I feel the same way about music licensed to shows or commercials. Due to the amount of airplay a show or commercial gets, the music becomes overused.

The USPS use of "Fly like an Eagle", and overplayed CSI: X shredded The Who songs.

Although, "Love and Marriage" used in "Married with Children" (90's) doesn't have the same tiredness, probably because that Sinatra really wasn't in my listening list.

I was wondering why I heared 'Running up that hill' from Kate Bush so much on the different radio stations. Then HN had an article about someone recreating the synth sound of it. Why the renewed interest?

Yesterday I heard it got used on a popular Netflix show. Ah.

It could be worse, I thought they were forcing interest in some new album from her.

Still laughing about the irony of Melanie's "Look What They've Done to My Song" becoming "Look What They've Done to Oatmeal".

Can't un-hear.
