10 Singers Who HATE Their Own Songs

10. Frank Sinatra - Strangers In The Night

Released in 1966, Strangers in the Night topped the charts in both the UK and the U.S., which was the legendary singer's first No. 1 hit in 11 years. It also won two Grammy awards in 1967, and has become one of the singer's most iconic songs.

Despite its success, or perhaps because of it, Sinatra did not like the tune at all.

Sinatra's widow, Barbara, wrote in her book, Lady Blue Eyes: My Life with Frank, that Strangers in the Night did nothing for him because "the words weren't subtle enough or 'too on the nose'," and he dreaded singing it at every concert.

Some of Sinatra's quotes towards the song include:

"Yeah here’s a song that I can not stand. I just can not stand this song, but what the hell." (1975-11-27, Jerusalem, Israel)

"The worst f***ing song I’ve ever heard." (29-08-1982, Dominican Republic)

"Here’s a song, the first time I heard Don Costa played it for me some years ago. I hated it! I hated this goddamn song the first I’ve heard it. And I still hate it! So sue me, shoot bullets through me. Shoot." (New York Set, Cd 4)

Needless to say... oof.
