Another song that HAS to be mentioned as the 'throw dirt on it and put it out of our misery' song of the decade is one I think many will agree on:
I preached a Pastoral Anniversary Service a few years ago where they did a slide show of his 25 years as their Pastor. Good idea, sweet intentions.

The only problem was that they only had one song in the PowerPoint played over... and over... and over... and over. The whole 25 years was encapsulated in 350 picture trip down 'memory lane' accompanied by a VERY monotonous "Thank You For Giving To The Lord" a grand total of 13 times in a row!!!

It got so bad that everytime it would start over people would start howling laughing! I almost felt sorry for the folks but, hey, after 13 times in a row you can't blame them for laughing!

Good song - kind of enjoyed it the first 58 times I heard it, just endured it the next 210 times I heard it. It's all those other 239,599,020,247 times that I had to listen to it that have kind of left a bad taste in my mouth!

LOL!!!!! Now that's funny. We did that one once as a black light/gloves song...that freshened it up a little. But its definitely way overused.

There IS something to be said for singing a new song to the Lord!!!!! Sometimes you can bring back a really old song, and its new again.

Another one that is way overused - "I Feel Jesus In the House Tonight"
