WORST Song to Have STUCK in Your Head?
Melki wrote: "Oh, Hazel...that is truly awful."a great series though, the Japanese theme tune is much better. And the ultimate deterrent that they use is hilarious.
A number of years ago a car drove past me blaring out Cher 'Do You Believe In Life After Love?' just as I walked into work. It was stuck on heavy rotation in my head for the whole day at work. Eight very painful hours.
"Rico... Suave..."or
the single line from James Blunt: "you're beautiful, it's true..."
And now I hate myself, because both are stuck in alternating rounds.
It's raining men ... no other song compares .. i'm sorry i ever listened to that song and what do u know this thread has caused it to play on loop in my head
I once caught the chorus of Jason Segel's Wonky Eye and carried it around for three days. I finally shook it off, but not before intentionally transmitting it to several close friends. I'm convinced memorably bad songs were the original viral marketing ploy. I should come with something horrible and catchy to promote Hardrock... Mwah ha ha ha

Crap Melki! I was virus free and feeling wickedly smug about Wonky Eye, and now dang it - I'm all "We are siamee..eese if you plee..ease!" I'm sure I'll be singing it at tionights's Chamber banquet. I think I'll share...
My little sis goes around singing the first two bars to "London Bridge is falling Down" again and again. I had that song stuck in my head all day at work. I am very tired of it, but she isn't :D
Any song by Queen. Don't get me wrong - Freddie Mercury was a megatalent. But just try it: "Another one bites the dust, another one bites the dust..."Are you with me?
Argh! Gotta agree with the Queen songs. Some of the worst lyrics ever written, yet they're glued to the catchiest tunes in the world. A deadly combination for getting stuck in the brain...
The one I always get stuck in my head is Bob the Builder's Can We Fix It, no matter how small a snippet I hear it gets stuck in my head for days afterwards...don't ask me why, I've got no idea!!!
My youngest son had a brief obsession with Bob the Builder. One day my husband made up a story about Bob's hapless encounter with Roley the Road Roller, and we sang "Bob the Pancake" forever after that.

It probably explains a lot about why he is the way he is.
And the answer to can he fix it, is of course, "No, sireee!" as pancakes don't seem to have much in the way of opposable thumbs.

HAhahaaha too funny! I don't know if anyone watched "Jeeves and Wooster" anymore but the thyme song gets stuck in my head terribly. It is nice at first but after a day or two it gets very old.
My sisters kids played this song for me by some actors kid, i think its Will Smiths kid actually,well this was stuck in my head for weeks."I whip my hair back and forth! I whip my hair back and forth!'
And that because its the only freaking thing the kid says through the whole song!!
CRAP! Now its stuck in my head again!
BTW I love Jeeves and Wooster! So funny!
...we are Siameeese, if you pleeease...Great! Now, see what you've done,lol,(sings) "I can't get it out of my head" lol
Whose idea was this again??!!

Calliope - If you haven't seen it, then you absolutely must check out Jimmy Fallon as Neil Young singing this song. And the real Bruce Springsteen joins in! Google it or try:

It will implant the song further, but it's worth it!
whenever I think of sesame street, this is the tune that comes to mind:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUL4T8...
I spent much of the weekend with the yodeling parts of Hocus Pocus by Focus circling round my brain.

Not so much a bad song, but one I haven't been able to shift for about 2 years: Flashback, the 1981 Imagination classic. It can be triggered by virtually any two syllable word or words that vaguely rhyme - hatchback, claptrap, cat flap, fat cat, flat cap, knapsack and so many more. My life is hell. Please, if you can, I beg you...help me. Here it is if you want to suffer forever: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ocvu-M...
this isn't a bad song to have stuck in your head, but I've been on a youtube marathon, and I was on Tim Minchin, Canvas bags, which I'll share first, cos its awesome:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTQ9Tp...
And this always leads me to 4 Chord Song, by Axis of Awesome:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pidok...
Which always ends up leading me to this:

and for some reason, today it took me here next, I can't fathom my mind at times:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9NF2e...
I played this one for my teenager because I thought it was funny.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzC4hF...
BIG MISTAKE! Of course, he loves it...and plays it ALL THE TIME.

This song will get any other song out of your head: Check out http://blip.tv/file/5480542
As a game, I like to sing a few bars of an annoying song and see if the person starts singing it later. My wife and I have gotten each other many times. I'll find myself singing some dumb song and know that my wife must have gotten me. These post have given me some great ammunition.

Wow! I think I'd rather have tinnitus ringing around my head than Neil Diamond.

Guy wrote: "Sounds like a fun game Rodney. If only I could sing, I'd give it a try."You don't have to know how to sing. In fact it makes it work much better if you don't. In a low voice, sing an obscure part of the song and stop. Your victim, then has to subconsciously work out in his head where he knows that from. By the time he/she has figured it out, it is deeply imbedded in their head. If you are off key, then it takes longer to figure out, making it worse!

Brenda wrote: "You must have a strong marriage to survive that kind of torture."It's a matter of perspective, we both know our intent is good, so it just becomes a fun game.
“My Heart Will Go On” by Celine Dion is officially 1 of the most annoying songs ever. I succeeded in banishing it from my head a while back. As long as don't hear it again should be okay. Here in the UK it is a very popular funeral song. Not sure if it's the same in the US.

Until you choose the wrong song and she can't get it out of her head, so she starts sneaking Ex-Lax into your meals? :-)

Ironic that the song itself will not be relegated to the choir invisible.

The daughter is auditioning for the role of Sandy in a summer theater production so "I'm Hopelessly Devoted to You" is being sung in the background in my house so much these days that I think I hear it even when I'm home alone.
Lisa wrote: "The daughter is auditioning for the role of Sandy in a summer theater production so "I'm Hopelessly Devoted to You" is being sung in the background in my house so much these days that I think I hea..."I don't even know the words to that one Lisa. And I'm not going to listen to them in case the same happens to me.








I only know 4 lines of this song, and 3 of them are identical. This officially beats the time I had "We Are Siamese If You Please" in my head for an entire afternoon.
What's the worst sticky-song you've experienced? And what do you do to make it go away?
