What song is overplayed to you?

DISCUSSION 💭

It DOES NOT have to be a song you don’t like, but just one you feel like is overplayed or ran its course with you.

My example is Can We Talk, it has been played to death around me and I can only hear it periodically and it not be annoying. it’s still a classic, I still like it. I just can keep hearing it.

Next - too close. And no diggity black street

100% x 2. I hated Next exactly because it was waaaay overplayed on the 4 radio stations we had and the music video. No diggity as well.

Too close used to be on at the club every time I went early 2000s it was then I couldnt get too close to the bar and too far from dancefloor!

“This Is How We Do It” by Montell Jordan 😂 It was the jam, but it started to grate on me real fast. It was played constantly, especially at the clubs.

Cooler than Mariah Carey's Old Curls

27d

I am tired of "Too Close". It'll take me a while to get back into that song's good graces.

Weary-Writer758

I love most R&B, but they really played this song like the Bulls played Jordan. No Diggity is good every 10 years or more.

clock5Session

26d

I (diehard 80s-90s/Teddy Riley fan) once argued with my older brother (not an old school R&B fan) that Blackstreet had 10-15+ songs better than No Diggity and he wouldn’t budge and I almost blew my brains out

Justice989

Can We Talk does seem to have had a weird resurgence. I mean, still a great song, but out of the blue, it just started getting played like crazy.

YES! Every single bar is gonna play it about three times a night, demanding everyone sing along. It’s good in moderation but we gotta let that song die down some 😭

TysonEmmitt

26d

It's on the elevator music generic jazz station we play at the doctor's office I work at. Every day, I hear the instrumental versions of Can We Talk and Robin Thicke's Lost Without You about 10 times a day, every day. Also, a lot of Sade. I used to like all of these songs, but now I don't ever need to hear them again for quite a long time.

The world wore Boo'd Up out really quickly. Great record, but it was inescapable, and I was done done.

Also, Muni Long's Made For Me. This is very hypocritical on my part because I've posted it here a few times. The other day, I listened to it like 10x inna row.😂😂😂

I will never get tired of Boo'd up I love that song with the heat of 1000 suns. Made for me on edge of getting played out but Im still blasting it

Same. I know that Kylie Cantrall made a popular cover of Ella Mai’s ‘Boo’d Up’ that got a lot of attention

Beyoncé- Halo

The first time I heard her sing it live in a little clip of her backstage I had goosebumps..now it just doesn’t have the same effect anymore. Same with Irreplaceable and a lot of the Ne-yo productions..

Omg yes Halo and Irreplaceable became a lot of people’s karaoke song of choice towards the late 00s and it annoyed the life out of me lol. Haven’t been able to listen since, but still love other songs on those albums

It's not that I don't like them because I do it's they have been over playing them so much these last couple years I would rather listen to other songs from their catalogue instead.

AcademicSavings634

27d

I don’t think it’s possible for me to get tired of that song. I do feel like it’s played more often than her other songs though. “I miss you” is so underrated

Lelixandre-

Me neither. Every time I hear that beat it takes me to some blissful tropical beach in the Caribbean somewhere and it's lovely, and I love her soft vocals on there too. It's my favourite song of hers.

I love this Song! I really could listen to it all day. There’s a mashup with this and Rihanna x work and i go feral for it!
