songs that get stuck in my head

these are some of the songs that get stuck in my head and just won't get out for days. it doesn't matter if i have heard the entire song, just a little snippet, or if someone has just mentioned the name of the song. it will be in my head indefinitely. and i will randomly start singing it. if i try to listen to other music, i just know that i'm trying to forget the other song and it stays there even longer. the only cure is for it to run its course. so, without further ado:

  • take it on the run - reo speedwagon
  • i wanna know what love is - shirley bassey
  • jingle bells
  • st. elmo's fire - john parr
  • only time - enya
  • three blind mice
  • tom's diner - suzanne vega
  • don't you want me - human league
  • where do they make balloons? - they might be giants
  • take me home tonight - eddie money
  • promise of a new day - paula abdul
  • be with you - mr. big
  • all by myself - celine dion
  • if i could turn back time - cher
  • seasons of love and la vie boheme - rent soundtrack

that's all i can think of right now. i know there's more. i actually do thoroughly enjoy most of these songs; it's just that once i hear them, they're with me for at least three days. really, i think the reo speedwagon is the worst one because i don't really know all the words. next would be the eddie money song. it's funny that a lot of these are from the 80's ...

what are the songs that plague you?
