Songs that get stuck in your head

Do you have any songs that get stuck in your head?

I have two both are stuck in my head now.

The first one, well that one is from Electric Company, Billy lick a lolly



Billy Lick A Lolly   click to show 


and I was trying to get rid of it by using this song


Smokey and the Bandit theme song

Eastbound and Down   click to show 


It is a little surreal to skip from one to the other, but they are BOTH bouncing around in my head now.

I am convinced that the "Billy lick a lolly" song is dirty. Call me jaded, but it has to be.

Songs that get stuck in my head are usually the really fast ones, Blues Traveler for example, or Busta Rhymes... I "have to" listen to the song until I can can sing it... ("have to" in an OCD kind of way) Pretty cool for karaoke, but it's actually really taxing on my mind, because 99% of the day I have one of those songs on repeat.

I usually find that one of the more recent songs I hear bounces around in my head for a long time and I end up whistling it or humming it all day ...until I'm distracted by the next one. So I haven't thought of it for a long time but I just got back from lunch and besides enjoying the Sam Adams aftertastes, I still have the original "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" bouncing around in my head since the bar was playing that in the background.

Last few days, and often when I have an otherwise unencumbered mental moment, my brain is bopping with Toots and the Maytals wailing on "Pressure Drop" ...man, I love that tune and it just makes me want to sell all my worldly possessions and plant my butt on a Jamaican beach and fall in love with the babes who happen to walk by.

The technical term for this experience is earworm. In my college glee club, we had a cure for this: just sing "Goin' to the Chapel". Of course, the cure is worse than the disease.

"Everything She Wants" by Wham! always gets stuck in my head. That and "Lover, You Should Have Come Over" by Jeff Buckley. They've been trading places for a number of weeks now.

Byrnison an easier way to find that song is simply going to leekspin.com - I've heard it soo often I actually know the words which worries me.

I have the candy mountain song from the end of this in my head .... it's been there for DAYS!

Winner.


How does one come across such a convoluted song, let alone sync an even more deranged video to it?

Repetition seems to be the instigator of the earworm - I think the brain becomes wrongly convinced that it's receiving some kind of instruction, then gets obssessed with trying to decode the message. Hence, the simplest songs are often the most addictive.

Let's see this one lately:


I don't get many songs stuck in my head. Though the theme songs from 007, Indian Jones and Mission Impossible often find their way in my head on a weekly basis. Oh.. and that whistle from Kill Bill; you know the one I'm talking about:

About 5 years ago, I figured out that the opening riff to Bush, "Machinehead" is a perfectly efficacious mental disinfectant and prophylactic against earworms.

I regularly get "Mi cielito lindo" which you probably know better as "Waltz me around by my Willie" stuck in my head, and thinking the opening riff from "Machinehead" clears it right out (sometimes taking several applications). The lovely think is that the riff doesn't hang around (much) after use.

Lately I have had Johnny Clegg & Juluka's "Impi" stuck in my head. The problem is that I don't know all the words so I can't just play it through and dispel it that way, and yet it is poignant and entertaining enough that I have not resorted to the scorched earth policy with Bush.

As I occasionally find slight entertainment in inconsequential cruelty, I prefer to give people earworms. I find that Weird Al's "White & Nerdy" to be dreadfully persistent in the unprepared ear. (He chuckled sinisterly.)

It'd didn't initially hit me, but "Can't get you out of my head" by Kylie.

I didn't notice this song initially (guess I listen to the wrong stations) - but then I heard a toddler singing part of it. I think it must have been on a funny home videos show or something. After that, I keep getting flashbacks to the the little girl singing 'la la la, la la la la la la...".

Bad songs that get stuck in my head, "I Write the Songs" by Barry Manilow or "You Light Up My Life" by Debby Boone.

Good songs that get stuck in my head "A Beautiful Morning" by the Rascals, "A Summer Song" by Chad and Jeremy or "Crystal Blue Persuasion" by Tommy James. Usually while riding my bike on crisp sunny morning. "Riders On the Storm" by the Doors, when I get caught riding in the rain.

3 that tend to get stuck in my head if I hear them are Ziggy Stardust, and I'm Afraid of Americans, both by Bowie of course, and Karma Police by Radiohead.
Since I like Bowie and Radiohead and tend to listen to them alot one of those is usually what is stuck in my head at any given moment.

This little riff (-raff, ha) has been something stuck in the head of myself and a few friends of mine for many years- since high school, really (so, about 8 - 10 years).



I don't know how it happens, but something will set someone off... and then suddenly, someone is singing- yes, singing...

"Riff-raff"... "street rat"... I don't buy that... if only they'd look closer... would they see a poor boy? No, siree! They'd find out, there's so much more... to... me..........

Usually once someone starts it, it will be finished, no matter where we are. We have no shame to randomly burst into song in public. Like, one time we were in a mall... once it happened in a Walmart.
