Viva La Vida

Literally means "live your life", but it's also a Coldplay song. Basically, it's another song that was fairly good when it came out, then people abused it over and over, such as the local radio playing it every hour, and now it's one of those ones that is annoying and makes you want to contemplate suicide.
Our radio station plays Viva La Vida every hour.
