Mr. Roboto – by Styx; it came up on my ipod and I’ve been singing it for two days Ballroom Blitz – I don’t know who it’s by, but get the 70’s version, not the Wayne’s World version–it’s great ---

Anything off of [this CD](http://www.counterpoint-music.com/specialties/patboone.html). Enter Sandman is particularly blood curdling. Relax ~ Frankie Goes to Hollywood Don’t Worry, Be Happy ~ Bobby McFerrin ---

Some more earworminess: “Feelings” (whoa, whoa, whoa, feelings) by Moris Albert “MMBop” by Hanson “Don’t Cha” by the Pussycat Dolls (bonus points for the re-recorded version that was used as the theme for the 2006 Golden Globes) “I’m Too Sexy,” Right Said Fred “Cotton Eyed Joe,” Rednex “Informer” by Snow ---

Yes…excellent. This is coming together nicely. I’ll be able to hear the crying from Michigan if I keep up this route. ---

[QUOTE=gigi] Oo, that reminds me! “Manic Monday” by Belinda Carlisle. And “Cecilia” by Simon and Garfunkle. [/QUOTE] Manic Monday was done by the Bangles. Sweet Home Alabama the Yuma song quite of few Japanese pop songs actually. And even though it gets stuck in my head, I like the [Ninja song](http://www.7secondsoflove.com/ninja/) and the [leopard song](http://www.rathergood.com/looking/) and of course I [like the moon!](http://www.rathergood.com/moon_song/) ---

I don’t even know any other words to this song (or its name or who sings it), but I often find it running through my head… “Blinded by the light. Wrapped up like a douche, another rotor in the night” The fact that it makes no sense and that it really sounds like “douche” (not “deuce” or any of the other suggested lyrics) bugs me enough that I dwell on it and it digs deeper and deeper into my brain. Sounds perfect for your cause. 🙂 ---

I’m pissed. I saw the thread title and immediately thought of “Yummy Yummy Yummy”. Others beat me to it. Otherwise, I’m a little hurt. I **like** some of the songs suggested, and wouldn’t mind having them as an earworm for a while. ---

I wasn’t even thinking evil when I heard this song on the radio last night. I woke up with the sound of the future lilting in my head. “In the Year 2525” by Zager and Evans ---

Wrapped up like a douche, another rotor in the night” [/QUOTE] “Blinded By The Light” originally recorded (and written) by Bruce Springsteen, with a cover by Manfred Mann’s Earth Band about a decade later. The Boss’s is mostly guitar and piano (with his unmistakable voice), while the later has a prog-rock treatment. **LOUNE** , I still think you’re missing out by not including The Tokens. My friend Gary and I infected an entire engineroom of guys with that in only five minutes, and it took many hours for it to go away. ---

Move 'em on, head 'em up, Head 'em up, move 'em out, Move 'em on, head 'em out Rawhide! Set 'em out, ride 'em in Ride 'em in, let ‘em out, Cut ‘em out, ride ‘em in Rawhide. Such an annoying song to have rollin’, rollin’, rollin’ in your head all day. ---

I got fed up with Kazaa and just killed it (and had to sift through the offending spyware, to boot). I’ll add it on your recommendation. The fourth CD is just a hodgepodge, with no rhyme or reason to it. Third CD is done: -Mr. Roboto by Styx -867-5309 -Mmm Mmm Mmm by the Crash Test Dummies -Keep Their Heads Ringin’ by Dr. Dre -Wheel in the Sky by Journey -The A-Team theme song -Breathe by Prodigy -I Believe I Can Fly by R.
