Most overplayed good (or at least non-sucking) song in radio history?

Of course goodness and even non-suckingness is debatable, I'm just trying to glean out stuff like The Macarena and Who Let the Dogs Out. I'm going with The Boys of Summer, though I'm ready to be persuaded otherwise. You?

6. AbsoLUTEly! It does not suck...and it gets way too much airplay...
...sometimes as the expense of other great Zep tunes.

11. Excellent pick; I haven't happened to hear it lately though
but it's my number 1 for Songs you liked that were so overplayed you couldn't listen to them anymore. All these years later, I'm about ready to hear it again.

3. Any of first five on U2's Joshua Tree
I still cannot listen to the first half of that album because of what was done to it by radio back in 1987.

4. "I love you just the way you are": Billy Joel.....
I got sick of hearing it (and playing it, for that matter) but still..a pretty decent song..

5. "Gimme One Reason" by Tracy Chapman.
An unadorned, catchy and straight-forward blues tune that made Top 40. Great song. But by the end of that summer it came out, I wanted to shoot myself every 15 minutes because that's how often I heard it on the radio where I worked.

9. I consider that to be the greatest radio single of the 90s
but you're right; it was overplayed

14. But at least it's only once a year
some of the other songs are played several times a DAY.

Gerry Raferty, it's played world wide every day since it's release in 1977.

16. "Yesterday". It's been overplayed for almost 4 decades.

20. That was going to be my answer.
I think it may be the "official answer" as well (assuming one likes the song which I do). :)

18. "Satisfaction" was the song I first heard on the radio when I
turned it on at the age of ten. An intro to rock and roll can't get better than that. Thank you WOKY, Waukee from Milwaukee!
