Everyday by Buddy Holly. Probably because a slower more dramatic version was featured in this recent movie commercial. I looked it up on the IMDB, though, the song isn’t in the movie.
I think they did that with a Yes song with the movie Big Fish too… Really sucks because, while its a great movie, I really like the band Yes and would’ve loved to see something of theirs in a Tim Burton film.
Weird thing is I’m only 23.
Oh hell yes. The first time I heard this song, it was from the lips of my five year old, who can’t carry a tune in a bucket, so it sounded even more like the stereotypical reference to 70s porno music than the actual song does. I surely cross examined her about where she’d heard that!
I’ve got one better:
Siiiimply, Haaavin’
a wonderful Christmas time
Just that part, including the bad synthesizer notes. Go ahead, sing it once. It refuses to leave.
I’ve had various Burl Ives songs in there for a few weeks - Today is a song about a whale with an appetite.
Helloween’s “A Tale That wasn’t Right”. Good song, but not one where I want to listen to the same three or four lines over and over and over again.
For some reason the song Edelweiss from the Sound of Music has been running through my head all day. I can live with that, though. The worst earworm I ever had was the song “All Star” by Smash Mouth. Had that stuck in my head for literally what seemed like a month back when it first came out. And I didn’t particularly like the song, either.
They play that episode every bloody day, I swear. Somehow my husband has managed to escape hearing it, so he has no idea why I’m bitching. :rolleyes: I can’t even share my pain!
On Black Friday a local news reporter interviewed somebody who looked vaguely like Peter Boyle. Ever since I’ve been hearing “Puttin’ on the Ritz” as performed by Boyle and Gene Wilder.
The Fallout 3 soundtrack is chock full of annoying earbugs. I just recently managed to chase out Easy Living by Billie Holiday (As heard on Galaxy News Radio in Fallout 3) with a strong dose of “Hell” by Squirrel Nut Zippers.
Of course, now I’m humming that at work, which is worse.
I do not know why, but for three days now I’ve had Sublime’s Smoke Two Joints in my head as I wake up in the morning.
I don’t smoke pot.
I don’t even like Sublime that much.
I don’t know WHERE it’s coming from!
This is my current earworm, a catchy tune called The Rhino Song.
Just 'cause I’m evil like that:

I just heard that ‘Grandma got run over by a raindeer’ song and it’s been running roughshod through my mind ever since. I hate that fucking song. If I were queen I’d have it banned forever.
ETA: during the non-holiday season, I’m often plagued by the Wow Wow Wubsy song (Wow wow Wubsy, Wubsy Wubsy wow wow…)
Mine is I Love You, Ono by Stereo Total.
You may hate it at first, but it will stick. Oh yes, it will stick.
Is that song supposed to sound like the Venga Boys “We Like to Party”?
That link doesn’t seem to go where you think it does.
This side of the pond we have a T.V. advert that has as its backing music a song called “Here come the girls”
Which is,excuse my Anglo Saxon, doing my FUCKING head in.
I’ve had Ben Folds’ ‘Songs of Love’ in my head since I woke up this morning, which would be fine except that I haven’t had the album long enough to know most of the words yet. I need to sit down and listen to it a dozen times or so, which I’ve found gets rid of the earworm, weirdly enough. It’s like there’s some part of my brain that really, really wants to hear the song, and if I satisfy it, it stops bothering me.
Stupid NPR. On Friday, they did a thing on Tom Jones and played part of “It’s Not Unusual” (of course). That’s been going through my head since then, but only the part that they played – because that’s all I know of it.
I’ll trade any of you. I’m not kidding. We lost a co-worker this weekend, unexpectedly, at the age of 50. One of the best people you’d ever meet.
All morning long, I’ve been hearing a song sung at my granny’s funeral back in September:
*Farther along we’ll know all about it,
Farther along we’ll understand why;
Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine,
We’ll understand it all by and by. *
Sounds like a frickin’ funeral dirge, too.
