It’s “Dancing Queen”.
I have no idea why I’m singing it, but I just realized that I was sitting here at the reference desk ever so slightly bobbing my head to the tune and singing it under my breath.
I’m mortified. Really. I hope no one noticed.
A few years ago, my brother introduced me to a novel way to remove an ohrwurm from one’s head. The problem is that the cure is often worse than the affliction.
If you hum “Karma Chameleon” by Culture Club, it’s guaranteed to replace any tune whatsoever in your head. How you get rid of that though, I have no idea.
I myself haven’t been able to shift the song “Hackensack” by Fountains of Wayne for an entire MONTH now. I only heard it once, too.
I’m Ennery the Eighth I am,
Ennery the Eighth I am I am,
I got married to the widow next door,
She’s been married seven times before…
I’ll trade ya…got “I Want You” by Savage Garden stuck in my head.
Damn college radio station.
Well I’ve got “Wake Up Little Suzie” by S&G in my head lol
It’s a small world after all…
It’s a small world after all…
It’s a small world after all…
You’re welcome. 
I’ve got the opening keyboard riff from Type O Negative’s “My Girlfriend’s Girlfriend” stuck in my head.
I always tend to get stupid ditties from Flash animations stuck in my head. Hats for Clowns lasted two days, which wasn’t too bad, but four days of the Musk Ox Cleaning Song nearly drove me round the twist.
It’s still there.
Seriously folks, thanks for the help. I think I’ll go check out the new Encyclopedia of Plague and Pestilence to try to take my mind off it.
See that girl, watch that scene, dig it, the Dancing Queen, lalalalalala. Just in case you were almost over it. And thanks for putting it in MY head.
It’s all about sharing the joy.
Like a bat outa hell I’ll be gone when the morning comes…
that and
I. Wanna rocknroll all night! And party everyday!
get stuck routinely. Argggg!
Though some joker did manage to inject my fagile gray matter with some freaking Lionel Ritchie this afternoon in the Pit. Luckily, I can’t recall the poster’s name.
So you got to let me know…
Should I stay or should I go?
Haha, Blonde, is that song still in your head? Now I won’t be able to get away from it all day. AGAIN!! AAAARGH!
How many tmes do I have to tell you people???
The sure-fire way of getting a song out of your head is to sing Amazing Grace to the tune of Gilligan’s Island!
The mental excercise of thinking of the lyrics of one and the tune of the other tends to cancel out the musicality of it all.
Well, unless you’re like me who’s practiced it enough that I just get “Gilligan’s Grace” stuck in my head.
Always tease tease tease
You’re happy when I’m on my knees
One day is fine, next is black
So if you want me off your back…
AAAAGGHHH!
Man, I had this one going thru my head a few days ago. I had just seen Arthur Treacher on “The Beverly Hillbillies,” and it reminded me of the stirring rendition of this song which he gave (in crown and robes, no less!) on “The Merv Griffin Show” when he was co-host.
i just got back from a gig we played at, and i got this amazing song from the headliners (who go by the wierd name ‘sofa king high’. like ‘king prawn’ (if you know who they are) but much faster and more agressive, and with added samples :)). they’re so good, but damn them!!!
Hey … I have a 2 year old… Try waking up at 2:00am with ‘Elmo’s song’ stuck in your head! Or realize you’re wandering through the grocery store humming something from ‘Bear in the Big Blue House’
gah
That’s okay, the young persons just told me that the first three Muppet movies have recently been released on DVD, and now I’m walking around singing, “Why are there so many songs about rainbows/and what’s on the other side?”
