I have a mate that hums the Baby Elephant Walk at me until it gets into my head. :devil:
That damned song is nearly impossible to get rid of, once it's in your mind.

What songs get stuck in your head and go around until you fear for your sanity?

ALBANY, N.Y. - Unexpected and insidious, the earworm slinks its way into the brain and refuses to leave. Symptoms vary, although high levels of annoyance and frustration are common. There are numerous potential treatments, but no cure.



"Earworm" is the term coined by University of Cincinnati marketing professor James Kellaris for the usually unwelcome songs that get stuck in people&#39;s heads. Since beginning his research in 2000, Kellaris has heard from people all over the world requesting help, sharing anecdotes and offering solutions.


"I quickly learned that virtually everybody experiences earworms at one time or another," he said. "I think because it&#39;s experienced privately and not often a topic of conversation, maybe people really long for some social comparison. They want to know if other people experience what they experience."


Kellaris, whose most pervasive personal earworm (Byzantine chants) likely has something to do with his wife&#39;s job as a church choir director, has been interested in the topic of earworms for decades. As a musician who now studies how marketers reach the public, he began wondering how widespread stuck songs really are, and began doing small surveys in 2000.


Last year, he surveyed about 500 students, faculty and staff on campus asking about the type, frequency and duration of earworms, and possible causes and cures. Among the songs respondents picked as most likely to become stuck were: "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," the Chili&#39;s restaurant "baby back ribs" jingle and "Who Let the Dogs Out."

Catchy tunes? Knew we&#39;d had that one before, but anything by The Wiggles or Hi-Five stick in one&#39;s head for approximately 2.75 hours after listening. It&#39;s in the liner notes. :rolleyes:

Not sure of the band name, but the chorus starts out like, "Headstrong will take on anyone."

I CANT STAND that song&#33;&#33;&#33;

You're lucky. My problem is with images. I take one look at a pacifer and suddenly all the people in my memory are sucking pacifers. Anyone know how to kick this habit?

How about that song, by Kylie Minogue - "Can't get you out of head" ?
It gets stuck in your head as advertised.

Two worst songs to get stuck in your head are:

Darude - Sandstorm
The Goofy Movie - Eye to Eye (watch it on YouTube and you will never forget it)
