Any commerical with Train and the opening tune to their song "Hey Soul Sister".

If you haven't noticed, it's about half of the total number of commercials on television right now. Oh, and its a track for movie previews as well.
Definitely overused. Also too much ukulele, not enough cowbell...

My daughter loves that song. It's ok. I haven't been overexposed since I don't follow popular media.

After hearing this song a few times while driving, you'll be singing it for the next 3 days and by the 4th day you will be fighting the urge to jam a screwdriver in your ear to make it stop.

fuck this commercial, seriously... we have this in Chicago too and I always hear this fucking bullshit when I wake up to my alarm. Makes me so angry for the rest of the day.

There's some sort of stove stove scrubber product on the market right now that uses 'you ain't seen nothing yet' and I hate that song and that commercial

You sound like me when it comes to that Burger King commercial. Can you honestly say the Michael Franti song is worse that the Burger King shit?

easily. there's no worse song i've ever heard. i'd rather listen to all nickelback songs back to back and then listen to all trapt songs back to back than to hear this nauseating, horrible, shitbag excuse for a song.

Definitely agree with quite a few posted in here. The ones that always irritate the hell out of me are the freecreditreport.com commercials. I was even more disturbed when I found out a lot of people liked em, wtf.

The latest one I hate is the pumpkin chunkin commercials on Discovery. It's like they scientifically found the most annoying tune they could for those commercials. I almost feel like an accomplice to a crime posting a link to it.
