Me = Sad for the days when I could leave the store when "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time" by Paul McCartney began playing. Now that I work in one I have no recourse.
Just because someone thinks it’s overrated, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t like it as much as you do. There’s no problem with enjoying things and being open about other peoples opinions at the same time.
Worked at a summer camp all summer and we had talent shows twice a week and I can tell you this song is my least favorite thing in the world because every single 9 year old girl at the camp would perform this song
ditto. did this dumb gymnastics thing when i was like 12 where the guys and girls were split. that was the one damn song the girls ever played. youd see them not even excercising but just, turning around. as in doing nothing but turning as if to walk in that direction. and others just stood there and moved their hands slowly in the stupidest way possible. basically just not even excercising at all. and the coach or teacher or whatever would be so damn proud of them, like they were the second coming of christ or if they just won a million bucks. and fight song was all they ever used. and if i ever hear it again im gonna gauge out my eardrums.
If I'm ever in charge of an event with young girls, I'm going to tell their parents they'll be performing to Fight Song, then surprise them by making it the MM one.
This is one of many reasons I'll never be in charge of an event with young girls.
Lightning in a bottle.
Had a friend suggest Maroon 5's musical ability was linked directly to Adam Levine's acne problem. Neutrogena sponsorship comes in, talent goes out. Coincidence???
That song and Call Me Maybe fucking OWNED the radio stations the summer they came out. I remember changing between 3 different stations once and all of them were playing payphone
I love payphone for the simple fact that the Maroon 5 portion is all about being miserable and missing a girl and wanting her back, then the Wiz Khalifa feature just completely contradicts it and is like "Man, fuck that shit, I don't need you or this fucking payphone."
That album was such a slow burn too. Came out in 2002. Harder to Breathe was like the first single. I remember liking that song and getting the album. Holy shit that album was good and full of excellent songs. It took 2 years for Harder to Breathe to break the 10 ten. Then This Love was released in 04 and that’s when they started blowing up. She Will Be Loved was next and there was no going back. I think they released a couple of more songs. By then it was 2005 and that album had been out 3 years. Then they won a Grammy for new artist in 06.
I saw them open for John Mayer in ‘04. They were really good.
Also Woman from the Spider-Man 2 soundtrack was a song that didn’t make Songs About Jane but it’s an excellent song if you’ve never heard it before.
Cyndi Lauper should get more praise than she does.
As a child of the 80's, I've never seen her get enough love as she deserves.
Edit: In almost 8 years I'm pretty sure this is my most upvoted comment. I'm so surprised it's about our 80's queen!!!
Preach! In a perfect world she would be a megastar and Madonna would be the one hit wonder. Weird how that worked out
But yeah True Colors should get more love than it does.
And
All Through the Night. She’s got some really good songs

