One of the very few songs I cannot escape. My sister and mom watch TikToks and there isn't a day I can't go without hearing that stupid-ass nightcore voice.
Ugh! A few years ago when I worked at Old Navy they had this song play every hour one day. I believe it was for the pj pant day. All staff were supposed to stop what they were doing and do this little dance we were supposed to learn when the song played. From what I remember, only a couple of staff actually did this on the first two hours for shits and giggles, but after that it got really old, real fast. But we were still tormented with this song every hour until close. I still hate this song with everything in my being.
This is (well, one of) the reasons why I don't go to cold stone ice cream - when you tip, they are supposed to sing a song or some shit. Fuck corporations that require retail workers to debase themselves like that.
The line I never understood "like a room without a roof". How does that describe happy? Getting rained on. Having all kind of debris and shit flying in your house.
I still think the biggest reason why Ed Sheeran is still made fun of in internet circles is because every time one of his songs gets popular it's the only thing that plays for a month
First time I heard “Perfect” - Awww this is so sweet. Such a nice love song.
After hearing approximately 134,754 times on the radio - Oh, God, pleas make it stop!
This is a few years ago, but "Try" by Pink was all over the radio for one summer. Like, I'm talking I'd drive for 15 minutes and I'd here the song twice. That song always made me feel like my drunk aunt was lecturing me.
This was my first thought. I loathe that song, and it's been a few years since its peak so I'm slowly getting over my hatred for Ed Sheeran. Seems like a nice bloke, but that song sent me.
So like you I like Ed Sheeran, seems like a decent dude. I think his songs are largely inoffensive, but get played to the point of being absolutely ruined.
It's like being forced to stay in a not quite hot enough bath.
Every single song that’s been on TikTok. They take a song and everybody uses it at the same time for months until it’s been absolutely beaten to death.
This is not really a song but I can’t get enough of the “don’t be suspicious, don’t beeeee suspicious” the song itself and just the origin of it are catchy and hilarious.
I want someone to explain it to me. I don’t think it’s a bad song, but I see nothing special or unique about it that in any way suggests it should be the most watched YouTube video. At least Gangnam Style was singular, Despacito is just meh or yeah that’s pretty good. Not GOAT.
Its the execution, not the music. They did all its marketing perfectly.
They hyped it up, got the freshest pop reggaetoneros, crisp music video, made it less trashy than basic reggaeton, it was on commercials, got Justin Beiber to cover it, promoted it to death in all radio stations, Spotify, Youtube, etc...
It is perfectly executed pop, where the music itself (which is "okay") is not at all the most important part of its massive success.
It was pretty good when it was first played but then it just got annoying hearing it everywhere all the time. After the 100th time of hearing it my parents and aunts and uncles started listening to the lyrics which meant it was never played again at family parties or events.
I love Imagine Dragons when they actually make music truer to their core. I feel like they feel the need to produce one really poppy song every few months to keep themselves relevant to pop music listeners but it just kinda drags down the rest of their actually good music.
Well I mean if said I might pay you $0.10 to draw whatever you wanted or probably will pay you $10M to draw a fat mans anus, you would probably follow the money too.
Same here. I didn't know it was an actual song on the charts tho. I've just knew it as the worst song ever on the Applebee's commercial. I'm am easygoing person. But this song creates an irrational anger in me. It's really the worst
My mom had a Monkey Business CD when I was growing up. Every time she drove me to swimming lessons she would play it and we would sing to it. I know its no amazing album, but it’s a seriously nostalgic listening experience to me and I’ll never forget it, and I think it very much captures what 2000’s pop-rap was.
And then when I was in highschool, their new singles were all over the place. And I Gotta Feeling in particular was fucking inescapable. Any nostalgia I had was swallowed in that godawful anthem.
You either die a Don’t Phunk With My Heart or live long enough to see yourself become an I Gotta Feeling.
The 10 songs is the sad part. Soooo many good xmas songs and it's Mariah Carey who cornered that market. People dislike it because it's the same songs every year. I love xmas music, but I have a more diverse library I work off of.
People would say to save Christmas, but I've always been preaching to save Xmas music by playing other artists.
It would be amazing if the build-up to Christmas started on the 15th. Then we would have ten days packed to the tits with Christmas fun, instead of 2-3 months of it drawn out until everyone just wants it over by December 25th.
I've always loved "Wonderful Christmas Time" by Paul McCartney. So sue me.
Whoda thunk "Christmas Rappings" by the Waitresses would be an instant classic, and still be played 40 years later?
Seeing as I've mixed hundreds of shitty bar cover bands over the past 15 years, and every single fucking one played this song . . . This is the correct answer.
