So...every now and then there's a song you can't get out of your head no matter what you do. A few weeks ago, Blizzard showed the dance for the new male Dranei in World of Warcraft.

Curious about where it came from, I found this:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=5uvA1AnyRdc

That goddamn song's been in my head for days now. "doot doot, doot doot, doot doot, da da da". I can't understand a word of it, but it's catchy.

What's the latest song you can't get out of your head?

Ahhhahaha! The Tunak Tunak song! My friends and I laugh so hard at that.
I usually end up with the last song I listened to in my head until I can get a new one.

Ah Daler Mehndi, the 'lord of dance'.


Anyway I listen to so much music each day I don't even remember half of it.

Wall of Voodoo's "Mexican Radio." Great ditty. Here's how you get rid of it: start humming "It's a Small World After All" for a few minutes-that will drive everything else out. Of course there's no cure for having "Small World" stuck, but it's up to you to see if the tradeoff is worthwhile.

I get "Barbie Girl" stuck in my head every time I hear it (which is probably every other week, for some odd reason-I certainly don't go looking for it!).

Heard it-I thought it was German until I was corrected. It's hillarious because of the male voice, but the TUNE is what keeps it stuck. Damn tune!

I just love it when the guy flips out at the end of a verse trying to fit like 20 words were 5 were in the english version.

True.


Don't Cha can be infectious with the sheer amount of airplay it was getting from those Heineken commercials.

Numa-numa gets stuck once in a while, but I HAD forgotten the badger song up until now... Gee thanks, Eug!

Don't Cha get stuck a bit, but I first heard it really well in Madagascar, so it doesn't stick too badly.
