The worst thing about happy birthday is the fact that when everyone sings it together they sing it in like 6 different keys

Glad Stevie made the distinction between “overrated” and “over played” here. I think he made a good call on these 👍🏻

Enter Sandman and Nothing Else Matters are good examples of great songs that suffer from being overplayed

Can we also just agree on the fact that Steve actually has a good voice when he sings?

Steve singing Bohemian Rhapsody sounded pretty damn good, perhaps he should front a queen cover band.

“Cracked out Elmo vocals” 😂😂😂 6:46

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

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.

Stevie: every rock band requires to have a cheesy ballad song AC/DC: let us introduce ourselves

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.

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!

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.

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.

Weird thing, before the movie “Wayne’s World” you rarely heard Bohemian Rhapsody anywhere and you could could play Stairway at the guitar shop.

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.

I’m a simple person. I see queen, I click

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.

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.

I just want to point out, how amazing Stevie’s vocals are in the bohemian parody

Hi I’m new I love the vid ( I SUBSCRIBED)

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.

Stevie T Parodies for my Personal Use Wonderwall 1:14 Good Riddance 4:16 Happy Birthday 5:14 Dance Monkey 6:24 Sweet Child O' Mine 7:44 Smells Like Teen Spirit 9:55 Bohemian Rhapsody 11:28 Stairway To Heaven 13:56

For people who wanted to hear the parodies he does of the songs on this list here ya go 1:15 Wonderwall 4:16 Good Riddance 5:14 Happy Birthday 6:24 Dance Monkey 7:44 Sweet Child o mine 9:55 Smells Like Teen Spirit 11:28 Rhapsody of Bohemian 13:56 Stairway to Heaven

keep up the great work, Stevie!

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.

We want a full Bohemian Rhapsody cover, Steve.

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".

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.

When The Levee Breaks is awesome. Especially, but not exclusively, when you're rhymin' & stealin'.

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,

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

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

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.

You should do “Metal around the world” episode and check metal bands from each continent per episode. Would be epic.

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 - The Animals - House In the Rising Sun - 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

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.

I’m honestly surprised smoke on the water wasn’t on this list

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.

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

7:00 i think the thing i like most about sweet child o mine is that i can’t go anywhere without hearing it. i can’t go to the theme park, i can’t listen to the radio, damnn i can’t even go to p.e without hearing this song but it’s so iconic, you could play it and a whole crowd would just start cheering because it’s just such a good song, i’ve knew this song my whole life, even people who don’t listen to guns n’ roses will hear this and just recognize it, even not knowing the name

Stairway is like family. You'll always love it, or hate it. But most importantly, its always there for you.

I love how this video clarifies the distinction between *overrated* and *overplayed*

In the uk, it is illegal to sing happy birthday while recording. But we do it anyway.

I’ve always loved the melodic bass line in Sweet Child O’ mine

His Bohemian Rhapsody performance was unexpectedly good. I really like it.

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. 🎉

0:35 unironically I’ve never played wonderwall and I mainly play acoustic… I have successfully beaten the matrix

So guess we will sing "Octavarium" for your birthday from now on. Not sure how that will bo over with the old folk. LOL. Dance Monkey was one of Addie's favourites a couple years back, but I did get annoyed with it. The Bohemian Rhapsody clip was hilarious, Steve. Oh I do love that song though. Journey is one of my favourite bands too but "Don't stop believin" is absolutely over played. Great video and very entertaining.

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.

Love your stuff bro your funny and a great guitar player

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.

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

"The greatest songs of all time" starter pack: Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody 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 Chuck Berry - Johnny B. Goode The Beatles - All of Their 213 Songs The Beach Boys - Good Vibrations 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

STEVE. NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY IS PLAYED, IT WILL NEVER GET OLD.

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 KZfaqr and for streamer on twitch.

Nothing else matters is SOOO overrated that I keep playing it differently just not to hear it again.

So... This was actually a list of the most overplayed

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

That feeling when stevie talking about smells like teen spirit and Simply guidar ad comes in with tutorial on smells like teen spirit...

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.

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.

Sweet Child & Welcome to the Jungle are THE two G& R songs I could never hear again ! I learned to play them both but have never played those two songs at a gig , party , jam session, rehearsals you get where I'm going with this ...

My picks - 10 - I love rock n roll - Joan Jett (tedious) 9 - Paranoid - Black Sabbath (nowhere near their best song, just shorter) 8 - Seven Nation Army - White Stripes (a dirge sung in many British soccer grounds) 7 - Eye of the Tiger - Survivor (plodding verses) 6 - Another Brick in the Wall pt 2 - Pink Floyd (great album but one of the weakest songs on there) 5 - Rock the Casbah - the Clash (one of their worst songs but the best known) 4 - Smoke on the Water ‐ Deep Purple (their most overplayed song) 3 - Seasons in the Abyss - Slayer 2 - Under the Bridge - RHCP 1 - Born to be Wild - Steppenwolf (played to death) Honorary mentions - House of the Rising Sun, the Passenger, Space Oddity, Thunderstruck, anything by Oasis

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.

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 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?

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.

Just listened to like 15 seconds of Dance Monkey. Your vocals were spot on

How to create Bohemian Rhapsody: 1. Pick 5 different genres of music 2. Put them together in a somewhat smooth way

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.

6:30 OH NO NOT THAT SONG

6:53 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.

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!

6:24 sounds exactly like dance monkey

13:40 I have stairway to heaven on my playlist too and I just go straight to the solo.

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.

As much as I love the song and love Ozzy it's safe to say Crazy Train is Overplayed

What version of the instrumentals of bohemian rapsity and don't stop believing is he using I can't find any of them please can someone tell me I've been searching for hours

queen - bohemian rhapsody is one of those songs that is overplayed a lot but it's enjoyable and amazing

10 years ago Nickelback and Imagine Dragons were so overrated that I still suffer from PTSD.

you forgot sweet caroline. that song gets played at like every college football game and it drives me crazy

That's entertaining you crack me up with honesty 🎉

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.

Remember when Raid: Shadow Legends didn’t exist? Those were the days.

5:08 If my family did this I´d freak out

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.

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

"And after all, you're my wonderwall." Well, that means absolutely nothing. I mean, after all, you're my ponder-ground.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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!

I love how Don't Stop Believin' really was EVERYWHERE when I was growing up. It was the quintessential "lets' party without it being an EDM festival" type song. Weddings had it, camps played it, and every guitarist I knew thought they were the king of the world when they learned it. XD

1: Every new pop/hip-hop song ever. 2: Smells Like Teen Spirit 3: Stairway To Heaven

The chapters are a bit off it still said Happy Birthday (song 8) when it got to song 7 Dance Monkey and it still said Sweet Child O Mine when he was talking about Never Gonna Give You Up see that’s why I don’t like when KZfaq puts chapters in a video because 9 out of 10 times they are either off or inaccurate

10:48 I can never get tired of Bohemian Rhapsody

The Whitney Huston version of "I will always love you." It is 100% overrated. She took a sweet, personal, heart felt song and turned in into a histrionic nightmare that is heard everywhere. I can't go anywhere without hearing her screech at the top of her lungs " I will always love yooooooooooou!"
