I'm not talking about literal objects here, but rather annoying tunes and songs. As I was walking up my stairs this morning, I realised that I had been playing the Windfall theme from Zelda: Wind Waker over and over in my head for at least the previous fifteen minutes. To get rid of a song, I have to either whistle the tune or play the MP3.

Do you have this problem? Please discuss.

Yeah, I get it. It's like having a radio in my head. It's only bad when I get those sucky songs those sweaty girls sing.

It does happen quite often, yes. The sad thing is that the only songs that ever seem to get stuck in my head are awful teen-pop records. I've found that the best cure for this is to shut yourself in a dark area and play a decent song, until the poppy rubbish goes away.

I've noticed that, I too, only mindplay rather modern pop-songs. Mainly because they have lyrics I understand. If I listened to more music with lyrics I can make sense of, I'm sure THOSE would play in my mind.

I'm disappointed because I wanted this thread to be about Q-Tips or something.

I remember having that six flags theme ( with the old man--that tune) stuck in my head for the longest...it was horrible.

I usualy end up remember just a little bit of a song. And I sing it forever and I can never remember the song/find lyrics/find the song after.It drives me mad.-.-.;;

Yes. I had a friend in Biology that would complain she had a song stuck in her head, so she'd hum a little piece of it, and it would be stuck in my head then, too. >=(
Poppy songs, and theme songs, etc.

I've gone through two different John Denver CDs and every day I've had a different song in my head. Currently it's "Sunshine on my Shoulders." Yesterday it was "Follow Me."

The only cure is to replace it with a new song

I sometimes get a bad POP song on my brain... which is pretty annoying. To get rid of it I just concentrate on something else and then it's gone... mostly.

Realy bad songs always play in my head as I lay in bed at night.

I'm immune, since I have almost my music collection in my head, I can summon anything at will.

Of course, I don't need that since I listen to music for most of my time alive anyway.

My current Mindplay™ is...I have no idea. Damn. It's a song I own, and it has a good base guitar in it. Oh man. :(

That doesn't even make sense, and is thus not legally binding. *legally binds* :D

I've had "The Elves Toy Shop(orchestra piece)" in my head for two years and it won't go away. I've tried everything to get it out.

The Tetris theme gets stuck in my head all the time and it takes a lot of concentration for me not to think about it, but that's all down the drain now, thanks to <i>you</i>.

Actually, the technical term for those songs are "Ear Worms," I think.

Uhm... I have some Pink song stuck in my head for some reason.

I like to sing stupid little songs and get them stuck in my friends' heads. ^_^

Check this out on Kazaa or rent Kill Bill...listen to the tune that Elle Driver aka. Deadly California Mountain Snake (played by Daryl Hannah), whistles as she is warking down the hall in the hospital.

Twisted Nerve - Bernard Hermann.

~~~ Bloody good name in my opinion-FreaQ

When I have trouble going to sleep, I play a song in my head... then it doesn't go away. So I play another somg in my head. And it won't go away. x_X I've found out that turning on the TV and put it on Sleep in 10-20 minutes really helps. :)
