What song do you think you’ve heard most in your life?

[Ohwhatfuckeryitistoride]

Excluding-Happy Birthday, Christmas Carols, Nursery Rhymes and tv theme tunes.
DH thinks his is Ziggy Stardust, mine I think probably Bohemian Rhapsody, but it might be I’m a Believer or Cabaret.

The wheels on the bus!

Angels, every thing I do or Always

Don't Stop Believing was everywhere for a few years but rarely hear it now.

Google suggested Unchained Melody but the perennial is Bohemian Rhapsody for sure.

Chaka Khan's Ain't Nobody. I used to love that song but I got so fed up hearing it that I no longer do.

Great question! Dancing Queen (already mentioned), Last Christmas (ubiquitous plus I was a HUGE Wham! Fan when it first came out), I Will Survive.

All the Christmas songs that get played in Radio 2 every December.

I. Am. So. Bored. Of. Hearing. Them.

Sit down was def James. Way back in the day, we all used to sit down (most of the clubgoers) in a circle when it came on in a nightclub😳😂

Tiny Dancer by Elton John. I think I listen to it almost every other day, closely followed by Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel.

Angels by Robbie Williams. The last dance song at every party and disco for years!

Let it frickin go.

my two are obsessed. I feel like over the past 7 years it’s been played multiple times a day; every day. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh

Every breath you take, ill be watching you

Solsbury Hill makes me cry!
I don't know why, no particular fan of PG or connection to the hill - it's just one of those songs which chokes me up and i cannot sing along to it

@Laiste strangely enough, both the songs that I listed can make me feel either exhilarated or make me cry depending on my emotions at the time 🤣.

I've had the time of my life from Dirty Dancing or Alright Now by Free - always on the radio

The first song on that U2 album that came with the iPhone. No idea what it’s called but every time I start the car, there it is until I get round to turning it off. Times that by 100 million and it’s probably legit the most-played song of all time by now.

Hotel California.

In every fucking two-bit bar that English speakers go to worldwide, throughout the entire 80s, 90s and 2000s.

I think bar owners actually used to put it on specially when they got an English speaking customer - in fact I know that one definitely did, this guy in Nairobi, when he heard my accent, the thing was practically on a fucking loop. I couldn't tell him that those opening chords triggered thoughts of unspeakable violence because I'd heard it so many times by that point - he was just so happy that he was playing American music to make me feel at home. (I'm not American.) Maybe The Eagles gave out promo tracks with beer kegs.

Come on Eileen. And my friend Eileen hates it. Has been the bane of her life.

Just Like Heaven -The Cure..sublime!

I think it might be Jerusalem, the hymn. It was out school song and sung in assemblies, speech days, special occasions.
It is often played at funerals and the like too.

I worked in a bar once where the music system was stuck on Britney spears Toxic for nearly six weeks. So probably that, given I was working split shifts 12 hours a day

The National Anthem?

Dancing In The Moonlight.

No idea who sings it but it has been played to death over the years. 🤨

I Did It My Way

I'm glad someone else hates Sweet Caroline! Everyone seems to love it round here because of the football connection. I hate the awful song !