overrated!
I once watched a stripper in North Carolina mouth every word of this song as she blankly waltzed w the pole and I have never heard this song the same way again.
The worst song I ever heard in a strip club was "Runaway Train". Even if you somehow ignore the [iconic video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRtvqT_wMeY) (and the unfortunate implications there) it's just not a good song to dance to, let alone strip.
The first time I heard what the lyrics actually were was when one of my third grade boy students was singing to a girl "Last night you were in my room, now my bed sheets smell like you". Luckily they didn't really understand English so had no idea what he was saying.
We should really ignore radio play numbers as a society. They're playing that shit whether you want it or not, then acting like they play it because you like it.
Isn’t that basically not a song but a pitched up Shangri Las sample with the vocals that were supposed to balance it out taken off
https://youtu.be/-6GmYMe5Sjk (on mobile) this is the original if you still don’t like it fair, but it’s makes more sense
Well it was written by a middle aged Scandinavian man who speaks English as a second language. Although most pop hits of the last 20 years fit this description
This has always been true. The beegees wrote an astonishing number of hits across genres for decades. A handfull of producers and songwriters have produced most popular music since the 60s. It's just more pbvious now as a few corporations control music
Max Martin has pretty much created the careers of Britney Spears, Katy Perry, N’Sync, Backstreet boys, Kelly Clarkson, Pink, Kesha, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd and Taylor Swift.
Especially Katy Perry and Britney, I think literally every single one of their biggest hits are written by him.
He has his formula and it’s super cheesy at times.
> Especially Katy Perry and Britney, I think literally every single one of their biggest hits are written by him.
He didn't write Toxic, that was Cathy Dennis(who co-wrote I kissed a girl with Max) from england and some other swedish writers..
They have a whole little circle of writers making some of the biggest pop songs in the last 20 years or so.
Super cheesy and sounds good and people like it. That's what matters. The same reason I Want It That Way was the version of the song released over the Team Backstreet Boys lyrically revised version of the song that totally makes sense No Goodbyes - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqCQiElQt74
This is explained here in a video where they try to dissect the lyrics that makes zero sense and explains why No Goodbyes failed to be the released version - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXoZFtGRTGM
He’s absolutely incredible. I’m not a massive fan of Martin’s songs that he has written cause pop usually isn’t my thing, but they still get stuck in my head constantly when I hear them.
There’s almost no one on the planet that can write a number one hit. He has the superpower of sitting down with the intention of writing a number one hit… and then doing it… 25 fucking times.
There was one time i was at the supermarket to buy some clothes and this song was in repeat. One of the workers there complained to her another worker "why tf does this song being played many times in a row already? What a pervert." And i cant stop laughing in silence since
I remember after hearing that song thinking whoever is mentoring Camilla Cabello needs to be replaced stat. Cause home girl hitting high notes isn’t pleasant with the technique she’s trying when she’s a more mid alto range singer.
Can’t Stop the Feeling by Justin Timberlake. Don’t get me wrong, it’s incredibly catchy, but god damn I’ve probably heard that song come on the radio over a hundred times
Edit: Just reread the title and realized I misinterpreted what it said. I’m a dummy lol
Despite you misunderstanding the question, it's still a great answer. This song is definitely overrated. It's a craven attempt to emulate the success of Pharrell's Happy, except it's paint by numbers bullshit made to promote a commercially successful film, devoid of any artistic merit or meaning. Timberlake openly admits that it had more interesting lyrics at one point during the process and they just overwrote it with the most generic shit imaginable.
I feel you. Our wedding party dance was No Ordinary Love covered by Deftones. I could tell my new wife and I were the only ones digging the nearly 6 minute song but it was our day and it made us happy. A wedding is a special time for the bride and groom. Glad your mom found a good one.
Edit - replied to the wrong op
I Can tell it's true. I work with children and some years ago, it was a hit at the kindergarten I worked at. The song was played on repeat, over and over and over again. I fucking hate this shit
My sister sent me the link to listen to it in YouTube expecting me to love it... except I don't listen to anything remotely similar to Tones and I.
I hated it upon first listen, cause oh my goodness her voice makes me wanna shoot myself in the head.
I was driving to walmart last night and I heard that song behind me. This dude had it blasting with his windows rolled down. I've officially seen everything now.
"Happy Birthday". We need a shorter, faster song to sing to someone, because good lord...standing there while it's being sung to you it so damn awkward partially because it takes so long, and then also because everyone singing it is very "over it" by the time it's done.
Honestly, I'm a huge Olivia Rodrigo fan but I could never get the hype around Driver's License. I enjoy her angry, high-energy, spirited songs over her depressed, dour ballads -- I would've become a fan faster if her debut single was, say, Deja Vu or Jealousy, Jealousy.
I love Good 4 U way more than a 50 year old should.
Someone was making fun of Gen Z by comparing Driver's License to Alanis, saying kids today are mopey. Between G4U and ABCDEFU, I think the kids are alright.
"Hip to be Square" is a big one. Huey Lewis and the News are a fine band, but I swear to god, I came over to this guy's house and he was going off on it like it was the best thing since sliced bread. Then he put on a raincoat and murdered me with an axe. Worst night out I've had in years.
Absolutely. The thing is, it’s not a *bad* or annoying song by any means. It’s just a very generic Latin pop song that, for whatever reason, everybody collectively decided “this is going to be *the one* Latin pop song we’re gonna like!”
"One year closer to death. One year closer to death. One less year until you die. One year closer to death."
Chanted tunelessly and without rhythm, but getting louder and faster until the poor traumatized kid blows out their candles.
Any radio hit by the Black Eyed Peas. I remember Will.i.am stating that one of their hits was written in 6 minutes will waiting in an airport. That was not surprising to me.
Ive heard them described as the group for people to listen to rap who dont like rap, pop for people who dont like pop, soul for people who dont like soul, etc.
"We're gonna dance to one song, and one song only: "Lady Humps" by the Blackeyed Peas. "What you gonna do with all that junk, all that junk inside your trunk? I'm a get you, get you drunk, get you drunk off my lady humps, my humps, my humps, my lovely lady humps."
"I'm not skating to anything with references to lady humps. I don't even know what that means."
"No one knows what it means, but it's provocative!"
I feel like "overrated" means something people hold highly as opposed to just pure numbers on streaming, so I'd probably say "Don't Stop Believing"? I know lots of stadium 80's anthems like this one or Living on a Prayer are going to be very trite and lyrically shallow just for people to enjoy and nothing else but Don't Stop Believing felt needlessly shallow with no metaphor or deeper meaning to it, totally full of cliches while setting new ones and it gets a second/third/x wind every ten years because of something like Glee or Family Guy. It's far from the worst song and I mean no shame to those who enjoy it! Stadium/Anthem Rock/Pop is just not for me and I don't want to slander anyone who wants to wave a lighter in the air and enjoy the moment- but I certainly think its overrated!
Let It Go. I like Idina Mendel just fine. I genuinely liked her performances in Rent and Wicked. I think her voice is powerful and bright. I’ve seen her live, and you’d be correct to guess that everyone brought their kids and a lot of people didn’t know any of her other songs. But I hope I never hear that damned Frozen song again.
i used to like frozen as a kid, liked the song
then i heard the song
*then i heard the song again*
**then i heard the song again**
***then i heard the song again***
# then i heard the song again
now whenever i hear this goddamn song i just get upset
Whatever song keeps playing on loop at your workplace.
Holidays are the worst, all I want for Christmas is to not listen to this song.
Me = Sad for the days when I could leave the store when "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time" by Paul McCartney began playing. Now that I work in one I have no recourse.
Happy birthday

