Most overplayed song on the radio that you grew to hate?

I have a clear winner in my mind. This song made me change stations after awhile whenever it came on, which seemed to be about once an hour. What's yours?

Excellent choices.
I would add "I Whip My Hair" which is literally the only words in the song, and some song about shoes and guilty feet having no pleasure. Dumbest song I ever heard.

If I hear Kate Bush, Running up that Hill anymore I may need to be restrained.
Hated that operatic voice in the 80’s, and the song’s revival and newfound following hasn’t made it better.

Ha...I actually like that song. But I don't ever remember hearing it on the radio, so I guess it never got worn out for me.
I still have that album (well, cd). Add it Up is my favorite from the disc...but not radio-friendly... too many naughty words.

another one. For a long time, the worry was that Bruce Springsteen would never be commercial enough to sell record albums. But, by the time THIS album came along, The Boss had sold out for the $$$, cashing in on patriotism. Shades of Lee Greenwood!

Born in the USA may be the most mis-understood song of all time. Because it gets played at events like it is some patriotic rallying cry is probably why.
The song is about someone's terrible experience in Vietnam and how poorly Vietnam Vets were treated when they came back. Many of the young men had no idea why they were even there.
Let me take this time again to say Welcome Home to all the Vietnam Vets who were treated with disrespect after coming home. I am happy that as a society we better understand the fact that politicians decide where and when we fight- American Soldiers just answer the call.

Thank you for saying that, I'll pass that along to my father. He never killed anyone in Vietnam (that he knows of) hard to kill anyone running a bulldozer in one hand and shooting a pistol in the other into the jungle while building airfield's, barracks, etc. All while many more are shooting at you... Seabees CAN DO!

can ever truly appreciate the impact they had. Because the world the later people grew up in was already permanently changed by the impact The Beatles had on music.
I issue a challenge that no one will accept. Listen to ONLY music from 1960-1963 for one whole year. Immerse yourself in the Do-Wop, the "Lounge Lizard" crooners, and the early country music. Do that for a whole year, without listening to anything up to or past The Beatles first appearance on the American Charts.
I believe you will begin to have an inkling of what a seismic shift in music happened when "The British Invasion", that was spearheaded by The Beatles, first hit the American Airwaves. It still won't be the same, because you have already heard modern music, but it will be the best you could do.

The irony of “Born In The USA” is that if you listen to or read the lyrics, it is quite an anti-American song, but expected from the likes of him. It’s funny how we all just ate that up in the mid-1980s (granted, I was a gullible little boy, but I was fooled with the rest) that it was somehow “American Patriotism.”
P.S. No offense to anyone present, but I really dislike “The Boss.”

These are the ones that get in my head and make me upset.
Achy Breaky Heart
I'm too sexy
Don't worry, be happy
Who lets the dogs out?
Any piped in music that any stadium plays will get in my head and I despise.
But the worst is crowd chants. They are the most idiotic things ever. I'm not talking about "Let's go Tigers" or something like that. I'm talking about crowds just making noise in conjunction with other fans. It's very popular up north and in soccer crowds. The british do it during the Ryder Cup as well. It's just mindless garbage.

Everything from the "Footloose" soundtrack but most specifically "Almost Paradise" by Mike Reno (Loverboy) and Ann Wilson (Heart). The lyrics are beyond cringeworthy. "Almost paradise, we're knocking on Heaven's door." I'm embarrassed even typing them.

"Islands in the Stream" that was a magahit for country artists Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers. "Come on Over" by Olivia Newton-John. On and on....

Growing up in Atlanta 96rock ran a needle through "Tom Sawyer" Rush every hour. When I got back from Desert Storm Lee Greenwood "God Bless the USA" was overplayed. I have no justifiable reason for disliking either of them other than they seemed to be on all the time.
While stripping wall paper/painting our Dining Room one station played "Loving, Touching, Squeezing" Journey about every hour. The incessant nah, nah, nah,nah, nah will make you throw a trim brush.

Summer of 1969 "In the Year 2525". I hated that song from the get-go. In the middle 60's, anything by Mrs. Miller.

concerned, you either like her or hate her. I'm a fan, mostly because she is her own songwriter, as well as singer. And, she is delightfully British and naughty.

"I'm a survivor" by Destiny's Child. Ugh... They used to play 93.7 in the kitchen at outback steakhouse, where i worked, round about the turn o' the century and I swear this song was played 3 times every hour on that dumb top 40 station. Came to hate that song...

I like Elton John especially his earlier work. That's all my aunt would play in the car. I can see her pushing that 8 track cartridge in the dash player now.
It was hard not to catch a Mariah Carey song when radio surfing in the 90's. Also Toni Braxton songs too.

Seven Bridges Road by the Eagles. Couldn't stand it, and especially hated the way it started.
Now....many years later, absolutely LOVE that song and appreciate the harmony. I guess that's what growing up does to you.
