Whether it’s radio or retail that are played by the most inane and vanilla of DJs possible with no taste or other means.
The Cure - Lovesong. Thanks to my store’s shitty radio selection, this song plays like 2 - 3 times at a given night. Can’t stand it.
Pearl Jam - Do The Evolution. The only time I enjoy this song, is if I’m watching the music video anymore and quite frankly, I do recommend watching the music video to this song. But, it’s overplayed to me now.
Huey Lewis and the News - Power of Love. This really does break my heart, because I love Huey Lewis and the News, but it’s steadily getting up there to being so overplayed that I can’t stand it.
AC/DC - Back in Black. Fuck, every god damn commercial, movie trailer and what have you, has killed this song for me.
Any Queen Song. Bohemian Rhapsody, We Will Rock You, you name it, overplayed to where I can’t be bothered to listen to them on my own to enjoy.
Phil Collins - In the Air Tonight. I tie this song to the Hangover, in the scene where the guys meet Mike Tyson and he stops them to listen to his favorite part. But, the more times I’ve heard this song, the enjoyment I’ve had is out the window.
The Offspring - Come Out and Play. Loved it a lot back then, it was a symbol of the 90s, now its a symbol of being overplayed.
Temple of the Dog - Hunger Strike. Of all of the songs and bands, they have to abuse this one. It’s also fucking ironic that they play this song, considering its meaning. I’m waiting to hear something from Rage Against the Machine or KMFDM just to stir the irony pot some more that some corporate entity is blasting songs from bands that are against them.
So many. I can’t think of them all but many 90s and 00s songs. Basically while I was dependent on radio for music.
The latest that I can think of, I hadn’t heard in maybe 15-20 years. But I was sent a link to a cover of it. I had to turn that off within 30 seconds. I think it’s forever burnt out for me and I never want to hear it again. Sixpence None the Richer - Kiss me.
