Ever hear a new song that you just can't get out of your head????

<p>I rarely listen to new music–when I saw the the title of this thread, I immediately thought of Viva la Vida–</p>

<p>I remember when I first heard it–(I was in Home Depot). I actually thought it was an old 80’s
song, and I said to H, “Gosh, I haven’t heard THIS in forever. . .” something about it really reminded me of an old song, but I can’t say what song that was. Then I realized it was a new song–heard it all last summer at the pool. Something catchy and sad about it.
Before that, several years ago, a song that gave me the same feeling was Five for Fighting-- 100 Years. Catchy and sad.</p>

<p>Lately, a few OLD songs that have been stuck in my head are: (blush) Glenn Campbell, “Gentle on My Mind” (my dad always loved that song. . .) The Partridge Family "I Think I Love You,"and Tracy Ullman “They Don’t Know About Us” (love that video).</p>

<p>Doesn’t matter. One or the other (sometimes both!) of my kids has been in the cast of a musical for the last 8 years and it happens every year.</p>

23

<p>^^^^ I have a particular issue with avoiding anything that remotely sounds like Little rabbit foo foo. Good news-- my kids are well beyond the “school musical” stage, but if that show happens to be anything that might make the theater circuit, PLEASE JHS, warn me and tell me the name!</p>

<p>Guys, it’s little BUNNY foo foo, not little RABBIT foo foo. [Little</a> Bunny Foo Foo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Bunny_Foo_Foo]Little”>Little Bunny Foo Foo - Wikipedia)</p>

<p>And thanks for sticking that back in my brain ;)</p>

<p>Rodney, we are soul mates, two of my absolute favorites. Soul Sister playing on ipod right now. Love Just haven’t too. Add Black Eyed Peas I Gotta Feeling and I’m happy all day!</p>

<p>All this bunny foo foo stuff makes me think about that other great animal in song, Baby Beluga</p>

<p>I started learning to play violin about 6 weeks ago. Now those little exercises and one-line ditties are constantly stuck in my head. Ugh!</p>

<p>Sorry for another earworm entry garland, but just had to say that this thread is timely - I heard Mambo Number 5 (A little bit of Monica in my life, etc.) on the radio in the car today and just can not get it out of my head. I’ll trade it for Bunny Foo Foo or Raffi any day!</p>

<p>American Pie is in my head too now.</p>

<p>Creep by Radiohead and Machinehead by Bush are also in my head.</p>

31

<p>I just saw Crazy Heart and a couple of the songs have been running through my head for the past couple of the weeks. The theme (The Weary Kind by Ryan Bingham) has a nice sound to it. I like that Jeff Bridges & Colin Farrell did their own singing - one of the duets is pretty catchy.</p>

<p>

My nephews (who are my motorcycle riding buddies) always have their music players going through earbuds under the helmets. They ask me why I’m not listening to music. I just say "I am. I just don’t need the player. " ;)</p>

<p>BTW, Creep is on my “no player needed” playlist, too.</p>

<p>That’s the one that’s been going through my head, too, rodney. What is it about that song? Drums, ukelele, and a high pitched voice…</p>
