Jokes aside, yes that make sense, you could express your regret or refusal by saying 我不要! or you could say something like ‘how awful!’ Chinese translated literally sometimes feels so corny.
Lip syncing can't be a concern, because the chorus is not visible. The background characters on screen are not singing.
How about "ffffuuuuuuuck!" etc?
肏, often euphemistically spelled as 操. But also commonly seen in the expression 我操, which would be two words.
You can analyze 不要 in the use under discussion as one word, or as two. There's no rule that says a word can't be more than one syllable long, but then again 不要 is not exactly etymologically opaque.
Side note just to illustrate how filthy and vulgar 肏 is: it’s constructed of 入 and 肉. 入 means enter, go into, like 入口 is entrance. 肉 means meat or flesh, like beef 牛肉 or muscle 肌肉.
(Which I was actually less surprised by than when I heard someone make fun of herself by saying 傻屄的我...)

Occasionally I wonder, if 入口 is entrance, what is the character 如 supposed to represent? Nobody objects to that one.
