
- If it's alternative rock, I'd imagine it's something off this list:
  Hoobastank - The Reason.
  Puddle of Mudd - Blurry. Also, She Hates Me.
  Evanescence - Bring Me to Life.
  Trapt - Headstrong.
  Audioslave - Like a Stone (mediocre song at best. Played non fucking stop for what felt like 5 years).
  Three Days Grace - I Hate Everything About You.
  Nickelback - How You Remind Me (specifically this one, but the rest of their discography too).
  Seether - Broken.
  Creed - With Arms Wide Open.
  
  It was Modjo - Lady but damn I would also mention each and every song of your list.

Aha, I'm onto you. I won't invite any of those songs to enter my mind and rattle around in there for the rest of the day by thinking about them. Good try, though.
- Ahhhh! Curse you, some_guy! You foiled my great plan yet again. One day I will succeed and make you remember these songs! Muahahaha!!!!

Take me to church
- Yes, such a cheese-fest of a song. Can't help but jokingly sing along with it in the most obnoxious voice possible when it's on.
  
  I did the same for Gotye - Somebody that I used to know. I thought it was such a frustratingly terrible song, I couldn't help but mock it when it came on. I genuinely thought I was living in a world full of people lying when I'd be at a party and others would say they loved it. For like 2 years I was just like "you're kidding right?"
  
  I can't stand his voice in any song. I turn off my radio when he comes on.

Radio Gaga by Queen
I had to hear that fucking song, on loop, non stop, for a whole week, when it was used to test the speaker systems on the cruise ship I was working aboard. You could not even escape it in your cabin while you slept. 😬
If I heard it come on in the grocery store while looking at Lean Cuisines, it would put everyone in that store at risk.
- I used to work in a mall as a teenager/very young adult.
  Our holiday playlist consisted of 4 songs.
  One of them of was Mariah Carey’s all I want for Christmas is you.
  I heard that song every 12 minutes for 2 months. 8 hours a day, 7 days a week.
  It now actives some kind of sleeper agent programming in me. All I want for Christmas is to watch a store burn to the ground around me.
  
  Get the gun, Carter.
  
  As soon as it's November

The Minion rendition of Happy by Pharell Williams. I dare not even look it up for fear I might have to hear it again.

Dance Monkey by Tones and I

I misread this as what song you would hear when you did this.
- Well of course, endless noise (tsssss song) by tinnitus. (Made up)
  
  Reminds me of a song about tinnitus called Push It by Garbage

The dance monkey song.

Hinder's Lips of an Angel. Just end me.

Butthole Surfers - Pepper is great, but it certainly brings intrusive thoughts with it:

Whatever Ireland did this Eurovision

Green Day in general. Feels like emo virtue signaling

Where Saddam

The national anthem

Knocking on heavens door - guns n roses
- What, you don't enjoy a bunch of sleepy whiny junkies self-indulgently wailing through a three chord Bob Dylan cover for 15 minutes? Man, weren't nineties arena rock great.

Oh no, oh no, oh no no no no no

I love the song Harper Valley PTA. Great song. Very fun.
Once, before smartphones, on a car trip, one of sang the first few lines, and then neither of us could remember the rest. We then got lost, and spent the next 8+ hours driving before we got home. The entire fucking time it was stuck in our heads, with no respite. Just "I wanna tell you all a story 'bout a Harper Valley widow'd wife" on repeat. Over. And over. And over. And over again.
Once we got home and played, we naively assumed it was over. Alas, our brains had been conditioned. It was there for good. For 2 fucking weeks, it rattled around my skull and my mother's skull, relentlessly. Listening to it didn't help, not listening to it didn't help. Listening to other music didn't help. Sleep didn't help. It was the eternal intro. I thought I was going insane.
I cannot listen to that song anymore.
Angie Baby got stuck once pretty bad, too, but nothing like Harper Valley PTA

There are no songs that would make me stab myself in the ear.

Ain't I Right by Marty Robbins
- Releases a total banger with "Big Iron"
  Shits the bed with "Ain't I Right"
  No Marty, you were not right

"Entrance hidden by bricks and rubble" by Sad dam always makes me want to hide in a hole

homelander

Every time I hear a rap I want to deafenin myself with a pencil.

Any song by Dua Lipa

The Horst Wessel song

My daughter (10) is into Black Pink currently. So I gues anything by Black Pink

Blinding lights

Des
Pa
Cito
- You're a monster

Not that I would ever literally do that over a song, but basically anything grating like death metal and scremo, as well as disturbed's cover of "sound of silence" all make me want to get away from that abusive noise as fast as possible. About as close as normal decibel sound can get to physical pain for me.

Waving Flag

Eagles - Hotel California, I hate this song
- i hate the phucking Eagles.... man
  
  This much?
  
  2
- Shut your mouth.
  I literally use their live recorded MTV version to test speakers.
  
  I'd rather Eric Clapton to test speakers

Parallel deserts by Five Star Hotel. Not a bad song per say, just really loud.

RHCP are pretty high on my "can't fucking stand 'em" list.
- Like, all their songs?
  I can't stand anything they did after BSSM. Totally lost their mojo and every just felt bland. Prior to that - every album was a banger
  
  I hate literally all of their music.
