I just can't get songs outta ma head

[Happy-Go-Lucky]

Aaargh! Once again as I try to study, I find myself with irritating songs getting stuck in my head like jammed record, repeating over and over again, making it bloody difficult to take in what I'm reading. This time for me it seems to be Maroon 5 "This love". Nice song and all, but GOD! I can't bare it playing in my head all the time when I'm trying to study. At the January exams, it was Kelis "Milkshake" It so often is the really anoying songs I don't even like. I sometimes find it handy to have a fast bouncy song to have in my head when at an exam as I tend to write faster to keep with the beat, as opposed to a slow song, which seems to slow me down too.

Does anybody else get songs stuck in their head, particularly at inconvenient times like when trying to study?

I think everyone does,
I find that the best thing to do is to go listen to the song and pay particular attention to how it ends and thus bring it to and end in your head. Failing that try sleep

But its such a good song! You should try listening to some of their other songs instead then!

Sometimes I find that I have a word or phrase and not a song stuck in my head. I'll just keep thinking it over and over again, sometimes with a bit of a rhythem, sometimes not. Does this happen to anyone else? Or am I just weird?

A while ago it was James' "laid". Couldnt stop singing it.

"This bed is on fire.."

I have my least favourite song ever stuck in my head at the moment - Can't Fight the Moonlight by LeAnn Rimes. God knows why that song has attached itself to my brain - I haven't heard it in ages.

For some reason I had the Winnie the Pooh song from the cartoons stuck in my head (dont ask how! I have no idea!) Though it was a very nostalgic experience it took all of my monotonus euphoria music to drone it out!

I've been going round singing 'That's amore' for the past, uhm, month...and almost had my throat ripped out as a result.

Internally though I'm constantly singing The Stranglers' 'No more heroes'
it's a disturbing mix.

[smallmonkey]

I can't get the laughable streets song out my head... i think you are really fit, but my gosh, don't you know it...
its hilariously funny, but just so bad...

i've been going round saying "yes yes oh yay"

help

Dear God, it's got worse. Yesterday, thanks to a certain MTV channel, I got stuck with Girls Aloud "No Good Advice" in my head all day. Aargh! The torture!

I've been looking over series and sequences and trying to find limits for them. One time I found that there was no limit. Cue 2 Unlimited running through my head all day.

Stacey's Mom by fountains of Wayne - dirty little pervert boy! Oh and Air Hostess by busted - hear it once and its stuck in my head for hours! Damn the jukebox in the raisin!!

I often get songs stuck in my head when I'm hungover. Usually only about a line or two, and it's always a song that I either can't stand, or I don't know all the words.

I've also found that this happens when I've been working in the garden.

Perhaps it's something to do with dehydration, so my advice would be to drink plenty of water (which is said to increase concentration anyway)

Damn that streets one! I hate it but it always gets stuck in there! I've had the new Avril song in my head for a while which isnt as bad, thank gods!

Today I had the new Christina Millian song stuck in my head during my exam.

Blumming annoying same few lines going round in my head...."dip it low, pick it up slow, rolling all around"....blah blah don't know the lines after that!

Bah....hope it doesn't happen again during tomorrows exam - I thought I was gona go insane....:s

Well, I though it couldn't get any worse than Girls Aloud, but it did. I sat an exam this morning, and anticipating a bad song getting stuck, I deliberately played Dido "take me home" several times on my CD player 1st thing this morning thinking that would be an ok song to get stuck with. But no. When I got into the exam I got a song stuck which will only be known to people with MTV2 which means probably only New Hall folk. That awful club track with the video of a girl eating furniture. Can you imagine having a more horrific song stuck in your head for 3 hours while trying to write garbage about assessing biodiversity and conservation? Eeek!

I've always thought that when studying, if a song does keep repeating then its a sign my brain was working. Or something. Last May, the last time I was working hardest, it was Incubus' "Are You In", which was kinda cool.
