Songs Stuck in you head!

I raced my very first triathlon at the same time we were working on potty training my son.  During the whole 14 miles of the bike I was singing the "Potty Power" song from the DVD.  Nice.

I always sing songs in my head when doing laps in the pool in the morning, helps the time go past faster.

I usually just sing any of my favourite hip hop/RnB songs at the time

Try having a kid... kid songs are designed to brainwash you... right now I have Imagination Movers in my head...

Stand up... get down... jump up... turn around turn around...

Mine is from the Backyardigans....whcih happens to be on the Ipod under JoAnna's Tunes

I'm not a Egg anymore

"I've got the power" and "bicycle race"

"I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike"

Seriously... 7 weeks out from ACL replacement... I want to be able to do more than just swing my foot back and forth on the bottom of the crank....

And yes, I walk in to PT singing this... and they all laugh, thinkin' I'm crazy...
maybe they got a point...

"If I Only Had A Brain" the Scarecrow

I whistle it at work.  I am an ER doc so this song occasionally concerns my patients.

I heard a story about a resident who whistled often.  He was doing a pelvic exam and began whistling but was unaware of the song he was whistling.  The patient laughed at the song.  When he asked why she was laughing she told him that he was whistling the jingle "Oh I wish I were an Oscar Meyer Weiner"-  Classic

I played that game already and my two children are grown.  Daughter living in the Atlanta area and son a senior in college this fall.

One song that stands out from when my son was a very young pickle.  He hated his car seat and would go stiff so he would not fit in the seat so we would play a cassette with childrens songs. It always worked when we would all start signing

Ya picked a fine time to leave me Lucille,
four hundred children and a crop in the field.

I made a triathlon prep cd this weekend for SMW regionals, it seemed to workout all right some of the songs included

song/artist:

Rawkfist /move -1000 foot krutch
Step up- drowning pool
Tears don't fall (they crash around me)/waking the demon- bullet for my valentine
Contagious- trapt
Sounds of Madness- (my mind went blank on this one)
I almost told you I loved you/hollywood w****- Papa roach
something in your mouth- nickelback
broken promises/painmaker- element 80
whiskey hangover/straight out of line- godsmack
...and some others.

Always get random stuff in my head, especially when swimming laps. As others have said, kid's songs are designed to do this. Nothing gets me motivated to swim/bike/run faster than Raffi.The best though was my first half-marathon. At the start/finish area they had a radio station booth, playing, well, the radio. By coincidence, the song playing during the start was Van Halen's "Running with the Devil". It was stuck in my head the whole time. And I wasn't alone. I ran with at least a dozen other people with it too (and a few actually sang it). It became the "unofficial" song of our pace group. Great jokes and shenanigans came from that. I still remember rounding that last corner and seeing the finish line come into sight with that song in my head. Great experience for my first real distance run. Still one of the fondest race memories.

My son has been watching a lot of the animated Transformers lately so...

Transformers, more than meets the eye...

"You've got the TOUCH!! You've got the POWER!!"
Now that's all I'm going to be singing on tomorrow mornings ride.

I was doing some long hill climbs this weekend..couldn't get "Cat Scratch Fever" our of my head!!

I was singing this on the bike.. I did not even have to say "on your left" - people were moving to the side just to get out of this crazy person's way
