I know what you mean. I love the song so much, but then it was on the commercials for um...that movie with Seth Rogan and James Franco. Radio stations started playing 24/7 until I couldn't stand to listen to it anymore.
I love the song "Jimmy" though and "Pickle Down River" both of which is on her second album (I think). I haven't listened to the first one.
my favorite mia song is "come around". :} but yeah, i know what you mean about paper planes. it's like every commercial that wants to seem cool has to play it. D:
Funny story about Paper Planes: At a dance, my friend went up and requested it. The DJ looked at him weird, then said "...It's already playing. Like, right now."
I like the song, and I was surprised when I found out that M.I.A. also did Bucky Done Gun. I'm just gonna trust your opinon that it's overplayed, because I never watch TV or listen to the radio.
It has started to bug me a bit now too, I guess it's a natural reaction though. And the rappers sampling it is so annoying, and half of them turn her beats/lyrics into crap, her music and lyrics have so much more originality and depth than that.
