Cause I been to California  
Where Mickey Mouse is such a demon  
Where Mickey Mouse is as big as a house

And I cry, all night, do you wanna hold me, hold me tight"

Bow Wow Wow, “Do You Wanna Hold Me”

‘Defying Gravity’ from the musical ‘Wicked’. Great song, but very. . . persistent.  
_And if I’m flying solo  
at least I’m flying free  
to those who’d ground me  
take a message back from me:  
Tell them how I  
am defying gravity  
I’m flying high,  
defying gravity. . ._

“First…and Then” by Handsome Boy Modeling School, featuring Dres. It’s more “gangster” than most of the hip-hop I listen to, but it’s just so damn catchy.

You bastard! :smack: 😃

Ha! At least that’s a cute song, but yeah, three days would be maddening. There was one day that I had the map song from \*\*Dora the Explorer \*\* in my head…all day.

I’m amazed that I only recognize a handful of songs in this entire thread!

For me it’s the song from The Grinch movie where all the Hoos in Hooville are holding hands around the tree and singing something about Christmas day.

Just found it:

Welcome Christmas, fahoo ramus  
Welcome Christmas, dahoo damus  
Welcome Christmas while we stand  
Heart to heart and hand in hand

Seriously? _Blue Danube_, Strauss. But just one 15-second snip from the middle. I was listening to some classical music on my way home from work (broadening my horizons and so forth), and it’s been lodged in my head ever since.

Ah well. There’s worse music that could get stuck there.

For a couple of days it’s been that Gwen Stefani song that rips off _The Sound of Music_. “wind it up”, I believe.

And currently: (quite workunsafe song about anal sex)
