Mark E Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Argh, do you ever get songs stuck in your head that are actually not great and in fact my be downright shit? I'm not talking the whole trump song thing, really, but just songs that burrow themselves in because in their awfulness they are actually pretty damn catchy. This question, for those curious, has been sponsored by 'Toxic' by Britney Spears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce B Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 The other day I got that God awful Clay Aiken song "Invisible" or "Invincible" stuck in my head. I remedied the situation with a good old fashion frontal lobotomy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainl Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 BadgerbadgerbadgerbadgerbadgerbadgerbadgerMushroomMushoom! Nothing else comes quite close. Although his new one, "Come to Kenya, we've got Lions!" is pretty marvellous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlucci Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 I always remember that Buffy Episode when she could read people's thoughts. She was listing what everyone was thinking, and about a teacher she said: "Mister Smith has 'Walk like an Egyptian' stuck in his head". And now, I bet, so do you! Carlos.

Dan B. Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Currently "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" by The Darkness...sounds like Spinal Tap. They can't be serious! Also, "Birthday Cake" by Cibo Matto comes to mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoisonJam Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 There was a segment about this phenomenon on NPR a few months ago, and the dude that they talked to called these songs "earworms". Seems appropriate enough. And yes, "Milkshake" is now thundering through my cranium, thank you so much Shawn!!! :evil: "Lala lala la...they want it all...lala lala la...the boys are waiting..." GAAAAAHHHH!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheus Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Milkshake according to urban dictionary. Thanks to whoever mentioned Cibo Matto. I now have Sci-fi Wasabi in my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iainl Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Fortunately for me, I've got the utterly brilliant current single from Franz Ferdinand stuck in my head now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcalx Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 While I may have infected a few of you with the Milkshake song take reprieve in the fact that I still haven't gotten it out of my head. I'm off to listen to some Caustic Window to burn this stupid ditty out of my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan B. Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Well, I just listened to the Milkshake song and I'm glad to say that it's already forgotten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 My girlfriend OWNS that Kelis CD. She has the worst taste in music. Let's put it this way: she's watched Glitter at least three times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 I've always thought of earworms as the good music that you don't like. Its good because its catchy and its stuck in your head but that doesn't mean you have to like it. I usually end up with the Dan Patrick radio show theme in my head. Which is a nice little jingle but overall just useless. Its better than the other day that I had that craptastic new mcdonalds "I'm lovin it" crap going through my head.

rustyjaw Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 You've all heard of the Meme theory right? According to it, catchy tunes are memes fighting for brains to inhabit. Like genes fight for bodies to be transcribed into. Anyway, I won't bore anyone with details... But I did hear that Badger 'song' for the first time yesterday and it is indeed insidious, and cute...a deadly combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
