You see, my problem is that I work in a place where I have to wear ear plugs and am pretty far from other people.  
So, I have very weird and random tunes running thru my head for 11 hours.  
Tonites playlist…two songs mixed together one of them being “Run Joey Run” and “The Homecomming Queen has got a Gun”, some 38 special, and thanks to Smeghead the modern major general song.  
Over and over again all night long!  
So, and weird and random songs you migh want to put on my weekend playlist in my head just step up to the DJ booth and put in your request.  
One night it was the asshole song.

Oh, you’re gonna hate these songs!

Weird and random, with a side order of annoying:

Jackie Blue  
Yummy Yummy Yummy  
Smokin’ In The Boys Room  
Georgie Girl  
Girl From Ipanema  
Afternoon Delight  
Ben  
The Night Chicago Died  
Safety Dance  
Macarena  
Seasons In The Sun  
That Crash Test Dummies song  
Rock Lobster  
The theme from Mary Tyler Moore

And just for good measure…

Who Let The Dogs Out

With songs like these, you’re liable to take out the earplugs and jam shish kabob skewers in your ears. 😃

I’ve already inflicted this one on **The Mermaid** recently: [Go Get the Ax](http://www.contemplator.com/folk4/gogetax.html)  
Sing it to yourself as you listen to the midi–no one has been evil enough to make an mp3 yet, I don’t think.

Warning: If you actually do this, you will hate me for life.

Alright Balance. I read the lyrics and it sounds like a crazy song. So, tomorrow I will listen to it and see what is up with it.

Thanks DireWolf, I now have Afternoon Delight stuck in my head.

The bad part about this whole thing is that it is only one verse that gets stuck over and over again, and sometimes, like this weekend it runs into different songs.  
I just need something new in my head right now.
