    Shake it Off by Taylor Swift

    I don’t know the name of it, but the one that goes “it’s all about that bass, no treble”.

    These were both extremely popular at the same time at a point when I was frequently going to the gym. If I spent 90 minutes at the gym, I would hear both of these songs three times. I absolutely cannot stand them. I disliked the second one from the beginning and didn’t care for the first, and then I heard each of them dozens and dozens of times over just a couple of months.

      All about that bass, by Meghan Trainor. Really did get played to death in popular media.

      These are the same ones for me too. Also Thunder and Believer by Imagine Dragons, and We Are Young by fun.

      You reminded me about that one Green Day song that played on the radio every ten minutes throughout my entire childhood. Boulevard of Broken Dreams. To this day I cannot listen to any Green Day song.

    “Somebody That I Used to Know” by Gotye.

    Was played seemingly every hour back when I worked retail. Both in the store I worked in and many others. So incredibly overplayed.

    2nd place would be any of Queen’s absurdly overplayed songs. I don’t even hear them as music anymore; they’re just annoying noise.

    Aha, I’m onto you. I won’t invite any of those songs to enter my mind and rattle around in there for the rest of the day by thinking about them. Good try, though.

    There’s this one song I keep forgetting the name of but it was super popular in the early 2000s and it was in the radio all the time. Damn I hate that song!

      If it’s alternative rock, I’d imagine it’s something off this list:

      Hoobastank - The Reason.
      Puddle of Mudd - Blurry. Also, She Hates Me.
      Evanescence - Bring Me to Life.
      Trapt - Headstrong.
      Audioslave - Like a Stone (mediocre song at best. Played non fucking stop for what felt like 5 years).
      Three Days Grace - I Hate Everything About You.
      Nickelback - How You Remind Me (specifically this one, but the rest of their discography too).
      Seether - Broken.
      Creed - With Arms Wide Open.

      Yes, such a cheese-fest of a song. Can’t help but jokingly sing along with it in the most obnoxious voice possible when it’s on.

        I did the same for Gotye - Somebody that I used to know. I thought it was such a frustratingly terrible song, I couldn’t help but mock it when it came on. I genuinely thought I was living in a world full of people lying when I’d be at a party and others would say they loved it. For like 2 years I was just like “you’re kidding right?”

          Same here with that song too, I come up with something random at the “didn’t have to…” part and belt out something equally cheesy

    Radio Gaga by Queen

    I had to hear that fucking song, on loop, non stop, for a whole week, when it was used to test the speaker systems on the cruise ship I was working aboard. You could not even escape it in your cabin while you slept. 😬

    If I heard it come on in the grocery store while looking at Lean Cuisines, it would put everyone in that store at risk.