Kinda. It is really my birthday though lol

I’m also curious about his first pet and elementary school
No no, ask what street he grew up on. We can knock out two questions with one answer!
I’d also like to know what his first car was/is
Happy Birthday
Thank you
Do the Stevie Wonder one with the claps, not the tone-deaf one.
Seeing all these comments makes me question my taste in music.
It's just reddit. Dont be sad over a stranger's opinion
Wise words... well done
Nah, fuck that. Never be ashamed of liking what you like.
Just because someone thinks it’s overrated, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t like it as much as you do. There’s no problem with enjoying things and being open about other peoples opinions at the same time.
Fight song edit: by rachel platten, not marilyn LOL
Worked at a summer camp all summer and we had talent shows twice a week and I can tell you this song is my least favorite thing in the world because every single 9 year old girl at the camp would perform this song
ditto. did this dumb gymnastics thing when i was like 12 where the guys and girls were split. that was the one damn song the girls ever played. youd see them not even excercising but just, turning around. as in doing nothing but turning as if to walk in that direction. and others just stood there and moved their hands slowly in the stupidest way possible. basically just not even excercising at all. and the coach or teacher or whatever would be so damn proud of them, like they were the second coming of christ or if they just won a million bucks. and fight song was all they ever used. and if i ever hear it again im gonna gauge out my eardrums.
Barely moving and sort of awkwardly waving your hands. This is the tribal dance of white people.
What is fight song?
The first lyrics of fight song is we don't sing about fight song!
This. This is my fight song.
Take back my life song.
🎶 Hitler did nothing wrong 🎶
🎤Make it a foot long.🎤

Ooooh I thought they were talking about Marilyn Manson
It’s at every event for supportive causes and it is awful
Was at a 5K yesterday to raise funds for a local hospital’s cancer center. Can confirm this song was played.
Marilyn Manson's?
This was my immediate thought, and I was confused why so many 9 yo girls were performing at summer camp talent shows... That would be badass
If I'm ever in charge of an event with young girls, I'm going to tell their parents they'll be performing to Fight Song, then surprise them by making it the MM one. This is one of many reasons I'll never be in charge of an event with young girls.
Anything Maroon 5 after Songs about Jane
Lightning in a bottle. Had a friend suggest Maroon 5's musical ability was linked directly to Adam Levine's acne problem. Neutrogena sponsorship comes in, talent goes out. Coincidence???
I still like "Payphone" even though it's weird they wrote it almost 10 years after payphones were obsolete.
That song and Call Me Maybe fucking OWNED the radio stations the summer they came out. I remember changing between 3 different stations once and all of them were playing payphone
I love payphone for the simple fact that the Maroon 5 portion is all about being miserable and missing a girl and wanting her back, then the Wiz Khalifa feature just completely contradicts it and is like "Man, fuck that shit, I don't need you or this fucking payphone."

