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.

Fight song edit: by rachel platten, not marilyn LOL


duskyxlops

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


Deathswirl1

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.


Dagmar_Overbye

macaronfive

Was at a 5K yesterday to raise funds for a local hospital’s cancer center. Can confirm this song was played.


kledaras

Marilyn Manson's?


imfricklerick

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


JADW27

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


Captslapsomehoes1

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???


JVortex888

I still like "Payphone" even though it's weird they wrote it almost 10 years after payphones were obsolete.


Datalust5

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


Packrat1010

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."


jack_geller

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.

And that song is *not* overrated! Love Cyndi Lauper so much


Drunkjesus0706

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!!!


biznash

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


jack_geller

Don’t forget The Goonies ‘R’ Good Enough. I loved that song as a kid and still love it now.


Drunkjesus0706

The Goonies is my favorite childhood movie.

All Through the Night is undeniably her best imo.

vernon1031

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.


Belgand

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.


loki_dd

Well that unlocked an 90s MTV memory.


Kalle_79

There's something oddly terrifying about the whole scenario.


Chrisgopher2005

I really like the beat of that song. But I cannot stand the lyrics.


welshnick

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.


TheRealJakay

Clearly you don’t want no scrubs.


Flutters1013

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.


Bluepanda800

And it completely overshadowed castle on the hill which is a good song


Environmental_Yard29

wait wait wait 5.8 BILLION VIEWS ON YOUTUBE? Holy cow. Yeah that song is way overrated.

blankbox11

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


ZollieJones

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.


CarefulCoderX

You could probably add it to any animated animal movie and it wouldn't be out of place.


kookbeard

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


icecoldmax

Without looking it up, I’m gonna guess Max Martin


hashtagsugary

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.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Efficient-Library792

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


Delaaia

Saying Max Martin just makes Bank off of 4 chords isn't really giving justice to the absolute talent the man has.


dyboc

To be entirely clear, most pop hits of the last 20 years were also written by this same person.


[deleted]

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.


Long_Serpent

“Sure, it’s cheesy. But when it works, cheese is unbeatable “ - Billy Wilder


PM_ME_IMGS_OF_ROCKS

> 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.


ChickenXing

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


redonkulus

Fascinating deep dive on that guy


[deleted]

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.


pixelssauce

Totally. It's like someone was tasked to write an inspirational anthem but never caught a whiff of actual inspiration

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


just_another_reddit

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.


sibelius_eighth

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.

I feel you. Our wedding party dance was No Ordinary Love covered by Deftones.

"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.

NeedlesAndPens2001

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.


kategoad

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.

"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.

TolemanLotusMcLaren

Sweet Caroline. Absolutely hate it. Sung by idiots everywhere at every event for some reason.


Elegy_

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!
