This song actually became a rickroll of sorts here at work. We'd play it randomly for people and get it to load and play on each other's computers with embedded flash files and things. We even filled one guy's entire voicemail box with it.
I wanna try something - if you hear a really awful rendition, does the song leave your head? It works for me as I've watched American Idol rejects butchering songs on youtube and BAM! the song doesn't bother for the rest of the day.
terrible ass cover
No, and now that you reminded me, we actually switched to that version of the song once someone found it.
At least once a week, sometimes at least once a day This runs through my head, especially if I'm getting hungry around lunch and get cornered by my boss before I can go eat.
Whenever I hear the word "spectacular..." my brain instantly fills in "...spectacular, no words in the vernacular, can describe this great event..."
Damn Moulin Rouge, infiltrating my brain for nearly a decade.
In a similar vein, when I hear "believe it or not," I mentally fill in "George isn't at home, please leave a message at the beep!"
I should probably learn the words to the real song so it's at least a little less pathetic.
Look at what's happened to me.
I can't believe it myself.
Suddenly I'm up on top of the world;
It should've been somebody else.
Believe it or not I'm walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free.
Flying away on a wing and prayer.
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me.
Just like the light of a new day,
It hit me from out of the blue.
Knocking me out of the spell I was in,
Making all of my wishes come true.
Believe it or not I'm walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free.
Flying along on a wing and prayer.
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me.
Believe it or not I'm walking on air.

I take no responsibility for the accuracy of that, since it's off the top of my head.
Oh yeah, that's a trait I have that makes me more prone to getting songs stuck in my head. I have an uncanny ability to remember lyrics and melodies. About a year ago my daughter started asking me to sing her songs she'd never heard before when I put her to bed (my turn every other night). I haven't had to repeat yet, though I occasionally skip a verse or something, or insert some la-la-las.

I find the cure-all remover for songs in my head to be the Imperial March from Star Wars. This fades after a little while, but damn if it doesn't remove Dancing Queen or the theme from Golden Girls right quick.
Once I passed out with it on and now if I even hear the slightest tune of it. . .it's stuck.
that happened to me with the snatch dvd. the fucking diamond song went all night and now it makes me almost nauseous to hear it
Mine doesn't even bother me so much. Like it's a song that exemplifies menial but relaxed labor on a farm. Maybe it's because the tune is forever in midi format but hearing the thing is my brain is almost comforting.

When I was reading Treasure Box, I happened to hear Lit - Miserable many times. They fit together nicely. Now thinking of one always brings the other in.

thats how i get with games. for some reason dave matthews band - crash and starcraft are mated as well as dj shadow/underworld with wow. i dont play either anymore but the music brings back longing for the game

I read that as "Les Miserables" and promptly proceeded to get both "Master of the House" and "One Day More" stuck in my head.

When I was a kid, my mom used to put me to bed with a lot of old novelty songs, some of which I can still recite. For instance:
I'll take a leg from some old table
I'll take an arm from some old chair
I'll take a neck from some old bottle
And from a horse I'll grab the hair, I mean the tail
And when I put them all together
With some twine string and some glue
I'll get a lot more lovin' from a gosh-darn dummy
Then I ever got from you.
Or "Abba Dabba Honeymoon" -
Way down in the Congoland
Lived a happy chimpanzee.
She loved a monkey with long tail
(Lordy, how she loved him!)
Each night he would find her there,
Swinging in the cocoanut tree,
And the monkey gay,
At the break of day,
Loved to hear his Chimpie say:
"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"
Said the Chimpie to the Monk,
"Baba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"
Said the Monkey to the Chimp.
All night long they'd chatter away,
All day long there were happy and gay,
Swinging and singing in their hunky-tonkey way.
"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"
Means "Monk, I love but you."
"Baba, daba, dab," in monkey talk
Means "Chimp, I love you, too."
Then the big baboon one night in June,
He married them and very soon,
They went upon their aba, daba honeymoon.
Yes. In a remarkably sensible move she left the public eye for like two years to get well and then came back when it was sorted out. No fuss, no public wailing and gnashing of teeth, nothing. As celebrities go, Kylie's a really rather excellent one.

I hear it the Homer way, though. Same for "Jingle Bells", I always hear it the Simpsons way (Batman smells...). But not the Bart version; I hear it the way Robert Goulet sang it in Bart's treehouse casino. "Oh, sorry kid!"
Kick it! Once upon a midnight dreary, while I kicked it weak and weary,
Dark and cold just like Lake Eerie, Brand New sample, someone clear me.
While I nodded nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping.
Up like, "What?", this thunder clapping in my brain like graphic Halflings.
Staffing me, I put down Milton. Cell phone mute like Paris Hilton.
Open window, halfway built-in. Times a changing like Bob Dylan.
Twenty-pound bird black as could be, cold feet cold eyes aimed straight at me.
Grim face, grim stare, death carnivore, quothe that raven "Nevermore."
Who's that (who's that) rapping?
Who's that rapping at my chamber door?
Mr. (mister) Raven!
All up in my grill like, "Nevermore."
The worst thing is when you have one little fragment of a line from a song stuck in your head and can't remember what it's from.
I had "Hang it up now, Mr. Normal" stuck in my head for like two weeks and then I finally listened to We're Not Gonna Take it by The Who and was like "YES!"
