The Top 10 Overplayed Songs You Hate by Artists You Love - PopMatters
I would like to add some of my own:
“Brown Eyed Girl” by Van Morrison
“Who Are You” by The Who
“Start Me Up” by The Rolling Stones
“Bridge Over Troubled Water” by Simon & Garfunkel
“Pretty Woman” by Roy Orbison
“Sweet Home Alabama” by Lynyrd Skynyrd
I would die very happy if I never had to hear any of these again.
What else am I forgetting?
If you click here on the program guide you’ll see me on page 125. Better get your plane tickets now. Go ahead, I’ll wait.

SONG OF THE DAY
Little Richard
“Slippin’ and Slidin’”
1956
Episode 61: Sitting in the Sun
This is a vacation week for the Slights of the Roundtable but they have 3 individual messages for you in one mini-episode. Will they come back together next week for a regular episode?….Yes (but let’s pretend it’s up in the air to build up some suspense for the end of May sweeps!).
So have we just given up on silencing our cell phones while at work? Because I hear the same digital club music ring 5 times a goddamned day and I want to pull the fire alarm when the festivities begin. I thought you were at least make an effort to pretend that you didn’t pay attention to your phone during a work day but maybe I’m just old school.
Just turn your ringer off. Trust me, getting a hold of you is not as urgent as you think it is. If Dunkin Donuts is on fire and giving away everything in the store before they’re consumed by flame, you’ll find out about it through the scent coming in the window.
And while we’re on the subject, people really need to stop walking and looking at their phones. For a society obsessed with labeling things an addiction we sure do let this one slide. Just make some retort about young people and technology and then let them go right back into being in my way. I can’t get around you because you’re walking in a zig zag pattern that would put Otis Campbell to shame on New Year’s Eve.
I like to use my phone on the go too but at least I feel a little embarrassed about it from time to time. That’s all I’m really asking - just show me that at least you feel a little bit bad about yourselves instead of walking around like entitled, proud little cunts.
And don’t get me started on making popcorn in the office microwave…

Quiet Temp Actually Very Untalented Singer-Songwriter - The Onion
This is pretty much my exact situation except you need to sub in comedy for music and a much less nice office for this building.
