I think officially its "Yesterday" by the Beatles.

This is technically the correct answer since there have been more recorded versions of this song than any other. Ever.

On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

DH and I play this...but we break it down into 2 categories, songs that are overplayed in their time and songs that need to be "retired." Retired: American Pie Overplayed: My Heart Will Go On And although I may be alone in this, there was a song in the 80's from the movie White Nights by Phil Collins called Separate Lives-I remember I turned from radio station to radio station and it was on 4 stations at the same time!

Agreed. Legendary song, a true classic. But I need to go a minimum of 5 years between hearings. Must not only be retired but excommunicated from all karaoke bars.

Overplayed: My Heart Will Go On

Way overplayed. Maybe this should go in that cheesy thread, but I actually like a few of her songs. But she always loses me at the key change, when her songs go from ballad to belting.

You are not alone. PC seemed to have knack for hit songs for obscure movies (see "Groovy Kind of Love" and "Against all odds"). I would like it if he quit doing stupid movie songs and recorded with Genesis. (Although I do have to admit that "Against All Odds (Take a look at me now") is one of his best efforts ever because he sings with such emotion.)

On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

Maybe someone should tell Phil to HTFU.

I think maybe just songs on Disney movie soundtracks...?

I think the most overplayed song is relative to what you are exposed to. I have young kids, so the entire soundtracks to High School Musical and High School Musical 2 are definitely the most overplayed songs in my household right now. I'm not sure which is worse - Zac Efron or the Wiggles. I'm very happy to be out of the Barney phase, though. I guess that's one more reason I love to run - I get to listen to music that isn't featured on the Disney Channel!

I think to qualify in the upper echelons of overplayed, it needs to be overpayed for many, many years.

Well, for us, it seems to be YEARS that we hear the song our son wants to hear. does that count Other than that, I have not thought about anything else.

If the subject was Most.Overplayed.Song.Ever.At.Races. there would be no contest. "Eye of the Tiger". I don't care if I NEVER hear that song again.