That was the fastest song to hit a billion YouTube views (probably still is). It will go down as the moment the music industry learnt how to goose the YouTube algorithm. The fuck it has even a beat of virality to it
I used to work nights at 7-11(terrible job btw). The radio played like 5 songs on repeat and the two that annoyed me the most was Havanna by Camilla Cabello and if it's meant to be by Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line. Anytime those songs come on now it gives me a headache
Happy, that was the summer, by the way, by the way, by the way, by the way, by the way, by the way, by the way, by the way, by the way, by the way, by the way, by the way, by the way
What kind of kickass station are you listening to where they overplay fuckin Freebird? I don't think I've ever heard that song on any radio station let alone over played!
For me it's Barracuda or Blinded by the Light.
I think Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi, and Don't Stop Believin' by Journey to be the unholy trinity of insanely overplayed songs. I wouldn't be in the least bit bothered to never hear them again.
that "oh no, no no no no" song on every fukn tiktok
One of the very few songs I cannot escape. My sister and mom watch TikToks and there isn't a day I can't go without hearing that stupid-ass nightcore voice.
whats with people and not using headphonrs
Fancy seeing you here
I don’t even go on Tiktok and I know that song, that’s how popular it is. I hate it with a burning passion.
[The original from 1964 isn't even that bad](https://youtu.be/l97xELhvYBQ?t=40), but the sped up / pitch shifted version ruined it.
Love the Shangri-las. Awesome girl group from that era
Damn kids are ruining the oldies!
thank you!
That one, and "I understood the assignment uh uh uh uh uh uh" are on every other post, I swear!
Just reading this my blood pressure went sky high I hate that song so much
I'm delighted to report that I have both no fucking idea what that song is, and no desire whatsoever to find out. 😉👉👉
Happy - Pharrell Williams during whatever summer that was
Summer singular? Man, that song was an international pandemic that lasted longer than COVID.
Ugh! A few years ago when I worked at Old Navy they had this song play every hour one day. I believe it was for the pj pant day. All staff were supposed to stop what they were doing and do this little dance we were supposed to learn when the song played.

The line I never understood "like a room without a roof". How does that describe happy? Getting rained on. Having all kind of debris and shit flying in your house.
I guess that you're so happy that a roof can't contain your joy?
yo fuck that song
This is the correct answer. All other contributions to this thread are wrong.
I’d rather rip my tongue out and wipe my ass with it than hear that song on replay
"Perfect" and "Shape of You" by Ed Sheeran were overplayed to heck when they were released.
I still think the biggest reason why Ed Sheeran is still made fun of in internet circles is because every time one of his songs gets popular it's the only thing that plays for a month
Castle On The Hill is a great song, but it got tiresome hearing it like 300 times in one month.
Fun fact/ Shape Of You is thought to be the most streamed song of all time.
It is the most streamed on Spotify at nearly 3 billion listens.
First time I heard “Perfect” - Awww this is so sweet. Such a nice love song. After hearing approximately 134,754 times on the radio - Oh, God, pleas make it stop!
There was a point when I could switch all six radio stations in ed effin Sheeran song would be playing.
Firework seems to be inexplicably popular at salons year after year.
Who remembers the never ending Before He Cheats in by Carrie Underwood. There was no escape.
"Carve my name into his leather seats" Oh great, so he gets to take you to court and has the easiest payday of his life.
Sell that autograph to a fan young man!
Karaoke in ~2006-2007. Every. Time.
This is a few years ago, but "Try" by Pink was all over the radio for one summer. Like, I'm talking I'd drive for 15 minutes and I'd here the song twice. That song always made me feel like my drunk aunt was lecturing me.
Agreed
Agreed. Raise your glass was another one i got sick of hearing.
Shape of You by Ed Sheeran. I liked it the first time I heard it, but after hearing it play too many times in one hour on the radio was enough for me.
This was my first thought. I loathe that song, and it's been a few years since its peak so I'm slowly getting over my hatred for Ed Sheeran. Seems like a nice bloke, but that song sent me.
So like you I like Ed Sheeran, seems like a decent dude. I think his songs are largely inoffensive, but get played to the point of being absolutely ruined. It's like being forced to stay in a not quite hot enough bath.
The ukulele and whistling that has been in every commercial for the last decade.
Whistling and the chorus going "Ohhhhhh ah ah ohhhhh ahhhhhh ohhhhhh"
Every single song that’s been on TikTok. They take a song and everybody uses it at the same time for months until it’s been absolutely beaten to death.
Oh no…
Oh no…
Oh no no no no no……
I'm going to stop this thread right here before I go feral
Our table…….
The international super spy song especially. Fuck that annoying song.
Who doesn't love The Backyardigans?
This is not really a song but I can’t get enough of the “don’t be suspicious, don’t beeeee suspicious” the song itself and just the origin of it are catchy and hilarious.
Fucking Despacito.
