Hi stevie
Edit: first reply!
Hi stevie
Hi steve
Holy shit dude-
First
The worst thing about happy birthday is the fact that when everyone sings it together they sing it in like 6 different keys
Ifkr LMAFAOOO
and 6 different tempos
@@inse0380 even if you have like a fuckin piano in front of you and play the key they’ll sing like it’s a demonic ritual
And whoever the biggest d-bag in the room is always harmonizes the last line.
not to mention when someone start it over from beginning
Glad Stevie made the distinction between “overrated” and “over played” here. I think he made a good call on these 👍🏻
Sarcasm?
@@vi3357 No sarcasm.
Boston Rock and Roll Band. Bob Seeger, Old records
Rush Limelight. Ffs every song in the stable is great. Stop playing limelight!!!
Rolling Stones Start Me Up
AC/DC Shook Me All Night Long
Basically take all of “Classic Rock Radio” and destroy everything they play every day. The same old shit every fvcking day over and fvcking over.
And throw it in the trash. Find other songs. Play them. Then throw them out. Play some more. Until you fvcking get to the fvcking end. Then start over. OK pop/rock/country music business world??? We’re fvcking tired of all of it.
Stairway to heaven as everyone knows, is over played, but not overrated. Theres a reason Led Zeppelin is voted the best rock band of all time
@@Salty_Taco9357 best “cover” band
Enter Sandman and Nothing Else Matters are good examples of great songs that suffer from being overplayed
Fact
no
He is confusing overrated with overplayed...
All these songs are justifiably RATED
… your right and nothing else matters
I thought enter sandman was going to be number one
Can we also just agree on the fact that Steve actually has a good voice when he sings?
Yes we can!
@@Urmom.com12344 oh yeah. That's wassup. Not just the singing, tho, it's the screaming too. Fricking gold.
I think he uses AI to make his voice more similar
@tengericsillag7865 Well I guess that makes sense. Sorry for not realizing before.
that is just, not true@@tengericsillag7865
ai was also not nearly as good as it is today
“Cracked out Elmo vocals” 😂😂😂
6:46
He was wrong when he said that those type of vocals were new to the table, Guess he hasn't heard AC/DC Lmao
Yeah that song sucks quite a bit. I’ve heard it on the radio so much it’s far surpassed the point of novelty
@Bad Boys Boogie I like that song, but I have to agree with this
@@zackplaysgames2950 nah acdc is good but dance monkey is trash ..
I read this comment before I understood ..... replayed that shit like 30 times 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Stevie: every rock band requires to have a cheesy ballad song
AC/DC: let us introduce ourselves
And Cosmic Psychos!
You sure about that? What about “Ride On”? I wouldn’t call it cheesy, but it is a ballad.
@@Incuensuocha More like a slow blues . Crabsody in blue is another one like that...
i think hell bells is their ballad
Look up Love Song by AC/DC
I think Sweet Child is so good because of how it was made. It gives the song a feeling of someone playing a riff, then the band gradually building into this epic rock song. If it started out fully epic, it'd be less epic
Dude...
Agreed
That's the beauty with most Guns N' Roses song. They often bridged together 2 separate songs, such as Rocket Queen, where the rock n' roll would turn into an emotional bluesy track. Sweet Child O' Mine has at least 2 distinct themes inside. Same with November Rain. Not to mention Coma and Estranged.
bohemian rhapsody is a great song. With great vocals of Freddie Mercury, and the iconic guitar solo! Although it is overplayed and queen has a lot of songs that are good also.. I’m not hating on it, though! (Quite the opposite!) it is a very in depth, *iconic* song that really pushed queen into the spotlight and I love that for it!
🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
It got its initial success thanks to being overplayed. Kenny Everett, a British DJ played it constantly.
Steve singing Bohemian Rhapsody sounded pretty damn good, perhaps he should front a queen cover band.
Admittedly, his vocal performance is better than Kanye West's - seriously, actually. Like, a lot.
Stevie and bands don't have the best relationship
I have to agree. His Bohemian Rhapsody performance was unexpectedly good. I really like it.
As a huge queen fan I do agree a bit on overplayed. But.... It's an awesome song ;)
Fun fact. Stevie does is better as a comedy than most artists trying it seriously
Thumbs up.
When I heard the "mommaaaa oohhh" bit I was like.... This boi might actually pull this sh*t off.
Fun fact: Good Riddance isn’t actually about moving on with your life and going to the next chapter, its basically just a breakup song and the “i hope you had the time of your life” is sarcastic.
I'm glad someone else besides myself gets the sarcasm of that song. Hell, it's in the title "Time of your life (good riddance)". Are people THAT dense that they actually believe it's a song about an optimistic future!?
Yeah true, but I guess most kids don’t know what it means
I knew that one before I watched this! Yet, people still play it at freaking graduation ceremonies-
In Germany, they're playing Hallelujah at weddings.
