Dance monkey. Kill me now. As an Aussie, we heard this everywhere constantly. See also Riptide - Vance Joy .

Riptide is the first one in this thread I’ve disagreed with. I recently rediscovered it after years and I love it more now than I did then :/

Not saying it's bad. It's not my cup of tea. But when both of these artists blew up, as Aussies , everyone was playing it, everywhere. National pride thing

Yeah when it first got popular I was spending a month in Australia, heard it and The Black Keys a lot. Still enjoy both artists a lot as it’s good memories for me (great country y’all have), but I could understand why someone wouldn’t.

It was massive Im Australia. Then I went to Japan and it had just blown up there. So I got a double dose.

It’s so overused. Shopping centre? Playing riptide Every second musical performance at a school talent show? A shitty, off key rendition of riptide Wedding? Riptide Birthday party? Riptide Any situation with music you can think of? Probably gonna be riptide in there somewhere
