Songs which have become earworms in your head. I'll start.

[raccoon]

Final Jeopardy theme
What's New Pussycat (Tom Jones)
Captain Kangaroo theme
Ballad of Davy Crockett

(Guess you can tell I'm not a millenial. )

[Scuba]

1. Build me up Buttercup. I dread hearing that song.

[texanwitch]

5. Now you done it.

I did hate song when it was new.

[hlthe2b]

2. Afternoon Delight.... (Uggh, I HATE that song)

[texanwitch]

[texanwitch]

6. We're Off To See The Wzard

[chknltl]

35. We're off to see the dealer....

The wonderful dealer of ours.
The things he's got
are better than pot
and full of fantastic powers!
If you want to spin like a ufo
That dealer of ours will make it so
We know, we know, we know, we know, We knoooooooow!
Over the hill your mind he'll blow!

We're off to see the dealer,
That wonderful dealer of ourrrrrrrrrrrs.

From Mad Magazine, circa mid-late 1960s

[WinstonSmith4740]

59. Loved "Mad" as a kid!

Hell, I loved it as an adult! Did you hear about the time the only subscriber they had in Fiji didn't renew his subscription, so William Gaines flew the staff out there to get him to re-subscribe?

[chknltl]

62. W-O-W! No, i had not heard that. nt

[KamaAina]

7. ...

[spooky3]

54. love the "bubbles" on that clip

The bartender may have been hungover but his great stunts were more fun to watch than the "dancers."

And where did that blond guy come from near the end of the video? They couldn't have found a way to edit him in earlier?

Low budget fun.

[applegrove]

8. "Call Me Maybe". I've always been a fan of bubblegum pop music. I get hooked immediately.

[HappyMe]

9. I hate that song!

Sorry, but I do.

[applegrove]

10. Oh I know. My taste in music is awful. And I don't get sick of playing the same song over and over

again.

[MiddleFingerMom]

13. That's become a HUGE Internet meme, with scores of parodies to the lyrics...

.
.
.
... most of which are kinda stupid.
.
.
.
I have yet to hear the actual song... and I'm very much OK with that,
,

[applegrove]

16. The Obama parody was really good. The Jimmy Fallon version of "Call Me Maybe" I like.

[WinstonSmith4740]

60. Check this out!

Cookie!!

[turtlerescue1]

11. Okay but don't laugh...too hard.

"Loverly"-My Fair Lady
"Pretty Woman" Roy Orbison
"Amazing Grace" - four verses
Theme from Paladin " A gun will travel with...."
and the latest is "Red Solo Cup"-yeah, BIG GROAN!

So now I'm likely to be back at all of them for the next month. Guess thats what happens when you are easily amused eh?

[Arkansas Granny]

12. The worst one I ever had was "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy" that I heard on a tv ad.

It had more staying power than that damned Energizer bunny.

[charlie and algernon]

14. Sweeeeeet Caroline! (dun dun dun)

[Art_from_Ark]

48. That song instantly takes me back to 1969,

specifically, back to a time when we had a really big snow that closed school for several days, and my mom was constantly watching the local weather channel (which was little more than alternating views of various weather gauges), and they played that song in the background every few minutes. Ahh, good times

[MADem]

65. Red Sox fans are taken to Fenway Park with that tune...! nt

[sharp_stick]

15. Music from shows on Nick

specifically the iCARLY and Victorious themes and anything being "sung" on Victorious or Big Time Rush.

Although the iCARLY cover by Less than Jake is pretty good.

iCARLY original full version

[HopeHoops]

17. I just (half an hour ago) said "It's raining again" and my middle daughter started singing the song.

I'm stuck with it in my head now.

[nolabear]

18. Get Low. SOOOOO NSFW but catchy as hell.

Of course in my own defense, I discovered it the way all middle aged white women did, by seeing Sandra Bullock do it in this fabulous scene:

But damn, I woke up in the middle of the night for WEEKS after I heard the original. I was so embarrassed.

[Populist_Prole]

19. 'White Rabbit'

That bass line just stays with you and Grace Slick's vocals go through my head like a pole axe. It must have something when it first came out, but I was only 5 years old then.

[mykpart]

20. From Aladdin:

Prince Ali, fabulous he, aleababwa. Don't even know the words, but the melody plays over and over in my head. The whistling theme from the Andy Griffith Show. The theme from the Bugs Bunny TV Show (Overture, light the lights, this is it, we'll hit the heights, no more rehearsing and nursing a part . . . ).

