“Somebody That I Used to Know” by Gotye.
Was played seemingly every hour back when I worked retail. Both in the store I worked in and many others. So incredibly overplayed.
2nd place would be any of Queen’s absurdly overplayed songs. I don’t even hear them as music anymore; they’re just annoying noise.
literally none lol
Not even “All I Want For Christmas Is You”
I love that song unironically :)
A classmate long ago suggested, while we were learning about WW2, replacing You with Jews.
I can’t listen to that song without that memory popping in my head. It’s a bad song anyway but…
Anything by fucking Imagine Dragons. More like imagine dragging myself behind my Cadillac for 6 blocks, it’d be more pleasant
The national anthem
Butthole Surfers - Pepper is great, but it certainly brings intrusive thoughts with it:
Aha, I’m onto you. I won’t invite any of those songs to enter my mind and rattle around in there for the rest of the day by thinking about them. Good try, though.
Ahhhh! Curse you, some_guy! You foiled my great plan yet again. One day I will succeed and make you remember these songs! Muahahaha!!!
Pepper by Butthole Surfers
Here’s the album art for Electriclarryland. I made the mistake of clicking on wiki article that inspired it. Wouldn’t recommend.
The dance monkey song.
There are no songs that would make me stab myself in the ear.
Blinding lights
Rap songs where the artist just blurts out random words.

You’re a monster
Knocking on heavens door - guns n roses
What, you don’t enjoy a bunch of sleepy whiny junkies self-indulgently wailing through a three chord Bob Dylan cover for 15 minutes? Man, weren’t nineties arena rock great.
Shake it Off by Taylor Swift
I don’t know the name of it, but the one that goes “it’s all about that bass, no treble”.
These were both extremely popular at the same time at a point when I was frequently going to the gym. If I spent 90 minutes at the gym, I would hear both of these songs three times. I absolutely cannot stand them. I disliked the second one from the beginning and didn’t care for the first, and then I heard each of them dozens and dozens of times over just a couple of months.
All about that bass, by Meghan Trainor. Really did get played to death in popular media.
Not that I would ever literally do that over a song, but basically anything grating like death metal and scremo, as well as disturbed’s cover of “sound of silence” all make me want to get away from that abusive noise as fast as possible. About as close as normal decibel sound can get to physical pain for me.
