Don't Stop Me Now/We Will Rock You/Bohemian Rhapsody-Queen
Smoke On The Water-Deep Purple
Angels-Robbie Williams
American Pie-Don Mclean

finally kills off Pink Floyd's cash register front-loaded opus 'Money', especially as the sound bed for clever news reports on the recession.
My most hated is 'Hi-Ho Silver bastard Lining'
Having worked in Irish pubs and clubs for most of my adolescence, I want to banish the following to their rooms wearing adult diapers:
'Rhinestone Cowboy'
'Don't It Make My Brown Eyes'
'My Way'
Just to surprise Dougie J, I'd like to call last ordures on 'The Fields of Athenry'which some drunk git always bellows in your lug hole anywhere Irish people gather together.

Hey Jude. I love the original, but Paul's singalong version at every gig really gets on my nerves.

"I Will Always Love You". Just shut up.

Walking On sunshine

Beloved of every bar band since the Commitments.

It's a heartache
Guantanamera
Wild boys
Living next door to Alice
Don't look back in anger
Simply the best
Money for nothing
Radio Gaga
Road to nowhere
Babylon
No woman no cry
Bright eyes
I guess that's why they call it the blues
The frigging countdown

I could go on..

If only for the way it encourages some truly awful singalongs from women when it gets played who can't singalong without pointing at their men and giving 'significant' looks.

Or is that just me?

Hot Hot Hot by Arrow has done a gruelling stint accompanying news reports about sunny weather, or anything to do with the Caribbean. Let's give the old bugger a rest eh.
I suppose there was once a time when Love Shack by The B 52s wasn't really annoying.
Kiss and Sex Bomb by Tom Jones. In fact the whole Tom Jones thing.
Much as I love him, I think I've heard Marvin Gaye singing Heard It Through The Grapevine quite enough thank you. And as for Sit Down by James ...

Come On Eileen
Dancing Queen
Love Shack
Freedom

Just so I don't have to hear them at every bloody wedding, birthday party and end-of-season sports club do that I go to!

You've got the love
In the summertime
I'm gonna be 500 miles
Knockin' on heaven's door
Sweet home Alabama

A lot of the time it isn't much of a problem, but:
Three Lions

No, I'm sorry, you can't. Not any more. Off to the retirement home with you. Where you'll no doubt bump into a couple of other Simon & Garfunkel chestnuts.

If it's 4.37am somewhere in the world then a commercial radio station will be playing Dancing In The Moonlight.

Man On The Moon / Losing My Religion by R.E.M. Used to love these songs when I first heard them but constant radio plays have made them meaningless and tedius now.

used EVERY time there's more than two women on screen.

Don't Stop Believing by Journey should be laid to rest now.

Reet Petite must be killed.

Another vote for Walking On Sunshine

If I ever hear Don't You Want Me again It'll be too soon.

And anything at all by the Gyspsy Kings.

Girl from Ipanema
Imagine
Yesterday
in fact everything by the Beatles - no one has any need to hear them any more. they've been played to death.

I dislike all of this charlatan's singles output intensely (his albums might be OK but I wouldn't know because I'd never buy one), but Livin' On A Prayer by Bon Jovi is the one that sticks in my craw the most.

is definitely grimmer than grim. As is Angels. And, yes, Here Come The Girls makes me want to eat my fist.

What about:
I Feel Good
The theme from Friends
The Power Of Love (J Rush,FGTH or Huey Lewis songs -all dreadful)
Bat Out Of Hell
Sweet Child Of Mine
Wonderwall
Shiney Happy People
You Raise Me Up/Wind Beneath My Wings/Flying Without Bloody Wings/Singing Without Tunes etc etc etc

It's not really that old, but I think Song 2 has more than earned the residential fees for the retirement home.

I don't ever want to hear We Are The Champions at the end of any final ever again, but more than that I don't want to hear Simply The Best played at any football ground in any division at any time.

Dont You Want Me
and Stairway To Heaven was wearing depends last time I checked!

The entire Heart FM playlist. Please.

If I hear Pppppppppoker Face one more time, I will go insane.

In it's two years existence it must have had more exposure than Slade's back catalogue.

Also pulling on the bingo wings and into the loo's with the red cord.....

Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go
Tainted Love
Love is All Around
5-4-3-2-1
A Whiter Shade of Pale

Great tunes but worthy of the bus pass...

... you inevitably hear either "Motorbikin" or "Born To Be Wild".

...and it's Nick Drake...

Chasing F**king Cars.

There's a few too many great rock tunes ruined by overexposure. As mentioned above, Don't Stop Believin' and Sweet Home Alabama top the list. More Than A Feeling is heading the same way. I just fear the day that the manic eye of Glee alights upon some of my cherished gems. Not Don't Fear The Reaper.. please, no.. have my soul..

The irony is, I suppose, that the original songwriters must be turning cartwheels. Imagine the cheques, even in these changing times, due to land on Neal Schon's and Steve Perry's doormats.

used to be done to death on the talent shows. Now it's died a death Without You or anything
(s)Careyfied with the possibility of being melismatic seem to have taken its place. Even I Will Always Love You was a passable little ditty in the hands of Dolly Parton, I defy anyone not to have a damp eye listening to the original, now it's enough to reduce anyone to tears for different reasons.

stick it somewhere where the sun doesn't sheeiiine.

whisky in the jar
whiter shade of pale
won't get fooled again

I could go on but won't. too hideous to contemplate

anything the performer can't be arsed to sing, and knowing it's a crowd pleaser holds the mic out to the crowd. FFS, I know you've sung it a thousand times, but I paid to hear YOU sing it, not a drunken rabble. Are you listening, Mr. Diamond?

splattered out one day, spat on, p*ssed in and then called "The Lady in Red."

one has to bid a sad farewell and kiss goodnight to Len's "Hallelujah"..thanks a million Simon Cowell...
