Following on from the "old/new music " thread I can't get, "My old man's a dustman " out of my head now :cry::cry:

do you have days when terrible lyrics/tunes stick in your head?

It's usually the last one your hear on the radio in the car or when leaving home.

anyone else? Which song stuck in your head?

    Anything by The Feeling. Oh how I hate their catchy choons.
  • I get that 'I wish I was a punk rocker' all the time in the saddle, and not got a clue why

    On tours I get

    "He ain't heavy" by the Holies

    The road is lo o o ng, with many a winding turn
    That leads us to who knows where
    Who knows when..

    I can't remember all the words so make them up

    AArrrrggghhh

    At least the dustman song is gone now thanks :x


    all together now

    But I'm strong
    Strong enough to carry him
    He ain't heavy, he's my brother

    Venga Bus - by The Venga Boys had that stuck in my head through my finals at uni.

    Theme to shaun the sheep (CBBC) always gets my mum, and the LLama song is my current soundtrack to life!

    On the way to races, I like to get myself "fired up" with a bit of Linkin Park or similar raucousness.

    So why then do I get some bloody awful Shania Twain song wandering between my ears when the racing actually starts. :?:

    It just ain't right I tell you......................it's affecting my performance!

    Most recent tune in my head if "dancin in the disco bumper to bumper, wait a minute, where's me jumper, where's me jumper?"

    I have been know to sing "Oh I wish I was a contractor with flowers in my hair"

    This is another good reason why we should listen to MP3's while cycling methinks....

    I went on my first tour this year, the sun came out and I did the first 200 miles with "I'm on my bike" to the tune of "We're on the ball"., My own fault really but it did fit the mood for a couple of hundred metres. Ear worm I think the Germans call it.

    God its bad.

    Not that its a bad album but I had The Boy With the Arab Strap (Belle and Sebastien) buzzing around my head all night before a day of mtbing once. I was knackered the next day! Its an unbelievably catchy album.

    I don't know why but that effing big girls Mika song gets so much airplay it's starting to stick. :evil:

    Confession time here !

    When going downhill fast I always sing (in my head of course)

    "oh yes , I'm the great descender! "

    To the tune of Great Pretender!

    Sad I know

    Pity I can't sing a similar song 'The great ascender!"

    Aah, a subject that's dear to my heart :P :):D 8) :wink: ...

    It's all the same
    only the names will change
    everything wasted away
    I walk these streets alone
    a loaded six string on my back
    I'm playing for keeps
    'cos I might not make it baxk
    I'm a cowboy
    on a steel horse I ride
    I'm wanted
    dead or alive

    (Bon Jovi) :roll: :?: :?: :? or anything else that's cheesy from the 80s, eg Duran or Spandau. Don't say a prayer for me now, save it for the morning after.....

    i would nt worry about the jovi too much

    but i agree with the Toto lyrics, although "she just smiled and made me a veggiemite...sandwhich" by men at work should get an honourable mention

    try riding with an ipod on perhaps......

    Our german comrades call them "brain-worms" or is it "ear-worms", can't remember.
    My worst is anything by Boney M from the 80s, "by the rivers of Babylon..." or "brown girl in the ring.."
