And no I don't mean "don't you knowwwwwwwwwwwww you never can win." I mean this: This morning I began researching an article about bizarre things which have fallen on people's heads. This introduced one of my favorite songs (R.E.M.) "Fall on Me" into my brain and I CANNOT get it out. How often does this happen to you and how do you get the song out? Is it usually the same song? Is it ever a song which actually sucks?Does it have anything to do with what you're doing at the time it sneaks in there? What's your favorite song to stick in your head? Multipart question, answer any or all. Actually I like this one. The last one I had was U2's "Silver and Gold." Uh-oh shouldn't have said it.

Oddly enough I generally wake up every morning with some absolutely awful song drumming around in my head .. I've even burst into song on waking up ... I wouldn't mind so much if I could actually sing .. but I am sure I sing as flat as a pancake ..

And the songs are just awful .. just to give you an idea this morning it was ...

She was as nervous as she could be

That she wore for the first time today.

OH MY GOSH!!! I was about to post this same exact song. It gets stuck into my head at the most awful times. Like when im sitting in a waiting room full of quiet people it just creeps up and i have to giggle. Everyone looks up at me like i'm crazy because i have the goofiest smile on my face. Oh well, it is only one of the million songs that get stuck in my head.

And this morning when I woke up it was Charlie Drakes "My Boomerang won't come back" ... yikes ... what amazes me is that I seem to know quite a lot of the words .. because of my 'fibro' I can hardly remember what day it is .. yet when I wake up I have all these daft songs running around in my head ... and later in the day I can't remember the words at all ..

I kinda understand what you mean in regards to memory, I suffer from epileptic seizures and my memory is awful, yet some of the most awful songs swirl around the inside of my head and I can remember virtually all the words! How bizzarre!

*laugh* I love your question! I _constantly_ get songs stuck in my head. Usually it's something that I heard an hour or two earlier that finds it's way into my brain and just won't leave, but other times I get random songs in my head that circle around and around for hours and I can't figure out where they came from. Sometimes I think that it must be pieces of songs in commericals that are playing on the TV while I'm typing that I don't even fully realize I'm 'hearing'*laugh* What is the most frustrating is when I get songs stuck in my head that I only know one or two lines from, though, and those couple of lines go around. And around. And around. And around in my head. For what feels like ages*laugh* And that happens to me quite frequently, to be honest!*laugh*


myLot reputation of 88/100. cremechese (4503)   ranked 783 out of 35,133 in people  3 years ago

I used to get "Lust for Life" in my head--they were using it to promote a cruise line in commercials. Lust for Life is an Iggy Pop song about HEROIN hahaha. . .and here are all these happy cruisers! Talk about a song used out of context.

LOL, I knew that it was a druggie song, but I can see why (with the title) that the ad company thought it was a good choice. It's kind of like the song Perfect Day, which is supposedly about drugs, but got used on a lot of BBC adverts because it seems at first glance like such a sweet song about a happy day in someone's life.*laugh*

I get songs stuck in my head all the time. Different songs, and almost always songs I hate. And, they're practically impossible to get out. I try listening to other music, but as soon as I stop, the other songs barge in.

I don't have one particular song I like to get stuck in my head. On the rare occasions I do have a song I like in my head, I just enjoy it while I can.

Too funny! It happens all the time to me. When I hear a song on tv early in the morning it will stick with me all day. And sometimes I catch myself actually singing it outloud. And dont even care. Hey if you cant beat them join them.

i HATE it hen a song gets stuck in my head, because it's usually when im in the middle of something.

no favourites, because having a sond stuck in my head is just not fun.

i had to go through this grueling paper, and it was grueling only because i had a LAME song stuck in my head.

song stickies don't happen very often, but i suggest one not listen to only one song if one listens to something in the morning.

The list is long. Usually, they don't stay in my brain too long. But, because I am around my granddaughter a lot, the song that I can't get rid of is from a Dora cartoon. You know the one that goes...backpack, backpack...on and on...

My favorite is whatever song makes my happy. If it has some energy to it, it qualifies.

After seeing the cell phone commercial (I can't remember which cell phone it is advertising) where the two geeks are singing the wrong words to "Rock The Casbah" that song was stuck in my head for days. I do like that song, but it gets a bit monotonous when you can't get it out of your head.

I get that all the time.

I've been trying to learn the words for a couple of songs, so I've been turning it to my advantage. But I still get weird looks when I'm singing on the bus, along with the music in my head.

Oh gods have I had that happen. You get a song stuck in there and nothing you do will get it out. Sometimes even listening doesn't help. What I do hate more is when I get two songs stuck, a refrain from one which kind of flows into another song's refrain or you have the words to one song but to the music of another. It will drive me nuts. Half the time the only thing that helps is to get another song in there instead. Of course then you have to deal with that one.

Sometimes it's having heard part of it or if it was from a movie if something reminds me of the movie then it gets in there. Other times I couldn't tell you why it's there. Worse is when I wake up with it because then I really have no clue.

Lately the song to get stuck in my head is "I wanna talk about me" from Toby Keith. Now of course I could be mean here and mention the one song that always seems to get stuck in people's heads. If you have ever been to Disney World you know when people have been on the ride because they hum it all day long. "It's a small world after all" :)
