Teacher’s Pet!  
I wanna be teacher’s pet.  
I wanna be huddled and cuddled  
As close to you as I can get.

Courtesy in this case of Parker Posey, in Waiting for Guffman.

Good Mornin’ America, How are ya  
Don’t you know me

I’m the train they call The City of New Orleans  
I’ll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done…

'course then, I just read the Amtrak thread…

I thought twice about posting to this, since I became universally hated the last time around for mentioning “The Gambler” which apparently got stuck in the heads of several people after reading the thread.

However, the song du jour for my head is:

Fire (the Elmer Fudd version)

_Widing in my cawh … tuwn on the wadio …_

the Oompa-Loompa song attacks at random moments, there’s no telling when it’ll hit. It’s really awful, and I don’t know how to get rid of it - I don’t even own the damn movie.

Oompa-Loompa, doopedeedo,  
I’ve got another question for you…

Lord, I was born a ramblin’ man  
Trying to make a livin’ and doin’ the best I can  
And when it’s time for leavin’  
I hope you’ll understand  
That I was born a ramblin’ man

And I don’t know why. I don’t even like the Allman Bros.

I’ve had the theme song to “It’s Garry Shandling’s Show” stuck in my head ever since I read [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=83498).

Thanks, Eve.

I had _I Got My Mind Set on You_ stuck in my head until I read the quote of the lyrics to _Mickey_. Now _Mickey_’s stuck in my head. Thank God.

Will you? Will you now? Would you die for me? Don’t you fuckin’ lie.

Don’t you step out of line  
Don’t you step out of line  
Don’t you step out of line  
Don’t you fuckin’ lie

You claimed all this time that you would die for me.  
Why then are you so surprised when you hear your own eulogy?  
I love that song.

_Judy Is A Dick Slap_ by Belle & Sebastian, for two and a half days, now. It’s an instrumental, so unfortunately I can’t spread the disease to you, much as I’d like to (because, as I’m sure we all know, to get a song out of your head you must pass it to someone else, so they may suffer from it).
