And Now For Something Completely Different Warning: If you have a tendency to get songs stuck in your head, DO NOT READ THIS POST! OK, I warned you. Here it is, a story from Reuters about songs getting stuck in your head. Ninety-eight percent of respondents said they had experienced stuck songs. Most said the episodes occurred "frequently," and lasted an average of a few hours. But for something even funnier (as is often the case), here's a great Free Republic thread about it.

I experience a strange variation on this phenomenon. 99% of the time -- at least -- there is music in my head. Fortunately, it's not always the same music. But you can, literally, walk up to me at just about any time of day and ask me what song is playing in my head, and I'll be able to answer with no hesitation. At the moment it's "It's A Hard-Knock Life" from the musical Annie. If I get a song stuck in my head that's starting to annoy me, which does happen sometimes, I can usually make it go away by concentrating on a song I find less annoying. Sometimes I have to try harder than others. But I wonder how odd it is that I simply always have music in my head? Posted by Dean Esmay at February 25, 2003 01:15 AMTry this to dislodge a song, hum or listen to The Blue Danube. It has enough changes in it to chase out Achy Breaky and Sister Golden Hair combined. ( I keep it on my lap top for quick access, the 2001 version) Posted by Steve at February 25, 2003 04:52 AMOk I gave you a cure, here's another disease
EVERBODY HAMPSTER DANCE!!! Posted by Steve at February 25, 2003 05:10 AMInteresting... I only recent figured out what triggers this in my case: fatigue! I have noticed that when I don't get enough sleep for enough days in a row, songs (or even movie lines) will get stuck on 'replay'. Posted by J. Craig Beasley at February 25, 2003 08:07 AMIt's one of those songs that you hear for a while. Sorry. That one (which is about the kind of song that sticks in your head) is the one song I know that will kick other tunes out. These songs don't allow me to cincentrate on anything, decreases my productivity(u know what i mean).They're simply driving me crazy Posted by Prateek at July 4, 2003 09:38 PMI think there should be penalties for creating annoying songs like these!! The most terrible thing is when you got an ad-tune in your head.. right now I am in Melbourne, Australia, and here they have the most horrific commercials.. (nananananananananan anaaaaa!) Posted by Helen at April 27, 2004 03:23 AMhow do you learn to enjoy it,the music is there from the time i wake up to the time i go to sleep,sometimes i want to blow my mind up.
