Lots of recognition leads to overplaying and overplaying can only cheapen those songs that didn't have much going on behind the surface and the initial attraction in the first place, just lots of fog. Listening to that song today is extremely numbing and I'm not sure if it's comfortably so. I wish it was a bad song so that I could laugh, but it's actually really irritating in its mediocrity.
