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?

See my post above for the source on this one. It's for real.

Shhhhhhh .... we're not telling Jim Rob or Clarity!

[jrherreid]

Thanks!

Hope I don't get in trouble for posting it... I had no idea where it was from.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Our secret is probably safe :-).

Besides, there is an "e-mail this article" feature on that link .... which is how you probably were sent this in the first place, yes?! (Just nod your head in agreement! :-)

"I think so Brain... but how will we get the fish out of the bottles?"

[pankot]

Just be glad it isn't "Kumbaya" or "Give Peace a Chance"!

Try arranging your privates on a table and pounding them with a 3 lb mallet...if that doesn't work, try lots and lots of alcohol....if that doesn't work, open up your wrists...

ROFL...my bad.

[truthkeeper]

Oh........ I've got a brand new pair of roller skates, you've got a brand new key...."
Sung in a really whiny girly voice, of course.

The singer: Melanie.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Oh nuts..... I was hoping to forget that name!
Unfortunately, I'll never forget that voice!!!! :-(

Arthur Clarke had a short story about songs that stick with you. A professor had the theory that such songs (like "Nothing Could be Finer than to be in Carolina") are approximations to the "ultimate" perfect melody.

He constructed a synthesizer to scan through all possible melodies.

A Janitor found the prof in his lab, the synth set on "repeat", in a catatonc trance. He pulled the plug and went for help.

Now the prof is a vegetable, sitting in an asylum, beating time with his hand, ceaselessly.

====================

"Hey, wait a minute! You said the janitor found him and pulled the plug! How come the janitor wasn't himself entranced?"

"Some people are just tone-deaf."

"Apologies to Alfred Bester"

And Terra is my nation;
Deep Space is my dwelling place;
The Stars My Destination."

Sing this instead:

Song Parody: "Hello Mullah, Hello Fatah (Camp Osama)"

[shaggy eel]

,,, why would you want to stop it? This song is your life now.

[ChadGore]

Take 1 "Who let the dogs out" and 2 "Theme from Flintstones" and call me in the morning.

[reality bytes]

go out, buy the cd, and listen to it for 3 days. by that time, you will be sick of it, and it will never cross your mind. worked for me with britneys "oops".

I always go to that Big Country song. "In a Big Country" from somewhere in 1984 time frame.

In a Big Country, dreams stay like a lovers voice off a mountain side".

Works everytime...

Patient: Doctor, you have to help me. I have this song running through my head and I can't seem to do anything about it. You have to help me.

Doctor: What's the name of the song?

Patient: "It's the Green, Green Grass of Home"

Doctor: Ah, I see what the trouble is. You have Tom Jones disease. It's a manifestation that causes one to repeat Tom Jones songs.

Patient: Is it very common to have such a disease?

Doctor: It's not unusual.

[The Duke]

Take five "Let's Go to the Hop!"'s and call me in the morning!

If that doesn't work, we may have to put you on "Hefty, Hefty Cinch Sack!"'s!

[connectthedots]

Then there is Herman Hermit's "Short Shorts".
