Inspired by Song-Get the %#*& Out of my Head!

By
Home Stager with Home Staging Online Services

When I read about this month's contest, three songs popped into my head immediately! That's right...three distinctively annoying songs, that dig deep into my brain matter and get mired there indefinitely. The worst part of it, is that I do not know more than a few lyrics to any of them...so I find myself belting out the part I know, and then mumbling or humming the rest. I never know what is going to set these songs off, but here they are:

The first one would have lived safely in the past, if not for it's reappearance a few years ago in a commercial for yogurt or something. After mentioning to my daughter how utterly annoying I found it, she decided to slip it into a CD she burned for me of my favorite songs. I, of course, cut her out of my will immediately.

I refuse to even type it out, so click here.

The second is just as bad. I thought I was safe from this one, until the movie by the same name started showing up on cable a couple of months ago. Just reading the name gets the song started in my head. I feel very strongly that it should be banished from the planet forever.

This one, too, I refuse to type. Click here.

Now, song number three is certainly not in the same category as the first two. The only negative is that once I hear it, it is with me all day! And, I don't know the words to this one either, so once I get out the part I know, I'm reduced to nuh nuh nuh, or doh de doh, or some other complete nonsense!

Now, this video is not the version we all know, but apparently the original singer/songwriter doesn't want to share what is probably painful for him to watch, since it features his now ex-wife! So, here is another version of the song, which seems to have the same power to dig deep into my cerebellum!

Susan - I loved Davy Jones too! 

Elaine - I already know I need therapy!  Ooh, we're getting hints now...

Here's Terrylynn's first guess:

Are we hot or cold?

I was thinking of Wayne Newtown, but surely not.  Right?  I have a funny story.  Once an older man who was a friend of a friend met us at a bar.  One of the women had her daughter with her who was about 20.  The daughter said to the man... you remind me of someone.  He said, Martin Sheen?  She said, no Wayne Newtown!  I laughed to hard, tears were pouring down my face.  What a letdown!  The girl looked at me and said I don't understand what's so funny.  He does look like Wayne Newtown (which he did, which made me laugh harder).  I said, that's like you telling me I looked like someone and I said Halle Berry?  And you said, no Liza Minelli!

Chris- Tell your mom that's a pretty good guess, But, no, that's not him! The last time I saw my guy, he had a small role in a Johnny Depp movie.

Susan- LOL!!! Oh, I can just imagine how that guy felt!!! No, it's not Wayne Newton! This guy's hair is lighter and he's taller!

ROTFLMAO... I think that is the correct way to say it.  Elaine, I have to admit, I've always thought he was cute too.  Too funny!

I even dragged a girlfriend of mine to go see him live. We were the youngest in the audience by about 20 years!

OK, but you know it couldn't have been a serious crush, because I could never be with a guy who's prettier than me and has bigger hair!

Great video. That's a side of him (her) I hadn't seen!

Elaine,

Congratulations! For winning 2nd place in the "Inspired By Song" Contest! I will admit, Tom Jones "Pussycat" song can very easily get stuck in a girls head!

Is that bikini song really a song or is that some other kind of noise or music genre?!!  Tom Jones I can actually stand for one song.

Tom Jones is annoying even before he opens his mouth!  Good call on that one! 

Congrats on the win!

Elizabeth- I am SO very happy to share my little earworms with others! ;)

Mana- Hopefully, this contest will fade away, like I wish these songs would!

Michael- It's a real song on a real record, and it makes me real sick...

Pam- I am in TOTAL agreement!!!
