10 Songs that Got Stuck in My Head
Ever had a song stuck in your head?
Last week I talked about The Hairbrush Song and how it was one of the songs that can quickly get stuck in my head. In fact, having a song stuck in my head is actually something that happens to me quite often. So here’s 10 of them. Read it at your own risk… for obvious reasons.
1. O Where Is My Hairbrush? (from Veggie Tales)
This song is simply too awesome. And it gets stuck in my head quickly.
2. Captain Planet Theme Song
Damn, this song is catchy. Did you know that it’s by Phil Collins? Anyway, my sister sent me a link to the end credit video of Captain Planet, which we used to watch (dubbed in Chinese too). And that song quickly got stuck in my head. For a while I sang it to everyone. One day I thought, “Just how long has this song been stuck in my head?” and I thought back to the people I sang it to and the occasions… and realized that it had been more than half a year. That was probably the song that was stuck in my head for the longest time.
3. Never Gonna Give You Up (by Rick Astley)
Again, such a catchy one. And Rick Astley certainly had an interesting way of dancing to it. I also learned what Rickrolling is. It was stuck in my head when I was at a karaoke bar, so that was what I ended up singing.
4. DVNO (by Justice)
My co-worker loves the music of this electronic music band from France called Justice. He plays their music at work all the time so it gets stuck in my head. In addition to DVNO, I also like many of their other tracks such as D.A.N.C.E., The Party, etc.
5. Sadeness (by Enigma)
I guess I dig this kind of music. I first heard this song on the radio, thought it sounded really cool, and asked my friend what it is. It’s definitely not the kind of stuff I hear on the radio every day. I like the video too.
6. Girly Man!!!!!!
Okay, this song is not really called Girly Man but I have no idea what it’s really called. Click on the link above to watch it yourself. I laughed my ass off.
7. 年輕不要留白 (Do Not Leave the Canvas of Youthfulness Blank)
This is a 1987 pop song from Taiwan and it was possibly the very first pop song that I’ve ever learned. It’s an upbeat song about go do things while you are young instead of wasting time. Looking back… yep, things really have changed a lot. As an additional treat, here’s a 1988 music video from possibly the first boy band in Taiwan. All Taiwanese people in our generation know all their classic songs.
8. 日月爭輝 (Sun and Moon Shining in the Sky)
This is a track used in fight scenes involving Pili’s main characters Su Huan-Jen (previous blogged about here) and Tan Wu-Yu. I was humming it without realizing it until someone pointed out to me. (The track I’m talking about is the background music in the video starting at around the 1:10 mark.)
9. It Sucks to be Me (from Avenue Q)
This is the song that introduces us to every single character to broadway musical Avenue Q (which is on tour in Australia right now, I believe). I loved the show and I loved the song. I think it’s the kind of song that reminds you that everybody has issues and stop thinking those woe-is-me thoughts.
10. Do the Hussle
And finally… Do the Hussle. I first heard it in an Old Navy commercial and it got stuck in my head. Actually, a lot of Disco songs get stuck in my head because they are all so damn catchy! Speaking of which… where is my disco ball?
