Because at some point someone will post it:

This is the song that never ends, it goes on and on my friends.  
Some people, started singing it, not knowing what it was.  
And they’ll continue singing it it forever, just because,  
This is the song that never ends…

The two most annoying songs in the world to have stuck in your head:

\*Yummy, Yummy, Yummy.  
I got love in my tummy,  
And I feel like lovin’ you…

Ooh I love to hold ya,  
Ooh I love to kiss ya,  
Ooh I love to love ya so.\*

and the equally saccharine:

_Sugar… aw, honey honey  
You are my candy girl  
And you’ve got me wanting you…  
Honey… aw, sugar sugar  
You are my candy girl  
And you’ve got me wanting you…_

Both of those get stuck in there with alarming frequency, and either one makes wish for _anything_ else to be stuck in my head… …like an ice-pick, or one of those specialized tools the ancient Egyptians used to pull your brain out through your nostrils.

I keep working my way back to you babe  
With a burning love inside…

I cannot listen to that once. If it ever gets stuck in my head, it will be time to put a gun in my mouth…

Yep, that one’s pretty bad. _Candy Man_ is another.

People talk about those songs all the time here. I must be lucky, I’ve never heard either one.

I work in a testing enviroment for hand held cable/antenna/satellite diagnostic tools. One test I do repeatedly all day is check for AM/FM Demodulation. We have it pre-set to a particular station that is running nothing but Christmas music 24/7.  
I am in hell.

_Santa, baby, hurry down the chimney tonight…_

click - fuzz

_Have a holly- jolly Christmas, and in case you didn’t hear; Oh by golly…_

click - fuzz

_Ohh me-oh my-oh, its Christmas on the Bayou…_

click - fuzz

For the last 6 hours. Every 10 mins or so…

[Bruce Springsteen] SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN! SANTS CLAUS… [/Bruce]

A double shot of Paul.

Simply having a wonderful Christmas time

I’m not sure what song it is, but it’s part of a Bob Marley tune. This one part gets stuck in my head on an endless loop.

_I’m jammin’, I’m jammin’, I’m jammin’, I’m jammin’, I’m jammin’, I’m jammin’, I’m jammin’, I’m jammin’,…_

Ha! I used to work at a place that played Christmas music in all the areas customers were likely to be around. Every one of those songs, amazingly enough – on a thirty-minute loop. (A sixty-minute cassette that was the same on both sides.)

Try frothing at the mouth and complaining about that to management – they shrug and make cute “scrooge” comments. _You’re not the ones that have to listen to each of those songs twenty times a day for a month, you bastards! Try piping that crap into corporate and see where it gets you!_ Aaaaargh.

_I get knocked down  
But I get up again  
They’re never gonna keep me down_

urgh.
