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.
Frog in boiling water
... Brown Eyed Girl is playing right this second at the pub. I like the song. I'm tired of it, but not sick of it.
Heard at the grocery store this morning:
Not sure of the title but it's that Kenny Loggins song that goes..... I'm Alright....something, something. I wanted to rip my ears off....
Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress-Hollies
"please do not understand me too quickly"-andre gide
That Champion song by Queen.
Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah no matter who performs it.
Confirmed Bachelors: the dramedy hit of 1883...
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
I just heard......Bolton....How Am I Supposed to Live Without You.
I wanna rip my ears off.....
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....

Thought of another one out shopping this week: "The Joker" by Steve Miller. I definitely don't need to hear it ever again!
Confirmed Bachelors: the dramedy hit of 1883...
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.

Looking forward to my day in court.
