annoying hit songs

so since i forgot my mp3 player today i had to listen to a crappy warsaw fm station that basically played classic rock and 100% of it was the super overplayed songs that are famous. personally i hate hearing songs often even if they are some of my favorites.

but today they played back-to-back what have to be 2 of the most annoying songs:

Layla (Clapton) followed by Sympathy for the Devil (Stones)

now i'm not saying that these are bad songs (listen to clips yourself) but they sure seem annoying when you actually listen to all 6-7 minutes of them. Clapton solos thru the whole song and for about 4 mins at the end he is playing some really annoying bends way up on the neck that make my ears bleed. and thruout almost the whole Stones song the background singers keep saying "WOOOT WOO"

eghads!

So, what are your nominations for some of the most annoying famous songs? especially ones that the whole world just seems to love but that make you want to blow your brains out with a rusty pellet gun.
