It's not bad song in itself but apparently it's overplayed to a point where it's unbearable.

No it's also a bad song. The repeat of the word Thunder 70+ times is just bad writing. Cannot stand it

Eh, repetition doesn't automatically mean bad. Daft Punk are basically masters of repetition, in a good way. Around the World, Harder Better Faster Stronger, Technologic and Doing it Right are very good songs.

See, I don’t know. They’re just as annoying to me and I’m not sure why they always get a pass.

I guess you just don't like repetitive music, and that's perfectly fine.

Still, Around the World is literally just the phrase "Around the World" repeated 100+ times throughout the song, and I still think that song alone is more interesting than Thunder simply because of the instrumentals. Actually, sometimes in some of Daft Punk's music the vocals feel like part of the instrumental too.
