Francie, I think All You Need Is Love is the best possible song to get stuck in your head so you're a lucky one!
I have a friend whose higher brain functions will shut down if you start humming Kokomo.
I had Chicago's Does Anyone Really Know What Time it is? stuck in my head over the weekend.
Oh, mri, I adore that song. I adore pretty much all Duran Duran, actually, and that one is indeed in my WORKOUT playlist.
Last night, however, OY. I would have punched my mom to make it leave my head.
It's gone now and replaced with something worse (better?).
"I wanna dance with somebody! I wanna feel the HEAT with somebody!"
Yay, pre-crack (allegedly) Whitney!
The worst one ever was when I had Tori Amos's "Professional Widow" stuck in my head for two weeks. It was awful. A friend got it stuck in my head, and just when I'd start to get something else stuck, I'd get an email or voicemail from him that just said, "starf*cker...." and I'd be in agony all over again.
Right now, however? I have Vanilla Ice's "Ninja Rap" stuck in my head. And it won't. Go. Away. It's such a random thing to have in your head, but somehow while watching the Surreal Life famegames, we had been talking about Ninjas. And then it got around to talking about Hammer and Vanilla Ice being in the same house, and how awesome that would be. And then we realized that both Vanilla Ice and Hammer did songs for the movies, and now all I can think is "Ninja, ninja, rap! ...Go ninja, go ninja go!" Gah!
"Dancing Queen" is the ultimate earworm.
Anytime I have the misfortune to hear ever a few notes of it, it's stuck in my head for the next two weeks. Gah!
I just bought two mixes of the very very crackalicious Jem song "They." Mmmm, love it.
Like someone earlier, I almost always have a song going on in my head. But the WORST, the absolute APOCALYPSE of my brain songs is the whistling theme to the old Andy Griffith Show.
Like, this morning for example. Ugh.
mri, I think I'm gonna have that damn theme song in my head all day now since you mentioned it. Damn you!
Sort of an inherent danger when reading this thread, don't you think?

| Oh boy, "Lord of the Dance." That one's a bad earworm, because it's sung to the tune of "Simple Gifts" which always gets into my head. |
Man, I did a ballet routine to "Simple Gifts" one year, and I can't even remember how it goes right now. Can you hum it for me?
Simple Gifts WikiI just can't see how this can be used for Lord of the Dance. Cringeworthy, but it's in the public domain, right?

Yeah, but I either don't know the songs people mention or I they aren't stupidcracktastic enough to get stuck on a constant loop in my head. Thank God, that stupid Andy Griffith theme actually hasn't lodged itself in my brain.
Earworms? You call these earworms?
You remind me of the babe.

This Ain't A Scene, It's A Goddamned Earworm! |
I KNOW! I was walking around my house last night singing that. It's maddening.