That makes it even more appropriate for breaking up with school
The fact that Smells Like Teen Spirit accomplished so much with four chords is incredible, every single part of the song is great and no matter how many times you listen to it you can't help but smile. And don't even get me stared on Kurt's voice only he can produce that kind of sound, and I've never heard anyone play the song as well as Nirvana. I think it deserves to be overrated.
Yeah I had heard Smells Like Teen Spirit quite a bit in the 90s. Never was a fan of the hook cause of the screaming. But that's not just a dig at cobain. I'm not a fan of that kinda screaming period. Nor am I a fan of that rough what ever kinda voice metal guys do. I only liked Metalica's The Unforgiven cause the guitar, and because of how James sings the hook. I guess if Cobain had sang Smells Like Teen spirit like he did when they screw it up on purpose I perhaps would've liked it more. Cause of course in that vid they screw it up to have fun with how people mis hear it. But I like how he sang it. There's more emotion to it. It's more melodic.
The song stopped making me smile immediately after I checked out their other material
The song and the group is garbage, never liked them and never will
I’m a simple person. I see queen, I click
Weird thing, before the movie “Wayne’s World” you rarely heard Bohemian Rhapsody anywhere and you could could play Stairway at the guitar shop.
Fun fact: before the movie was released Freddie Mercury was shown the footage of bohemian rhapsody Wayne’s World had in the movie and Freddie loved it
That’s awesome. Thanks
Well just because bohemian rhapsody wasn’t that popular in us doesn’t mean it was not popular. Bohemian rhapsody was more popular and probably more popular then the movie itself. And the only it charted again after the release of Wayne world is cause of Freddie mercury ‘s death.
I am honored to have been born in the 90's. Wayne's World, Jurassic Park, etc. Good times for sure.
Yeah, Mike Myers ruined both..who made him boss?
We want a full Bohemian Rhapsody cover, Steve.
Yes, it sounded quite good. He needs to practise that higher end a little more, but rather promising.
You got this Steve!
AGREE
Or the Queen song of the youths generation
"Fat Bottomed Girls"
Yeahh 👍🤘
Imagine listening to Octavarium (in Fm) in 30 different keys.
"I never wanted to become someone like him
So secure content to live each day just like the last
I was sure I knew that this was not for me
And I wanted so much more
Far beyond what I could see
So I swore that I'd
Never be someone like him
So many years have passed
Since I proclaimed my independence
My mission
My aim
And my vision
So secure content to live each day like it's my last
It's wonderful to know that I could be
Something more than what I dreamed
Far beyond what I could see
Still I swear that I'm
Missing out this time
As far as I could tell
There's nothing more I need
But still I ask myself
Could this be everything?
Then all I swore
That I would never be was now
So suddenly
The only thing
I wanted
To become
To be someone just like him
A doctor sitting next to me
He asks me how I feel
Not sure I understand his questioning
He says I've been away a while
But thinks he has cured me
From a state of catatonic sleep
For 30 years where have I been
Eyes open but not getting through to me
Medicate me, infiltrate me
Side effects appear
As my conscience slips away
Medicate me, science failing
Conscience fading fast
Can't you stop what's happening
A higher dosage he prescribes
But there's no guarantee
I feel it starting to take over me
I tell him not to be ashamed
There's no one who's to blame
A second shot, a brief awakening
I feel the relapse, can't break free
Eyes open but not getting through to me
Medicate me, infiltrate me
Side effects appear
As my conscience slips away
Medicate me, science failing
Conscience fading fast
Can't you stop what's happening?
Sailing on the seven, seize the day, tripper diem's ready
Jack the ripper, Owens Wilson, Phillips and my supper's ready
Lucy in the sky with diamond
Dave's not here, I come to save the day for nightmare
Cinema show me the way to get back home again
Spinning round and round
(Looking outward, reaching in) Scream without a sound
(Leaning over, crawling up) Stumbling all around
(Losing my place only to) Find I've come full circle
Flying off the handle
With careful with that axe
Eugene gene the dance machine
Messiah light my fire gabba gabba
Hey hey, my my generation's home again
Spinning round and round
(Looking outward, reaching in) Scream without a sound
(Leaning over, crawling up) Stumbling all around
(Losing my place only to) Find I've come full circle
Our deadly sins feel his mortal wrath
Remove all obstacles from our path
Asking questions, search for clues
The answer's been right in front of you
Try to break through, long to connect
Fall on deaf ears and failed muted breath
Loyalty, trust, faith and desire
Carries love through each darkest fire
Tortured insanity, a smothering hell
Try to escape but to no avail
The calls of admirers who claim they adore
Drain all your lifeblood while begging for more
Innocent victims of merciless crimes
Fall prey to some madmen's impulsive designs
Step after step we try controlling our fate
When we finally start living it's become too late
Trapped inside this Octavarium
Trapped inside this Octavarium
Trapped inside this Octavarium
Trapped inside this Octavarium
We move in circles
Balanced all the while
On a gleaming razor's edge
A perfect sphere
Colliding with our fate
This story ends where it began"
But in 30 different keys.
