Recentlly I have noticed how much the song (well, remake) “What I Like About You” by Lillix is being over used.

~The WB show “What I Like About You” uses it as a theme song

~The recent remake(Hmm possibly a trend) of Freaky Friday uses it during the movie and on its soundtrack

~The new trailer for “Ella Enchanted” (which looks like a really akward adaption but that is another thread…) uses the song through out its trailer

There are probably others that I can not think of at the moment, go ahead and list them.

My one question is, why?! It isn’t that great of a song (well at least not a great remake) why do they keep using it?
