You know that song that's stuck in your head?

Everybody has them, everybody complains about them. What song do you
have stuck in your head, by who (if known), and why is it in your head
(if you know)? Don't hesitate to (cyber)sing it, it's not like we can
really judge your singing voice anyways
I have Mrs. Robinson, by Simon and Garfunkel stuck in my head, don't
know why "and here's to you mrs. robinson, heaven holds a place for
those who pray, yay yay yay, yay yay yay"

I have lotsa songs in my head. Some Liz Phair songs. And the goofy
songs they have on MTVs "Sifl and Olly Show".

I've recently been torn between my old stand-by--the Smurf's theme song--and
"My head hurts, my feet stink, and I don't love Jesus" (Jimmy Buffett)

Most times it'll be awful songs. They stick to me like glue and can
spoil my day.
As a remedy I'll keep singing it untill my colleagues are ailed by the
same torment, then I feel better, haha.
e.g.:
- Barbie girl
- I'm horny, horny, horny, horny (ok, nice beat, admitted)
etc.

I've been listening to Garth Brooks all summer. Whenever I think of
"Friends in Low Places", from his 2nd album (No Fences) the chorus runs
through my head for the rest of the day.
I've got friends in low places
where the whiskey drowns, and the beer chases my blues away
and I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces,
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends, in low places

"Fish Below the Ice" by Shriekback. Everything they sung was catchy;
it's a good thing they haven't been around for a decade or so. :)

I have a song that's in Japanese in my head so I'm not sure what it's name
is or who it's by.

For weeks a while back I had the jingle "Jesus Loves Me, Yes I know" stuck
in my head. That was weird because I'm not Christian, I wasn't brought up
on that song, and I wasn't aware of having heard it recently. In self defense
I changed the lyrics. ;)

I occasionally fall victim to "Turn That Heartbeat Over Again" myself..
Last night the Talking Heads' "The Great Curve" finally dislodged the
song that's been stuck in my head since the Magnetic Fields concert I
saw Sunday night. I'm not sure I'm better off -- "The Great Curve"
has got a pretty odd rhythm and it's hard to concentrate with it going
on in the background..

Today it has been La Vie Boheme from Rent, driving me up the wall!
"..to faggots lezzies dykes, cross dressers too, to me! to me! to you and
you you and you1 to people living with living with not dying from disease.
Let thee among us without sin be the first to comdemn!...La vie Boheme.."

A guitar riff from "Pushit" by Tool, mostly. I'm about to put radiohead
in my CD player.
I look forward to months of "Hail to the Victors" in my head starting
somewhat soon.

Get "The Zoo" by the Scorpions stuck in your head once. Had that happen, and
for three weeks I couldn't get anything done.

Thanks to last night's South Park, "In The Ghetto" has taken residence in my
head and shows no signs of vacating. I'm glad none of my cubeneighbors heard.
And speaking of last night's South Park, I'll never be able to hear "I'm a
Believer" the same way again.

Heh that was funny...
Oddly enough an old song by Weird Al Yankovic, mocking infomercials,
was "Mr. Popeil".... "It slices! It dices! Look at that tomato!"
That, and the World Music song on Sifl & Olly. "Yoya,yayayayayayoooya!"

Once I had a Dutch song from a lady 'comedian' (but that's too much
credit for her) about her having a parrot stuck in my head for weeks on
a vacation. It went from that to the state I couldn't get to sleep
because of it. I suffered a lot (grin).

Got a 19 Wheels song stuck in my head.
I'm pretty bad at remembering songs until I've heard them 10 or more times,
so I was really happy yesterday when an anime theme I'd been trying to
remember suddenly popped into my head.

The "Josephine - flying machine - up we go" song from Titanic.
How embarrassing.

I don't even know what show that is but let me know so I can stop
watching, too..
I once shared an apartment with a friend with whom I had a running
battle to inflict maximum "song-stuck-in-your-head" damage. I had
a strong edge, he was peculiarly vulnerable to Jimi Hendrix's
"Dolly Dagger" -- I could hum a few bars and stop and without any
volition he'd pick up right where I left off. Unfortunately, he
didn't have a weapon of such potency to use against me; the best
he could come up with was to leave various Elvis Costello songs
on repeat in the CD player while I slept.
