Good songs you never want to hear again

There are some songs out there, upon first listening to, you think are great. But, over time, you hear it wherever you go, and eventually, you reach the point where you're sick of it. It's a good, inspired song, but it was, as the say, played into the ground. My candidates are:

Any song featured in a car commerical. I don't know why this happens with car commercials more than ads for other stuff.

"Clocks" by Coldplay- Probably something to do with every seventh grader in the country being able to play the piano part that opens the song.

"A Thousand Miles" by Vanessa Carlton- See above.

"Bad to the Bone" by George Thorogood- I blame it being used as the go-to song to put in movie trailers.

Pretty much everything by Evanescence. They got played on the radio so much I simply wound up despising them.

No no, this thread asks for songs. Evanescence is a chick whining about the fact that no one likes her set to a guitar rift.

Even the few good new popular songs out there quickly grow tiresome for me... because they are popular, which means they get played approximately seventeen times a day.

with a healthy serving of Jesus, no less. Goddamn, I can't believe I wasted $15 on that disc.

Pretty much every Billy Joel song ever written.

Jesus is like the soy source of the music industry. It gets added when they run out of better ideas.

oh, I almost forgot: Redneck Woman GAHHHHH! DIE! I make mix discs for my wife to listen to in the car, and I included that song on one, and every time i drive the black car that goddamn disc is in the player. *Blows up Gretchen Wilson as well as most of Missouri.

Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Chili Can Carne.

Anything by Natalie Imbruglia, Will Smith, Green Day, or Lenny Kravitz.

That one Country song with the words "Way on down by the Chattanooch, it gets hotter than a Hootchey Cooch."

(I know my tastes are about 7 years out of date, but I purposely avoid the radio as much as I can, now.)

You thought that was a good song to begin with? At some point, you convinced yourself "wow, this isn't a total piece of shit"?

All Star by Smash Mouth, I haven't heard that song since middle school yet I can still recite the lyrics.

EDIT: Oh and most Green Day songs that make it to the radio.

I think it had something to do with the fact that Gretchen Wilson is hot as fuck... in a hillbilly sort of way. Also, I really don't listen to country (maybe the occasional George Jones or Kenny Rogers) so I'm not really a good judge of shit-kickin' music to begin with.

This doesn't happen to me often, as I don't listen to the radio. All the music I listen to is word of mouth type stuff.

Definitely helps

Rammstien Freur frei, or frankly most of their shock rock stuff. They've rather bizarrly moved on to some more interesting stuff.

The acoustic version of Layla by Eric Clapton.

"Halleluja" (sp) by Rufus Wrainwright (sp again.)

I used to love it; it was great in Shrek. Then all of a sudden, everyone was playing that goddamn song and it just began to grate on me like I was chedder at a fat person's house.

Boulevard of Broken Dreams - GreenDay.

It's a good song...unstil somebody puts a radio in the girl's bathroom of my dorm (by which I lived) and the radio station sees fit to play it at EVERY SINGLE OPPORTUNITY of EVERY day!

I'll also have to add ELO's "Don't Bring Me Down", though it wouldn't have gotten annoying nearly as fast if I knew who the hell they were talking about when they said "Don't bring me down, Bruce". And even if I did, it would still be a wierd lyric to me.

Bryan Adams - Every Thing I Do I Do It For You or Wet Wet Wet - Love Is All Arround, both great songs, yet both spent so long at #1 i grew to hate them.

Pretty much every Billy Joel song ever written.

Hey, I could listen to We Didn't Start the Fire until my ears bleed and be happy.
