10 Best Overplayed Songs - Play It Again, Sam?

B-B-B-Benny and the Jets.

You've heard it... 300 times in your life? 301, maybe?

The Thought Catalog is back again with thoughts about the 10 best overplayed songs.  Take a look at the list:


"Three Little Birds" - Bob Marley - A fun song, there are songs I'm certainly more tired of hearing...
"Hands Down" - Dashboard Confessional - I didn't expect this to ever be on a list like this, and don't know the last time I heard this song, other than on my iPod's 'Shuffle' option.
"Like A Prayer" - Madonna 
 "What's Your Fantasy?" - Ludacris 
"Imagine" - John Lennon - Used in countless tributes, and who doesn't like The Beatles?
"Bennie and the Jets" - Elton John - Just try to listen to this song and resist just one round of "B-B-B-Benny!"
"Time After Time" - Cyndi Lauper 
"Wonderful Tonight" - Eric Clapton - This song just makes me think about my high school junior prom, but I don't really hear it often enough to consider it "overplayed songs list worthy"
“Auld Lang Syne” - Multiple Artists (Writer, Robert Burns) - New Years Eve, graduations, you name it, they sing this song there.  Sorta inevitable.
"Let Me Clear My Throat" - DJ Kool - Always a crowd favorite!


What do you think of this list?  Any of your favorites make the Thought Catalog's list?  Any you would add?

"Please Excuse Me While I Kiss This Guy" and Other Mistaken Lyrics

I have become a fan of Thought Catalog - a lot of interesting articles on that site, so check it out if you're looking for some new ideas/a place that may have you thinking, "Yea! I feel that way too!"  I came across one about songs that people don't really know the lyrics to.  It made me think of songs I've listened to in my short almost-28-year-old life, so I thought I'd compile a small list, and see what any of you out there in Internet Land didn't know the lyrics to, either.


5 Songs No One Actually Knows The Lyrics To


The Thought Catalog's article features these 5 songs:

1. “Yellow Ledbetter“ by Pearl Jam - Bedwetter? What?
2. “Come on Eileen” by Dexy’s Midnight Runners - I think that Save Ferris's version  helped this issue, what do you think?
3. “September” by Earth, Wind, and Fire - "AYYYYEEEEAAAHHH, Somethin' somethin' someeeeeethin'...."
4. “One Week” by Barenaked Ladies - I'll admit that I used to know a good majority of these words, but certainly not all of them...
5. “The Numa Numa Song” - Uh, yeah.  I don't even know that these are definitely English words... are they?  I'll have to look 'em up.


So, as a young'in I was under the impression that "Stir It Up" by Bob Marley and the Wailers was "Cereal."  "Ceeeerrrrrealllll.  Little darlinnnnn', ceeeereaaaalll."  Yep, because that made sense. Yep, I'm admitting it to the Interwebs.


Also, "Informer" by Snow.  What the hell is going on in that song?  "A licky boom boom down."  Yes, I got that much.  I think he drops his name a few times, too. But... huh?
