No, LOL I don't have XM just a nice little bit of syncronicity there. I thought I was the only one who was driven nuts by Hippy Chick, KROQ used to play it to death. Then one of the DJ's said that when they play the song the switchboard would light up with complaints.

Oh and let me add... Animotion - Obsession Hell I hated it when it was used in the commercial for Chris Atkin's A Night In Heaven which was looong before Animotion got a hold of it!! (Just had to prove how long this one bugged me).
