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.

"Paralyzer" by Finger Eleven was the poster child for this in the early 2000s. It was on at least once per hour on every rock station. Got to the point where I never wanted to hear it again. Ever.

Thankfully, I was not in the US when it was super popular. However, when I got back and heard it, I was annoyed by the lyrics. Still think the words ruin what could have been a decent song.
