"I Hate the Music" is an pop song written by George Young and Harry Vanda and recorded by Australian pop singer John Paul Young. The song was released in March 1976 as the lead single from Young's second studio album, J.P.Y. (1976). The song peaked at number 2 on the Kent Music Report in Australia, remaining on the chart for 20 weeks. The song was certified gold in Australia.
The song was inspired by a conversation with George Young and Harry Vanda in the Boomerang House elevator after a day in the studio. The conversation involved George's general frustration with a song that he couldn't get to sound right. The song originally had a banjo introduction but was changed to a piano.