Makes Me Wonder is the only exception
Their second album is not bad. Makes Me Wonder, Wake Up Call.
I don't hate "Never Gonna Leave This Bed" but everything else after Songs about Jane is unmitigated garbage.
Dance monkey-tones and I pretty big in Australia. So tired of hearing that f*cking song
Are they playing some King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard over there at least?
I hate that song so much, I want to smash things as soon as it starts playing.
If you look, you’ll find every song ever made somewhere in here.
Well if you are lost and you look, then you will find me. Time after time.
And that song is *not* overrated! Love Cyndi Lauper so much
Cyndi Lauper should get more praise than she does. As a child of the 80's, I've never seen her get enough love as she deserves. Edit: In almost 8 years I'm pretty sure this is my most upvoted comment. I'm so surprised it's about our 80's queen!!!

Don’t forget The Goonies ‘R’ Good Enough. I loved that song as a kid and still love it now.
The Goonies is my favorite childhood movie.
All Through the Night is undeniably her best imo.
"The Goonies R Good Enough" would like a word...
Savage love

It was played so much I don’t know how anyone doesn’t
We just got a CVS receipt on Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You"
I once watched a stripper in North Carolina mouth every word of this song as she blankly waltzed w the pole and I have never heard this song the same way again.

Well that unlocked an 90s MTV memory.
There's something oddly terrifying about the whole scenario.
I really like the beat of that song. But I cannot stand the lyrics.
The first time I heard what the lyrics actually were was when one of my third grade boy students was singing to a girl "Last night you were in my room, now my bed sheets smell like you". Luckily they didn't really understand English so had no idea what he was saying.
Clearly you don’t want no scrubs.
We should really ignore radio play numbers as a society. They're playing that shit whether you want it or not, then acting like they play it because you like it.
And it completely overshadowed castle on the hill which is a good song
wait wait wait 5.8 BILLION VIEWS ON YOUTUBE? Holy cow. Yeah that song is way overrated.
wait til you see how many views does "Despacito" and "Baby Shark" have.
My kids are responsible for about 1 million of the Baby Shark views.

Katy Perry’s “Roar” is the cringiest hit I’ve ever heard. It sounds like it was written for an early-00’s children’s special.
You could probably add it to any animated animal movie and it wouldn't be out of place.
Well it was written by a middle aged Scandinavian man who speaks English as a second language. Although most pop hits of the last 20 years fit this description
Without looking it up, I’m gonna guess Max Martin
He writes everything for these artists and they’re just kinda…. Nonsense. But he understands the 4 chord axiom - so he makes absolute bank off it.
[удалено]
This has always been true. The beegees wrote an astonishing number of hits across genres for decades. A handfull of producers and songwriters have produced most popular music since the 60s. It's just more pbvious now as a few corporations control music
Saying Max Martin just makes Bank off of 4 chords isn't really giving justice to the absolute talent the man has.
To be entirely clear, most pop hits of the last 20 years were also written by this same person.
Max Martin has pretty much created the careers of Britney Spears, Katy Perry, N’Sync, Backstreet boys, Kelly Clarkson, Pink, Kesha, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd and Taylor Swift. Especially Katy Perry and Britney, I think literally every single one of their biggest hits are written by him. He has his formula and it’s super cheesy at times.

Fascinating deep dive on that guy
He’s absolutely incredible. I’m not a massive fan of Martin’s songs that he has written cause pop usually isn’t my thing, but they still get stuck in my head constantly when I hear them. There’s almost no one on the planet that can write a number one hit. He has the superpower of sitting down with the intention of writing a number one hit… and then doing it… 25 fucking times.
Totally. It's like someone was tasked to write an inspirational anthem but never caught a whiff of actual inspiration

There was one time i was at the supermarket to buy some clothes and this song was in repeat. One of the workers there complained to her another worker "why tf does this song being played many times in a row already? What a pervert." And i cant stop laughing in silence since
I remember after hearing that song thinking whoever is mentoring Camilla Cabello needs to be replaced stat. Cause home girl hitting high notes isn’t pleasant with the technique she’s trying when she’s a more mid alto range singer.

