The worst thing about happy birthday is the fact that when everyone sings it together they sing it in like 6 different keys

[Gil-P-Smith]

Glad Stevie made the distinction between “overrated” and “over played” here. I think he made a good call on these 👍🏻

[eyejackffs]

Steve singing Bohemian Rhapsody sounded pretty damn good, perhaps he should front a queen cover band.

[GregoryBoissy]

Can we also just agree on the fact that Steve actually has a good voice when he sings?

[brianhill]

Weird thing, before the movie “Wayne’s World” you rarely heard Bohemian Rhapsody anywhere and you could could play Stairway at the guitar shop.

[kitsune]

Fun fact: Good Riddance isn’t actually about moving on with your life and going to the next chapter, its basically just a breakup song and the “i hope you had the time of your life” is sarcastic.

[maromaro]

Great list, but I've got a few more overplayed/overrated to add here:
1) Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Everyone and their mother had to play it in their bands at least once.
2) Metallica - Nothing Else Matters
Every time a random person takes the guitar they start playing the 4 open strings saying "see, I can play Metallica"
3) CCR - Fortunate Son
Every Vietnam movie/game/end credits/whatever had this song. It's great but overplayed to the full limit.
4) Europe - Final Countdown
In the VH1 days, every countdown had to end with Final Countdown. Not counting the million other occasions you have to sit through it. The synth line went from epic, to meme, to triggered.
5) The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army
Damn, it even ended as a football chant, what more can you say?
6) Deep Purple - Smoke On The Water
0-3-5
7) Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You
Even the memes got worn out with this one.
8) George Michael - Careless Whisper
Maybe it's just me, but I just can't stand this sax line any more… But maybe it's just me, lol
9) Rednex - Cotton Eye Joe
no comments here
10) Darude - Sandstorm
It was a hit, it got too much radio time, then it was a meme.

Enter Sandman and Nothing Else Matters are good examples of great songs that suffer from being overplayed

[DinsdalePiranha]

I'm going with overplayed rather than overrated here....

My local classic rock station plays "Jump" by Van Halen literally Every. Single. Goddamn. Day. I like the song, but I can go without hearing it again.

Stevie T Parodies for my Personal Use
Wonderwall 1:14
Good Riddance 4:16
Happy Birthday 5:14
Dance Monkey 6:24
Sweet Child O' Mine 7:44
Smells Like Teen Spirit 9:55
Bohemian Rhapsody 11:28
Stairway To Heaven 13:56

The fact that most of these songs are overplayed is what hurts the enjoyability of them for me. "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "Sweet Child O' Mine" are all legendary songs, but I can't help but yawn any time they play because I've heard each of them a billion times before!

I don't think I've heard "Dance Monkey" before, but if it's as bad as you describe it to be, I'm glad to have avoided it.

"Happy Birthday to You" is more of a cliché than an actual overrated song, but overused nonetheless. I'd rather hear "Birthday" by the Beatles, because that's a song actually worth celebrating to.

[childrenofgrub]

bohemian rhapsody is a great song. With great vocals of Freddie Mercury, and the iconic guitar solo! Although it is overplayed and queen has a lot of songs that are good also.. I’m not hating on it, though! (Quite the opposite!) it is a very in depth, *iconic* song that really pushed queen into the spotlight and I love that for it!

[hariomvishwakarma]

Steve you sing bohemian Rhapsody so nicely your vocals match with original version. You should make a cover of it as tribute to Freddie Mercury.

[filmskanauka]

Stevie: every rock band requires to have a cheesy ballad song

AC/DC: let us introduce ourselves

[vertical_slab]

The fact that Smells Like Teen Spirit accomplished so much with four chords is incredible, every single part of the song is great and no matter how many times you listen to it you can't help but smile. And don't even get me stared on Kurt's voice only he can produce that kind of sound, and I've never heard anyone play the song as well as Nirvana. I think it deserves to be overrated.

[Xaero]

Funny thing: "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is widely considered simple, basic and easy to play, yet noone can play it like Nirvana did. Any cover there is is either too clean and polished or doesn't align with the mood the original track has.

[kylespevak]

I think Sweet Child is so good because of how it was made. It gives the song a feeling of someone playing a riff, then the band gradually building into this epic rock song. If it started out fully epic, it'd be less epic

[Razoredge]

We want a full Bohemian Rhapsody cover, Steve.

[breelletorre]

I actually did grow up knowing the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody because my mother and brother both listened to it quite a bit. While I do love the song I do not play it very often but it always leaves a smile on my face because it reminds me of when my brother would listen to that. Now it is pretty much my only memory of him since he died when I was 5.

[williamhicks]

I truly feel that even though we’ve heard some of the songs so many times they’re definitely not overrated, just overplayed. A few of these songs are epic and stand the test of time.
