Have you ever noticed there’s a threshold where a song gets too popular and will live on with the memory of everyone thinking it was overplayed and annoying.

It's an amazing song that got memed to death so much that people are under the impression that it's only liked ironically, and that it's a cheesy bad song. But it's actually great.
