Songs you hear in the morning knowing full well they're going to be irritating you when you go to bed at night.

Moloko- Bring it Back The dance Portishead it's OK to loathe and despise, fronted by a woman who thinks she can display emotion by singing sharply. Fucking disgrace.

Atomic Kitten- Eternal Flame No. No. No. No. No. Fucking shit. Where's a Mark Chapman when we need one?

Last night my roommate in the room right next to mine was blasting Bryan Adams' "Summer of 69" just before I was going to sleep. And now that fucking crap song has been playing over and over in my head ever since I woke up this morning. God, I hate that song.

Has to be that BODYFORM advert of a few years back. I spent a whole day at work singing that!!!

"Whoaa! Bodyform....Bodyform for yoooooooooou.."

Mordant Carnival

"We're lovin'it, lovin'it, lovin'it, we're lovin'it like that..."

No. We're not. We are not loving it in any shape, form or way. Actually we're sickofit, sickofit, sickofit, but can't get ridofit, ridofit, ridofit.

Arrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhh!

Although, you can probably make that turd of a song more palatable by remembering that, in the summer of '69, the guy was actually nine years old. Not quite as teen rebellious as the lyrics would have you believe, I guess.

No, I don't know why the fuck I know this, either.

"What Would You Do?" by City High - easily one of the worst hip-hop songs ever recorded - and insanely popular right now in the U.S.

Rollo Kim, on location

10:38 / 16.08.01

Shit, there must be a name for this terrible affliction - because I've had all of the above songs going around my 'yead at some point. I've had Mr Hendrix's Cross-Town Traffic on and off for weeks, and weeks... could be worse.

No star here laces

10:42 / 16.08.01

At the moment (entirely self-inflicted cos it's on my walkman constantly) I can't get rid of Stetsasonic - "Sally Walk".

"This story's funny, I met this girl and she had money,
In vast abundance, goo-goo gobs, I mean redundant,
Her eyes were hazel, her dress was suede, her voice was nasal,
I found her so fly, but for the life of me I did not know why:
.
.
Some people don't like the way that Sally Walks..."

11:02 / 16.08.01

Heard in the market late this afternoon, Toni Child's Stop your fussinwhich I hadn't heard in ages. It took me back to a time when ...
I'm playing it again now.

why you look so sad
when the sky is perfect blue
and you're getting everything
you ever wanted to...

11:08 / 16.08.01

Alarmingly, I've got the song "Gala Gala Happy" which appears in the Jackie Chan film 'City Hunter' going round in my head after someone mentioned it in a thread over on the Ellis forum. I havent thought about that in over 8 years. Annoying.

11:27 / 16.08.01

Couple weeks ago I was visiting friends in Portland, OR, and spent most of the trip with the Mission Impossible theme song in my head. Became a joke of sorts.

The worst though is the jingle for Power Wheels commercials. That used to randomly appear in my head now and then, and drive me completly nuts.

"pow pow power wheels, pow pow power wheels, pow pow power makes it go" ARGH!

Are you kidding? That song is HILARIOUS!!! It's like an afterschool special in pop form! I especially like the Dre-style coda in the middle.

My little bro told me one of his friends heard it and declared, "THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE SONG!!" 'Course he was stoned at the time, but..

But you are right, it does easily get stuck in one's head.

I had a very bad experience involving hearing "Baby Sometimes Love Just 'Ain't Enough" (or whatever the fuck it's called) by Don Henley and some pap female singer at the gym and having it stuck in my head for the next week.

Also that horrible Mariah Carey song (I realize the phrase is redundant) "You'll Always Be My Baby" was in my head for a large, horrible portion of 1996.

Try watching Willow the Wisp the entire series right through in one sitting. They play the theme song at the beginning of every single episode.... as much as I love it there's only so much I can take....

Even I am hard pressed to dislike this song. but prolly just cause it's political correctness gone mad! Anyway, should any of you stockpiling loners have it, please send it to me

13:04 / 16.08.01

Went through a period recently of having all the songs from 'Parappa the Rapper' stuck in my head. As in order to play the game you have to get to know the songs really well.

"Kick, punch, it's all the mind"

"Whoah Ho Ho Ho! Stop the car!
We've got an emergency can't you see?"

"Do you know why we stopped the car?"

13:18 / 16.08.01

Thanks to this very bulletin board, I had arsing Prince's 'raspberry beret' whining around my head for ages.
Bastards.

Ok folks, here's the cure. Got a shitty song stuck in your head? Sing Prince Charming by Adam and the Ants. It'll shift anything.

However you may think that Adam s much, much worse.

14:01 / 16.08.01

...dum dee dee, dee dee, raaspberry be-r... AAGH! Does anyone know if it's possible to lobotomize yourself with a biro, and still be able to drive home from work?

