Songs you loved at first but came to resent due to overplay? :/

Forgive me if this very thread has already been started and feel free to merge it with an already existing thread if this one already exists.

Human by The Human League used to be my favorite song in the whole world (It's haunting, chilling, beautiful, enthralling)until an 80's Music Channel overplayed it and I actually begun to resent it. It's been years since I heard that 80's Music Channel do that to Human and to this day ,Human is just one of my favorite songs in the whole world, and no longer my sole favorite song in the whole world thanks to that 80's Music Channel overplaying it.

Yeah, I don't get how these radio stations play the same 50 songs when they have a large catalog to choose from by default. It was the same way at an oldies station I used to listen to in the nineties. For me, the song I dread because of overplay is Love Potion No 9 by the Searchers.

About Love Potion Number 9, a long time ago, I misheard the lyrics as,"Love Potion of the night! LMAO!

I'm beginning to resent Hopelessly Devoted To You by Olivia Newton-John. After her death, my local radio station has been playing this song quite considerably. It's a beautiful song, but overplaying is not cool.

There is so much 80's stuff that gets (over) played in my supermarket sometimes I wanna scream.

"Paralyzer," by Finger 11, was a good groove...at first.

Though I've never liked sappy music, we need more lyrics like that with all the songs saying men are useless that get radio play these days.

Everything overplayed on the radio in the last 30 or so years that I used to love at first but then got so overplayed it drives me crazy! haha!!

I love my 80's and early 90's club music (my favorite music is 80's style electronic disco/dance up through to the early-mid 90's euro house)...but I tend to prefer more obscure songs opposed to massively popular ones about every time...

Two Of Hearts by Stacey Q used to be a big favorite, but the massive radio play has tarnished that lol...

I still like We Connect though...It's not played as often thankfully.
