My dislike for The Wild Rover is specific to the version most often sung, with the thump-thump-thump-thump. Different versions are fine, but very seldom heard.

I have a general dislike for a song being presented as a "chorus song", as if the chorus is its raison d'être. It's worse when the singer starts by singing the chorus twice to make sure that we know it and/or circles their hand in the air at the end to demand yet another repetition.

I detest Fields of Athenry not only because I have heard it far too often (though, thank heavens, not recently) but because it purports to come from the time of the Famine but clearly doesn't; and because of the assertion that nothing matters when you're free. Sorry, but if it came to the choice wouldn't most of us prefer to be fed than to be free? Haven't people sometimes got themselves arrested for the sake of a night in a cell and some food?
