Songs stuck on rewind
Fuck, I hate when you have a song stuck in your head for hours and hours and hours and hours...
There's a couple that always drive me nuts with their ability to grab hold and just repeat certain phrases non-stop (Peaches' "Fuck The Pain Away" is pretty bad, as is -- and you'll laugh, but just watch, it'll happen to you -- "Feliz Navidad").
But right now is particular one that rears its little head every few months -- Cab Calloway's "St. James Infirmary."
This is what comes of watching Betty Boop as a small child.

Try Ass and Titties by DJ Assault...it gets in your head and sticks there forever!
"Ass and titties
Ass ass and titties
Ass ass ass ass ass ass ass..."
Favourite is the "hos and bitches" refrain.
Good times.
Feliz Navidad is the most insidious, brain-hijacking, nerve-fraying song written in all of recorded history. I thought I might be the only one so stricken, but now I've found a companion in my misery. Thank you, /hg. I now know I'm not alone.
On that same note: as a child, I was stuck for an hour in the "It's a Small World" ride at Disneyworld, surrounded by singing animatronic Dutch children. I had the song in my head for four and a half years. My therapist says this explains a lot.
I have a similar problem with the "Duff Beer for me, Duff Beer for you", but sans traumatic Disney expereince.
The Feliz Navidad expereince became extra bad two years ago when my parents -- as a joke -- put one of those singing cacti (the ones that wiggle and wear a sombrero) next to my bed as I slept. A accidentally smacked it, and was jolted awake from something singing at 3 am on Christmas morning.
