I've got a song stuck in my head.
'It only takes a minute' by that bunch of cumknuckles, Take That, I believe.

Grrrr.

What songs get stuck in your head?

not so much stuck in my head
as "about to be rammed up the arse of the person who chose it", but the "Best of Petula Clark" is currently playing on our sound system.

If I have to listen to Downtown once more this week, I will get jolly cross, mark my words and no mistake.

I'm going to regret even mentioning this
but I get Rhinestone Cowboy stuck in my head frequently.

I hate the song so much, and it happens when I haven't even heard the fucking thing....

It's always songs I hate
I think my brain hates me. First thing it was 'What if God was one of us?' and I place the blame for that squarely on the shoulders of badongismtrombone.

My brain was trying to convince me that I'm gay
I had 'There's no business like show business' stuck in my head, then some crap song by Westlife, then that Kylie one that goes, 'na na na, na na na na na...'

I hate these songs.

Looney bin.
I'm sure getting songs stuck in my head will one day be responsible for seeing me carted away to where they wear those special, self hugging jackets.

I once had Jeremy by Pearl Jam stuck in my head for 2 weeks. I used to like it; now I can't listen to it ever again.

Recently I keep getting that new fucking Coldplay song in my head. I hate that song. I hate Coldplay.

I think my brain hates me.

The problem is
when you find yourself singing the rubbish out loud and in public.

And thanks guys, I now have at least two of your above-mentioned songs competing for space in my brain.

I seem to have history with "I am the one and only" which has reared it's teeth gnashingly annoying head at various pivotal moments of my life.

It's the only song I can play in my head which makes Take That go away.

Buskers
A busker was playing / singing "The Boxer" this morning and it's now on constant rotation in my head. Fortunately there are far worse things to have stuck in your head (as evidenced above)

If anyone listens to Chris Moyles, I have his Barack Obama song going round in my head.

For those that don't listen, the only words are "Barack" and "Obama".

1) A cunt

2) A not very funny cunt

3) A fat cunt

4) a smug, self-satisfied cunt

Erm..
I've got the Mr Men theme stuck in my head! Someone in the office has it as their ring tone!

@Misskitty - If we did a B3ta compilation, my song would be Hammer Smashed Face by Cannibal Corpse

What's more.
Why is it that I only ever get songs that I know only a few lines of playing in my head?

There are songs that I know in their entirety. Songs that I enjoy and will merrily sing all day.

The only songs that stick in my head end up looping like a broken record; with the same few lines playing over and over.

Oh great.
Now I've got 'One Week' by Barenakedladies stuck.

Better than Fake Twat I suppose.

i think
it's called an ear-worm, when a snatch of song gets stuck in your head.

for me the most annoying are advert jingles - my flatmate can make me turn purple all over by singing "mooooooooon-pig".

and don't get me started on "ooooh, danon".

i'd rather have "i love horses".

Moon Pig.com. I hate that advert, when it comes on I attack my telly with an umbrella.

Fuck you, moon pig!

Dear God
Yes that one. The cuntry song by Avenged Sevenfold. It's stuck there again. I used to like it for novelty value.

This morning
it happens to be one of the last songs I heard last night- "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin.

Often when I get stuck in there is something that's been prompted by something in my immediate surroundings- last night I had Hennepin Ale on draft with dinner, so I amused my friend by reciting "9th and Hennepin" in my best Tom Waits voice.

Thanks to Bert
I now have One Week stuck in my head.

Although it's usually Take On Me which has become a self fulfilling prophecy, I think I can hear it and get annoyed that it'll be stuck in my head all day, thus sticking it in there whether I did actually hear it or not.

Dammit, it's replaced One Week now.
