IMO, I think this belongs in that other thread, that of worst song ever. |

A long, long time ago
In a galaxy far away
Naboo was under an attack
And I thought me and Qui-Gon Jinn
Could talk the federation into
Maybe cutting them a little slack
But their response, it didn't thrill us
They locked the doors and tried to kill us
We escaped from that gas
Then met Jar Jar and Boss Nass
We took a bongo from the scene
And we went to Theed to see the Queen
We all wound up on Tatooine
That's where we found this boy...
Oh my my this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
Did you know this junkyard slave
Isn't even old enough to shave
But he can use the Force, they say
Ahh, do you see him hitting on the queen
Though he's just nine and she's fourteen
Yah, he's probably gonna marry her someday
Well, I know he built C-3PO
And I've heard how fast his pod can go
And we were broke, it's true
So we made a wager or two
He was a prepubescent flyin' ace
And the minute Jabba started off that race
Well, I knew who would win first place
Oh yes, it was our boy
We started singin' ...
My my this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
Now we finally got to Coruscant
The Jedi Council we knew would want
To see how good the boy could be
So we took him there and we told the tale
How his midi-chlorians were off the scale
And he might fulfill that prophecy
Oh, the Council was impressed, of course
Could he bring balance to the Force?
They interview the kid
Oh, training they forbid
Because Yoda sensed in him much fear
And Qui-Gon said "Now listen here"
"Just stick it in your pointy ear"
"I still will teach this boy"
He was singin' ...
My my this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
We caught a ride back to Naboo
'Cause Queen Amidala wanted to
I frankly would've liked to stay
We all fought in that epic war
And it wasn't long at all before
Little Hotshot flew his plane and saved the day
And in the end some Gunguns died
Some ships blew up and some pilots fried
A lot of folks were croakin'
The battle droids were broken
And the Jedi I admire most
Met up with Darth Maul and now he's toast
Well, I'm still here and he's a ghost
I guess I'll train this boy
And I was singin' ...
My my this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
We were singin' ...
My my this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

Celine Dion. "My Heart Will Go On." In 1997/1998, everyone of you heard it at least 42,000 times.
Ditto Whitney Houston's version of "I Will Always Love You" in 1992. And beyond.
They don't have the long-term stamina of a "Satisfaction" or "Born to Be Wild" or "Sweet Home Alabama" .... but I suspect that in those years, they were played so frickin' much that if you averaged out plays per year, they'd be easy winners.
Also, they suck. Which "Free Bird" categorically does not. |

| But in the case of "Satisfaction" and "Sweet Home Alabama," the groups had so many more great songs - many better than their 'signature songs' - to choose from. |

| Ok, I think I see a pattern forming here. It would seem to me that most of the songs we're saying are played to death all come from either.... The "oldies" stations or the " Classic rock" stations. Most of these songs are getting pretty old ( chronologically) and therefore would seem to be overplayed as we've listened to them for 20 some odd years. MHO. |

well here is one from recent radio: Picture by Kid Rock/Cheryl Crow..great song just played way too much. for the old stuff I'd have to agree with Old Time rock and roll, and we've got tonight Bob Segar rocks but some of his most played songs have redundant lyrics...

In my era it was "Feelings" by Morris Albert. Always the last slow number.
I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned in the "worst ever" thread. |
