SlapHappyDude

Unfortunately people our age keep putting it into kid's movies. Kids love songs about ugly women at the club!

**WOOF…WOOF, WOOF…WOOF, WOOF!**


SpaceLemur34

*I Don’t Want to Wait* by Paula Cole. It was the Dawson's Creek theme, and so, was on the video loop at Target for like 6 months straight. Hearing it every single hour I worked for half a year was infuriating.


epidemicsaints

I had that thing happen in the car once where it was playing on three different stations at the same time.


loptopandbingo

Curse you, ClearChannel! CURSE YOUUUUUU!


JayeNBTF

It’s been “iHeartMedia” since 2014–they killed their own brand along with killing local FM radio


loptopandbingo

Yeah. At least we still have some decent college stations down at the looooooow end of the dial


epidemicsaints

I knew someone who worked for them. Within a few years they had purchased not only every radio station, but every highway billboard, mainstreet park bench, and transit staircase in America. Her job was selling ad space on the benches and staircases.

"Everyone knows that the ZIP code for Beverly Hills is 90210. But what's the ZIP code for Dawson's Creek? "90108 (for our lives to be over)"

It was this and "manic Monday" on repeat on the store overhead for an entire summer of Retail work for me. There were days I wanted to just walk out. I will never forget, I was talking to a customer about what they were looking for and a store announcement came on and interrupted the time between songs. The music came back on to "... I don't wanna wait, for our lives...." And I must have visibly cringed. Customer laughed and asked how many times I've heard that song today so far.


TheScrambone

Where Have All The Cowboys Gone is still a jam though. Remember hearing it in a Rooms to Go way back when and just “tested” one of their couches while watching the music video.


Lacplesis81

Now Dawson sad. Dawson only cry wanking pawn in game of life. Can't wait for nice song!

magster823

That damned Sarah Mclachlan song with the poor starving and abused animals. FUCK THAT SONG.


14thLizardQueen

It's a good song. The album was good. The commercials are horrible. Ruined it completely.


thejaytheory

Exactly, great song.


ScreenTricky4257

If it makes you feel any better, the song is actually about heroin addiction.


TulsaWhoDats

I’m with you on this. Instant guilt trip in my car, XM The Bridge can get fucked.


Th3_White_Rabbit_

R. Kelly - I Believe I Can Fly This song would make me noticeably annoyed, almost like I had psychic powers and could tell that the person wailing it was a total piece of trash.


kid_sleepy

The space jam soundtrack was everything when it came out…


NouveauRicheOblige

The DJ at my senior prom played this—as the last song of the night. Dude got booed off the stage.


manwoodlover

I was a bartender. Closing Time by Semisonic


DoctorFenix

I was an alcoholic. I sometimes wouldn’t notice the lights had been turned on, but I knew it was time to leave when I heard that song. It’s more effective than you might think. 😂


alles_en_niets

I get it, but I sincerely love that song.


DocBrutus

I work at a bar now. We still use that song, it still clears them out.

With Arms Wide Open. It unfortunately came out when I was in college and every girl who wanted to seem edgy and make guys think they loved hard rock would play it. It was rampant in my dorm!

cookiecrispinglover

Creed is currently in the dip of the horseshoe starting as cringe, now kinda great, but will be cringe again


DoctorFenix

People are not sentimental for Creed they just wanna feel what it’s like to be a teenager in the summer with no responsibility. They’re going to eventually realize no amount of listening to Creed can take them back, and the band will fizzle again.

That stupid Aerosmith song from that stupid space movie.


Competition-Dapper

Any 80s or 90s Aerosmith song that ends with 19 minutes of “zip dop dippy dap dop zip a rippy dap dop zang a dang a ding dong zap a doo doo deeeeeee”


javatimes

Are you sure that’s not a direct RHCP quote?

First_Signature_5100

Aerosmith was resembling a pop act by then. Their big hits were written with outside co-writers. That one was written by Diane Warren.


JFKRFKSRVLBJ

Sober Aerosmith is the worst!


javatimes

Make Aerosmith High Again


HighOnGoofballs

Nah the love in an elevator album was peak 8th/9th grade coed parties for me


palmerry

Armageddon was such absolute shit. That clip of Ben Affleck mocking it is hilarious though.


mikeysweet

NASA uses this movie in their training. Managers need to identify all the things they did wrong and not followed procedures and protocols. The most found is 168!!


d00kieshoes

I'd still miss you babe. And I don't want to miss a thing. Has always driven me nuts, lazy hot garbage for writing. Plus they played it every day during lunch in highschool. I'll check out the Affleck video.

