Songs that have reached such a saturation point that even if you haven't heard it in a long time, you instantly think of how overplayed it is.  As with all lists, the criteria is up to the list maker - it can be songs you like or not.  It is preferred that you do NOT say, "Anything by..." - you should have a specific song listed.

Albuquerque Tom:
I thought this was a favorite song list when I read it from the top...Ghostbusters, God Bless the USA...those are my favorite songs of all time.

Diesel:
By listing Anvil as #13, it's obvious you spent much of the 80's in Columbia where Anvil was played non stop so that the opium would grow faster.

Albuquerque Tom:
I don't qualify since the only radio I listen to is NPR, and talk radio. The most overplayed songs in my house are Ghostbusters, God Bless the USA, Metal on Metal by Anvil (we also grow opium)

*While the smell of buttered popcorn is fine if it's yours, it's not cool when it belongs to someone else. When it is burnt, it joins the top 5. I only have three things, so I will add my official list fillers for the remaining two spots.
