I will literally leave the room to avoid hearing Tom Sawyer by Rush.

Fuck your favourite song. Tell me your least favourite song. The one that makes you die inside the moment you hear the first 3 seconds.

Any Metallica song. But only if performed by Metallica. Nearly every cover I've heard, I've enjoyed.
To the point that I've developed the theory that Metallica only exists to write songs that less known bands cover, significantly better.
(Admittedly I've only listened to their early stuff.)
Heavy Metal on cellos is _amazing_.

My lawyers, however, advise me that saying “You are very much not wrong to feel that way” in no way constitutes a breach of my duty.
Although it's not entirely John's fault. I had a youth minister at a young adult camp who took the first guitar bit and looped it 15 times (we counted) as a call to meditate before the devotional.
Absolute torture. On multiple levels.
The whole time too I was all... uh. I know the rest of the song lyrics????? Is this perhaps not the best song for this purpose?
I am unpopular with Rush fanboys. 🤣🤣🤣
(Also Mike Portnoy is right there, and he’s way better)
I enjoyed that.
Eons ago in South Florida my folks had a minivan, so I always drove my friends on the biannual Disney World trip. One was a Rush-obsessed drummer. "Tom Sawyer" comes on the radio, he starts drumming ON MY HEAD, I nearly swerve into a semi. Still hate that song. 😅
Wildfire by Michael Martin Murphy. I have distinct memory of sitting in the back of a station wagon & hearing/hating that song.
Total Eclipse of the Heart. I will leave the room/town/country to avoid that song
(I am also a terrible bass player)
I have left BARS when cover bands started to play it.
If you don’t know it, you can use the song it was based on: In the Hall of the Mountain King by Grieg.
Now, as to how to clear your head of this melody? Uhhh…
Punch with care!
Punch in the presence of the passenjare!

Just, nope.
That and a specific recording of music box Christmas music (the new agey shop I worked at played it starting in October). I will move house to avoid it.
Joan Baez’s cover of The Night they drove Old Dixie Down
Pretty much any song by Loverboy
Oh, and Terry Jacks' Seasons in the Sun as well.

[1] "I've got a brand new combine harvester."[2]
[2] When I worked for Massey_Ferguson someone suggested it should replace the boring "music on hold" on the phone system.[3]

ESPECIALLY since it makes me have to count bars before I figure out if they're playing one of my favorite songs.
I don't intend to kinkshame, but whitebread Meghan telling you her weird "dommy-mommy" fantasy just makes my skin crawl.
Sweet Home Alabama: Screw you, yankee! The South is perfect and beautiful!
Play It All Night Long: Yeah, about that....
Stressed Out by Twenty One Pilots.
I’ve come around on “Love Yourself” by Justin Beaver. The song makes 100% more sense if you substitute the F-word back in. I desperately want a punk or metal cover.
Shit. Earworm is go!
No! I don't want to show you what love is. Fuck off!
When I saw the trailer for Ready Player One and it started with "Jump" by Van Halen, I was like, "They're gonna play Tom Sawyer next" AND THEY DID and I knew then even my Gen X ass didn't want to see it.
Lmao. I heard it at trader joes and nearly had my spirit leave my body
Grew into a fucking juicer, too.
