    Did an overplayed Promo ever ruin a real song for you for life ?

    I can't help thinking of ABC even when I hear Still The One on the radio today

    Any other promos that totally ruined a song for you for life ?

    Ya, Madonna's "Power of Goodbye" played for months when Felicity was about to premiere. Many many years removed, and I still can't listen to that song.

          didn't BK use still the one for a commercial too?

          I don't remember that ABC promo

          can't think of any commercial usage that ruined a song for me.

                Target's use of the Beatle's Hello Goodbye.....

                I had the song playing on my radio one day about a year ago and my kids said "Hey, that's the Target commercial song". I immediately slapped my hand to my forehead.

                  Hasn't ruined it for me but Katrina and the Waves' "Walking On Sunshine" has to be one of the most over-used movie and or commercial promo song of the last 25 years...

                    When I hear "Don't Stop" (Fleetwood Mac) I think of Bill Clinton

                          You talking about Gary Glitter?

                          Yeah, over the last 20 years, you can't go five minutes during college football season without having that played. I think it's law or something.

                              No doubt!

                              And yet, he is probably reaping untold fortunes from College Athletics as that song is played all the time.