I just want to point out, how amazing Stevie’s vocals are in the bohemian parody
The fact that most of these songs are overplayed is what hurts the enjoyability of them for me. "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "Sweet Child O' Mine" are all legendary songs, but I can't help but yawn any time they play because I've heard each of them a billion times before!
I don't think I've heard "Dance Monkey" before, but if it's as bad as you describe it to be, I'm glad to have avoided it.
"Happy Birthday to You" is more of a cliché than an actual overrated song, but overused nonetheless. I'd rather hear "Birthday" by the Beatles, because that's a song actually worth celebrating to.
Thing is though, the cliche's are the cliche's for a reason. They work because people like them.
Dance Monkey played for what seemed like 24 hours a day after it came out. I couldn't get away from it and my wife played it every day as well. I'm so glad it has fallen off. You're lucky to have not heard it.
I'd actually recommend checking out Leo's Metal cover of Dance Monkey. It's amazing
Check out Leo Morachioli's - dance monkey. its actually good.
I understand what you mean but can't say that I agree with that one, I heard Smells Like Teen Spirit also a million times before but few days ago I was getting a coffee with some friends and it came up on the radio in the background and I found myself humming along with it, Bohemian Rhapsody otoh is just meh to me and I'm sure I heard it way fewer times than Teen Spirit
Funny thing: "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is widely considered simple, basic and easy to play, yet noone can play it like Nirvana did. Any cover there is is either too clean and polished or doesn't align with the mood the original track has.
I learned to play before I actually heard it. We were finishing our Halloween Mosh free concert at the skatepark when some friends came up to jam and one started this riff so I learned it on the spot, the chicks were all hollering during and after & that's the day I learned Nirvana would kill my career in thrash.
The song is very very simple and how the band plays it has nothing to do with how it sound at the end, not even the solo is hard to play. About how the cover sound, I´ve never heard "smell" covers, but it might be due to production and mixing rather than the musicans playing it "too clean", if you play on the time you are supossed to then it comes up to how you want the thing to sound, producing it and mixing it too dirty would not really work as you would be straight copying Nirvana. Example: Metallica could emulate the tone and sound of the multiple covers they play on their b sides and stuff, do they? Nope; Why? Then how you know is Metallica covering BOC? Is not supossed to be a exact replica.
I thought that Frog Leap did an alright job with a metal cover.
You gotta be a little toasted( little bit of whatever that brings you down and beer) and out of tune to play it well. It helps bring that depression through and really sell it.
That's because the bass is a 32nd behind the guitar in the original, but cover bands play it synched.
I actually did grow up knowing the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody because my mother and brother both listened to it quite a bit. While I do love the song I do not play it very often but it always leaves a smile on my face because it reminds me of when my brother would listen to that. Now it is pretty much my only memory of him since he died when I was 5.
A local radio station in my area often goes on week long tangents where every day it would play Prince's "Raspberry Beret" every time I would tune in. I now despise that song because I've heard it too much and it's getting VERY annoying
I'm going with overplayed rather than overrated here....
My local classic rock station plays "Jump" by Van Halen literally Every. Single. Goddamn. Day. I like the song, but I can go without hearing it again.
it's a great queue song for a suicide hotline though
Van Hahlen is massively overrated, but the one song they recorded that was s underrated and should be played more is Ain’t Talkin Bout Love.
@@craighenry2351 How is Van Halen overrated?
@@craighenry2351 nah man, if you want a really underrated Van Halen song look up humans being.
@@craighenry2351 that's the one song of the first album i dont have in my playlist and van halen is amazing
Steve you sing bohemian Rhapsody so nicely your vocals match with original version. You should make a cover of it as tribute to Freddie Mercury.
But Steve is straight
I was thinking the same
His voice is amazing for it.
Death due to aids...lmao
Yeah the 30th anniversary of his death is November 24th of this year
In the uk, it is illegal to sing happy birthday while recording. But we do it anyway.
I love how this video clarifies the distinction between *overrated* and *overplayed*
Stairway is like family.
You'll always love it, or hate it. But most importantly, its always there for you.
@@VisualKez They did not rip it. The only thing that is similar is that descending line cliche and that's it. There is plenty of songs that uses that same descending notes. Also Led Zeppelin won that case.
@@VisualKez yawn
What a wise words my friend
@@VisualKez bruh
"you'll always love it, or hate it" ehm, nope. for me it was always "ok" song. it's not that good, but it's not bad either

0:35 unironically I’ve never played wonderwall and I mainly play acoustic…
I have successfully beaten the matrix
His Bohemian Rhapsody performance was unexpectedly good. I really like it.
Ngl that's what I was about to comment,he has the perfect voice for it
Unexpectedly?.. where you been?
um no? What's up with you people? He was even bad on purpose.
@@StupidEarthlings r/whooosh
I’m honestly surprised smoke on the water wasn’t on this list
Smoke on the water is banned
Smoke on the water isn't a bad song, the solo is sick as fuck, the riff is iconic, the lyrics are great and the singer makes them work.
