My fifth-grade class had to sing that at a school assembly. My middle school chorus teacher was all about Amy Grant’s “Baby, Baby” which has also mercifully vanished. No wonder I turned to White Zombie and Rammstein in high school.
I still hear STP played on hard rock and classic rock stations but the recent death of lead singer Scott Weiland might have something to do with that.
I was born in the late 80’s and I have heard that song, admittedly long time ago and only during Saturday nights when that particular station played disco music. It no longer does and I have not heard it since.
I don’t hear Annie Lennox’s “Diva” album at all, songs like “Why” and “Walking On Broken Glass”. I don’t hear Sting’s solo stuff anymore either, especially his 1999 “Brand New Day”, the self titled song, “After The Rain Has Fallen”, “Desert Rose” with that Arab back up singer.
Barry Sadler had an interesting career after that song. He wrote a paperback adventure series (Casca: The Eternal Mercenary") about Casca Longininus, the Roman soldier who thrust the spear into Jesus’ side, who is condemned to live forever and fight from war to war. The series is still quite collectible, and was popular for Sadler’s knowledge of military history in the battles depicted.
I had that song, and a few others on a cassette tape several years ago, I wore the thing right out! 
I LOVED ‘The Politics of Dancing’ and thought, I must be all alone in the world listening to this thing. (The other songs were ‘Everybody Have Fun Tonight’ by Wang Chung, and ‘The Wild Wild West’ by Escape Club…several others, but those were my favorites.) Wow, where does the time go, seems like yesterday!
I’ve heard Spirit in the Sky in the last few days.
I still have the album, got it for my fifth birthday in 1963.
“Dancing on the Ceiling” by Lionel Richie
“Man, is Vaughn Meader fucked.” - Lenny Bruce, Nov 22, 1963
I heard “My Sister” (Juliana Hatfield) and “Damnation” (Squirrel Nut Zippers) within the last few days on local radio. I think it was on the same day.

Yeah, STP gets plenty of play around here, too. I just checked yesterday’s playlist for our classic rock station, 97.9, and there were three STP songs on them. The alternative station, 93.1 WXRT, which plays songs from pretty much any era also had one track from them played yesterday.
Granted, I live in the Pumpkin’s backyard, so there may be some homerism with the local playlists, but I’d bet hardly a day goes by where “Today” isn’t played on some radio station. Sure enough, checking XRT’s playlist for yesterday, that song got played. (And how is that song or the Pumpkins “grunge light?”)
Soul Asylum I still hear regularly enough. (I heard “Runaway Train” earlier this week.) Live is a little harder to come by, but probably once a week I’ll hear them. Screaming Trees never got any play here to begin with, besides “I Nearly Lost You.” Can’t remember the last time I heard them on the radio but, as I said, they weren’t big here. I wish “Two Princes” would go away, but that’s still pretty common here, too (played yesterday on XRT, in fact.) “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” also seems to somehow inexplicably survived the test of time and still gets play, too.
The bolded song is actually “Hell.” I have the album. It got a lot of play for about a year after it came out in Charlotte, probably because SNZ was from just up the road in the Triad.
I still listen to most of the songs on that 2002 list. There’s this XM station named Fly (channel 47) and I can guarantee you’ll hear “Dilemma” and “Hot in Herre” and maybe “Foolish” on there. They play 90s-00s hip hop and r&b. I love it.
I also know all the songs on the 1983 list. I grew up listening to them. I was born in 1989.
Someone I went to school with shared this picture of popular songs from 2006 on facebook recently. It was the first time I thought about The Fray in years.
WVLI played that an hour ago. 
This is my favorite kind of suggestion for threads like this – from your description, absolutely nothing about it seemed at all familiar. But when I listened to it, sure, I remember this song.
You’re right. I knew that was the title of that song but for some reason it didn’t register with me when I posted that.
Stars on 45 was performed by a group of studio musicians who recreated the original recordings, so it probably was cheaper to produce than by licensing the rights to the originals.
