Get the clear channel mug.
(Verb)
When an obnoxious song is being overplayed. Typically nobody (at all, in the entire world) actually likes the song; but it gets played frequently on the radio. Mostly because Clear Channel wants to make people listen to it - those sick bastards!

See:
Foster The People - Pumped Up Kicks
Grouplove - Tongue-tied
"Shit! This song AGAIN! The vocals sound like screaming children. Why the fuck?!"
"They're clear channeling this one man, escape to NPR."
