What they don’t prepare you for… is the incessant use of “Fortunate Son.”

Long Tall Sally - Little Richards Careless Whisper - George Michael Sympathy for the Devil - The Rolling Stones Welcome to the Jungle - Guns N' Roses I'm Too Sexy - Right Said Fred Dust in the Wind - Kansas AND MANY, MANY MORE!!!...

Vietnam=Fortunate Son, by Creedence. My friend literally calls it "the Vietnam song"😅

"At Last" by Etta James is also VERY overused in shows, movies and even commercials. It's a nice song but if I hear it one more time used in pretty much the same way, I'm gonna scream.

No Frank Sinatra? I feel like New York and My Way have been overused too many times in media.

Honorable mention: Dream Weaver (Gary Wright): the chorus is used constantly in romantic scenes.

...I don't care if they are overused, I love all these golden oldies. "Walking on sunshine" never fails to lift my spirits whenever I hear it playing❤

They played Don’t Stop Believing at my graduation ceremony when I graduated from high school. They didn’t even play Pomp And Circumstance

Baby Got Back. There was a time you couldn't see a comedy or a family film without this song showing up.

I think All-Star from Smashmouth should be on the list. Hear it a lot in movies and TV since the song came out.

Nine minuets and thirty in I'll list songs I hear too often in films 1. Prety Woman 2. Bad to the bone 3. Dude looks like a lady 4. Im a believer re-recording 5. Born to be wild 6. Here's to you Mrs. Robenson 7. Who let the Dog's Out? 8. we will rock you 9 Its the end of the world and we know it. 10. Just the two of us 11. What if God was one of us? 12 I feel good 13. Saturday Night Feaver 14 New york new york 15 Sugar Rush 16 Macarena 17. Some thing or an other by Barry White 18. Ive had the time of my life 19. Opps I did it again 20 Kung Fu Fighting 21 welcome to the jungle 22. Ave Maria Basically any song connected to the moment in the movie by ONE lyric being SORT OF related

“Life is a Highway,” by Tom Cochrane and later by Rascal Flatts for anytime the characters take a road trip. Ravel’s Bolero used whenever there’s a seduction scene. “Luck Be a Lady,” composed by Frank Loesser. Any time gambling or luck is involved. “I Feel Pretty,” written by Stephen Sondheim and Leonard Bernstein from the 1957 musical West Side Story. Used in so many movies, T.V. Shows in parodies, for the most part. There are so many classic songs used in film. Thing you have enough to make a part two.

Best use of Staying Alive has to be the CPR scene from The Office

The alvin and the chipmunks “stayin alive” reference was RIGHT THERE!! 😂

Should have been a top 100 list but to name a few Highway to Hell Dream Weaver Sympathy for the Devil Start me up Iron man Thunderstruck Higher And so many more

Oh gosh, make it stop! This list is way too accurate! Whenever I work on projects, I enjoy finding music that breaks the overplayed trend.

In my opinion "I need a Hero" is also such overused that it bothers me.

These songs have been and will continue to be played. They are timeless and are better than most of the music today. Just because you guys are swifties doesn't mean good music should be put to rest.

Most of these songs are my absolute favorites! GOATs!
