The Most Overplayed Song Ever

[zarn02]

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.

Money for Nothing...

I haven't listened to the radio with any regularity (by which I mean I hear it when I'm in stores...) for about the last eight years. Most things no longer seem "overplayed" to me.

I Will Survive...Gloria Gaynor

[TiNi]

More than a Feeling - Boston

OK contender here   Going Up to The Spirit In The Sky

Crap.  I can see I'm going to have to completely overhaul my iPod before DIMBY should any of you get your hands on it whilst I'm weebling and see songs like this one ^^^^^ that I just downloaded!

[Stella]

Oh and what about Peaches and Herb "Reunited"?

[MendoDave]

yup I'm with you...

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

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/

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

[LMT]

For each overplayed song it would be interesting to know what the next song is on the album.

Sundown; next is Carefree Highway

Desperado; next is Certain Kind of Fool

...they tried to kill Edmund Fitzgerald but I can still hear it without wincing...I like much/most of his work
