So…here’s a cover.
Boys Of Summer
I, too, have almost no tolerance to an overexposed song. I hate the way great bands have one or two of their songs played relentlessly. And it’s never their best work, and it’s always played until no one wants to hear it ever again.
But then I betray my core belief by cranking the car radio and kareoke’ing to “You Really Got Me”, “Under Pressure”, “Money For Nothing” or “Paranoid”.
By the way, that’s why I don’t play music off my phone in the car. I love the radio… the surprise of hearing a song I’d never download myself, or suddenly rocking to an old friend (today it was “Kashmir”; you should have heard Bonham using my dashboard as a drum kit…).
The Jeopardy Theme and your prize is an introduction to a 60’s group that has been completely forgotten, The Newbeats and their 4 hit songs, Break Away, Everything’s All Right, Bread and Butter and Run, Baby, Run.
Wait, it should be my prize.
Bat Out Of Hell. My children love it, and insist on playing it in the car whenever we drive around, but I still don’t mind.
You forgot to phrase it in the form of a question. 
Everything Bowie and New Order.
this and everything on kearth and klos in LA
although I do admit it took 15 years before I wouldn’t get stabby over sweet child o mine ………
“Won’t Get Fooled Again”. Yeah I’ve heard it a million times. So what, it still rocks.
There are surely at least 100 songs that come to mind! But the idea of “overplay” isn’t what I would call it. Some are just too good not to listen to over and over – well, maybe in a loop with several others – without really tiring of them.
But just now when I decided to just “listen to my mind’s ear” to see what would “rise to the top” it didn’t take long for this one to make it to that spot in my memory.
Back when it was fresh there wasn’t any way (except for the local “Top Hits” stations) to have it “overplayed” unless there was some kind of contest going on. Best you could hope for was that it would be repeated several times an hour. (We’re talking 1950s here.)
But my entry to this thread just has to be:
Buddy Holly - It Doesn't Matter AnymoreI had a morning paper route and since I had no radio on my bike(!) I would sing this one to myself over and over.
I hope it counts for this thread!
What I call “dancing songs.” I don’t care how many times I hear them, when they play I have to dance. Creedence’s Down on the Corner and Stevie Wonder’s Sir Duke come to mind.
I listen to the radio, so pretty much every song is overplayed. Lately, I’ve been listening to the classic rock station that is only on HD radio (or steaming), and they seem to have a playlist of like 10 songs. I think every day for the past few weeks I’ve heard Def Leppard’s “Rock of Ages” (Gunter Glieben, Glasen, Globen! or whatever the ersatz Deutsch is.)
So I guess I’m pretty much immune to overplaying. From today’s playlist on the drive dropping off kids, I did turn up the radio at “Kickstart My Heart” and “Paradise City,” so that’s my entry for the day.
I’m burned out on many of Aerosmith’s songs that have become overplayed on classic rock stations, but I still like to hear “Dream On.”
AC/DC - Thunderstruck
Great song, great riff, great build-up to the great riff, it thoroughly checks every AC/DC box, and is massively overplayed, everywhere. Movies, TV shows, TV and radio ads, video games, sporting events, it was even used in the trailer for one of the Cars sequels. Apparently almost no one has bothered to actually listen to the lyrics, or they’d at least not use it in children’s movies/shows.
Despite all that cowbell, I still like hearing Don’t Fear The Reaper.
Stone Temple Pilots song Plush got way the hell overplayed when it came out and then they produced a live version that got way the hell overplayed as well. It’s still a good song though, imo.
The Stroke, My Sharona, Long Cool Woman, Fortunate Son and Won’t Get Fooled Again are some of the few songs that I will always crank up the volume on.
I still love *Stairway to Heaven *and Hotel California. Also The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, Aerosmith’s Dream On, and Don’t Fear the Reaper.
I’ve never gotten tired of Stairway to Heaven
On the other hand, if I never hear Bohemian Rhapsody again, that will be fine. It’s a great song but overplayed.
Anything by Gilbert O’Sullivan.
Any good song on the radio. Ever.
