HELP!! I Can't Get This Song Out of My Head!

[Skooz]

Someone please give me advice as to how I can get this horrid song out of my mind. I have always hated this song, and haven't heard it in years, but somewhere in the depths of my subconscious, it has hatched--like a delayed-action explosive device concocted in hell.

The song? "Long-Haired Lover From Liverpool" by Jimmie Osmond. This particular ditty was sprung on an unsuspecting world in the early 1970s. I hated it the first time I heard it ion the radio, and cannot stand it now. But, last week it just popped into my mind and it plays over and over. AAAAAaaaaaahhhhh!!!

Please what can I do to make it stop?

Some band from Sweden...I cannot recall the name right now. But, I can still see them on American Bandstand mouthing the song and trying (just barely successfully) to keep a straight face.

You don't mean "Abba," do you?

Hail to the Chief (words provided upon request)

I was recently surprised when I accidentally came across the words to "Hail to the Chief" myself.

I thought, "Holy cow: there are words to this thing?"

[RightOnTheLeftCoast]

Yeah, what Jack said. Just replace it in your head.

As a public service may I suggest any of the following:

It's A Small World After All

A Horse With No Name

Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves

...and the all-time champion:

Half Breed.

Way down below the ocean, where I wanna be, she may be...

I don't know about you but...

I'm just mad about Saffron, she's just mad about me...

Proceed immediately to http://www.barneyonline.com/index2.asp and watch the flash movie for 5 minutes.

Cheese Whiz under your armpits will enhance the effect.

It's from one of the Osmond Brothers, isn't it?

And it could be worse. He could have Donny Osmond's "YoYo" stuck in his head. Ugh.

[sakic]

A bullet to the brain could alleviate the problem.

Call 867-5309 or simply increase your Air Supply.

You're welcome.

Sounds like a problem Mark Twain (Samuel Clemmons) once described in a short story written in the late 1800's. He was travelling by train and a short "ditty" about validating a train ticket kept going through his head.

"Punch, brothers, punch with care, punch in the presence of the pass-en-jar"....

I believe the key to getting rid of the torment was getting someone else to get the ditty into his or her head.....

Could this be a new kind of terrorist activity??? Scary indeed!!

[gjenkins]

Kevin Cronin rocks!

You don't mean "Abba," do you?

Abba is light years, musically speaking, ahead of whoever did the Ooga-chucka version of "I Can't Stop This Feeling".

There was something in the air that night,
The stars were bright, Fernando...

[KateUTWS]

Blue Swede it is! AudioGalaxy had it listed as "Oooga chaka, not "Hooked on a Feeling". Boy what DRECK! Oooga chukka,oooga chukka, oooga chukka....

[CubicleGuy]

He could have Donny Osmond's "YoYo" stuck in his head.

Oh, man.

There's a candidate for Rush's "Grooveyard of Forgotten Hits" pre-show if ever there was one.

[CubicleGuy]

A bullet to the brain could alleviate the problem.

But probably not.

Jerry Falwall has apologized for your sins.
Jessie Jackson has filed a protest, saying it was his duty to apologize for you.
Al Sharpton has declared music is a plot against him.
Jimmy Swaggart says it was his sin that caused your pain.
Tammy Faye said she still has Jim and Tammy dolls for sale.
Pat Robertson says the more you give, the more he will prey on you pray for you.

The rain has stopped.
The music won't.
You are doomed.
You should not have consumed the cheese.

I am the slime

(Hey, wuznt Frank kinda middle-eastern lookin?)

I am gross and perverted
I'm obsessed 'n deranged
I have existed for years
But very little had changed
I am the tool of the Government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you

I may be vile and pernicious
But you can't look away
I make you think I'm delicious
With the stuff that I say
I am the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I am the slime oozin' out
From your TV set

You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don't need you
Don't got for help...no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold

That's right, folks..
Don't touch that dial

Well, I am the slime from your video
Oozin' along on your livin'room floor

I am the slime from your video
Can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go

[Snow Bunny]