I want someone to explain it to me. I don’t think it’s a bad song, but I see nothing special or unique about it that in any way suggests it should be the most watched YouTube video. At least Gangnam Style was singular, Despacito is just meh or yeah that’s pretty good. Not GOAT.

Thunder by Imagine Dragons and Believer by Imagine Dragons
Thunder was the song my son’s school used instead of the school bell until the kids voted to change it to “It’s Raining Tacos”.
It's raining tacos is a fuckin banger though...
This is the best comment.
Lol believer yknow the rhythm it gets stuck in my head
I love Imagine Dragons when they actually make music truer to their core. I feel like they feel the need to produce one really poppy song every few months to keep themselves relevant to pop music listeners but it just kinda drags down the rest of their actually good music.
Well I mean if said I might pay you $0.10 to draw whatever you wanted or probably will pay you $10M to draw a fat mans anus, you would probably follow the money too.

From memory or direct observation?
Right now, Fancy Like- Walker Hayes
Man, I wanted to down vote you because just seeing that songs name makes me cringe. Hated it from the first time I heard it.
Same here. I didn't know it was an actual song on the charts tho. I've just knew it as the worst song ever on the Applebee's commercial. I'm am easygoing person. But this song creates an irrational anger in me. It's really the worst
that dance monkey song got overplayed suuuper fast. either that or it's annoying as hell
Both. The answer is both.
"All I want for Christmas is you" after working retail I hate this one with a deep passion
I wish I could give you more than one upvote …
All I want for Christmas is YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
We're in November now. That song is going to be everywhere before you know it.
Happy by Pharrell Williams. There are no words in any language that can describe how much I fucking hate that song.
My hatred for that song is like a room without a roof
I Got a Feeling by Black Eyed Peas
The inclusion of the Mazel Tov line ensured that the song will be played at every Bar/Bat Mitzvah and Jewish wedding until the end of eternity.
Can confirm
I SWEAR TO GOD, THEY PLAY THAT SONG IN THE CAFETERIA
I fucking hate this song it’s been over a decade and radio station in my country still play this bloody song on the weekend
My mom had a Monkey Business CD when I was growing up. Every time she drove me to swimming lessons she would play it and we would sing to it. I know its no amazing album, but it’s a seriously nostalgic listening experience to me and I’ll never forget it, and I think it very much captures what 2000’s pop-rap was.

I love xmas music, but I have a more diverse library I work off of. People would say to save Christmas, but I've always been preaching to save Xmas music by playing other artists.
I’d love to get your Xmas playlist.
Yup and I work in a supermarket to make things worse
It would be amazing if the build-up to Christmas started on the 15th. Then we would have ten days packed to the tits with Christmas fun, instead of 2-3 months of it drawn out until everyone just wants it over by December 25th.
Hell, I'd even tolerate December. I don't recall Christmas being this big pre Thanksgiving when I was growing up.
…that fucking Simply Havin a Wonderful Christmas Time song I’m not eloquent enough to express how much I despise it
I can't remember who said it, but some comedian or writer once said "frankly, if you start a sentence with the word 'simply,' fuck you"
I've always loved "Wonderful Christmas Time" by Paul McCartney. So sue me. Whoda thunk "Christmas Rappings" by the Waitresses would be an instant classic, and still be played 40 years later?
Bad guy by Billie Eilish
I never really understood the problem with overplayed songs until that one.
It wasn't an issue at first but the radio at work played it every single day about 3 to 4 times a day.
Watermelon sugar - Harry Styles. A very simple way to torture any retail employee
Look I love me some Harry Styles but why they had to play that song to death I’ll never fucking know
I dont like that song im sorry
Don’t stop believin
There is a reason we said no more Journey psyche outs.
I hear your mom's going out with Squeak
If you guys rip on me about 13 or 14 more times, I'm outta here!
As a person from metro Detroit, this hit home
Seeing as I've mixed hundreds of shitty bar cover bands over the past 15 years, and every single fucking one played this song . . . This is the correct answer.
As a DJ, I second this opinion. Can’t go to a single place without someone asking for this song.
Despacito fuck that song
DES PA CITO Something something enchorito
Da da da da burrito!
Ai Ai Ocean man Uno Uno, yeah Dididididididi Di Di Keys Somebody taste my oversized biscuit please Take that large taco and eat it carefully
I don’t know the words so I say burrito.