[JesterCS]

21. Owl City - Fireflies

[Systematic Chaos]

22. I can't get "Place in the Sun" by Pablo Cruise the hell out of my head.

I really like these guys' 70s hits but come on already!

[Pool Hall Ace]

23. Gomez - Options

I have never tried to embed a video, but here goes:

[Doc_Technical]

24. This one

It started during an acid trip in Big Basin State Park in 1970.

[pipi_k]

25. I had this one

stuck in my head for over a week a few months ago. Even in my sleep. Sharing the misery...er, I mean "fun".

Then there was George Michael's "Like Jesus to a Child" for a while, but I like that one

[JoeyT]

41. Argh.

My best friend's daughter plays that song constantly, and it takes days to go away every time I hear it.

[Arugula Latte]

26. I was obsessed with the Shin's "Simple Song" recently.

I kept hearing it in my head when it wasn't playing on my iPod.

[intaglio]

27. Weebl's Stuff

[NRaleighLiberal]

28. usually really bad one hit wonders, like Billy Don't Be a Hero

Alone Again naturally
The Night Chicago Died
Brandy

maybe it was in my AM radio days...but there was some pretty bad shit playing that, despite being bad shit, would just wiggle its way into your brain!

Sorry if this post infected anyone's mental music player!

[1monster]

29. The all time MOST annoying earworm of all:

on edit: My favorite ALL TIME earworm:

45. WINNER! "This is a song that doesn't end: yes, it goes ON and ON my friend..."

[jdadd]

30. Hermans Hermits...I'm Henery the eighth I am

[maddiemom]

39. Oh, me too...

Every half decade or so, something sets it off and its in my head for weeks.

[Cobalt-60]

31. My friend the Witch Doctor

he told me what to do.

[Art_from_Ark]

50. That song is one of my earliest TV memories

They played that on The Alvin Show (this must have been around 1962 or so), and the "Oo-Ee-Oo-Ah-Ah, ting, tang, walla walla bing bang" part became a sort of theme song for the kids in my neighborhood.

[Brother Buzz]

32. Me and a couple of the girls were taking a sauna when.....

[allan01]

Celebrity by Brad Paisley
Jessie's Girl by some guy whose name I can't recall

[scubadude]

40. "The Girl is Mine", and "Ebony and Ivory"....

Or how about "Seasons in the Sun"? Three real stinkers for sure.

[spooky3]

56. Rick Springfield is the guy you're thinking of

If you have never heard them give a listen, they are both beautiful.

http://m.

38. This one

and not in a bad way. Rutger Gunnarsson's bass playing is godlike and it is one of the most perfect pop songs ever.

[jmondine]

42. The Muppets: Manah manah!

[alfredo]

43. Ponta de Areia - Milton Nascimento

&feature=related

This song is also on Wayne Shorter's "Native Dancer." Great Album

[Kalidurga]

63. I love this and I don't really know why...

followed some random link and listened watched the video it was fascinating. I found out later that this was really a protest. The Soviet Gov didn't like the words so he was banned from singing them so he Tro la loo la'd them instead and I dunno the combination of that and a some what cheesy performance by US cultural standards has me hooked.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

49. Loving You Is Easy 'Cause You're Beautiful

by Minnie Riverton

Whatta screamfest! Can't even bring myself to post the YouTube link.

[alfredo]

Supertramp, Donny and Marie/The Osmonds, The Jackson Five, and just about anything by Elvis Presley

[alfredo]

58. hey hey we are the monkees and brand new key by melanie

[felix_numinous]

61. The Lion Sleeps Tonight

[soleiri]

64. Not really an earworm

Because I actually love it.
If I hear a word, or a phrase that reminds me of a song in A Chorus Line, I'll immediately start to sing the song
If I hear the word unemployment, I immediately sing, "dancing for my own enjoyment" from Dance: ten; looks: three, and if I hear the word, genetic, I immediately say, "they don't have bobsleds in San Juan" and I start to sing, "Nothing."

[sakabatou]

66. Pretty much every single song from "Cowboy Bebop"

[malthaussen]

67. Try this one out:

Not only will it stick in your ear, the video is wonderful.

[Odin2005]

68. "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen.

Stupid teen-pop tune, but I can't get it out of my fucking head, ARGH!!!
