Every era:

Barbra Streisand and the Bee Gees - Woman in Love
My mom played that song CONSTANTLY when I was a kid!

Olivia Newton John - Physical
Played 3 times an hour on local radio at the time, nuff said.

Bruce Springsteen - 57 Channels and Nothing On
HATED this song but it was played to death more than Born in the USA ever was.

Many years ago myself and 3 friends were going to drive from NYC to Daytona Beach (@1100 miles) for Spring Break. Since none of us had a car that would make it there (let alone get us back) we rented a car. I don't remember what kind it was, but my friend (the one who actually rented it) had chosen it specifically because it had an 8-track player. We thought this was hysterical because 8-tracks were already obsolete and none of us had any 8-track tapes. There was a 'used record' store in the neighborhood so we stopped by to see if they had any tapes. They did, and sold us an entire cardboard box filled to the rim with them for $5. So we started on our trip. The box contained the usual assortment of stuff you'd never voluntarily subject yourself to. Then at the very bottom we found the 1st Partridge Family album. After laughing our asses off for five minutes we agreed that, all things considered, it was better than most of the other crap the box contained. So I rammed it in and away we went. After 5 minutes we'd had enough. But there was a problem. The tape was stuck, and the player was designed so that if a tape was inserted you couldn't turn it off. Then we discovered that the volume knob was broken. I'll leave it to your imagination as to what our collective mental state was by the time we reached Florida. To this day I still know the words to every song on that goddamned album.

1st runner up - Any fucking Christmas song before December 1st.

Pop music and the charts in perspective..this was actually a monster hit in the 80s

As I recall it was written by those that specialised in writing advert jingles for radio

Shoop Shoop Diddy Wop Cumma Cumma Wang Dang by the New Zealand band Monte Video and the Cassettes was a hit single of 1982 and 1983. The single appeared on the 1983 album Monte Video (Mushroom Records) [1]

To celebrate the song 20 years after its release, a cover of the song was done in 2002 by a New Zealand band, Spacial Verb, featuring employees of the then New Zealand radio station, Channel Z.

I work at an airport.I'm not sure why, but every time I find myself in our hangar, I start whistling Niel Diamond's Sweet Caroline.I have an extremely loud and irritating whistle, and it echoes to beat hell in there.Usually by the end of the week, everyone is walking around singing it

Sound of the ambulance siren. Har-har-har! Me funny me made a joke!

To be honest with you guys, the worst and longest living earworm I have ever experienced was "In the summertime" by Mungo bloody Jerry. When I was at my deepest valley of suffering I started to believe that piece of music was written by Satan and it was meant to drive people mad and jump out from the moving car/plane/bicycle.
Another one is song called "Chirpy chirpy cheep" by Middle of The Road, once I saw a dream where I strangled that helium-voiced singer but somehow she/it didn`t die and singed louder and louder. So to make sure not infected again by earworm, I hate ALL jolly "We can make it together"-music made in 70s, Mud, Smokie, Sailor, Abba, I always turn radio off and got cold shivers.
So there`s some good enough reasons for me to hate entire decade, bloody 70s......apart from porn of course!!!
It`s interesting to see how much speculative literature and films has been done about "Third Reich", what had happened IF they have won the war. That`s ok, it was very dark part in human history, but no one has ever speculated equivalent time in pop music, what IF punk rock never happened and all that bubblegum mumbojumbo pop had carried on forever forever? Everyone wearing wool vest with psychedelic patterns and stinky health-sandals???