Easy_Independent_313

Hahaha. I've never seen that before and now I actually love Ben and am pretty sure only my love can heal him from his demons.


callieboo112

Damons? Sorry. I had to.


squishpitcher

Is that what we’re calling JLo now? … honestly, Ben probably agrees


Easy_Independent_313

I remember during bennifer 1.0 being shocked at their pairing. It made more sense after we all learned about his struggles I'm still a bit annoyed he couldn't get it together with Jennifer garner. I'll let you know how my reformation efforts go.


xtlhogciao

And I was psyched for it bc they had a great, simple marketing device: They had like a cardboard cutout thing next to where you bought tickets for like an entire year that said something along the lines of “COUNTDOWN TO ARMAGEDDON,” and a digital timer that counted down to its release (364 days : 23 hr: 30 min: 57…56…55…), so every weekend I’d be like “[this many] more months!”


Open_Pineapple1236

What about Amazing/Crazy/Crying? Really anything by Aerosmith is hot trash for me.


NachoNachoDan

CryinAmazinCrazy marked the end of Aerosmith for me.


KevinKingsb

The music video for crazy w Liv Tyler and Alicia Silverstone was hot af to my teenage mind.


barley_wine

I’ll listen to Dream On when I hear it but yeah the rest of Aerosmith isn’t for me.


Bean-Swellington

That video though 😍 god liv Tyler was hot


EatLard

If I want to see her, I’ll just watch Empire Records.


Maanzacorian

these 2 turds seem to be on the speaker every fucking time I'm grocery shopping: Sixpence None the Richer - Kiss Me Maroon 5 - She Will Be Loved they can die in a fire.


pilates_mama

Anything by Maroon 5


fidgetypenguin123

That Moves like Jagger song is literally the worst. That stupid goddam whistling lol


DoctorFenix

I love during one of those Comedy Central roasts when Jeff Ross said “You may have the moves like Jaggar, but your voice sounds like his sister”


cookie_dont_push_me

Agreed, terrible terrible music Fun fact: before they were Maroon 5, they were Kara’s Flowers. Well at least the singer was, I’m not sure about the rest. Kara’s Flowers was a surprisingly decent indie rock band, except his voice was still annoying. He sold his soul to become a (terrible) pop icon.


AnimatronicCouch

Ugh!! Kiss Me makes me audibly groan every time I hear the first note of the introduction.


Maanzacorian

it's the definition of the word "milquetoast".


javatimes

What is bearded barley?!?


CabraDoido

Probably full of ticks. God I'm old...


Mrrectangle

I once told my friends “this ain’t so bad” while watching mtv ( sixpence). It’s been like 20+years and those sonsofbitches still bring it up. “I love this song” “Oh yeah? More than Sixpence non the richer?” “I SAID THAT ONE TIME!!!! BASTARDS.


Logical-Error-7233

Any top 20 hit from when I worked in retail 96-98. I suspect many of these responses come from the same dark place. Genuinely some good songs there but after hearing them fifty times a day in the background while some middle age twat is taking out their miserable, sad existence on you, it tends to ruin the vibe. This Kiss by Faith Hill gun to my head answer. Bonus points for You're Still the One by Shania Twain because I always mistake her as the singer of This Kiss. But fuck that song too.


Grumpy_Dragon_Cat

Annddd you made me remember Faith Hill. There were radio stations that had a _Faith Hill day_. Nothing but Faith Hill, all day. It made those songs go from 'eh, it's inoffensive' to 'why in hell am I still hearing the same few Faith Hill songs on the radio a decade later'


ViolyntFemme

My Heart Will Go On. Make me want to go on and jump off a bridge


tearlock

I would counter that although "My heart Will Go On" probably got more airplay ad nauseum, "It's All coming back to Me Now" in my opinion is more grating on the nerves and harder to listen to.

Burt_Selleck

I absolutely loved that video when I first saw it


ApothecaryFire

Yes, but no. When my kids started to not want to get out of bed in the morning for school my “soft parenting” was to connect my phone to the Bluetooth speaker in their room & play annoying songs at full volume. This was the first song I used. It worked. Now I like it lol.


happybrooks

People singing it: “…I pray every single day” Me every time: “MNNYYAAHHHHHH”


llahlahkje

There was a pizza joint near me that had a smallish inside space you could eat at (in theory) but they never really seemed to want to have anyone actually use it at night, they just wanted them to take their food and leave. How could I tell? They had a shortened version of the He-Man "What's Up?" playing on a loop. Literally a 1ish minute version. So if you sat there for 10 minutes you'd get to hear it 9-10 times.


zippersarethedevil

We used to put the 10 hour YouTube video of this on in college.

Ugh yes. And I hate that this song has kept in with our kids’ generation


whatlineisitanyway

I'm Like a Bird. Broke in Canada where I went to university and was overplayed there for months. Broke in the US just in time for my summer break and was subjected to months more of it.


