Get Out of My Head: All Time Catchiest Songs

Rate Guide Rating_4_5 (6)
-620127368

There are songs that are catchy and then there are songs that you go to sleep and wake up with still lodged in your head. It's like your brain is itching, but you can't scratch it, and you would do anything short of shoving a chop stick in your ear and ending it all. You don't have to hate these songs, necessarily, but you have to hate the loss of control and powerlessness you feel under their wraths. Dump all of your songs into this Guide/receptacle. If you can't shake a song, how about replacing it with one of these. If you are upset with someone, send them this link and don't say anything. Disguise it as a hyper-link for something else. They won't be able to help themselves. At least one of these songs is bound to be too enticing not to click.

Hall and Oats: Rich Girl

Sars was less contagious than this song

Peter Cetera

Between his vocal work on Chicago songs like, “Youre My Inspiration” and his contribution to The Karate Kid 2 soundtrack, “Glory of Love”, Peter Cetera is one of the catchiest songsmith’s of all time. I’d be surprised if someone hasn’t already punched him in the neck for it by now.

Sammy Stephens: Mini Mall Rap

This Montgomery Flea Market commercial broke new records for catchiness in a theme song for southern furniture sales

Steely Dan: Peg

Named after William S. Burroughs’ dildo from the book “Naked Lunch”, Steely Dan consistently came through with smooth jazz classics. None of them are catchier than this.

The Doobie Brothers: What A Fool Believes

Damn you Michael McDonald and your smooth, smooth, sultry, sultry yacht rock voice.

shannon - let the music play

I actually fell in love with this song when it was in “The Crying Game”….. sorry.

one of my favorite songs

Aztec Camera - Walk Out to Winter

only because this one is stuck in my head today.

“…swear I’ll be there”

George Michael: Father Figure

I can’t help it. My mom was a HUGE fan of George so I grew up with his Faith CD. I don’t know why this specific song sticks in my head though.

Don't Speak- NO DOUBT

OH MAN, I hear this song once and I become a whiny sing-screamy girl. This is an anthem.

Sweet Georgia Brown

You might know it as the Globe Trotters theme. If you are capable of whistling, you will end up whistling this for hours. Lucky for me, I am incapable of putting my lips together to blow.

It's a Small World

Made marginally better in being sung by Asian kids who can’t really pronounced “world”.

Joe Jackson - Stepping Out

This song has been stuck in my head for 20 years.

George Micheal - Freedom 90

Don’t even act like it ain’t stuck in your head already.

Rockwell: Somebody's Watching Me

Somebody’s fuckin’ with me.

EMF: Unbelieveable

If you deny that this song gets stuck in your head, there’s only one thing I can say…..you’re SO unbeleivable!

Marvin Gaye - Sexual Healing

I find myself singing this song without even realizing it!

added by tmamone 11/20/2008

Subway: $5 Footlong

Although it appears in a commercial, this IS technically a song. A very annoying, yet completely addictive song which I found myself singing yesterday. Like, all day.

I know, I know. I’m sorry.

Oasis: Champagne Supernova

This one is a toss up. I wasn’t sure if I should post this or “Wonderall”.

Chicago: Hard To Say I'm Sorry

This is at the very top of my list. I can never shake this damn song.

The Killers: When You Were Young

This was another toss-up. That song “Mr. Brightside” is extremely catchy in it’s own right but, I can deal with this one better. Another bonus is that the video doesn’t start until about a minute and a half in, so you still have time to back out.

Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock: It Takes Two

They may not be internationally known, but they are certainly knowledgeable about in which manner to rock the microphone.

Stacey Q: Two of Hearts

I I-I I-I-I, used to work with a guy that would play this every day along with Debbie Gibson’s “Shake Your Love”

Lionel Richie: Hello

After singing this at work, I could take a week off and some employee would still be singing it. You can pass this one off like baton.

Level 42 - Something About You

I had to do some serious research just to find out who did this song and what it’s called.

You Are The Sunshine Of My Life - Stevie Wonder

“Next floor, women’s outerwear…” GOD, I love this song. I must hum this at least once a day. It salvages any day in the same way that only a high-quality baked good can. Someday I will (please god, please god) have someone to sing this timeless duet with. Until then, I proudly do both parts…sigh…

Hamster On A Piano (Eating Popcorn)

Damn you, YouTube. Your resources have allowed the marginally talented to a) waste a full minute of my life, and b) create catchy bubblegum tunes that will not leave me alone!

added by Matt Fried 11/12/2008

It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time!!!

I had to come add this after I saw that hamster video

Copacabana

God help me, but this has been stuck in my head for the past three days. It’ll be another four before I get it out.

Hey Mickey

Yeah, predictable. I was just thrilled to find a video. I didn’t even know that there was one. Lyrics might be a bit off.

Ghetto Boyz - My Minds Playing Tricks On Me

Can’t get the chourus out my brain

added by crackbaby 11/15/2008

Phil Collins: Easy Lover

I’ve got no pride….just tellin’ it like it is.

added by crackbaby 11/15/2008

Rick Astley: Never Gonna Give You Up

I didn’t know that the kid from Malcolm-in-the-middle was a singer! (Weird)

added by crackbaby 11/15/2008

ABBA: Dancing Queen

Is it true that “you are what you listen to”? Because, if so, this one might have me questioning alot of shit!

added by crackbaby 11/15/2008

Suzanne Vega - Tom's Diner

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUGH!!!!!!1one

added by Andrea D 11/21/2008

Scandal - The Warrior

Bonus points for evoking the image of the Stewie iPod commercial.

I noticed “Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell” by Das Racist didn’t make the cut…

Flea Market Montgomery. I almost added it, but I see you’re already a fan.

Oh gosh, don’t get me started about the Oasis song! What the hell is that song about anyway? I guess Noel was smoking some good stuff that day. Nice “Scanners” picture.
