I've been debugging a system all day, that involved downloading the program to flash memory about 50 times...

and I've just realised I've been humming Flash Company most of the time as well. It won't go away.

You've got an ear worm ... Can be exterminated by bringing in a bigger ear worm.
Infected once by "Groovy Kind of Love," I chased it out with "I like it like that."

How about the theme to "The Bear In The Big Blue House" ?

When you have a four year old you end up listening to music you never thought you would.

Azizi, I'll see your "Louie, Louie" and raise you a "My Sharona". Takes days for that ghastliness to get unstuck from your head.

I get stuck with the ones I'm learning/have just learned.

At the moment it's 'Miner's Lullabye' and 'Lonesome Robin'.

Le Scaramouche,

I think "My Sharona" trumps "Louie Louie."

I guess I gotta fold my cards and ease on down the road
{or whatever you say when you're leaving the gaming table}..

;>)

And speaking of "Ease on down the road"-there's that song from
"The Wiz" that goes...

Oh no!!! Why did I even bring it up??!!!

Okay to stop thinking about those other songs, another song just popped in my head-

What about everybody's favorite" Don't worry. Be happy".

Now there's a song that you gotta love to hate.

There are so many songs that stick in your head through your life don't you think?? Actually, without spoiling your lighthearted thread you've got started here...If you trawled your memory and listed them; the ones that just got really embedded in your mind and you couldn't stop singing etc. I can see potential for a really interesting thread, and more, going on forever(slight exageration maybe!) You could see how many songs/memories link with yours/circumstances and so on!! Yes, I maybe should keep my early morning mind 'under wraps' I think!!.....
'A Case of You' - Joni M. (never stoppped just loving it!)
'I love you Baby..and if it's quite alright...I need you Baby..etc'..oh no, I should never have got into this...S>O>R>R>Y>

I used to get Van Morrison's "T.B. Sheets" stuck in my head during high school--the most depressing song on earth.

Gee, I know what you mean. I had the Sonata for Piano in Bb major, Kochel# 570 in Bb Major by Mozart written in 1789 in Vienna rolling around my head all day, & I just can't get rid of it!













Just kidding! I actually can't get rid of that old cliche Toccatta and Fugue in D minor by J.S. Bach.

Hey Paul, I haunt everybody I can.
Thing I find is that it is always the songs I would sooner forget that haunt me, case in point, letter in our local Free paper referred to someone has 'having about forty medals.'
Alltogether....

He's my brother (Whats his name?)
Sylvest, (What has he got?)
He's got a row of forty medals on his chest (Big chest!)

Dammit I've started again!

I think having a listener come up and inform me that they have one of my songs stuck in their head after they've heard me sing and/or play it is about as nice a compliment as any songwriter can receive.

I remember this movie scene where someone was being tortured. The bad guys forced their victim to listen to, "She wore an itsy bitsy, teenie weenie, yellow polka dot bikini..." over and over again.

I know that, under such duress, I probably would have cracked.
