There's also 'It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)' by
REM, which is ace. And 'Hit' by the Wannadies is kind of a list song - he
lists the days of the week at least.

I think he's just sick of them. All the things he moans about could be
described as 'ubiquitous' so I guess he's just tired of seeing the same
mediocre things again and again and again. The only one I can remember,
though, is Ginger Spice. I quite like the song, myself. It'd be funnier if
they'd included Angus Deayton in the list of people he'd had enough of -
well it'd be funnier when you watched the video (which starts well but runs
out of steam after about thirty seconds).
