We've all been song bombed before. When you hear a song and it stick in your head, when somone begins to sing and suddenly you find yourself joining in whether you want to or not, when you just can't stop listening to that dumb commercial jingle in your head... you have been song bombed. Thats right, somebody dropped you up the song bomb!

What songs realy bomb you?


Some of mine:
Teenagers by My Chemical Romance
I'm Still a Guy by Brad Paisely
The Song That Doesn't End by Lamb Chops and Company
No Leaf Clover by Metallica
Little Piece of Heaven by Avenged Sevenfold

My current bomb? Livin' La Vida Loca by Ricky Martin

For the record, I bombed myself with Little Piece of Heaven when I mentioned it...

Already a concept with it's own word: earworm.

AARGH! Someone should delete that song from public conciousness.

Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen and pretty much anything by Jason Boland.

''Always Look on the Bright Side of Life'' at the moment.

For me, it always seems to be the cheesiest songs by artists I generally dislike.

I was in the lab one day, and "Open Your Eyes" by Snow Patrol came on. Now, they're ok, but I'm really not that into them. The song played, and I had my arms in a fume cupboard so I couldn't switch the station or turn it down. Later, no matter what was playing on the radio, I couldn't help finding myself humming that £"@:@~ little dirge to myself! >:[

A similar thing - again, arms in a fume cupboard, so no easy access to radio switch - happened with a song by...The Corrs. Now, you'd think that'd be the shameful part. No. The shameful part came later at home when, still humming it, and with my totallylegalhonest d/l of Fargo stuck in the mud, I ended up watching the entire MTV Unplugged by The Corrs. *sobs - I have become my mother*

When I went on holiday to France, it happened with "Stairway to Heaven" - this may have been cannabis-related - and my friends were bemused to find me listen to the song about 43 times in a row while washing up.

And I seem to find myself humming songs by The Shins in the presence of my hipster-snob friends who do not approve.

So, yes. The music seems to bypass the taste department when it gets stuck on repeat-play.

There are a few unavoidable classic rock superhits that refuse to fade into oblivion like they should. Meatloaf's "Paradise By The Dashboard Light" and "I Was Made For Loving You" by Kiss are a few of the tracks that I've heard way too many times. And when you hear them, those overplayed songs creep in your head and just won't go away. Bon Jovi songs also have that terrorizing quality.

It would be kind of me to warn you. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cMD4p2HfEo)

If you're gay, you're doubly vulnerable to this.

Who let the dogs out? Who? Who? Who?.....

The Crazy Frog. Arrrgh...

Girl from Impenima-once you get it in your head, it dominates for like a week.

For some reason, the theme to "I Dream of Jeannie" has been in and out of my head for the last 10 years or so...

Nothing in particular gets stuck with me. Last one was Wham's Last Christmas after a workmate was humming it on Thursday. That lasted a few hours, I guess.

Actually, at one point there was a period of a good two, three months when I had Pressure Point by the Zutons stuck in my head. Kinda amusing, seeing as the particular bit I had stuck consisted of the line "Can't get this pressure point out of my head"...

the music just won't stop *rocks in corner*

so I'm not alone in that songs lyrics making an amazing connection :p

La Macarena- Los del río ((I hate the fact that that bomb is of Spanish origin. :())

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy, when skies are gray...

Monster Mash by Bobby Picket and The Cryptkickers anybody?

Right turn by Alice in Chains. my mothers music, not a fan, but not bad either.

BUT REALLY CATCHY!

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy, when skies are gray...

Awww, thanks! :fluffle:

Awww, thanks! :fluffle:
We'll see how thankful you are after it's been in your head for a week!

You have a cool mum.

You have a cool mum.

Blech. I'm twenty or fifteen years behind her in my musical tastes.

So regress! The late 80s/early 90s were the shit, musically.

EDIT: Not that I was old enough to listen to music at the time, but still.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy, when skies are gray...
Yep, yep.

And then there's Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=wcxCdDXm7ao)...

Just the opposite for me. I Dream of Jennie - a week... Girl from Impenima - years.
:D

I'm saying I like music from the late 60s/early 70's. Hard rock mostly. I'm behind my mother by 15-20 years, not behind this year.

Oh, I see. I thought you meant the other way round.

Well, late 60s is ok, pscyh era and all that.

"Development," Nonpoint (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4XQUWyXgAs). The chorus has worked itself so deeply into my subconscious that I sometimes wake up singing it.

"Missed Me," Dresden Dolls (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpeWHPtviFQ). It's a childhood taunt turned into a song about child molestation, and it won't get out of my brain. There should be some form of regulation preventing musicians from using well known childhood rhymes; it just isn't fair on my poor memory.

Lollipop, Lollipop, oh lolli lolli lolli, LOLLIPOP! It'll be stuck in your head, just wait for it.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy, when skies are gray...
ARGH!

*head asplode*

If you ever watch the movie "The Wanderers" that Ooo wee ahh ooo ooo eee from the song "Walk Like a Man" will stick with you a while.
:D

What about Bananna Phone?

Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen and pretty much anything by Jason Boland.

I wish Bohemian Rhapsody would haunt me, but no, I keep hearing this -

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
Each one she passes goes "ah"

Let it soak in and it will not be dissolved.

Yes, The Purple Turtle song!
Sweet Caroline, by Neil Diamond.
