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

                  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.


                      Gotta TRI

                        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.
