You take that back!

Though, I wasn't around in the 80s to hear it on the radio. But I really do like that song. :)

Most songs are overplayed nowadays, starts by overplaying them pre-release so that it gets boring before they are officially 'released'.

Just reading this thread was nasty to my poor music-retentitive brain.

A couple more for us old folks: the singing-nun song Domineekee-neekee-neekee (heard that on the radio not long ago and it still had 100% ickypoo factor)

and the theme from Chariots of Fire.
