Barry Manilow (over)uses the previous tonic to become the new

Really? That's tasteless? It seems perfectly fine to me. Rather
ordinary, true, but what's wrong with ordinary?
Heh, heh! It's overused, and anything overused gets old and by
extension, tasteless. "In the Mood" is perfectly fine tune, but
overplaying has taken the shine off it.
Is good old II-V-I tasteless now, too?
Depends on your circle. 8-)