But then again it's a meme so y'know.
Smoke on the Water is only known for its riff, it's not as famous nor mainstream popular as the songs on this list.
Not overrated song
Overrated meme tho
@@deathmeatle3171 smoke on the water is a great song that is performed poorly 99.9% of the time.
I dont think smoke on the water is overrated in anyway, but not because i think its amazing. Its not overrated because i don’t think that the general public thinks that it is this amazing song. I think it just has an easy main riff that novice guitarists can play and is just catchy.
The one song I hate being around not because it’s overrated,not because it’s over played…but because I hate being tricked by it never gonna give you up I stay the hell away from it cause I don’t want to get Rick rolled more times than any RUclipsr and for streamer on twitch.
keep up the great work, Stevie!
Stairway for me never gets old, because it was my great uncle’s favorite song, he was robbed of his life at 19 (1978) when in a pro flat track race, he crashed and was run over 3 times, he was paralyzed from the waist down and his fingers were forever disabled to an extent,
He passed in 2007 a little over a year after I was born, I have no memory of him that I can remember but stairway to heaven is the only thing I have of him,
Sad to hear bro, RIP to him
Damn, sorry to hear
Not tryna be a hater but how do you become so close to someone you literally can't remember cause your brain was mush but still be attached to their favorite song. Maybe it's just me, after all idk half of my fam to begin with
Hugs 😢
Your great uncle had some balls for racing on a flat track. I respect every form of dirt track racer whether they're driving 160mph sprint cars or riding motorcycles on a flat track, because that kind of racing is sketchy as fuck.
Overplayed Queen's "We Are The Champions", played in every competition event here in Indonesia, to the point that I avoid listening to this song. It's like the Happy Birthday song for any competition winners here.
Europe's "Final Countdown" is another one, played at the beginning of the events.
Yep, to be honest We Are the Champions and We Will Rock You are more overplayed than Bohemian Rhapsody, but Bohemian... is the most overrated of that trio imo.
We had to learn the lyrics and notes on keyboard in school
Oh screw you bud how could you possibly stop listening to we are the champions
@@mrbagelguy6663 I can't listin to it without thinking of fnaf and that serial killer
@@sebastiangibson9671 what serial killer?
I think Steve should definitely do a video on overused songs in movies. I know the Twilight Zone theme and The Ecstasy of Gold (from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly) have been used to death when it comes to most movies.
The Jaws theme should also be on that list
@@mysteryheart53 I have no idea how I forgot about that one, but you’re 100% correct.
I think that it's weird Good Riddance is played at graduation because it basically saying f you
You should do “Metal around the world” episode and check metal bands from each continent per episode. Would be epic.
YeZ
Copy from Davie504?
Davie does this ans i don't find these videos of him entertaining
The Antarctica metal scene is especially doing amazing things right now.
@@Incuensuocha Much better than those clowns in the Arctic Circle, they just have no originality! Bastards!
When The Levee Breaks is awesome.
Especially, but not exclusively, when you're rhymin' & stealin'.
Dude this is an amazing fucking comment
Just like how The Beatles are great when you're dropping science like Galileo dropped the orange.
I think Dance Monkey was supposed to be a weird niche hit that is kinda just...like, on the same level as Feel it Still by Portugal. The man or something. But it turned into a really massive, unexpected hit comparable to Somebody that I Used to Know or Royals. I'm proud of it, not necessarily because it deserves everything it got, but because it managed to compete with the slew of more predictable pop songs available.
Hi I’m new I love the vid ( I SUBSCRIBED)
I’ve always loved the melodic bass line in Sweet Child O’ mine
I love to hear it once in a while. I know it's overrated af but kudos to Slash and Izzy for their work there. The riffs and solo are smooth as hell and my favorite singing part is Axl's closer.
Yep. GnR has such a distinctive sound--the bass, riffs, solos, and drums, with Axl Rose's voice bringing it all together. It just works so well in many of their songs.
It's the guitar solo though. One of the greatest you could hear that would ever be played on mainstream radio.
Me too
Because being a black sheep and different.
RIP to all graduations who play "Good Riddance", not realizing the F-bomb was dropped two seconds into the song, only to find out when it's too late with the volume turned up to knob 11 at the ceremonies
Thank you for finally giving warning the credit it deserves
Great songs include
1. Castaway
2. Church on Sunday
3. Jackass
4. Blood sex and booze
I truly feel that even though we’ve heard some of the songs so many times they’re definitely not overrated, just overplayed. A few of these songs are epic and stand the test of time.
All are overrated in a sense: peooke treat them as the epithome of rock (Bohemian, Stairway) or as the best-or-only-good-song from the band (Teen Spirit, Believing, Sweet Child).
The fact that that ain't true makes them overrated.
