Journey's Don't Stop Believin' and Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody are examples of songs which have been overplayed. Now, I change the station if these songs come on the radio. Bob Seger's Old Time Rock'n Roll used to be overplayed, but now I like it again. However, Bob Seger's "Turn the Page" has taken its place on the overplayed list.

John Cougar Mellencamp's "Jack & Diane"

TOTO's Africa or the insipid Weezer cover also falls into this category.

Back in the 1980's when I was a kid, I asked, "Why can't Don't Stop Believin' be the biggest hit song ever recorded?" Now, it is a smash hit and played daily on classic rock radio. I am sick of it now. I guess we have to be careful what we wish for.
