I have been working on my website, and one page that I’ve had around for… oh god… MANY years. Since before the SDMB left AOL, for example… is my “World’s Worst Songs to Get Stuck In Your Head” page. I recently cleaned it up while moving all of my content over to my new database driven, blog-software based website…
Anyway I was just looking at it today for totally unrelated reasons and something bothered me. The list is 83 songs. WTF kind of list has 83 items? It’s so random and untidy. I figure it should really be either 99 or 100, and so I come to you kind people to help me finish the list.
Here it is in all its 83-item glory:http://opalcat.com/Fun/worst-songs
(check first to make sure your song isn’t already there)
so who can nominate #84 ?
How about the Leek Spin song? It’s actually kinda cute but it does get stuck in your ear…

My personal #1 on this list would be Mexican Radio .
hocow: the list is not in any order, there is no hierarchy of relative irritation. Mostly it’s in the order of how they were sent in.
AHunter: Never heard of it…?
I have this really weird urge to go buy some leeks and try it
I don’t know what it means, but while looking at your list I started hearing (in my head):
“You put the lime in the coconut
which led to
“Me and my arrow
I guess it could be worse.
“You fill up my senses, like a night in a forest…”
Try getting that one out of your head. Good luck.
I never get songs stuck in my head

oh… and I have teflon brain cells

I realize it’s not a numbered list. I was just saying if I made the list that song would be number 1.
And the leek spinning song is *Leva’s Polka * by Loituma.
Ah ok–I thought you were suggesting a possible reordering.
Hah. I don’t know that I’ve ever heard it. The lyrics don’t look familiar. Neener neener I’m safe from your song of doom!
I don’t know what that song is? What is the title?
We’re up to 87 now… 88 if I get the title for this one
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
(Yes, I know it’s really four hungry children. But my way is more earwormy)
The Nothing Song by Alice in Chains
“The nothing song sticks to your mouth like peanut butter on the brain…”
They designed it to be annoying, even reversing the simile to bother people.
I don’t know that one, either. (Could people please include the title of the song when posting random lyrics, so I can put it on the list? Thanks)
Edited to add: the four hungry children one–I see now that another post snuck in before mine.
I nominate American Pie , in any of it’s incarnations.
Damn, now it is stuck in my head!! Aggggghhhhhhhh!
Who the fuck is Alice? We used to play it during surgery, but stopped when a client came in unbeknownst to all. Plus it sticks like peanut butter.
