Episode 255 - The Overplayed Mixtape

Download

Everyone's got a collection of songs that they're really sick of hearing. Some are quite obvious - Wonderwall, we're looking at you - whereas others are perhaps not so obvious.

And that's before we even get into the realms of talking about songs that were cannot abide for deeply personal reasons.

What we're saying is that we all think a bunch of songs are overplayed. This week we dive into the world of overplayed songs. We go a little further than simply listing songs that are done to death, though.

We go deep into the psychology behind why songs are overplayed, what it is about these songs that lead them to become overplayed, and try to come up with a few categories in which to put certain kinds of overplayed songs.

We originally recorded this episode as a bonus episode for subs but it really took on a life of its own.

Oh and our new co-co-host ChatGPT makes an appearance because why the fuck not use AI when everyone else is doing it?

Any songs you think are particularly egregiously done to death? Let us know!
