What overplayed song did you hate the most?

This again!

It was more the video than the song, OP - it was an early overplayed MTV hit...played every hour it seemed.

Near, far.....

R2 I've mentioned this before on DL ... They overplayed that song so much on the Muzak where I was working at the time that, one evening when no one else was around, my co-worker and I climbed up on desks and file cabinets in order to disconnect all the speakers in our somewhat enclosed work area, just so we wouldn't have to listen to that particular one ad nauseam.

What OP said and that song Total Eclipse of the Heart.

Outside of every Beatles song (I could go my whole life without ever hearing one again), when I was young Bohemian Rhapsody was overplayed so much that I would punch my radio whenever it came on. Even now as a parody (Wayne's World) I tense-up when I hear it

^ Speaking of Wayne's World, Stairway to Heaven is another song that's reached the point of self-parody due to it being played to death.

Short songs with catchy tunes seem to age better then these old, nonsensical ballads that just go on forever. Iron Butterfly's In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida being the original over-played, long suicide song

Hotel California

Walking on Sunshine made me want to drive into oncoming traffic.

"You Light Up My Life"

I post this as a huge Zeppelin fan. I wish it had never been so overplayed, because at its core, it's an amazing song.

GaGa Ooh La La La

I Will Survive

Celebrate Good Times COME ON!

I Wanna Dance With Somebody

Blinding Lights got annoying super fast. Can't believe that shit's still in top 10 almost a year and a half after being released.

Margaritaville

Every time it comes on the radio I feel my tits sagging and my hair turning into a helmet and I feel compelled to speak to the manager.

R15, I actually liked Blinding Lights when it first came out. But now? It's as annoying as any Ed Sheeran song released in the last five years. Because they just play it. Over and over. And over.

Endless Love, 1981. I can feel my face flush with anger as I type this.

Any Lenny Kravitz song that’s 90% chorus. So basically all of his hits.

Another vote for "You Light Up My Life."

Second place: "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston.

This Wham one.

That Don’t Impress Me Much

So many to choose from. I'll go with "Wind Beneath My Wings".

I wish Beat It would beat it

That God Is Good God Is Great shit song makes me want to throw up shit.

Macarena

COME ON EILEEN. Still overplayed at gyms, supermarkets, malls and Home Depot.

R27 gets a gold star. The song is ridiculous and it's video is worse.

“Fat Bottomed Girls”

Losing My Religion by REM

Green Day “Good Riddance”

Every Queen song, Stairway to Heaven, Imagine, Hallelujah, Over the Rainbow

Whitney's excruciatingly oversung cover of I Will Always Love You. Happy it made lots of money for Dolly, but it really sucked.

Interestingly, I LOVE Dolly's bluegrass cover of Stairway to Heaven. I prefer it to the original.

FLEETWOOD CACK

Anything by Don Henley.

R36 ANDDDDDDD IIIIIIIIII WILLLLLL ALLLWAYYYSSSSS LOVE YOU WAHHHHHH 😩

Happy by Pharrell

Gnarls Barkley's Crazy was driving me crazy after awhile.

LIFE! IS! LIFE!...nanaaaa nanana...🤮

I want to know what Love is by Foreigner

Don't Come around here no more, Tom Petty

Born in the USA, Bruce Springsteen

Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus.

Don't Speak by No Doubt

R19 I heard that Kravitz song over the muzak at Ralphs grocery store last week, and by the time it was over, I wanted to leave my cart in the aisle and "get away" from hearing one more chorus.

Hotel California

Feelings by Morris Albert and Don’t Worry, Be Happy by Bobby McFerrin.

Agree r7, Hotel California is my least liked Eagles song and the only one my local radio station plays

OLD TOWN ROAD

I thank my various gods that that song is no longer on constant rotation.

Hey, I just met you and this is crazy. But here's my number so call me maybe. It's hard to look right at you, baby. But here's my number so call me maybe. Translation I'm a slut giving out my numbers to men I don't know but I'm gonna play coy. Stupidest lyrics since Katy Perry lied about kissing a girl.

'It Must Have Been Love' by Roxette. They played the hell out of the Pretty Woman soundtrack.

I have Sirrus in several of my cars and listen to the First Wave 1980s channel. The Talking Heads (any song) grate on my nerves. I switch channels usually. David Byrne is the worst vocalist ever.

Anything and everything from The Beatles.
