    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.

    Anything by fucking Imagine Dragons. More like imagine dragging myself behind my Cadillac for 6 blocks, it’d be more pleasant

      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

    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.

    I love the song Harper Valley PTA. Great song. Very fun.

    Once, before smartphones, on a car trip, one of sang the first few lines, and then neither of us could remember the rest. We then got lost, and spent the next 8+ hours driving before we got home. The entire fucking time it was stuck in our heads, with no respite. Just “I wanna tell you all a story 'bout a Harper Valley widow’d wife” on repeat. Over. And over. And over. And over again.

    Once we got home and played, we naively assumed it was over. Alas, our brains had been conditioned. It was there for good. For 2 fucking weeks, it rattled around my skull and my mother’s skull, relentlessly. Listening to it didn’t help, not listening to it didn’t help. Listening to other music didn’t help. Sleep didn’t help. It was the eternal intro. I thought I was going insane.

    I cannot listen to that song anymore.

    Angie Baby got stuck once pretty bad, too, but nothing like Harper Valley PTA
