Do you ever get songs/tunes stuck in your head that you just can't stop humming or singing?

I've got one of those "earworms" right now:

Tony Christie's "(Is This The Way To) Amarillo". The kids where I work keep singing it too - I think it's stuck in more heads than just mine!!

You listen to the song, on your computer or whatever, and usually it goes away. :)

LOL. What about that famous Lamb Chop song?

"This is the song that never ends. Yes, it goes on and on, my friend. Some people started singing it not knowing what it was, and they'll continue singing it forever just because...

This is the song that never ends..."

And so on! I will never forget that song. It's been years and I haven't!

Really, any catchy jingle off a commercial will do.

Yeah, I had that rap song "candy shop" or whatever it's called stuck in my head all day because someone was singing it in the morning or something like that.

Annoying songs? I know LOTS of annoying songs. Necessary for any kid who went to my elementary school to know. Anyway, we already seem to have the good old "Song that Never Ends", now we need "I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves, BUMP, everybody's nerves, BUMP, everybody's nerves, BUMP, I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves, and this is how it goes BUM BUM BUM, I know a song...." And so on.

Then "Rats? I hate rats. They drive me crazy. I was crazy once. The put me in the loony bin. It's cold there, it's dark there, there's rats there. Rats? I hate rats..." And so on.

Then "Worms? I hate worms. They drive me crazy. I was crazy once. They locked me in the loony bin. I died there. They buried me. It's cold there, it's dark there, there's worms there. Worms? I hate worms..." And so on.

If you can't tell, I'm a master at annoying the hell out of people. I hope none of my little songs got caught in anyone's head!

::edit:: Oh, darn, I almost forgot one! We heard this one from my friend's dad.

Hee hee, hee hee, to the funny farm,

where life is beautiful all the time

and I'll be happy to see those

nice young men in their clean white coats

and they're coming to take me away! HA HA!

Hee hee, hee hee, to the happy home,

With tree and flowers and chirping birds,

And baskey weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes

and they're coming to take me away, HA HAAAAA!!!!!!

It would be funnier if I could hear the actual tune. Same goes for all those songs.

One song that i can't get off my mind is the Simple Plan "Shut Up"- it's good cause sometimes some people just need to shut up.

So shut up, shut up, shut up

Don't wanna hear it

Get out, get out, get out

Get out of my way

Step up, step up, step up

You'll never stop me

Nothing you say today

Is gonna bring me down

That's Great spiritual advice for anybody ! :idea:

Life is a book, you have to read it to achieve it- invent your own novel

I must be a "catchy song" magnet, as before I had (Is This The Way To) Amarillo" stuck in my head, I couldn't stop humming Maroon 5's "This Love". :roll:

To be honest, it's the really annoying songs like those that I'm immune to. I work with kids and they seem to love winding adults up with those sort of songs. I know - I was once a child like that... :D

The songs that seem to get stuck in my head are actual 'proper' songs, such as something that I hear on the radio in a morning and then can't stop humming for the rest of the day...

man, i had "this love" in my head for the longest time, which really sucked cuz i hate that song. the worst is when you get a song in your head that you don't really know, so it's the same 8 bars or so forever! the trick is to have an arsenal of the catchiest songs ever to get less catchy songs out. particle man, anyone? :brow:

lol, yes it always seems to be a small bit of the song that gets stuck in my head too.

Anyway, I seem to have got rid of (Is This The Way To) Amarillo. I just can't stop humming Maria by Blondie now, instead....

Aaaaagh! :kaioken:
