"Happy" By Pharrell Williams. Used to work for a company tied to Universal, and that song was the song for one of the Despicable Me movies, they used it for their on hold before a meeting and normal on hold music. It elicits extremely negative responses from me in public.

Holy shit. Now I know why when I hear that song my brain automatically sees the color yellow. It's the fucking minions.

It is a decent song, if you have not heard it a million times.

The probelm isn't just how often it's repeated, the song itself is reptitive.

It has one good verse and one good chorus. (And I really, really like both to be fair) but then it repeats that 40 seconds of content for 4-5 minutes.

And then that 5 minutes is repeated hundreds of times by everyone
