Songs You're Sick Of

[davis]

John Lennon - Imagine
Any/All solo Ozzy Osbourne
CCR except for Born on the Bayou

[spellbound]

Everything by Billy Joel. I'm not saying the man has no talent; it's not easy writing catchy hit songs and he's good at it. But I don't want to hear them, and the thread title is "Songs You're Sick Of," so there's mine.

[emoji38] I've always hated that song and I hate it even more now.

Surely mentioned already, but Garth Brooks - Friends in Low Places. When people start singing along to this in bars it makes me regret not carrying rat poison...

...and John Denver - Take Me Home Country Roads. When people start singing along to this it makes me regret not carrying anthrax.

Don't You (Forget About Me) - Simple Minds

Ha, yea that is the song from the "Caddyshack" movie. Way overplayed.

[Zeuhlmate]

That Champion song by Queen.
Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah no matter who performs it.

I used to love that Hallelujah song, but it has been so overdone by so many people that I am way over it now.

[Rarebird]

I used to love that Hallelujah song, but it has been so overdone by so many people that I am way over it now.

I still love the Hallelujah song, but it depends on who is singing it.

[Vic2012]

Here's one.....Nena ... 99 Luft Balloons.

[SteveSly]

I still love the Hallelujah song, but it depends on who is singing it.

Good point.

[Progbear]

I still love the Hallelujah song, but it depends on who is singing it.

I don't know that I've ever heard it.

[SteveSly]

I don't know that I've ever heard it.

It was originally written and recorded by Leonard Cohen in 1984, but was not a hit for him. It was covered by John Cale in the early 90’s and then Jeff Buckley did a version of it that became popular a few years later. Since then it has been recorded by a bunch of different artists over the years. It is also a song that shows up on every season of the major singing talent shows like American Idol, The Voice, AGT, and others. There is actually a whole documentary film about the song that came out last year that I found very interesting. But......I have heard it so much that I am burned out on it. Here is a live version of Cohen’s original:

I like the John Cale version, but in a way it is played to death by all those people on all those talent-shows.

At the end of last year we had a Top 2000 with listeners of a radiostation voting for the songs they liked best. It's a kind of tradition and last year it was the 25th edition. Bohemian rhapsody has been on number 1 in 20 editions. (also a tradition). Last year there were 3 versions of Hallelujah. The hightest position was Leonard Cohen, then Jeff Buckley an the lowest was some participant on some talent-show.

Fleetwood.....You Can Go Your Own Way. Yeah I like it. I'm sick of it. It's playing right now at this pub I'm at.....lol

[Czyszy]

Yes - Roundabout due to its meme usage.

[Vic2012]

I just heard......Bolton....How Am I Supposed to Live Without You.

I wanna rip my ears off.....

[alucard]

Depends a lot on the context, some songs that I wouldn't listen too are quite fun to sing in a Karaoke bar with friends...when I was a student I worked in a big supermarket , they had a French week and there was a 30 minutes tape with French songs playing for one whole week the entire day...Edith Piaf's " Je ne regrette rien" really freaked me out every time it came back again....

[Progbear]

Thought of another one out shopping this week: "The Joker" by Steve Miller. I definitely don't need to hear it ever again!

After college I worked as a busboy for the Marriott in Providence. The lounge, open to the restaurant, booked show-bands for one- to two-week performances. The Angels played there 6 nights a week for 2 weeks. I heard "My Boyfriend's Back" 4 times a night, opening and closing each set, for those 2 weeks. Even though I believe it to be a stellar example of the girl-group era, I need not ever hear it again. Oh, and their jokes, in the same order each set each night, were horrendous.
