When the Schnappi song (Schnappi Das Kleine Krokodil)sung by the little 5 year old was all the rage I remember having a devil of a time getting the song out of my head...which was not helped by the frequency with which my children would find the need to blast the song from their stereos...

Often I would find myself breaking into song... Schni Schna Schnappi Schnappi Schnappi Schnapp without seeming regard for my location or circumstance.

The song that sticks in my head when I hear it on the radio (which thank goodness isn't too often these days) is Centerfold by the J Geils Band. I believe it came out in the late 80's maybe early 90's. I will catch myself humming that song for days. It is quite the catchy tune though.

I can't remember one specific song, but doesn't it happen to you guys that the songs you most dislike are the ones that get stuck in your head? hahaha!

The song that is currently lodged between my ears is "Black Denim Trousers and Motorcycle Boots" by the Cheers (1955).

Mine are all songs form the 80s. Does anyone else remember Tom's Diner?

Doot du du du, doot du du du, doot du du du du da do.

And now that will play over and over again in my head.

It usually turns out to be that the more you hate a song ,the more likely it is to get stuck in your head & there's no shifting it !
One song I liked which I kept 'singing' all day was 'Waterfall' by Griffin House .(Someone I know turned me on to it last year .) It doesn't have the same meaning to me that it used to ,but I still find it creeping up on me now & again !

"How mild (how mild)
how mild (how mild)
how mild can a cigarette be
Take Camel's 30 day test,
and you'll see
Smoke Camels and see!"

I'm sure none of you know this tune, but if you do, it is now implanted in your head for weeks - the catchiest tune ever.

Well they say a man should always dress for the job he wants
So why am I dressed up like a pirate in this restaurant
Its all because some hacker stole my identity
Now I'm in here every evening serving chowder and ice tea


Shoulda gone to free credit report dot com
I coulda seen this comin' at me like an atom bomb
They monitor your credit and send you e-mail alerts
So you don't end up selling fish to tourists in tee shirts

My eleven year old hums it constantly. I don't even think she's aware of it.

I was told by a friend that if you have a tune stuck in your head you should sing "Love Shack" by the B52s and she guaranteed that it would wipe out the previous tune instantly.

Now....anyone know how to get rid of Love Shack?

The tune for Discovery Channel commercial is in my head right now - it's a great ad, but I don't really want to listen to it all night.....

I've had an oldie running in and out of my head for a couple of weeks now' It goes "Smile a little smile for me, Rosemarie..."

Trouble is, I can't recall the rest of the song or even remember who sang it. It just pops into my mind at the most incongruous times. Anyone remember who sang it?

charly, The name of the song is "Smile a Little Smile for Me" and it was done by The Flying Machine. The lyrics are here: http://tinyurl.com/4u2crh

I don't know if that will help you get it out of your head though....

Yes Jordan, THAT'S IT! Thank you very much. Usually if I can sing a song all the way through once it will go away. Thank the gods. You've made it possible to keep my sanity. I was really getting peeved at this Rosemarie.
