“Bad Behavior” by Super Furry Animals. Sorry…no youtube link since it’s blocked by work, but it’s a fun song.

> I can’t get that insidious “Pumped Up Kicks” out of my head. I heard it for the first time (don’t listen to a lot of radio) last week, and now I must have heard it 100 times since. It’s everywhere, and in my freaking head!

Ditto.

Another one stuck in my head is (NSFW lyrics) [It’s Just a Movie, Stupid by Psychostick](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TMVdpU6KMI&list=FLJycDRzuf69G9Wl6yEZwGxA&index=1&feature=plpp_video)

This is by no means “recent” but I dare you not to get hooked on it: [A–Don’t Nobody Move (This Is a Heist)–Tony Powers](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8GtVwBQWtc)

Dates back to when there were TV shows devoted to “new” videos.

Spot the cameos!

[Woodkin - Iron](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSkb0kDacjs). Ever since someone on another forum linked that song as the one in the background of the trailer for the upcoming Assassin’s Creed game, I’ve been pretty much listening to it on repeat all day long. Don’t know why, it just clicks with me. Also the clip is pretty cool.

While I often have no frigging idea how a song became stuck in my head, my current earworm has a logical origin: \*\*Because \*\*by the Dave Clark Five. I’ve been learning it on piano and play it constantly–for real at the piano as well as in my dreams, my car, my classroom . . .

[![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/L7mhZjQbv4s/hqdefault.jpg "dave clark five") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7mhZjQbv4s)

A classic 60s tune which I love.

…[li]“Tonight Tonight” by Hot Chelle Rae. Dumbest band name ever, but quite a catchy tune…[/li][/QUOTE]

Hey, good stuff! I added that to my iPod about a week ago.

Various Kesha songs…examples include “Blow,” “Cannibal,” and today “Boots & Boys.” It’s so awesome constantly having Kesha songs playing in my head, as it keeps out songs that I hate.

It changes every time I go to the supermarket. Doesn’t matter which one, they all play hits from my childhood. I wish they would all stop it.

Live video from their latest concert. I was at the show, but this isn’t my handiwork.

I can’t stop listening to UNKLE’s “Ever Rest.”

[You are a pirate!](http://worms2d.info/files/pirate.swf)

My husband showed this to me last week and I haven’t gone a single day without getting it stuck in my head at some point.

And this thread just put it there again.

I’m back and forth between Scorpions Longing for the Sun (dang it, it’s starting to get a little cold here) and White Stripes Icky Thump.
