Make it stop!!

Inexplicably, I have had 'An American in Paris' stuck in my head all day. Mostly the slow, melodic section. Just curious- what's stuck in YOUR (collective) heads right now, and just how annoying is it?

This is the kind of thing that sticks in my head:

@gleft = #pmax[@i] -#genmw[@i]
@mod = mod(@gleft,10)/10
@num = @gleft/10 - @mod
@inc = @inc + @num
@atmax = abs(#pmax[@i] - #genmw[@i])

(And I just found out that a whole lot of computer code doesn't paste right into Tubenet....math symbols get "translated" into very weird stuff. Huh.

Some days I'd much rather have a tune stuck.

My wife's boss once hummed "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" for a month straight.

Usually something we play in band. Imperial March and Loony Tunes seem to win. Whatever I heard last on the radio before I go home and try to go to bed (two of the worst all time "I hear you knockin'" and "Message in a bottle" phrases over and over).

When playing the club circuit in a duo, we used to play that every night. One bartender would usually start a blender and just throw ice in until we stopped.

The searchers all said they'd have made Whitefish Bay....

For some unknown reason "Too Fat Polka" popped into my mind about 5 minutes before reading this thread.

"Hair" from the musical "Hair" as that's one of the songs we're working on with my high school choir. If not that then any number of children's songs I sing with the elementary students. Don't know which is worse

Walton "Portsmouth Point Overture," Always puts me in a happy place to listen to that piece, especially the London Philharmonic/Thompson recording. Owen Slade lays that piece down with the biggest, most gorgeous sound I have ever heard a tuba make.

OK, I got over my mad spell.
Now the song that's in my head is the Hokey Pokey.
(it drives the voices nuts!)

I have found that wearing a spaghetti strainer during a full moon stops the transmissions from the mothership. All the rest of the time this is what the voices tell me:

Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
I'm Schizophrenic
And So am I.

I have a ringing in my ears from tinnitus and it sounds 92 cents below the lowest octave of E-Flat. It started when I attended the World Wide Recorder Concert.

Yes, the voices, they love the brown sound

Dang!
That one's good!
I'd better write that'n down before I forget it!

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Most poems rhyme,
This one does not.

When I get "The Happy Farmer" in my head, it refuses to leave. I practiced it last night and I'm still hearing it in my head this morning...

I like the tune, though...

The CRT "whistle" that most people can't hear.
The transformer humming / buzzing on the dilapidated supressor power strip (probably now useless).
The fan in this aging Dell box.
The periodic click of the harddrive.
The refrigerator two rooms away that is on its last legs.

I HATE all this stinking background noise!!!

Guaranteed to eliminate any persistent tune from your head:
Funkytown, by Lipps Inc.
I DO, in fact, have this CD as would any colllector of fine, classical music.