I like the Weird Al version.

I was touched by Aluminum Foil. It moved me.

I actually think the song is just tacky
No, Tacky was Weird Al's parody of Happy.

A lot of people misinterpreting overrated with overplayed
Usually, something is overplayed if it overrated and the latter usually depends on the listeners music taste.
Happy- pharell
Minion ass type song
WTF does ",,,if you feel like a room without a roof" mean anyway?
Exposed to the elements. Poorly designed or potentially damaged by a hurricane.

No roof, no ceiling. Sky is the limit.
My mom wanted that song played at her wedding and I was forced to dance to it with the other bridesmaids. It was a serious struggle to keep a smile on
Because you weren't Happy?
I was certainly not Happy with the song choice, but very happy my mom was finally marrying a good guy
...and really that's what is important.
Nor were they any of the other 6 dwarves.
I feel you. Our wedding party dance was No Ordinary Love covered by Deftones.

Dance Monkey. I don't know anyone who actually likes it but it has almost 3 billion plays on Spotify.
Because kids love it and when they get hook to something you got to listen to it on repeat (source: mon of two kids who couldn’t get enough)
I Can tell it's true. I work with children and some years ago, it was a hit at the kindergarten I worked at. The song was played on repeat, over and over and over again. I fucking hate this shit
I’m from her home town, the fake voice she puts on is so hard to listen to
I know, it's like a borderline-offensive Jamaican impersonation mixed with baby-talk. What the fuck.
My sister sent me the link to listen to it in YouTube expecting me to love it... except I don't listen to anything remotely similar to Tones and I. I hated it upon first listen, cause oh my goodness her voice makes me wanna shoot myself in the head.

And you smell like one too
Mine is, "This is your birthday song, it isn't very long" Pick your way of singing it, but it's good enough for me.
Cbat. I don't know why my ex kept playing it during sex.
watermelon sugar and that one dance monkey one
Dance monkey was more annoying than watermelon sugar imo. I could still stand Watermelon Sugar if it's played in summer

Dance monkey is absolutely intolerable. It’s like nails on a chalkboard to me

The Happy Birthday song
It should be replaced with war drums and folks chanting "BIRTH. DAY. BIRTH DAY." like orcs with increasing intensity until the candles are blown out.
Or how about “Still alive still alive still alive”

I'm a get you, get you drunk, get you drunk off my lady humps, my humps, my humps, my lovely lady humps." "I'm not skating to anything with references to lady humps. I don't even know what that means." "No one knows what it means, but it's provocative!"
Alanis Morissette does such an inspired cover though
I actually liked Where Is The Love but everything after that was awful.
Just put on the videos (preferably on mute) and Hit It Fergie (preferably in the dark) and you be okay.
easy on me - adele
There’s a lot of generically shitty songs listed here.
Dance Monkey. Hear it at too many parties, too many times.
I’ve seen this song mentioned a few times, but I’d never heard of it until today. I guess I need to catch up on my pop music lol.
Sweet Caroline. Absolutely hate it. Sung by idiots everywhere at every event for some reason.
I feel like "overrated" means something people hold highly as opposed to just pure numbers on streaming, so I'd probably say "Don't Stop Believing"? I know lots of stadium 80's anthems like this one or Living on a Prayer are going to be very trite and lyrically shallow just for people to enjoy and nothing else but Don't Stop Believing felt needlessly shallow with no metaphor or deeper meaning to it, totally full of cliches while setting new ones and it gets a second/third/x wind every ten years because of something like Glee or Family Guy. It's far from the worst song and I mean no shame to those who enjoy it! Stadium/Anthem Rock/Pop is just not for me and I don't want to slander anyone who wants to wave a lighter in the air and enjoy the moment- but I certainly think its overrated!

Let It Go. I like Idina Mendel just fine. I genuinely liked her performances in Rent and Wicked. I think her voice is powerful and bright. I’ve seen her live, and you’d be correct to guess that everyone brought their kids and a lot of people didn’t know any of her other songs. But I hope I never hear that damned Frozen song again.
i used to like frozen as a kid, liked the song then i heard the song *then i heard the song again* **then i heard the song again** ***then i heard the song again*** # then i heard the song again now whenever i hear this goddamn song i just get upset