@@rodrigoodonsalcedocisneros9266 I get your point, but Nirvana and Guns n Roses have many other songs that are popular. I will go as far to say that almost every song that has become a staple is to an extent overrated. Bohemian Rhapsody is the biggest offender in my opinion. Since the film, you can't get away from that song. I love rock music (Deep Purple are my favourites), and people will play this song at a party, and be like "I love rock music". I'm not the biggest fan of Queen, but they have a few tracks I like, and those people wouldn't know that one or wouldn't be able to list a DP song other than Smoke on the Water. There's a lot of music out there, as good as some of these staples, but they aren't remembered for one reason or another. With that, I'll end saying that songs are remembered for no particular reason. A song will be remembered because it was played in a film people liked, or it will blow up on Tik Tok for no reason (Fleetwood Mac), or some other reason unrelated to the quality of the song itself.
So... This was actually a list of the most overplayed
He probably found it on a website tho
@@Forsaken22323He literally said he did.
Yeah, I am not too crazy about the Happy Birthday Song either. I usually have my grandpa or dad pray over me before cutting the cake instead of singing that song.
STEVE. NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY IS PLAYED, IT WILL NEVER GET OLD.
In my perspective, this is one of the things that make Rock music died out in the mainstream, we still worshipping this classics to the point it's overplayed while there's so many artist doing new things with the genres but not appreciated just because their young and get called "ruining rock and roll" when it's only just evolving. It's like people don't get the point of what The Beatles was doing lol.
Same with metal . I love Metallica, avenged sevenfold Cannibal corpse as much as the next person . But because of this newer bands aren't getting any recognition because people refuse to listen to anything new . Their is a metal band rn which is honestly great . But metalheads refuse to listen to the band because its not the " classic "
Nothing else matters is SOOO overrated that I keep playing it differently just not to hear it again.
good song tho just over played
Enter sandman too
yeah i wouldnt play nothing else matters or enter snadman coz they are so overplayed plus sad but true is way better or wherever i may roam
nice pfp, I love Mick
@@pewterschmidt23lord99 sad but true is also overplayed lol
6:24 sounds exactly like dance monkey
My daughter is slightly autistic. (Autism is a spectrum, she's very low on the spectrum) One of the ways we determined she was ON the spectrum was Every. Single. Birthday at our house she would start screaming hysterically every time we sang "Happy Birthday". Something- she's 25 and to this day we don't know what- but SOMETHING about it drove her absolutely apeshit. As I said, she's 25 now and has learned to cope with "Happy Birthday", but I'm ok with its inclusion on the list. 🎉
Hi, autist here. I also struggle with this song. My family never sings it to me on my birthday, but every time I overhear it in public I just feel uncomfortable. Not to the point where I start screaming hysterically, but my mind would get overstimulated and maybe I would shed a tear or two. (Like you said, autism is a spectrum and different autists have different reactions.) I think this is because of the general loudness and obnoxiousness that this song usually is: people usually sing it loudly and unintentionally off-key so it creates dissonance and is overstimulating for most autistic people. I also think it is because of the huge amount of attention that you are given when this song is sung to you. Some autists don't like that much attention. I hope this helps you figure out what the problem is.
@@cassettegirl9928 i probably should have clarified she was very little when this was going on. She got over it by the time she was say six or so.
The story behind Good Riddance is actually pretty interesting. The 1994 demo version, while still just Billy Joe Armstrong on acoustic, has an entirely different feel to it. The song pretty much went from being a “F*ck you,” to one intended person(s), to being a sentimental ballad to another. It’s bizarre how the lyrics themselves didn’t change, but the context of the lyrics did!
I prefer the 1994 demo version
Great list, but I've got a few more overplayed/overrated to add here:
1) Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Everyone and their mother had to play it in their bands at least once.
2) Metallica - Nothing Else Matters
Every time a random person takes the guitar they start playing the 4 open strings saying "see, I can play Metallica"
3) CCR - Fortunate Son
Every Vietnam movie/game/end credits/whatever had this song. It's great but overplayed to the full limit.
4) Europe - Final Countdown
In the VH1 days, every countdown had to end with Final Countdown. Not counting the million other occasions you have to sit through it. The synth line went from epic, to meme, to triggered.
5) The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army
Damn, it even ended as a football chant, what more can you say?
6) Deep Purple - Smoke On The Water
0-3-5
7) Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You
Even the memes got worn out with this one.
8) George Michael - Careless Whisper
Maybe it's just me, but I just can't stand this sax line any more… But maybe it's just me, lol
9) Rednex - Cotton Eye Joe
no comments here
10) Darude - Sandstorm
It was a hit, it got too much radio time, then it was a meme.
Nice list; I agree to all entries for being there.
yup, agree with with all of them, but don't forget to include Song 2 by Blur
I'd say Enter Sandman rather than Nothing Else Matters if I'm being honest.
Totally agree with your additional list!
@@aaron.5172 both
I was in a coma for 50 years....the last song I remembered before my OD was Stairway....what the heck. Stairway 50 years later? What ever happened to Buffalo Springfield?
More songs:
- Blur - Song 2 (This song is a rofl)
- Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Under The Bridge
- The Smiths - How Soon Is Now?
