10 Most Horrifically Overplayed Songs In Music History

8. Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTWKbfoikeg Smells Like Teen Spirit was released in 1991 and was allegedly never thought to become a hit. If only Nirvana could have predicted the heights that this single would ascend too, even still in 2013. The song was a favourite when it was released but it can't be denied that the passing of Kurt Cobain, the much revered and loved lead singer of Nirvana definitely helped the song be remembered. Kurt wanted to create "the ultimate pop song" and before his death cited the Pixies as the central inspiration for the track. It's melody is one of the most known around, but even fans of the epic song would agree it is overplayed. Radio stations truly took the song and sky rocketed it with heaps of praise - Rolling Stone magazine said it was the 9th best rock song ever. In pop culture, Smells Like Teen Spirit is remembered as embodying the 1990s grunge phenomenon and many from the time would remember watching it on MTV, back when they actually played music videos. Although, it was that very network that drove the tune into the ground, as the music video felt like it was played more times than Michael Jackson's Thriller. One of the greatest and most acclaimed songs, but you can't deny it's been more than overplayed.
