Decent songs that became immensely irritating through being overplayed

Journey - Don't Stop Believin'

[Vimana.]

I quite like the opening bars on that tune, and then it has to go.

Pharrel singing Happy started to make me a little less happy.

Pharrell is a talented artist tho.

The Power of Love - by Jennifer Rush. I thought it was great when I first heard it while driving in the car.

But it was overplayed for many years - and lots of people ended up hating it - including me.

Fairy tale of New York by the Pogues.

Cracking song and played far too often and has now become a little cheesey.

[Loya Jirga]

There's been three types of this post this weekend - and my answer in every situation is "Imagine".

now just some crappy student anthem for clubs like revs where you can lift your £1.50 bottle of fosters in the air at 2am and bounce along singing all the words

[Blue Countisbury]

Men of Harlech

Because there's feck all else to do-oo-oo.

Dancing Queen- ABBA.
Got to admit, ABBA are a guilty pleasure of mine, but I think I played my ABBA Gold CD far too often, as I now can hardly want to listen to Dancing Queen. I still think ABBA are quality though.�

The only thing I can think of is a personal one: anything from Califorincation. I had a mate in halls who used to go out of his way to piss everyone off. One of his favourite tricks was to to leave a song on loop on his (very loud) stereo, lock his room up and leave for the day/weekend/week. The rest of us left behind in halls would have to listen to whatever he had on loop, until he came back. Scar Tissue and Around The World were his favourites. I still can't listen to those songs. We actually got the building manager to turn off the power for our floor briefly to kill the repeat when he put "Independent Women" on and went awat for a week with his girlfriend. Git.
