What song(s) did you previously enjoy but have heard too many times?
My own examples:
Beatles. “Hey Jude.” It just drones on-and-on.
Eagles. “Hotel California.” Ditto.
Bruce Springsteen. “Born to Run.” I’ve been a devoted Springsteen fan since the mid-1970s, but this song got old after I’d heard it about 1,000 times.
Ed Sheeran. “Shape of You.” The first time, I thought it was fun and catchy; now, it makes me want to rip out my hair.
Whitney Houston. Anything. I think her style of pop music hasn’t aged well, and her songs get too much radio time.

The one standout in my memory is the insufferable “Theme from a Summer Place” by the Percy Faith orchestra.
Sara Bareilles-“Brave”
Adele-“Hello”
And I like Adele.
But enough, thanks
There are some that, for a reason, became ear wurms (one was so for weeks; day in, day out).
That quickly turns them into songs I despise.
The weeks long ear wurm: Don’t Speak – No Doubt
I also made the mistake of choosing one of my all time favorite songs as a ringtone for my phone, some eight years ago.
A mistake because I had a phone phobia at the time; whenever it rang it scared me so much that I’m convinced I’ll live three years shorter because of it.
My favorite song became my most ‘traumatizing’ one.
Free Spirit – Birtha
It has grown on me again, by the way…
“Hallelujah”. I love the song but now that every Tom, Dick, and Harry youth choral group and flash mob has made and posted a version of it, I am heartily sick of it
^^ But you don’t really care for music, do you?
Happy Birthday…just hit 52 & so hey, enough already.
I’ve occasionally binged on Angelica Hale’s cover of Girl on Fire, but her performance makes me so emotional that I have to stop watching it before I drown.
Apparently in many circumstances, my emotionalism acts as a limiter so that I don’t OD on my favorite tunes.
I guess another reason I don’t OD on any tune, is that I don’t listen to music sources where anyone else is choosing the music.
@rebbel explained how he developed an aversion to hearing one of his favorite songs, but how did the other posters here develop theirs?

Summer Place was never more than elevator muzak to me, but for some reason it was #1 for 6 weeks here in So Cal.
@janbb
How is it that you kept hearing all those other versions of Hellalujah?
Was it a choice or were there some situations where you were involuntarily subjected to it?
@Brian1946 It’s all over FB and people covering it on Pandora, etc. Listening to the radio, walking down the street – it’s everywhere these days.
