…And now I’m fighting desperately to keep the theme song of that Preparation H guy from Conan from entering my head.
The LA Times just ran an article about the science behind this phenomenon.
For the past few days I’ve been walking around singing
doo doo doo doo etc. Well realy it was the tunes from levels 1-1 and 1-2 of Super Mario Bros. The old one from the NES system. It’s not such a bad song to have stuck though, I’ve had worse.
I took a fish head
Out to see a movie
It didn’t cost
He got in for free
Fish heads, fish heads
Roly poly fish heads
Fish heads, fish heads
Eat them up, yum.
For the last two months, at one point or another during the course of every single day, for some God forsaken reason, I’ve spontaneously began to whistle the theme from C.H.I.P.S..
I think I’m posessed.
TUESDAY MORNING: Whitney Houston was singing “I Wanna Dance with Somebody Who Loves Me”
Also i have heard:
U2 - One
Midnight Oil- Beds Are Burning
Crowded House - Don’t Dream It’s Over
Dr. Dre and Eminem- Forgot About Dre
Depeche Mode
The cure
Squeeze- Tempted
There has been a scary outbreak of “99 Red balloons” at work, I’m blaming Bin Ladin.
Ever since a work colleague mentioned it earlier today, I have had I’m Super, Thanks For Asking from South Park on a loop inside my skull.
Not the whole song - just that line.
Ever since walking to work this morning, I’ve had “Rain When I Die” by Alice in Chains stuck in my head.
It’s only creepy because it popped in my head as I was crossing the street, and it started raining slightly. I think for the rest of the day I’m going to avoid being in the rain, just in case…
I wanna talk about me
Wanna talk about I
Wanna talk about number 1
Oh my me my
I’ve had that in my head all morning… and I usually don’t even listen to country! Argh! Make it stop.
Little known fact:
Actor Bill Paxton was the human in that video.
Dave Barry has an alternative suggestion for why songs get stuck in your head, and often songs you don’t like, such as "I Shot the Sheriff[sup]*[/sup]. He opines that it’s because radio waves are moving through the air, unseen. Therefore, some of those waves HAVE to penetrate your skull.
[sup]*[/sup][sub]Also, “Seasons in the Sun”[/sub]
Anyone want the music in the intermission (“the chase”) after the second level of Ms. Pac-Man? 
How about the theme song from “Green Acres” to the tune of the Beatles’ “A Day in the Life”? :eek:
Hey, RTF, I’ve done Amazing Grace to the tune of Gilligan’s Island*
At least you folks have a melody to hum or whistle. I just have words stuck in my brain:
clientele
metamorphosize
angst
repeating over and over since this morning in a deep bass voice. No idea why - they are not words I normally use, and I’m not even sure the second one is a word at all. I’m really getting tired of it.
Hey superdude,
Try putting the words to green acres to the music to “purple haze”
It works.
It’s scary.
I gotta get a sig…
How about this, Smashed Ice Cream?
Smashed Ice Cream, you truly are a man among men. Or a woman among women. Or a man among women. Or a woman among men. However your particular tendencies lie.
I like to hear some funky dixie land, pretty mama come and take me by the hand By the ha-hand take me by the hand pretty mama gonna dance with your daddy all night long…I like to hear some funky dixie land pretty mama come and take me by the hand Ah-by the ha-hand, take me by the hand pretty mama
OVER AND OVER AND OVER. It never ends.

… and it never goes away. Another one just takes its place …

It’s you! I’ve been doing that one off and on for years. Please stop for awhile, or I’ll start with the Final Jeopardy theme.
Am I the only person who can’t get “Gonads and Strife” out of their head?
I was ok until about 5 minutes ago.
Now I have this stuck in my head.
(Those of you at work might want to wait’ll you get home-- it’s not dirty, but it does go on for a while and it’s loud.)