- The Beatles - Yesterday, Hey Jude, Let It Be, I Wanna Hold Your Hand, She Loves You
- Radiohead - Creep
- The Rolling Stones - Satisfaction
- Eagles - Hotel California

- Bob Dylan - Knockin on Heavens Door
- Blondie - Heart Of Glass
- R.E.M. - Losing My Religion, Everybody Hurts
- The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army
- Kizz - I Was Made for loving you
- David Bowie - Space Oddity
Seven Nation Army is the dirge of every football ground in Europe.
As much as I love the song and love Ozzy it's safe to say Crazy Train is Overplayed
Hey careful buddy... Stevie's mom used that song in her art train video!
(I see though, I'd rather hear Bark at the Moon or Over the Mountain)
i think paranoid is more overplayed
@@Manolosabe22 Very True. Iron Man as well
I think Mr.Crowley is way better than Crazy Train.
I agree on both points. It is the overplayed massively at sporting events.
10 years ago Nickelback and Imagine Dragons were so overrated that I still suffer from PTSD.
Nailed it!
They stopped playing Imagine Dragons in your timeline?
Bear in mind that if we didn't have Wonderwall and Green Day, we wouldn't have Party Ben's _Boulevard of Broken Songs_ which is a godamned masterpiece.
5:08 If my family did this I´d freak out
It's true that Good Riddance is good, despite being massively overplayed. Seven Nation Army is kind of like Sweet Child of Mine. Simple and also overplayed.
I think Immigrant Song is just as famous as Stairway to Heaven these days.
Wonderwall
Wait, is immigrant song the one that goes “OAAAAAAOAHAAHHHHH AHHHHHH”?? 😂😂😂
@@KingKhaoz yes
Immigrant song is not nearly as famous as stairway, are you joking?
@@leob4403 I knew about Zeppelin as the "immigrant song guys" far before I knew them as the rock gods that wrote stairway
I remember some of the old songs like this but it wasn't dance monkey, I use to get all the lyrics stuck in my head but hearing songs too many times can be really annoying.
I wont give up gives me an ear worm marathon when I hike at a mountain and see the summit this song always gets in my head
Great list. Funny as. One song in particular I used to like but now I'm so over it I switch the radio off is Don MacLean "American Pie".
Yes!!! Once sat in a bus driving back for hours girls singing this. on a school trip.
Love your stuff bro your funny and a great guitar player
"The greatest songs of all time" starter pack:

Bob Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone
Rolling Stones - (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
Michael Jackson - Billie Jean
Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze

Marvin Gaye - What's Goin' On
Elvis Presley - Jailhouse Rock
Aretha Franklin - Respect
Okay, I won't lie, seeing lists like those who mentioned mostly these songs on the top helped me a lot years ago to be more interested in music, but over the time, when you're discovering other genres and artists and songs, you'll realize the songs mentioned above aren't neccessarily the greatest ones of all time
I have been listening to songs you mentioned from last 10 years and never found any artist whose song touch like them.
Sultans of Swing
is wild honey pie rlly greatest rainfall of all time?
I agree with The Beatles.
True. If these lists cared about certain criteria to what makes a song great orher than fame there would be lots of underrated or underground artists on it. Like Diamanda Galás for example, or Nightwish, or Jinjer, or Opeth, or Igorrr and so on.
Jokes aside, glad he made the distinction between overrated and just overplayed. Sucks that being exposed to something over and over can make you hate it, even when that thing is otherwise awesome.
Yes, this is something that always grind my gears when I hear someone saying "overrated" on something that it has its merits to be recognized as something great. For example I got sick of hearing 'Enter sandman' by Metallica but I can't say that the song sucks, I'm just tired of listening to it during my entire teenage years...
Fun fact my middle name is Bohemian and my parents where into a lot of things and one of there obsession where Queen and they called me bohemian Rhapsody
What dose this mean
you forgot sweet caroline. that song gets played at like every college football game and it drives me crazy
Fave UK karaoke song too.
Just listened to like 15 seconds of Dance Monkey. Your vocals were spot on
Well almost. The funny thing is that she doesn't sing like that on the rest of the album. Nor does she do the Indian axent she does in Dance Monkey. I first heard it in full in Nicaragua. The first few times it was like meh what evs. But then like the fith time or something for what ever reason I thought of my real cutesy little friend Gabby. Thus now It makes me think of Gabby and I like the tune.
@@rockapartie What's creepy? Just wana be clear.

Dust in the Wind by Kansas, was also a finger exercise, that was turned into an epic song.
From Wikipedia:
Kerry Livgren devised what would be the guitar line for "Dust in the Wind" [from] a finger exercise for learning fingerpicking. His wife, Vicci, heard what he was doing, remarked that the melody was nice, and encouraged him to write lyrics for it.
The rest, as they say, is history.
As someone from detroit, the worst thing about Dont Stop Believing, is the annoying detroiters who have to scream "born and raised in south detroit," even though most of them that sing it at sporting events are too scared to go to detroit
I noticed a pattern while mowing the yard one summer. I don't know how radio works in terms of song selection... But, I mow on the same day every week and I would hear the same songs in a different order everytime I mowed and this was a classic rock radio station. The only unique songs being requests from callers.
