Can't Get You Out Of My Head



I was just writing "hell" and "boobless" on my calculator and just thought about how annoying some songs are. The reason I thought this was between laughs, when I was comptrolling whatever it is you call it when you use letters as numbers- My initial thought was alphanumerics, but then soon realized I couldn't convey (in the letters Aleph, Yod and Qof, or the primal, infinite energy of the Universe) "boobies," alas, it has something to do with decoding an ancient Hebrew alphabet(thanks a lot, Madonna), I was humming a treacherous tune. On one of my last posts, some anonymous replied to my list of summer jams with the 1970 effort, In The Summertime by Mungo Jerry. First-of-ly, thanks for the submission. As you can tell by the other comments, I'm a popular. In high school I was voted most likely to "blog." Second-of-ly, you totally made/ruined my day by writing a song title that ruined my day when I realized I was whistling the melody to that bewitching effort. So it got me to thinking- what are some other songs that annoyingly stick in your head-- hooks so achingly god-awfully horrendous, so wonderfully atrocious, the mere title of the song will stick the melody in your dumb head for a good spell? While most titles seem to be from the 70's, there are a few others form susequent decades that'll do the job. Oh, and a lot of songs will stick in your head if you hear them enough, but these are the more offensive ones.
1. What A Fool Believes - The Doobie Brothers. He came from somewhere back in her long ago. Often mistaken for early Michael Mcdonald, this Doob's number will have you playing brain synthesizer and wondering if the guy who is singing is black, or what?!
2.Raindrops keep falling on My Head- B.J. Thomas. You can hum the whole song if you try. Couple that with a questionable montage of bicycle riding in Butch Cassidy & The Sundance kid, and you've got bonafide shitty.
3.Baker Street- Gerry Rafferty. velvety sax, a couple bottles of Champale. Duh.
4.Southern Nights- Glen Campbell I think we all have a love/hate affair with Glen. This is definitely on the hate side of things.
5.Seasons In The Sun- Terry Jacks This one's chorus sticks in your head more than the melody per se. However, both are criminal. Unless you're Johnny Krautner...then everything makes perfect sense.
6.I Can't Wait- Nu Shooz. I swear to God.
7. She Drives Me Crazy- Fine Young Cannibals. I know, right? Why the shit are these turds even all up in my brain. Look, some people go to fight Cholera in 1925, like a conservative doctor and a restless society girl, who marry hastily and relocate to Hong Kong. There they betray each other easily, and find an unexpected chance at redemption and happiness while on a deadly journey into the heart of ancient China. Other people Netflix The Painted Veil, listen to Fine Young Cannibals, and blog to nobody.
8. Axel F.- Harrold Faultermeyer
Rockit- Herbie Hancock
19- Paul Hardcastle
Rock Me Amedeus- Falco
One Night In Bangkok- Murray Head - what kind of city is it?
Puttin' On The Ritz- Taco - Super duper.
I believe that these are all installments of one gigantic sucky song that gets stuck in your head.
9.How Bizzare- OMC what?
10. Baja Men - Who Let The Dogs Out? Did I stutter?
There's a million more but I'm bored of this.
