Pet peeve -- classic songs that have been bastardized because of their too-frequent use in bad movies involving babies and animals, and/or commercials. Actually, I don't always mind the commercials so much. If not for OfficeMax "The Rubberband Man" would have been completely forgotten by modern music lovers. And that shit's a classic.
No, I'm talking about songs like "Rescue Me", a great song by a great singer that is now only heard when a filmmaker has to insert a montage into an already over-produced film and the song is used to demonstrate that someone is going through a stressful period in their life and, therefore, needs to be rescued. Not what Aretha intended it to be used for when she recorded it, I'll wager. Pisses me off. Because now every time I hear that song I think of "Mrs. Doubtfire" and I just don't need that in my head.
