Sorry, I thought it might be a little patronizing to name them. I forget not everyone is old like me.
They are both Harry Nilsson songs. The first one is called “Coconut” and the other is “Me and My Arrow”.
You are so blessed not to recognise “Annie’s Song” (Airman Doors, USAF’ song).
Excuse me, I have to go play some Black Sabbath now.
If you are inquiring about the name of this song, it is Lucille by Kenny Rogers.
I shouldn’t frequent threads like this when I’m sick…songs seem to get stuck so much easier when my head feels like it’s been inflated to 90 psi. :smack:
That would be Ieva’s Polka, by Liotuma.
One that almost never fails for me is Princess Bride! by Kotoko (Youtube video.)
Also…the Cuppycake Song. But that one’s not just an earworm, it’s a freaking crime against humanity, so if you want to explore its earworminess, you’ll have to look for it yourself.
Agadoo, by Black Lace. It was a popular dance hit in the UK, I’m given to understand, and was given to me as a prank. American’s should thank OG they’ve mostly never heard of it.
I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas…
“Feel Like Makin’ Love” gets me 100% of the time. I hate that fucking song…
Rap Cat will make you laugh the first time you hear it, but for the rest of the day you’ll feel like pushing your head through a wall to make it stop.
You’re mean. And I love your version far more than the original. Just this vision of 400 children…
My nomination?
The Love Boat[ theme song:
I’m bad about getting old TV theme songs in my head - the other one that’s been in there recently is the them song to the Facts of Life:
But I find the Love Boat theme much worse.
Actually, you’re gonna need 18 songs, cause you have Popey the Sailor Man at both #27 & 59.
Anyway, some earwiggy songs:
“Mickey,” Toni Basil
“My Sharona,” The Knack
“Hollaback Girl,” Gwen Stefani
“Don’t Cha,” The Pussy Cat Dolls
“Muskrat Love,” The Captain and Tenille
“Kung Fu Fighting,” Carl Douglas
“My Ding-a-Ling,” Chuck Berry
“The Candy Man,” Sammy Davis, Jr.
I interviewed Kenny Rogers in the 80s and asked him about “Lucille.” He laughed and started singing it for me:
You picked a fine time to leave me, my dear,
With four pregnant daughters and a son that’s gone queer.
:smack:
We’re up to 96! (Thanks for catching the double Popeye!)
I didn’t see it on your list so I’d like to nominate “Good morning, Starshine”. Lately, I’ll just be walking along and next thing I know I’m singing th nonsense lyrics from that song. That’s the good thing about it, you don’t need to know the words.
I’ve also found that I can infect other people with it so I think that makes it more than qualified for this list.
Actually, that always goes into a Monty Python sketch for me:
"And now, the sound of John Denver being strangled.
You fill up my senses…. GAAAAAACCCCHHHHHHH…… koff…"
So it ends quickly.
I have a couple.
The Cat Came Back
Helen Had a Steamboat
I was bored last night, so I alphabetized the list if anyone wants it.
Sweet! We’re at 98, and alphabetical now!
How about Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep ?
never heard it, but I can see how it fits after watching the video!
Ok we now are at 99, which is ok, or one more will make 100
For that, you are now my mortal enemy. glare
I want to suggest Sugar, Sugar by The Archies.
ding and there we have 100, folks! Thanks
