Tulip-I live in the country where women glow & men thunder...

Where Men at Work found that line is beyond me...

Beth-that's just wrong..

I'm happy to be delusional...

Oh, so THAT's what they're singing. Thanks...25 years later.

Zen, that was an evil move!

No matter what I do or how I distract myself, anytime I ride a bike up even the shortest of hills I always hear Matchbox 20s -

So I wonder how I never got the burn
And if I'm ever gonna learn
How lonely people make a life
One strain at a time and still shine

And I wonder how I never got the burn
And if I'm ever gonna learn
How lonely people make a life
One strain at a time

I know of course that they aren't singing about muscle strain, but still...

You can't always get what you want.. but if you try sometimes.. you just might find.. you get what you need...

by The Rolling stones

I hum this song everytime I read about the financial situation of this country and the world.

**kermit** · 02-03-2009, 03:51 PM

The song from Madagascar! "I like to move it, move it!, I like to move it, move it!" STUCK!

Baby we were born to run.......... I'm not a big Bruce fan, but thank god it's replaced Mama Mia, which I've been humming all day

cc - songs stuck in your head are called earworms.

Actually, the men plunder. Can you hear, can you hear the thunder?

My latest earworm is driving me nuts, not because of the tune but because it's wrong.
Isn't it ironic, don't you think? It's so ironic, I really do think.
It's like rain on your wedding day. (That's NOT ironic, that's a bummer)
It's a free ride, when you've already paid. (Again, not ironic, just unfortunate)
It's the good advice, you just didn't take. (not ironic, just stupid)
...
This is driving me nuts! Please somebody, tell me there is some example of ironic in that song somewhere before I go insane.

Maybe this
as the plane crashed down, he thought "well isn't this nice". - maybe that's ironic??

I kissed a girl and I liked it : by Kate Perry.

I have had that stuck in my head for 2 weeks. Problem is, that is the only part of the song that I know.
I heard it on a comercial for something one day and can't get it out of my head.

Well I had to look up the lyrics, but I thought the first one was ironic, dying the day after he hit the lottery.

Now you've got that song stuck in my head. That's exactly why I was afraid to look at this thread. Is that ironic?

(I guess not.)

LOL!!! This song goes through my head over and over more times than I can count! Happens all the time. "Do Re Mi" (the whole thing) is also a particular favorite of my warped brain.
Thanks!

TsPoet sez: I think an earworm and an auditory hallucination must be 2 different things. So, being a scientist I looked up your claim and found things like this abstract:

From personal experience, they are very different things.

The earworm is an annoying snatch of song (my most recent one was a snatch of a hymn I dislike) that just worms its way into my mental conversation with myself. I find myself humming it throughout the day and it drives me NUTS. The worst, of course, is that I never quite remember the whole thing, so I just have a sappy phrase to put up with.

The auditory hallucination is a whole different beast. I'm starting to occasionally "hear" someone say my name. No I'm quite alone. No, it's not frightening. It is a bit weird, but I don't mind a little bit of weirdness in my life. In fact, I prefer this to that %*##@^!! hymn. Considerably less annoying.

Title music from the super nerdy-cool british sitcom, the IT Crowd.

Brilliant.

Oh that's just great-I'm playing in the pit for a local high school that's doing that one in March! Right now I'm doing Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor dream coat, and in May it will be Willy Wonka. Will it ever stop!!???
