Most Overplayed New Wave Song?

[ru480s2]

I hear the Cult's She Sells Sanctuary more now then in the 80's.

"True" - Spandau Ballet. God, how I HATE this song. And it always seems to find me, playing on an endless loop wherever I am.

"Tempted" - Squeeze. I never was.

"Love Shack" - B-52's. Actually about an out-house you can use to puke in after listening to the song.

"She Blinded Me With Science" - Thoams Dolby. I would like to blind Thomas Dolby with a hat pin.

"Whip It" - Devo. Still LOVE it, just don't need to hear it so damn often. And please, STOP with those damn Swiffer ads.

Visage - fade to grey - i've bought as many 12" mixes on cd and this track is on nearly every one

p.s why even mention spandau ballet's true?? they ditched any new romatic/wave link after 'diamond' going for the soppy mass market, to include true you may as well include houlio iglesias or lena martell

[Bornslippy]

I'd say

Promise by When in Rome..

[80sPartyboy]

Oh Please...

Do we really have a catalog that's so vast that we are complaining that when we actually get to hear a NW song in PUBLIC we think oh this is so overplayed!

Enjoy your favs but appreciate that it even gets played!

I'm being silly. But seriously, these songs were the POP HITS of the 80s, of course they were overplayed.

[Moparmark]

You people nailed them all.We recently got an all 80,s radio station(they claim) and I hear most of these you listed all the time ,but there is one that drives me nuts cause I hear it every friggin day.I love RocknRoll by Joan Jett,sad thing is hardly anybody knows it,s not their own song and I used to like it.

[dead_irony@yahoo.com]

Come on Eileen....
Yeah, would you come on already so he will stop singing this miserable song and maybe, just maybe, so buy a shirt to go UNDER HIS FUGLY OVERALLS!!!

I really can't take it anymore

This compilation neatly sums up 90% of this question:

To fill in the blanks:

Depeche Mode - Just Can't Get Enough
Tears For Fears - Shout
Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Relax
Blondie - Maria

About the Blondie track - I know it's not strictly new wave, but when it was riding high in the charts here, it was played once an hour every day for six weeks and a song I used to like I now HATE! [:(]