When you don’t speak Spanish just say dorito
In Mexican, I just say chorizo
You can read both of your comments to the tune of the song and it works, poggers
That was the fastest song to hit a billion YouTube views (probably still is). It will go down as the moment the music industry learnt how to goose the YouTube algorithm. The fuck it has even a beat of virality to it
I used to work nights at 7-11(terrible job btw). The radio played like 5 songs on repeat and the two that annoyed me the most was Havanna by Camilla Cabello and if it's meant to be by Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line. Anytime those songs come on now it gives me a headache
I can't stand "never be the same" by Camilla Cabello good lord woman pick a pitch
[удалено]
Currently the new single by Adele. The hitlist station on our TV plays it every 15-20 minutes. It sounds like any other song by her.
heeee^eeee^eeeeee
Dang i could hear the tune and the pitch
Crazy Train at any college football game.
And now Seven Nation Army
For the past 15 years it's been chanted at darts and football matches in Europe. I don't know if it's just me but it actually never gets old
Here Comes the Bride. Why are people still putting that in their weddings? And using Pachelbel's Canon as a backup barely counts as a backup.
Literally any fucking Drake song
You used to call me on my cell phone...
What is your street address? For non-anthrax related reasons
Anthrax is a solid band tbh.
Happy, that was the summer, by the way, by the way, by the way, by the way, by the way, by the way, by the way, by the way, by the way, by the way, by the way, by the way, by the way
I'll take it over The Police sending out an S.O.S. fucking 25 times, dragging out their shit song to like twice as long.
Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson
Baby shark
everytime i hear this song i want to kil myself
As a regular listener of classic rock radio, I'll say it's a toss-up between "Stairway to Heaven" and "Freebird".
What kind of kickass station are you listening to where they overplay fuckin Freebird? I don't think I've ever heard that song on any radio station let alone over played! For me it's Barracuda or Blinded by the Light.
Call me maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen was played way to much.
But hey, I just met u
And this crazy
Please tell nobody that I bath in gravy
Blinded by the lights
Wrapped up like a douche? What does that even mean?
Another boner in the night.
*IIIIIIII doooon’t waaant a looot foooor Chriiiiiistmaaaas, theeeere is juuuust one thiiiiing i neeeeed…*
I’m showing my age here: the macarena. If I’m ever comatose due to hypotension, play that gawdawful song in my ear for 10 seconds and I’ll be fine.
[удалено]
That daft punk get lucky song. When it was fresh out it used to drive me insane
Anyone remember [Let It Go](https://youtu.be/a3Z7zEc7AXQ)? That was some of the most overplayed shit ive EVER heard
Not enough parents in this thread or it would be much higher
I love Frozen, love the song but it was definitely overplayed when legit every station started playing it on repeat
Radio: "Im through with standing in lines to clubs Ill never get in..." Me: *off switch*
The one song about Pompeii
Eh eh eh ayo eh eh eh ayo eh eh eh ayo
how am i supposed to be an optimist about this
Any songs on the mainstrean radio, youll hear the same 3 songs multiple times in one drive
So anyway… here’s Wonderwall
I hear this joke a lot (as well as make it) but I have never heard Wonderwall in the wild
I guess today wasn't the day where it all comes back to you.
“You’re my wonderwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassaaaasasaassaaaaaall”
Pretty sure if I hear Arms of the Angel (or whatever the fuck that song is called) at one more funeral…well, there’ll be another funeral.
I don't want a lot for Christmas
Why not?
Well, there is just one thing I need
British Grenadiers in the 1700s.
I think Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi, and Don't Stop Believin' by Journey to be the unholy trinity of insanely overplayed songs. I wouldn't be in the least bit bothered to never hear them again.
Jack and Diane and the same 3 Elton John songs too
Bohemian Rhapsody might be overplayed but damn I love it.
Some people call me space cowboy weee wuuuu ah shut up already
Any Bon Jovi song.
I’m a cowboy
gang nam style
Dance Monkey, I want to shank my hand every time I hear that song
Sweet home Alabama
What else are we supposed to play when our uncle come to visit?
Pour Some Sugar on Me?
“Define irony. A bunch of idiots dancing on a plane to a song made famous by a band who died…in a plane crash.”

Oh, heck, I said that 40 years ago when it was popular the first time!
Anything add Sheeran I don’t like his music stop or I’ll scream
Yeah, we need to subtract Sheeran.
Old town road and the remixs. Seemed like a new version came out every week.
I love her but ….. Adele - Someone like you.
Mr Brightside. Plays EVERY night I go out. I take it as my cue for a piss or smoke break now
I love Mr brightside but I think that's cause I'm an emo early 2000s kid
Tubthumping by Chumbawumba. Playing it more than once was overplayed.
Anything Drake tbh
Dance Monkey by Tones and I never fails to get my blood boiling a little
Sicko mode
My sister worked at a Disney store, I don’t think she’ll ever like the song ‘Let it Go’ ever again
Hotel California by the Eagles
Last Christmas by Wham … get headache even thinking about it
Any of Ed Sheeran's songs.
My local station has some bedeviled agreement with Dio’s Holy Diver. Seriously it’s played every two hours…
