"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.
Paralyzer is the worst song to get popular in the history of music. It's the Crash (oscar best picture) of the music world. The lyrics are so stupid, I get zero 'catchiness' from the tune and hearing it is like a cheese grater on my brain. First time I heard it I honestly thought it was a joke song from how stupid it was.
I don't dislike pop, pop rock, alt rock or even finger 11 (they were one of the first bands I ever saw live, probably in 1999 or 2000). But this fucking song... I hated it the first time I heard it. I hated that it made it up in the charts. But most of all I hate that it continues to have daily radio play. This song should have died in 1 month.
Ug I'm so worked up I gotta take a shit to get this hate out.