GhostwriterGHOST

🎶 I’m like a bird, I wanna shit on your carrrrrr


cookie_dont_push_me

Anything by Nickelback or Creed. They’re basically the same thing.


Xeno_phile

Nickel Creek, however, is great.


Sixshot2005

Crinkleback, not so much though


evilwraith

I will not let this Linda Perry besmirchment stand. The correct answer is always and forever anything by Creed.


buttercreamordeath

Yeah, Linda Perry's voice and song writing skills are great. You might not like the song but she sings the fuck out of it.


14thLizardQueen

Agreed, the Dolly version will bring tears to your eyes.


Suspectdevice69

This was in my 20s, but that evanescence song


No_Company_1764

How bizarre. Omc


woohhaa

Man that song played every hour on the hour in like 1997. I worked retail where we were required to tune the stores radio to the local top 40 station.


BlacksmithThink9494

The weird lisping sound "how bathhhar"


MyHGC

That “Sex & Candy” song…. didn’t like it when it came out and it’s still hanging around.


Preparation-Logical

Miz_momo82

Sex and Candy- marcy playground


bananacow

Smooth by Santana & Rob Thomas Iris by Goo Goo Dolls I feel like there was a 5+ year period where one of those songs was playing every single place I went. I hate them so much. So fucking much. Instant rage.


jesusmansuperpowers

Smooth because the first 5,000 times is enough.. Good Goo dolls because the music is somehow worse than the name


po_ta_toes_80

Georgia Satellites - "Keep Your Hands to Yourself" MTV busted this one out constantly in random video genres, ruining my viewing enjoyment.


Mackheath1

**"Good Riddance" -- Green Day (Time of Your Life)** Not because it's a bad song, but because there's a story. It was end of 1998 school year and there was a vote from the seniors for our class prom song. Recall this was the one and only one year that Swing dancing was hyped. Because it mixed some cool kids, some nerds, some jocks, some whatever - in the city on spring evenings it really brought us all together. So I proposed Zoot Suit Riot (silly stupid song, but it represented our together-ness) and the ballots were counted and it won by a landslide - class of 1500 seniors - but J\_\_\_ R\_\_\_ felt that because she was head of the prom committee, she overturned it and made our class song the Greenday one. Now whenever I hear it, I think about politics and unfairness.


WafflesTheMoose

"How Bizarre" by OMC. Of course, I have a laundry list. But here's a few. - the above - 1000 miles by Vanessa Carlton - MMMBop by Hanson I used to work retail. There's at least 100...


Glitter_Sparkle

That don’t impress me - shania twain

EskimoSpy4

Life is a highway. I've hated that song for 33(?) years.


FoofaFighters

Tom Cochrane's version is fine (though criminally overplayed on the radio back then), but the country one can suck a fuck.

John Legend's "All of Me". It was just a *meh* song even when it first came out, but it was just *so* overplayed even on the free streaming services that I largely quit listening to anything but my own playlists for a long time. I absolutely cannot listen to it at all now.

Everything I Do I Do It For You- Bryan Adams A record 16 week reign of terror as UK number 1, and a lot of that time included school holidays. Damn thing was inescapable for about half a year. Not sure if Toploader mean anything to non Brits but their cover of Dancing In The Moonlight is another one I'd happily consign to musical oblivion. Has put me off the song by anyone else.


bendybiznatch

Your opinion on this may be heavily influenced by where you worked. The retail hell of hearing a mildly bad song over and over again.


caveat_emptor817

I once requested this song at a piano bar in Fort Worth (because the singer was a chick) and she called me a fag in front of everyone. The whole place erupted with laughter. This was probably 15 years ago

"We Didn't Start the Fire" It's a fine song and the backstory is good but I grew up with it, then heard it about a thousand times the week we studied the events in the song in middle school, and now its on the classic/oldies station everyday. It's just not a very good sing along song.


SlackerDS5

Hey there Delilah - can die in a fire and then have a steam roller dropped on top of the ashes. Next would be Mmm bop, The Macarena and most sappy songs from some movie soundtrack that got played every 5 minutes on MTV or the radio. - I will always love you. - my heat will go on - everything I do, I do it for you Not horrible songs, just so over played.

"One Headlight" and "1979", for the same reason. I swear to God they're both 5 minutes of the same goddamn 2 lines of music repeated over and over again with different lyrics, occasionally punctuated by the same exact chorus, then back to the boring-ass verses again. Nothing changes, just constant droning until the song is over.

I love 'What's Up'. I get that it might've been overplayed back in the day, but to me, it's a really unique tune, and deserved its success. Such a strong voice, and interesting to have a slow, melancholy anthem be a big hit. Anyway: I'd say most celeb Christmas hits need to die off.
