Radio sure did ruin a whole bunch of music for me...
so I got to thinking what song in the Rock and Roll Genre has been run into the dirt more than any other song
I think it may be a toss between Led Zeppelin's Stairway To Heaven and their relentless Whole Lotta Love
I am sure more than these two have been dogged badly...and probably worse (maybe)
so please feel free to suggest something that might top these two shopworn songs
Never was much of a Dead Head...

the other one that launches my genetic evil gene to a murderous rage level is Margaritaville

This might be a sign that Im too young...but the majority of the songs listed so far Im still not sick of. With the exceptions being Whole Lotta Love, and Sweet Home Alabama. Ive basically decided that Clearchanel is the root of all evil. I mean who really cares what listeners want to hear...no were just going to force every station in the country to play the same 4 songs 9 times a day for 5 weeks....until record sales actually hit zero. WTF CLEARCHANNEL!
Right, so Know Your Enemy by Green Day is probably at the top of my list....but on that note, the first time I heard it I was already sick of it.

"That's What I Like About You" by The Romantics. :P
This stems from playing this one to death in a college band. We all hated the song for the most part (too easy and incredibly monotonous to play), but it was always and inevitably requested by the ladies. And if you love the ladies, you love their songs.....

I had a wonderful youthful experience once when that song was playing. IIRC, you could only hear that or that wimbowet-lion-sleeps-tonight song back then.
"Who Let the Dogs Out" has got to rank on this list. A soon to be contender is the Muse song they are using in just about every film trailer AND the Fratellis song they play at Blackhawks games when the home team scores.
Imagine by John Lennon...it almost made me personally hate him they played it so much

now we're choosing the lamest overplayed song.
Being I honestly have never watched a single episode of American Idol, I'd still have to guess that if one gathers up a list of all songs ever played on that and posts it, this thread will be done.
YMCA. If I never hear that song again, I will die a happy man.
Find me a wedding reception where they don't play "We are family"
I don't think there is such a thing.

Especially after Cobain finally figured out how to get Courtney out of his life was to kill himself...this one absolutely got driven into the dirt halfway to China
I remember it got a lot of airplay when it came out, but honestly I didn't start to hate Smash Mouth's 'Walking On the Sun' until I was in high school jazz band and we listened to it many, many times every class for at least a couple months as we were going to cover it at a concert.
I can listen to it again now, but for four or five years hearing that song made my eyeball twitch. :P

Margaritaville was already played but then I started going to the the tropical Isle on Toluse street In N.O.L.A. The Hand grenades there are totally over the top. (Your in trouble if you drink two) and just about every night around ten, the band that played there would play a couple of Jimmy Buffet songs in the lineup. They would usually play Margaritaville at least twice before 1 O Clock rolled around. I couldn't stand listening to it for years. But the place was the scene...Then at midnight "The dungeon" would open up next door... http://tropicalisle.com/ (http://tropicalisle.com/)

sorry we got hammered with it when it came out...
remember it doesn't have to necessarily be a bad song (though that helps) just one that got killed with overexposure
For each overplayed song it would be interesting to know what the next song is on the album.
Sundown; next is Carefree Highway

Lousy song, sickening performance, huge egos hiding behind fake social conscience, way overhyped, way way overplayed.
Bad Romance or Poker Face.
Playing it once over the airways makes it overplayed.
One night at the bar I work for, Bad Romance got played 6 times in about 2 hours on the jukebox.
That's a make the beast with two backsing five minute song. Think about it. 90 minutes of other (some good, some bad, some awful) music, 30 minutes of Lady Gaga.

well it would be a coin toss
but the latter has been on your wish list forever so that's not a fair comparison.
oh come one the early ac/dc stuff is good stuff, early metal at its best.

^^^^ yes this one qualifies for the "once, is massive overplay"
Maybe I missed it, but unless I'm mistaken, I can't believe this one hasn't been mentioned yet...

I always thought the song should end with the sound of a single gunshot.

Hey there Delilah my name is Mr. Jones,
Its been a while and even though nothing compares 2 U, if I could turn back time I feel I would walk 500 miles to slit you throat before you could start this thread. It's more than a feeling, its a desire. I suppose its redundant to put another brick in the wall of this thread, but to have you hear hell's bells would give me satisfaction. Welcome to the jungle, pregnant dog, you ain't seen nothing yet!
Don't worry your achey breaky heart about it though, because Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii will alwaaaaays loooove youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!! I would do anything for love. Hopefully radar love.
Anyway, carry on my wayward son.

Science has determined that if you listen to this song 856 times you will think it is touching, heartfelt and catchy. However, upon your 857th hearing of Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald you will either:
a) slowly drink yourself to death while muttering tales of narrow escapes at sea despite the fact you haven't been on the water since that canoe ride during summer camp. You didn't even paddle you fat, lazy make the beast with two backs!
b) rip off your own leg and beat yourself to death with it to make the pain in your ears stop

Jesusmake the beast with two backsingChistonapogostick . . . that song and Highway to the Danger Zone from Top Gun generated more unnecessary testosterone than Balco. The chest puffing and general douchebaggery caused by these songs has made the world a worse place to live. Any song than is described by a meathead as making said meathead "hyped" "jacked" or "pumped" is overplayed after play number one.

A lot of the songs mentioned were/are overplayed, however Dire Straights, Zepplin, Skynard, the Dead....... at least had talent.
Here's a song that if played once in a eon would be twice too many.it was played once in the recording studio

Very good!! a trifecta of trash tunes that were played tirelessly....reminds me of the old saying "The Beatings Will Stop When Morale Improves" as if relentless exposure would convince us these had any musical merit

This douche bag...his exquisitely coiffed mullet alone warrants a severe beat-down and then he should be hung by it and gutted....formulaic generic "country music" product from some sound factory in Nashville...the only thing more insufferable than his "music" is that hard-faced daughter/marketing product called Miley
Santeria by Sublime
Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen
and anything by the Foo Fighters
I'd say anything on the radio. Regular radio that is. Satellite radio, on the other hand, at least offers a sense of controlling what's played ... don't like the oldies? Switch over to the metal station.
Regular radio's kinda like channel surfing: You may have 100+ channels and you change channels during a commercial break ... only to be seeing commercials on other channels. No matter how hard you try, you'll end up repeating the song at some point despite changing the stations.
[bang] [puke]
At one time these obvious examples made the annoyance list purely because of overplay:
Smoke on the Water
Light My Fire
Any song by Creed [puke]
Roundabout
Come On Eileen
Here I Go Again
A few Zep tunes ... Stairway to Heaven; Heartbreaker/Living Lovin' Maid, etc.
Wicked Game [bang] - long story short: my psycho college neighbor just had to literally play this song over and over day in and day out for weeks on end. Luckily I was in my rap phase with its thumping bass in response. [evil] ;D
You could argue Back in Black is worthy of this list, but that's just a timeless song to my ears. Or any other AC/DC song for that matter.
