Most annoying song that got suck in your head during a ride

Today during a quick high paced ride to get ready for a race on Sunday Weird Al's "Pretty Fly for a Rabbi" got suck in my head, I haven't heard that song in years! That was the only thing in my head the entire ride, it was killing me, and I knew maybe 10 words. I tried everything to get it out of my head, talked to myself, tried to think of any other song, even started repeating license plate numbers that passed me, but it kept coming back! I usually have a good fast paced angry song that keeps the ride fast in my head, not today, I just had "Our temple's had fair share of rabbis in the past, but most of them..." AHHHHHH!

What has been the most annoying song that you've had in your head during a ride?

BTW if on your next ride this song pops into your head because you read this, I'm very sorry.

Lately, I would have to say that it was "Old McDonald Had a Farm". The other day I got stuck in Atlanta traffic with my niece so we started singing that song and making up silly animal names and silly animal sounds to go with them. It was a lot of fun. But, then I hopped on the bike and that song kept popping back into my head...I made the best of it by making up silly animal names for the cars and even sillier sounds for the drivers. Sure the people in the neighborhood thought it odd for me to make those sounds as I rode past their houses, but that's OK because I don't live here!

A song by the Aussie band - Divinals - Pleasure and Pain.

It's very appropriate on long rides with the chorus, "It's a fine line between pleasure and pain, you've done it once, you can do it again, whatever you did, don't try to explain, it's a fine, fine line between pleasure and pain."

I don't really mind it being in my head because it's sort of my theme song on long rides.

I hate it when your mobile phone tune gets stuck in your mind.

I couldn't say where it came from but one time riding through Boca I started humming a Frank Zappa tune 'Jewish Princess'off of "Sheik Yerbouti" you know the one that goes( I want a blank little Jewish Princess With blank blank blank ).You can be creative filling in the blanks though Frank was pretty creative himself.My favorite line may be(A horny little Jewish Princess With a garlic aroma that could level Tacoma)though that may just be because its one of the few lines suitable for printing.

Toronto Tonto's, BY Max Webster. I had the opening lyric stuck in my head on a trip downtown.

And I quote:" Bonjour aux amie de malheur, nous sommes fous!"

Probibly one of the weirdest songs recorded along with Hocus Pocus, by Focus.

But If you are trying to get any song out of your head, I find Jingle Bells works.

But then again, only the "Smurf Song" can remove "Jingle Bells"

MONKEES' THEME SONG
The Monkees


Here we come
Walking down the street
we get the funniest looks from
everyone we meet.

Hey, hey we're the Monkees,
and people say we monkey around.
But we're too busy singing,
to put anybody down.

We go wherever we want to,
do what we like to do.
We don't have time to get restless,
There's always something new.

Hey, hey we're the Monkees,
and people say we monkey around.
But we're too busy singing,
to put anybody down.

We're just trying to be friendly,
come watch us sing and play.
We're the young generation,
and we got something to say.

Hey, hey we're the Monkees,
You never know where we'll be found.
So you'd better get ready,
We may be coming to your town.

Hey, hey we're the Monkees,
and people say we monkey around.
But we're too busy singing,
to put anybody down.

With a 3 month old baby at home, I am sure that it won't be too long before "Fruit Salad" (yummy yummy!) sung by The Wiggles will be too pervasive to chase out of my mind!

At least the Sponge Bob Square Pants theme song is less annoying!

Recently, I had "the banana splits song" stuck in my head. Also, I found myself singing aloud, "Mama looka booboo!" OFten it's sort of nonsense songs like that.

I frequently repeat "Sister Christian" by Night Ranger. I don't know why, but it happens.

Just lately it's been Salmon Hater's "6.66". Annoying because I only know the chorus:

"six point six six... is one hundredth... of the number... of the beast!"

For those who don't know, Salmon Hater are a rather obscure fish-metal band from Glenelg.

That song by No Doubt - goes "Hey baby, Hey Baby, Hey"

That song makes me want to shoot myself, or dive in front of the oncoming Mack truck!
