Billericay Dickie by Ian Dury and the Blockheads. A guy in the office is moving to Ramsgate in Thanet, so I asked him if he knew Janet and if she was a prannet. The song's been stuck in my head ever since.

I haven't heard anyone use the phrase "prannet" since I was in my teens

Mine was "Livin' on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi. I hate Bon Jovi (and all hair metal). I hate that song. But...

My eldest daughter is into a band called Five Seconds of Summer - don't ask me, they seem to basically be a pop/punk cover band....but it could be worse. She was playing one of theirs last night & it was annoying the cr@p out of me why it was so (terrible and yet somehow) familiar. Anyway, figured it out eventually, so have had Duran Duran's Hungry Like The Wolf stuck in my head all day..............

here's the evidence:

I heard that when shopping in Claires with my daughter. it stuck in my head for hours until I figured out where the hook came from I had no idea who the band were.

At least it's a decent Christmas song. Just don't think about Band Aid.

Last thing on Radio 2 as I left this morning: St Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion) - John Parr.

'I can see a new horizon underneath the blazing sky
I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher
Gonna be your man in motion
All I need is a pair of wheels
Take me where the future's lying St. Elmo's fire'

I think I have the follow-up Precious Metal too. Yep just checked - even put them into my iTunes library; Bryan Adams (pre Robin Hood) playing now

Trapped - Colonel Abrams.

Started singing it in my head when getting boxed in by nodders and traffic this morning, now can't get rid. Obviously this will be a complete mystery to the younger members of the forum.

Muppets theme tune. Thank me later.

Footloose - Kenny Loggins

Some new song by Morrisey. Songs not bad unfortunately, problem is Morrisey is an insufferable twunt so the song annoys me and is now stuck in my head.

After reading this I got "Living in a Box" by Living in a Box stuck in my head.

But what kind of box?

And can you guess the name of the album it cane from?

Blimey, just realised it’s over two years since the previous post.
Is it because people avoid this thread for fear of catching an ear worm?

Today's commute was accompanied by 'Late In The Evening' by Paul Simon going round in my head

I've had Faith by George Michael in my head for days. I don't even like the song.

I bloody love this though from Reeves and Mortimer, which is what i think of when i hear that song.

I'm trying to think of another example of the name of the band, song and album all being the same. May need to Google this.

In a similar vein, but a bit earlier, Mental As Anything's "Live It Up". Can't help but turn the volume up for that one. The kids think I'm weird - obviously - because it's not Jay-West or Eezy Beezy or whoever.
