I put “American Pie” in the same category as “Freebird” … iconic songs that were ruined from being overplayed on FM radio.

Yep, early 72, senior yr in haw scewl, driving around in my 69 falcon, the am radio played A-P to death. I remember flipping channels once and the other pop/rock station I could get clearly, was playing it as well.

I remember American Pie in my 20’s, as a late night bar song that meant I was getting laid.

I would put American Pie in an overplayed category all by itself.

For my generation, that overplayed song was “With arms wide open” by Creed.

[Veto!]

Great song.

An old boyfriend called me Miss American Pie because I was so patriotic, even back then. I wasn’t so sure about the levy and the good old boys drinking whiskey and rye cuz I didn’t drink.