(Raspberry Beret... in my head... for MONTHS, now... How is it that you only need to read the words and it infects...)

PS. Apparently, if you can sing the song all the way through to the end, it'll get the hell out of your tired, unfortunate head. Having the worst memory in (well, i can only *really* account for the last twenty minutes of) recorded history, this means that even my favorite songs won't leave me alone. Grr.

Erm okay. You're best mates with Terry Wogan and you hang out with Bono and Fergal Sharkey....

KILL ME NOW

17:54 / 16.08.01

I had visions I was in them
I was looking into the mirror
to see a little bit clearer
the rotteness and evil in me....
I'm not sick
but i'm not well
and it's so hot
cos' i'm in hell----el
Flagpole Sitta- Harvey Danger

I once had that repeating synth pad line from The Orb's "A Huge Evergrowing Brain That Rules From The Centre Of The Ultraworld" rotating through my head for the entire duration of a maths exam I was doing. I was trying to force it out with something by TMBG, which usually works, but not in this case.

Then there was the coda for Elton John's "Sad Songs" which had me looking for a pick-axe to impale in the back of my head Trotsky stylee. Or the dunga-dunga-dunga-dunga intro from "Friday On My Mind".

PS. And what the FUCK is with that calling Moloko the dance Portishead?

It's like comparing amyl nitrate with mogadon.

07:51 / 20.08.01

Only I could manage to get 'Lowdown' by Wire stuck in my head for the whole of the last weekend..

eve (the song who do "who'z that giiiirrlllll...")

...cause it's exactly the kind of thing that my ex-girlfriend will run to the dancefloor each friday and saturday nights with his crew of "highly intersting" girlfriends, and that i'm sick that she do it really for the music and the fun to dance, while there's plenty of males around, who like to see the dancing biiiaaaatch. fuck.

lucy pearl "dance tonight"

well, obviously it's a thing done for staying in your head. done.

See, you're better off, june. As a side note, I actually have a pair of friends who seem to be able to dance along with any trash pop song and make it badass and cool. Not sure how this is accomplished.

Me, I've had either "El Ocho" (? think i have title right) by Weezer in my head all week, interspersed with "I Used to Love Her (But I Had to Kill Her)" by G N' R. Don't ask me why...

15:34 / 26.08.01

These songs that get stuck in your head contain messages in the lyrics that are pertinent to your current state of mind.If you find yourself in the shower singing 'Whos that girl,lalalalalalalalalahlah',its actually a message from your unconscious.Then you have to interpret its real meaning.Mostly,for me,the meaning is often something simple,yet profound,like -'stop listening to shite pop music that's designed to fuck with your head'.'

a lack of inhibition, paranoia or the oh-so-prevelant "irony". in other words. just buggin' out to a good choon. i do that too.

right now i have shirley bassey's version of light my fire and the shangri-las' train from kansas city. but these are both good things. thanks belbin.

For the fellow Canuckleheads..the theme song to the Littlest Hobo...arrrrgh!

There's a voice,
that keeps on calling me.
Down the road,
thats where I'll always be.
Every stop I make
I make a new friend.
Can't stay for long,
just turn around,
Im gone again.

Maybe tomorow Ill want to settle down
Until tommorow the whole world is my home.

So if you want to join me for a while,
just grab your hat,
we travel light,
that's hobo style

Until tomorow the whole world is my home.
Until tomorw Ill just keep moving on....

Our Lady of The Two Towers

15:23 / 27.08.01

AAAAAAAGHHH! Not the 'Littlest Fucking Hobo'! Little shite! I hated him as a kid! It's Lassie without the sex appeal! All those 'clever animal' shows should be dumped into a huge rocket and fired into the sun.

I just thought it was the most depressing thing. I couldn't cope with this dog who actually wanted to be homeless. Had he never seen the "an animal is for life, not just for Xmas" campaign by the RSPCA? This was bad news. It always made me cry.

18:52 / 27.08.01

Bizarre stuff - the other night I had 'Put your hand on your heart' (or whatever it's called) by none other than Kylie herself, which I found VERY disturbing. And I've also had the 'Do you really like it, is it is it wikkid' one in my head. Gah.

18:55 / 27.08.01

yes I too have burnt in the eternal bloody flame, mainly every time I go to the gym when it is piped into the changing rooms in a particularly pernicious manner.

one of the worst times in my life - having split with Most Significant Other and living in a very dangerous block of women only flats - was 'lived' to the tune of Meatloaf's I will do anything for love, but I wont do that played over and over again by the vicious little bitch who lived below me.

But I fear I have made other's lives an aural misery also - as when, about 10 years ago, living in another unsavory block of flats, I decided that the world [mainly full of oaps and vile children] would be a better place if I belted k.d.lang out of my windows, constantly...
