We all know these songs.

A song you hate that was a huge hit that even years/decades later is played to death and you are resigned to the fact it always will be.

One of mine:

Simple Minds Don't forget about me.

This thing has been beaten like a dead horse since the Breakfast Club, its an automatic station changer the second it comes on and is thumbed down on any Pandora station it might show up on.
 
Bon Jovi

Living on a Prayer.

"Tommy used to work on the docks"

Look Tommy hasn't been working for over twenty years now. I don't think the lazy prick is even looking for work and "Gina" should dump his ass for someone with a damn job.
 
Every song ever sung by The Captain and Tennille. Maybe we'll get lucky, and they will.

This says to me that you're listening to Pandora stations that play Simple Minds... Maybe you should pick a "Smooth Jazz" station for a change...

Wouldn't actually posting the lyrics be about as close to standing on a rickety chair with a noose around your neck as you could get? ;)

Colonel when you are right - you are right :)

But that is because I wish that song would die....and it never will!
 
Probably the entire Barry Manilow catalog, but I'm trying not to think about it.
 
Total Eclipse Of The Heart.


In 20 years will "Let It Go" be remembered and be one of these songs? Is it one now?
 
The main thing that song had going for it is that it's eight minutes long, and allowed radio DJ's enough time for a joint break.

Believe me, DJs long for the 7 minute songs. It's the only time they get to go pee.

The wife has a lot of stations she made there and has different taste than me so when we go on road trips we take turns and I always skip that one when it comes on.

I'll take Rob Zombie over Jazz its better for driving

Yup that and Hotel California and Freebird.

When they need to eat and take a shit its that Outlaws song that goes on for ever.
 
Frank Sinatra: My Way

The Whiffenpoof Song

O Mine/Mein Papa

How Much Is That Doggy In The Window?

Anything by:

Rolf Harris
Gary Glitter
 
Songs that get used for commercials, and are played constantly, like Danke Schoen.
 
Achy, breaky heart.

Even writing the title gives me a nervous twitch.
