Most Overplayed Songs/Artists in the History of the World

-619075508

Which songs make you wish the steel guitar had never been invented? What song comes on and makes you cuss in the middle of the condiment aisle? Which artsits are so ubiquitous you curse the day they were handed a record deal? Vent to Karey Ann. You'll feel better.

Spin Doctors "Two Princes"

A terrible song to begin with. It sneaks up on me just when I thought it was dead, like the villain in a bad action movie.

The Eagles "Hotel California"

There is nothing culturally relevent about this song anymore. And still it lives on.

A great place to hear overplayed songs, one after the other.

Tom Cochrane-Life is a Highway

If I never have to hear this song again I will be happy!

"Don't Stop Believing" by Journey

Even though it was in the last episode of “The Sopranos,” it doesn’t make it any better.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Played in every single movie in which a woman gets her groove back. BLEGH.

Rihanna "Umbrella", and Rihanna in general

Who thinks this is a great little ditty? Who? SHOW YOURSELVES!!!

If this chick would have just stayed a model, I think I’d be fine with her. I might even tape a picture of her on to my fridge to remind myself not to eat 3 lbs of cheese a day. But as it is, I wish she had never been invented. Go away, Rihanna!!! Go, and never come back!

Rick Roll Y'All!

Overplayed in the best way possible.

ANYTHING Gwen Stefani

Not No Doubt, just Gwen Stefani the solo artist/Japanese schoolgirl slave owner. You know some shit that would be B-A-N-A-N-A-S? It’s called silence — give it a chance Gwen.

I truly wish "I Will Survive" wouldn't....

Not again!…Seriously? (I think to myself as I hear the intro to this song start playing at the local breakfast diner) From across the restaurant I notice the posture change in our regularly glum, always sarcastic, 65-year old career waitress…no f*ckin way, SHE likes this song too!? Every time I hear the intro to this timeless “classic”, I picture ten half-drunk bride’s maids let out a collective scream (not the panty-splash scream, more like the “Like, OMG it’s Keanu Reaves!” scream), red-faced and shoeless, scurry about finding each other to finally huddle about in a circle where they proceed to wail aloud, arm-in-arm, eyes closed and heads-back, every nauseous lyric to this declarative woman-power wonder of a song. Oi…I’m getting dizzy, I think I need to sit down….

OMFG. Every single overplayed thing I could think of was already on here! Now I have to go sit in Safeway for a while until I hear something new.

The band I’m in (not the Beruit-ish one, but the other one) actually covered “Umbrella” and got more of a response from that than any of our original songs. People actually packed the floor in front of the stage and as soon as “Umbrella” was over, we were back to playing for a concrete floor as everyone ran for the bar. Rhianna has magical powers.
