There’s sort of an observer effect at play too though.
The more you hear it, the less interesting it is to you. The song doesn’t change, but your perception does, and you develop an acquired taste in music that way.

While true for some songs, others grow on you or stay good for eternity. My favourite all-time song hasn’t changed in 30 years: Black (Colin Vearncombe) - Wonderful Life

That song had a revival recently. I don’t remember hearing it when it came out, but it has been on my coworkers radio every day for the last couple of months. Maybe it has been on a TV show or something. Great song.

In the past two decades there’s been a bunch covers that I know of (or just learned of):
and then a bunch of electronic music mixes.
I love that song since the 80s; and for a long time - until the early 2000s I knew no covers - so I am very happy that there’s a lot of tributes to Black with lots of different styles :)

I just heard it again my radio on my way home. I still don’t know why it’s so suddenly popular again right now and it’s puzzling me.
Anyway, it has stood the test of time, and I think that’s about the only way to actually find the greatest songs.
