Stuck Song

I pass it on because I am evil like that. Particularly since songs in my head are either obscure folk songs or It's A Small World.

That's one of THOSE songs for me, Wolfbitten!

I like to play "Telephone Man" because it will override almost anything.

Anyone ever have the problem where the two songs play in your head?

I went to my apartment on a Monday at one
A-singin' do lolly, lolly shicky bum, shicky bum
Started movin' in it on a Tuesday at two
A-singin' do lolly, lolly shicky do, shicky do
Wednesday at three I called the phone company, singin':
"Hey baby, put a phone in for me"
Thursday at four he came a-knockin' at my door, singin':

"Hey, baby, I'm your telephone man
You just show me where you want it and I'll put it where I can
I can put it in the bedroom, I can put it in the hall
I can put it in the bathroom, I can hang it on the wall
You can have it with a buzz, you can have it with a ring
And if you really want it you can have a ding-a-ling
Because-a hey baby, I'm your telephone man"

Can you believe that? And then he says:

"Now when other fellas call ya tell 'em how it all began"

Well...can you imagine?

My heart began a-thumpin' and my mind began to fly
And I knew I wasn't dealin' with no ordinary guy
So while he was a-talking I was thinkin' up my plan
Then my fingers did the walkin' on the telephone man

Singin' hey lolly, lolly
Hey lolly, lolly
Hey lolly, lolly
Get it any way you can
Right? Ha ha ha, so...

I got it in the bedroom, and I got it in the hall
And I got it in the bathroom, and he hung it on the wall
I got it with a buzz, and I got it with a ring
And when he told me what my number was I got a ding-a-ling

A-singin' hey lolly, lolly
Hey lolly, lolly
Hey lolly, lolly
Just-a doin' my thing

Ha, ha...I've never done anything like this before!

AND

It's a Small World?

My default override is "Smelly Cat" or one of many songs I know in Hebrew, Lakota or Cree.

We call them ear-worms, and it's not just songs. Sometimes it's a word or phrase. A friend once had the name 'Alexander Solznhitzyn' (sp?) for months.

My longest, most durable ear-worm? Johnny Cash singing 'Burning Ring of Fire'.

Tag. You're it.

I'm the pass it on kind of person
Why not share and see if it sticks with another <eg>

Some years back, I shared the Band Aid theme song with my co workers on their telephones, lol
At least I wasn't alone with it in my head all day or humming it

And, thanks to FB and Mafia Wars, If I Had A Hammer plays in my head for days
Some days I try to share it with my FB friends that play Mafia Wars

I'm a firm believer that sharing means caring so I do
