The only other choice is to kiss a man, yuck I've always told my sons to be thankful that women are dumb enough to waste their time (and kisses) on us.

I drove a tractor mowing the fairway's of a golf course for several summers. There were four of us, who happened to be good friends, and we would start each day at 6am by an old barn talking about what we had planned and drinking coffee. We all lived a pretty rural lifestyle and would joke about being a bunch of hillbillies which prompted a rousing chorus of the "Beverly Hillbillies" theme song one morning. One of the guys came back at lunch complaining about how he couldn't get the damn thing out of his head all morning. He tried a reggae version, classical versions, rock, etc. but it wouldn't stop. So, of course, every morning after that at least one of us would just sing the opening "Weeeelllll, the first thing you know..." and that was enough to get it going!Mewman

He said "But they did want to hear it".Yup, I'll never forget when I was a pre-teen and built a Heathkit Electronic Workshop. I wired up a radio and ran copper wire all through the trees in our backyard as an antenna.One of the best stations I got (from Michigan) was WBZ in Boston. The first time I heard "Walk Like A Man" by the Four Seasons I about fell out of bed with my little earphone on! I couldn't believe it, how the lead singer just "spoke" to me with his falsetto, and the rest of the band sang like real men.I just listened recently to the "Hits" of the early Four Seasons, and just love their poor-boy, working class lyrics and attitude. They REALLY influenced Springsteen. They were all about class-consciouness, and how poor people were looked down upon. (I grew up poor, as my dad was a music teacher with a lousy salary, and had to play gigs on the weekend to support my mom and 5 kids). The song "Rag Doll" almost brings me to tears --- I wore "hand-me-down" clothes from my rich cousins, and lived in a rich, white conservative town.Man, those songs are just great, as are the arrangements and singing. Too bad Frankie Vallie didn't write them (two other guys in the band did, and are poor guys turned rich guys, I'm sure!).Ern

My son, Jake, and I were driving to Texas last Saturday after the H'cane and that song was burned onto one of his CDs (I wonder where he got his good taste in music?) along with some newer crap (I wonder where....), that's what got us talking about them and the Bee Gees. If I remember right, Frankie had to stop singing because he lost his hearing.I showed Jake this thread last night and he said "I could add something terrible to this list of stuck-in-the-head songs. Last year you mentioned a song/artist I was not familiar with so I found it on YouTube for a listen. For a month I was singing "tiptoe through the tulips" with a mental picture of Tiny Tim and it nearly drove me crazy. I'll never forgive you for suggesting that song to me."Hey, that's what dads are for, right?

ernI coached girls track fro many years in our local high school where I taught for 30 years.The distance runners always had trouble with there lap pace so I had them repeat an infectious tune either out loud or in there head. The one I suggested was "hit me with your best shot". Ah hah, now you are doomed for the day.One of the girls opponents said" I was so sick of that song, by the last lap I just let her pass":)Paul

Leo Kotke says- "The way to get a song out of your head is to figure out the progression and play or hum it backwards thus being 180 degrees out of phase with the previous input will cancell itself, erase and you'll be free of it" I think this works. He was trying to get that Woody the Woodpecker lick out of his mind.Sorry for even bringing that lick up.
