Shakira could be wearing a burqa and still be muy caliente!

There's no hiding those hips!

I don't remember which picture came first, but the 'monkey's uncle' is Merlin. The song is at the very beginnning of the film and you get to see Annette and the Beach Boys on stage at a coffee house. It's really funny to see the look on Dennis Wilson's face. My guess... he's high.

[speedy]

Well, looks like we're here to shovel the dirt on the coffin of this thread. Anyway, drugs were probably the only way Dennis could get through a session with Annette. You used to see exotic combinations like that all the time on shows like "Shindig" or "Hullaballoo." Like Petula Clark and The Animals, or Lesley Gore and James Brown. After Annette we were given Donna Loren, another Shindig performer, as the beach singer. And I've still got "Sukiyaki" in my head from the other day. Maybe "Wooden Heart" will be next.

THANKS ALOT!!! Now I've got THAT song in my head! By the way....did anyone ever bring up Rhinestone Cowboy? or...Me and My Arrow?

[Consort]

Ravel's String Quartet in F Major.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

That's what "Wherever, Whenever" is based on?

-Anything you can do I can do better! I can do anything better than you...
NO YOU CANT
-YES I CAN
NO YOU CANT
-YES I CAN, YES I CAN, YES I CAN!!

I should've been on broadway

"This is the song that doesn't end . . . "

Sing it with me!

This is the song that doesn't end
It just goes on and on, my friend
Some people started singing it, not knowing what it was
And now they'll keep on singing it forever just because
This is the song that doesn't end . . .

[Xenalyte]

"I heard my mama cry . . . I heard her pray the night Chicago died . . ."

[savedbygrace]

You cruel woman, you.

I'd only just gotten that song out of my head not too long ago. Now look what you've done.

Cross-linking this thread...

Springsteen torture at Camp X-Ray

[ronalda]

oh god, I thought I was so alone!
(but do they have to call this horrible affliction "ear worms"?)
"My Sharona", anyone?

[ronalda]

I hear the latest Leonard Nimoy CD is great, also.

[InShanghai]

Can't believe there are still replies to this thread... but how about a little "superfreak"?

[ronalda]

Sufferers of this affliction must avoid Karaoke Bars at all costs lucky they have gone the way of this Boomer music. (not that that helps, now it is in every TV commercial.)

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Hey, how 'bout this song from the Legendary Shack Shakers (as played on that Geico commercial):

I said-a little hunny-bunny tell me what's your twenty?
I got my rabbit ears on an' I wanna get chummy-chummy...

[PoorMuttly]

For years now Muttly has had Soupy Sales' great hit "Bafalafika" ringing in his head. He tried doing "The Freddy" for hours on end, but it didn't help.

'Explains a lot, doesn't it.

[thermalrain]

My GOD!!! I cannot stand this woman. Nice afro. That commercial of Christy Lane wakes me from a dead sleep.

[Psycho_Bunny]

The vast majority of people say they have been mentally tortured at one point in their lives by a song that keeps repeating itself over and over in their heads.

This is precisely why the jerk-off who first decided putting music in elevators and businesses was a good idea should burn in hell.

One piece of a song I like getting stuck in my head. Found it on a DVD on D-Day
''lets load that oar on the train
lets turn that steel into pain
we have a job to do''
I think its the chorus to a song done by the Andrew Sisters.
