Sweet Caroline is way overplayed.

r/

I’m so sick of hearing Sweet Caroline at every public event, wedding and even on TV ads. Great song, but time to let it rest for a while. To much of a good thing….

    I was singing this in my head before seeing this post. I don’t even know why. Must have been on an ad or something, but I had it in my head then saw this. So nah I’m agreeing with you here.

    I agree. It is one of the most overrated songs of that era. Don’t get why people go nuts for that ba ba ba part. I’m totally with you I’d be happy if I never heard that song again lol.

    Neil Diamond probably rolls his eyes when he hears it.

    Hard agree. When you live around Boston, you get so fucking sick of it. And what’s with the “touching you, touching me” lyric? What is he, a sex freak?

    It’s a cultural thing.

    It’s not a mega hot to my ears. Feels like it should be a borderline wedding only song to me.

    Not unpopular with me. Fully agree. I’ve seen way too many drunk, way too enthusiastic people sing this in bars that I literally hate it in any setting.

    It’s not a great song. It’s a boring song. I roll my eyes and heavy sigh every time I hear it.

    It’s the song that was cool until it became popular with a new generation. They overplay it and add “Ba Ba Ba” which makes it extremely annoying

    I haven’t heard it in years. So clearly it’s not overplayed.

    I feel like it is always overplayed if you live in New England but elsewhere maybe not? I love it. Go Sox.

    It was played earlier today on the grid before the start of the Spanish GP (?!) I guess because the England football team were all there? It was weird.
