What songs are you (surprisingly) not yet sick of?

Wake me up.

That Evanescence son. It is very nice and despite its constant airplay, I am not quite sick of it.

Happy Birthday To You

I have heard it hundreds of times (of course not always directed to me) and I hope to hear it hundreds more.

The District Sleeps Alone Tonight by the Postal Service.

I loved it the first second I heard it, listening to the radio one night when it was really late. The DJ didn’t say the name or the artist, so I e-mailed him. Then I downloaded it off the internet (it was the first song I ever downloaded) and played it over and over and over. I got an mp3 player and listened to it on the bus, at school, at night before I went to sleep…all the time. I never heard it on the radio after I downloaded it, though.

That was maybe three or four months ago that I first heard it, and now the radio has started playing it during the big listening hours. I still squeal with joy and turn up the radio ever time it comes on unexpectedly.

The first time I heard it was like being hit over the head with a brick, it was so beautiful. And it still has that same effect on me, even after hearing it about a million times.

Bring Me To Life (the one refered to as Wake Me Up in the OP) is the first that came to mind, the second being Michelle Branch’s Are You Happy Now, which is played almost as much.

When “The Safety Dance” by Men Without Hats hit big, I heard it a million times on the radio and never ONCE got sick of it. That’s always the hallmark of a great, timeless song.

“Enter Sandman” by Metallica is another example…yes, that’s right, Metallica. :smiley: It’s starting to wear a bit thin, though. Slowly.

Current songs? The song in the OP (you mean it’s not called Wake Me Up?) was the third one I thought of. The other two were (blushes at this): Unwell by Matchbox 20, and When I’m Gone by Three Doors Down.

I have had “Nobody Does It Better” from the Bond film “The Spy Who Loves Me” stuck in my head for 2 weeks now, and I am still not stick of it.

Currently I am on my computer listening to the original Carly Simon version and the superior Radiohead cover alternately. I know I am going to have to ween myself off it soon… I am thinking of another Bond song… :wink:

Crazy in Love.

By Beyonce.

Look. I like her. And I still ain’t sick of it.

One pop song that stand out as remarkably durable through time, for me, is

Golden Brown by The Stranglers.

Not bad for 25 years.

Three songs which have been on my playlist for at least 25 years:

“Who Are The Mystery Girls” By the NY Dolls.
“TV Eye” by the Stooges
“Pretty Vacant” by the Sex Pistols

Jon

The Civilization 3 game. Strangely addictive.

Search for Bic Runga. I know I can’t get her out of my head.

Tank! from Cowboy Bebop.

Paranoid, Faeries Wear Boots, pretty much anything from Sabbath, Ozzy Years.

Also Bring Me To Life, which is what I thought of when I saw the title. The entire album, by the way, is that good, except for tracks five and six which might be better.

I can’t help liking the new Jewel song, “Intuition” enough to not care if it’s overplayed.

Except in those damn razor ads.

In the Summertime by Mungo Jerry.

Cool Summer by Bananarama.

Take on Me and The Sun Always Shines on TV by a-ha.

When I’m Gone–3 Doors Down…I cry every time I hear this now because I’ve seen the video on VH1 and it’s incredibly touching.

They Paved Paradise and Put Up a Parking Lot–Counting Crows

IDBB

Clocks by Coldplay.

Most Dave Matthews. This is even more remarkable since I started listening to them when they were still a local band. Hell they played several of our HS dances. They hit it big the summer I started college with their album that I had gotten 2 years earlier.

More recently, I’ve been able to listen to Hey Baby by No Doubt more than is rational. It always seems to wake me up and get me up off my ass. Hmm maybe I should listen to it now so that I’ll clean my apartment

Thinking about this for a minute there are actually quite a few songs that have a near infinite replayability for me…

  • Got me Wrong * and * Heaven Beside You * by Alice in Chains never seem to get old, actually I can listen to pretty much any of their stuff over and over again.

Jimmi’s version of Vodoo Chile (no refrain) * along with * Purple Haze and * All Along the Watchtower *

  • Bring me to Life * from the OP

  • The Coffee Song * (which is just goofy as hell) and * True Dreams of Whichata * by Soul Coughing, and most of their other stuff.

*Mope * by the Bloodhound Gang

Beethoven’s * Moonlight Sonata* and * Fur Elise * plus his 5th, 6th and 9th Symphonies.

Bach’s * Brandenburg Concerto’s *

  • The Four Seasons * by Vivaldi

  • Danse Macabre * Camile Saint-Saens

  • O Fortuna * from Carl Orff’s * Carmina Burana *

  • Rhapsody in Blue * George Gershwin

  • Take Five * Dave Brubeck

The Billy Holiday version of * Solitude *

Hmm now I’m going to have to que up all of these in the CD changer or I’ll go insane :slight_smile:
