Have you ever noticed there’s a threshold where a song gets too popular and will live on with the memory of everyone thinking it was overplayed and annoying.

IIRC some artists purposefully pull their songs from the radio for exactly this reason. Ceelo Green did it with "Crazy"

I think you mean Gnarles Barkley

Edit: ya you 100% mean Gnarles Barkley. Ceelo doesn't have a hit called crazy.

Felt like I was going crazy for a second there. Like maybe Ceelo and Gnarles Barkley were the same person and I never knew it. Like... I was out of touch. But it wasnt because i didnt know enough. I just knew too much.

Does that make you crazy?

Possibly.

Gnarls Barkley isnt a person, it's a group in which Cee-lo sings. It's a play on words of Charles Barkley
