Most Overplayed Song

John Denver songs.

Whitney songs.

and "God Bless the USA." by some country artist I do not know.

As I'm sure you're right, there's no need to compensate by playing the song ten fold decades later.

Well, as much as I like Kiss, words more true are seldom spoken. 🙂

Alexandra Burke - "Hallelujah"

Anything by Pink.

Maria Carey songs are overplayed. Not a one has a memorable melody.


I agree. Anything by Mariah Carey is overplayed, especially her "hero" song that has been on the news this week because she sang it at the Inaugural.

For G-d's sake, there was a good artist at the White House this week, too. Wynton Marsalis!

every time I hear that song on the radio I feel like jumping off a building.

Dave Matthews Band plays the same setlist of songs over and over again. And as if to rub it in, they seem to always play the axe-murder-inducingly overplayed All Along The Watchtower as their encore. And then to rub it in even more, they release concert after concert on CD all with the same songs, and all with All Along The Watchtower as the encore. Seemingly.

Radio, covers in concerts, etc.

We Will Rock You

do you really look like that photo AND your name is randolph?

The most overplayed song ever is, "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'," by the Righteous Brothers (8,000,000+).

What about "Unchained Melody" too?

umm... My middle name is randolph, and I do NOT look like the photo. I doubt FMF looks like her photo either.

The macarena was overplayed when it came out. I remember a radio station in my hometown played it non stop for an entire weekend.

"God bless the USA" is sung by Lee Greenwood, copyright circa 1985. I hardly ever hear it unless there is a celebration going on. Where do you hear this song to say that it is overplayed? Just curious.

Most played songs change all the time. I remember "Closing Time" was ruined by being played on the radio every 40 minutes, and at bars when it was time to close.

Nothing ruins a song more than playing it ALL THE TIME.

P-

"The Greatest Love of All" by Whitney Houston. Should never be played at all let alone overplayed. Makes me want to vom everytime i hear those lyrics.
