Can’t get it out of my head…
Have you ever had a song stuck in your head that no matter how hard you tried, you couldn’t get it out?
This happens to me on a regular basis. I’ll get some inane tune running through my head and I’ll go through my day either humming or singing the darn thing. Usually, it happens to be the first song I hear when the clock radio goes off every morning.
Now if it’s a song I like, it’s no big deal. I actually don’t mind having that song in my head. It keeps me a little bit on the perky side. Now if it’s a song I can’t stand or one that has been so overplayed on the radio that I no longer like it, it’s… “Houston, we have a problem…”
A couple of years ago, I ran into this problem. No matter what time I set my alarm clock on a particular morning, the first song played on the radio when I woke up was “Oops! I Did It Again” by Britney Spears. Now at the time, I, for some reason or another, was somewhat enamored with her and I actually bought the album on which this particular diddy was released. But after waking up for more than a month to “Oops…,” I got tired of the song VERY quickly.
In fact, I drove my co-workers absolutely bonkers because I would walk around the office humming the darn song over and over. It was like a CD player stuck in endless repeat mode. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get the tune out of my mind. It also drove me insane.
So, bearing that in mind, here is my list of annoying songs I hope I never, ever, ever, ever, ever get stuck in my head again:
• “Barbie Girl” by Aqua… Featuring Minnie-Mouse-on-helium-vocals, his one ranks right up there with “Oops…”
• Any song that talks about “poo, poo, poo” anywhere in the lyrics. I think the particular song I’m referring to is by Outkast and it’s called “Roses” or “Caroline.”
• Any Michael Jackson song released after the “Dangerous” album, or when he REALLY became an utter freakazoid.
• That Spice Girls song “Wannabe”… No, I don’t want to hear what you want, what you really, really want…
• Hanson’s rendition of “O Holy Night” from about five years ago… it’s like listening to fingernails being dragged across a chalkboard… Some musical acts should never be allowed to record certain Christmas songs…
There are songs out there that I know of, but can’t recall at the current time. Suffice it to say, if any of those above or others I don’t like were to pop into my head, I would be screwed for the rest of the day… and If I get screwed by an awful song… I’m takin’ everybody else down with me… 
Happy Thursday….
