Put a sock in It

Beyoncé Knowles' "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)": possibly the most irritating song of the decade. And this is the decade that gave us the Crazy Frog.

Every time I hear Beyoncé's vocalised hyperventilating, I feel like tearing my ears off with my bare hands.

Worst of all, it's one of those annoying songs that's frustratingly catchy, so even after its mercifully brief three minutes has run its course, the torture lingers. It's a bit like getting a paper cut; it's short, sharp and painful, but it hurts like hell for ages.

Oh, you know it does.
