What songs can you think of that have been absolutely run into the ground so much that even hearing the first 5 seconds is groan inducing?

I'll start with a few I can think of

When I use to watch tv and I'd hear either of the first two songs come on I'd automatically think "Oh no not another trailer for a moronic comedy better mute quickly"

EDIT: I apparently suck at embedding videos

I don't know quite how many advertisers have had the brilliant idea of using this song in car ads or ads for car insurance.

Can't forget about Pendulum of course

I don't know why this is relevant because you can spend 5 minutes on youtube and hear all of this garbage

Edit: just rename the thread " bad music thread "

its already pretty obvious which songs are used way too often, if you've seen some of the more popular frag videos of course. i think a better subject is what is not used enough. i think it would be great to see more hip hop used also some jazz/funk. this song is not only great, but the way its used goes perfect with this video.

I've dabbled in post production work, i know frag videos are just for fun and it gives you a chance to be as creative as you wish. but the one thing that sticks out to me is that people are just way too focused on using some upbeat catchy repetitive electro/drum and bass song, not to say its the most terrible thing you can use (obvious its personal preference what they choose) but it would be nice to see some people be a little more open minded with what music or just think outside the box, and not just the same genre over and over
