Ice, Ice Evil

Have you ever had a song stuck in your head? I’m pretty sure everyone could say yes to that one. Sometimes you get songs stuck in there that are new and just get played into the ground. For example, Katy Perry’s “Roar” is on all the time. It was ok the first few hundred times I heard it but it is everywhere. A little while ago, Fun had a huge hit with “We are Young”. That one was stuck in my cranium for quite a while. A couple years ago my kids were really into a song called “Fireflies”. That one became annoying really fast. Some are good songs but are overplayed. Others are just bad songs with a lot of money behind them. That combination never ends well. Take for example, ANY SONG BY MILEY CYRUS. There's just too much money behind bad songs. Take for example M.C. Hammer’s “U Can’t Touch This.” Other songs just happen to be the song that came on the radio when your alarm went off or the last song on your car radio before you turn off the car. I went through a week with “Hey Jude” from the Beatles because of that. Another time I was going to work and the last song I heard was “Margaritaville” by Jimmy Buffet. Needless to say, I didn’t get much done that day. Songs getting stuck can sometimes help. I was in a bad mood one day and heard, “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright” by Bob Marley. It is nearly impossible to be in a bad mood when you hear that song. I highly suggest it as a remedy. For every good song, however, there are usually a few bad ones. In my life there has been one song that could get stuck in my head and not leave for days or even weeks. I do not even need to hear it. If someone just goes, “Ding-ding-ding-da-da-ding-ding. Da-ding-ding-ding-da-da-ding-ding”, BAM! Vanilla Ice’s “Ice, Ice Baby” is stuck in there. I try to think of other songs or other things but it is no use. That riff just keeps playing in my head. It is evil. Queen and David Bowie sure knew what they were doing when they made the piece the Ice Man ripped off. As I said at the start of this blog, I think everyone can relate to the situation. When it happens I just turn to the Classic Rock station and my problems eventually go away. What are some songs that have become ingrained in your brain?