How to create Bohemian Rhapsody:
1. Pick 5 different genres of music
2. Put them together in a somewhat smooth way
Classical music, rock, pop and?
@@Gio-rk6cc opera, classical, I can’t remember all of them
@@jacobkaufman4435 which are the same things. Yes and Genesis did the same thing earlier and in a better way
He just combined some songs he couldn't finish and there you have it.
@@Gio-rk6cc The who and The Beatles did it earlier also
I made sure to permanently memorize singing and playing stairway, just in case I ever get challenged to play the greatest song in the world by a demon in the middle of the road. And yes, Levee is heavier and also moves your soul but it gets played on ultimate classic playlist rock stations just as much as stairway. If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now, it's just the Stevie T waiting to assail you for not subscribing.
Best comment ever.
That feeling when stevie talking about smells like teen spirit and Simply guidar ad comes in with tutorial on smells like teen spirit...
6:30 OH NO NOT THAT SONG
Remember when Raid: Shadow Legends didn’t exist? Those were the days.
It's a meme now
"And after all, you're my wonderwall." Well, that means absolutely nothing. I mean, after all, you're my ponder-ground.
Bro, I can’t believe that Steve just Rick rolled us 😂
3:00 good riddance brings back the worst memories for me because i had the “bright” idea of singing with my friends for our graduation ceremony and this is one of the songs we had to sing besides the friends theme song
There is a song you don't ever get bored to hear, even if you heard it million times. It's John Cage's 4'33.
And when you think about it; you've kinda been listening to that song endlessly on repeat since you were born
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ah you're a man of culture as I see
I get bored of waterwalk. My gf plays it everyday while I'm trying to sleep
@@lasagnasux4934 huh?
Sweet Child o’mine is more overplayed than overrated. In a time when “Every Rose Has It’s Thorn” and “More Than Words” was the basic formulaic ballad every hair band had to have to catch the female audience, at least Gn’R’s ballad has a kick ass bridge (that the shitty commercial radio stations cut out, to Stevie’s point) that still rocked your face off. Their whole debut album was a bit of a fcuk you to the radio establishment and arguably the greatest debut album ever, even with the majority of the songs a little too edgy for the radio stations. Overplayed sure but that solo is pure gold and you can take that one to heart!
I loved "Every rose...". We had "work week" at school where we were asked to work somewhere for free for a week as part of our schooling. I managed to get a spot at our local radio. The Radio boss told me that I had to be careful about what music I played, as the daytime music was mostly for "housewives at home dancing with their broom". At the time I was more into hard rock, so that posed a problem to me. I didn't know much music apart from hard rock and everything else that I hated. I understood that I had to play something softer, so the "Power Ballads" and "More power ballads" compilation albums were life savers for me.
When I think back on that time, I an't help feel sorry for everybody involved: myself, the dancing housewives and the boss of the radio. I would have had a much better background to do the same thing now...
More the words... 🤮
But More than words is actually more complex than Sweet Child
@@philipkarovski281 100% The song actually has a super interesting structure.
Dude, he wasn't dissing your band, why you gotta piss on someone else's? So you like GNR, good for you, but the other ballads you mentioned hold a special place for someone else. Personally never dug any of them. I am sure if I dug through the realms of rock (from the same time period,) I'd find some songs(ballads, as per year take,) that were just as complex as GNR's "Sweet Child." So because it moves you, that's awesome. Does everyone hold your opinion? Probably not. You should crank it up as much as you like though.
I know I’m late to the comment section and no one will see this, but my father always played stairway to heaven for me every night since I was 2 months old. Both of us have a big place in our heart for Led Zeppelin and I’m glad he chose that song for me to feel nostalgia to. I don’t care if it’s overrated or overplayed, I don’t care that guitar shops don’t allow you to play it, I love that song and I will forever keep loving that song no matter what people say. I could listen to it till I die, I wouldn’t mind.
I saw your comment
“I’m gonna kick a Yorkshire terrier in the balls” PLS DONT HURT MY DOG
I agree with Smells Like Teen Spirit. My sister would play it in the car and at one point I was like “Please, there are other good songs by them you know, even on the same album.” Not necessarily overrated, but overplayed.
Breed and In bloom are better than slts, by a mile
Like In Bloom, Lithium and Breed, even About a Girl from Bleach is better (for me) than Smells Like Teen Spirit
Yes I definitely agree with you. The amount of disappointment I get when I hear people say they listen to Nirvana but they only listen to Teen Spirit is a lot lol.
It is a great song....but Come as you are and Lithium are way better. But the SLTS video is amazing and those of us old enough to remember it when it first came out.....yeah....I'm 40....it was life changing.
Definitely, it's a good song but it's a shame it was so overplayed that people started to hate it, even Kurt Cobain started to hate it!
Fun fact: Wonderwall was so overrated that one of the members of Oasis didn’t like the song!
Pretty much the case for every overrated song.
I heard it was pretty much the whole band that were sick of it.
Bruh the members of Oasis actually didn’t expect it to do that well.
Liam hates Wonderwall lmao
Stevie covered that in one his videos. I think.
The trick to writing the "most catchy song" or "1 hit wonder", is to make it as simple, repetitive, drilling as possible & dont forget the same 3-4 notes for 2-3 minutes.🤢🤢
Kurt's an idol of mine, though he claimed to hate mainstream, yet wanted to make "more pop style music", maybe that was him playing with us also haha
But he said this in an interview in the 1st year of nirvana, like 1989 just after they had Dave show them his immense drumming power
Bohemian Rhapsody, even to this day from the 1st time hearing it, sends shivers down me timbers.
So much power & true depth of emotion, that so many new artists will never even fathom. Freddie knew his time was cut short, this song was his release.
Oh yea & the video took i think a few months to record some scenes, there wasnt any cgi of special effects back then, they cleaverly cut the film & overlaid it etc (literally film back then was still pictures in frames on a reel)
Similar story with Journey, that guitar intro took them months to record all the overlays :p
Led zeppelin - black dog. (I would have actually also said When the Levy breaks, but lets keep the diversity ;) )
Great content!
"what do you mean you already know what song it is. How do you know if you dont click THE LINK!!" Me: *Memorized the rickroll link*
We need a sequel lol next one you should do overrated Christmas songs cause there’s way to many!! 😂😂 when December comes this year lol
Bohemian Rhapsody is exactly adequately rated.
I agree
It's a brilliant song, I've heard too many times for me to enjoy it now. Can we not play this song for a year, I would love to hear after that.
@@aydenspears8962 Agreed. Overplayed songs should automatically be put into a sin bin for a few years before being allowed to be played again. They'd be like new songs after that I reckon.
No cap!!
Yes its brilliant and rated how it should be
9:26 Contrary to popular belief, Kurt was well aware he was writing the “ultimate pop song” with Teen Spirit. In fact, his journals indicate an intense desire to be a famous rockstar in his early years. It’s just, he got there and probably found out it wasn’t all it was cracked up to be and didn’t make him much happier
underrated comment
FYI, the Happy Birthday was invented by two sisters in Louisville, KY.
10:48 I can never get tired of Bohemian Rhapsody
queen - bohemian rhapsody is one of those songs that is overplayed a lot but it's enjoyable and amazing
Not sure man
@@StillSomeNigga it's okay if you disagree. But if i have to choose something from the radio that I'm fine with, it's definitely this one
I never tire of hearing Bohemian Rhapsody.
Don't care what anyone says, I will never tire of Stairway to Heaven
There is a truly overrated band.
It's a good song but "Kashmir" is better.
@@sundareshvenugopal6575 I don’t think they are overrated at all. They are an amazing band and revolutionized music. But they are also very unique and some people won’t like it, and that’s ok.
@@OhJimmeh I listened to them. Bad music. That is not even music. A broken record sounds a lot better.
@@sundareshvenugopal6575 Yeah, I’m sure you’re in a band with one of the greatest Rock Frontman, Guitarists, Keyboardist/Bassist/Musical Composers, and Drummers with 8 Diamond Albums that defined music as we know it…huh??
Wish I had my cellphone camera to record my dogs reaction to the video but I am watching the video on my cellphone. When you mentioned happy birthday my got all happy with a wagging tail. Then Dance Monkey came on she had a look of what is that and put her head down lol.
the thing slash did with just an exercise and the band joined in kind of like also how AC/DC made thunderstruck, angus was just doing an exercise on guitar and then the band joined in
I can't believe Stairway to Heaven is the most overrated yet there are people who still haven't heard of it, the hip hop scene is under a rock when it comes to classic music.
A lot of people haven't heard of it... Because they live in another country ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Some songs like we will rock you or don't stop me now by queen are popular world wide, but I've only knew about bohemian rhapsody and stairway to heaven when I was 13. Because it's simply only popular in USA, Canada, Britain and western Europe. Like we forgot about the rest of the world
Well, when you are talking about "mainstream" audience in USA you are mostly refering to the WASP audience. In other demographics the rules of "everybody should have heard it" doesn't apply.
70s, 80s and 90s kids were mad and everyone would want to play this song the funny thing is the the song was restricted back then in guitar stores but now many ppl never even heard that song😄
@@rodrigoodonsalcedocisneros9266 bullshit, it is not a ethnic difference, it is generational, everyone knew Led Zeppelin before 2000. what happened was that pop took over in the 80s, so classic rock began to be flushed out. By the 90s those bands became tributes of themselves, so by the 2000s everyone saw led zeppelin as old white man music like you described.
I would make number 1 "Final Countdown"
I would like to say that this list is more overplayed songs than it was overrated songs.
Does anybody else want like a full album of Stevie's like little ditties that he does when he parodies songs or when he's annoyed
Yes me
