It just suddenly started playing in my head this morning after about the fourth time I got randomly juked on the freeway. [I Hate Everything About You by Ugly Kid Joe](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDfIOr1ByIc) Hmmm, hmmm, tum de dum… Hate everything about your sister too… ---

_Disenchanted_ by My Chemical Romance, just because the opening guitar bit makes a good cycling cadence. ---

> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > Same song, except that in my case, it’s been stuck in my head for about three days. Hey - me too! And I had never heard the song at all until we saw the SNL rerun two Saturdays ago, where Justin Timberlake cameo-ed. Funny skit, crappy song. Then, my daughter just got a iPod Touch, with an external speaker, and plays it just to drive me crazy. Damn it! Just by posting this, I have it back again! ---

> [@MrDibble](#): > > The closing song of the new Mickey Mouse Clubhouse show - the one that goes “Hot Dog, Hot Dog, Hot Diggety Dog…” Hey, at least you’ve got a They Might Be Giants song going. I’m stuck with “Just Can’t Wait To Be King” from _The Lion King_, and I completely blame my wife. She came downstairs this morning, muttering about “fricking stupid damn Lion King” (The Littlest Briston is on a _Lion King_ kick lately, watching it several times per week). I immediately knew she had an earworm going, and foolishly asked her what song. Unfortunately, she told me. _“Everybody look left! Everybody look right! Everybody look at me, standing in the spotlight!”_ ---

> [@installLSC](#): > > “MacArthur Park”, the Richard Harris version. Which is good because I’m apparently the only person in the universe who likes this song. No, you’re not. I enjoy it too. It’s so oddly melodramatic. I thought Richard Harris did it perfectly. ---

Part of my job involves installing software on Vista machines, which involves rebooting them multiple times. The four-note theme that plays whenever Vista starts up are the same four notes as the beginning of “New York, New York” (“it’s a helluva town…”). All. Day. Long. ---

I have acquired a new earworm today. While working on something this morning, I ran across the first name _Cecelia_, and of course, being a child of the seventies… [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2vNEXqHo_o) At least I have always loved this song. 🙂 ---

I have had the Old 97s song “Question” stuck in my head for about 4 days now. It’s a good song, but I really wish my mental jukebox would move onto something else. Especially since I mostly just get the beginning of the refrain and not the whole song. Someday sombody’s gonna ask you A question that you should say yes to Then repeat. Anyway, it is a good song.
