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.

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.

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(I know my tastes are about 7 years out of date, but I purposely avoid the radio as much as I can, now.)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"?Col. Crackpot wrote:oh, I almost forgot: Redneck Woman GAHHHHH! DIE!

I'm studying for the CPA exam. Have a nice summer, and if you're down just sit back and realize that Joe is off somewhere, doing much worse than you are.

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.

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

"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.

"The rest of the poem plays upon that pun. On the contrary, says Catullus, although my verses are soft (molliculi ac parum pudici in line 8, reversing the play on words), they can arouse even limp old men. Should Furius and Aurelius have any remaining doubts about Catullus' virility, he offers to fuck them anally and orally to prove otherwise." - Catullus 16, Wikipedia
