Saw this in iTunes tonight, and had a laugh.

My favorite pick here ... U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For". Touche.

See if you can top any of these picks ...

[JimmyLyding]

I usually have some horrible song stuck in my head that goes on an endless loop. I hate it. Last week it was a Sublime song that I won't mention here. Sometimes it's a song by Slayer, Sepultura, Bob Marley, or something Hawai'ian like Deland's food song. "Don't forget the lau lau."

[DarthStiller]

"Tourette's", by Nirvana.

[Al_HikesAZ]

Those are great. I've started putting together some tunes.
My tastes are really eclectic.
From
Waltzin' Matilda

[JimmyLyding]

Love the Rage Against the Machine song. That may be my favorite Rage song. Another song that get stuck in my head along w/ one of my favorite YouTube videos:
[ youtube video ] One of my all-time favorite workout songs for the gym.
The only thing that impresses me more than the F-15 Eagle are the men who fly them. My old friend's husband is an Eagle driver, and I frequently thank my country for allowing those men to fly those airplanes to protect all that we hold dear.

Don't forget about The Muppets: ( dead link removed ) Thank you Stiller!

[azdesertfather]

Oh, wait, how could I forget? Here's the ultimate: "I Like to Move It Move It" from Madagascar 2.
(You HAZers with numbers in my iPhone...that's been your ringtone.)

Dave, that reminds me of the aerobics class that I was forced to view @ LA Fitness today when I was doing my ab work.

[cathymocha]

Still like the "Rocky" music...getting stronger.

Was it, "I smoke two joints in the morning, I smoke two joints at night. I smoke two joints in the afternoon, it makes me feel all right. I smoke two joints in time of peace, and two in time of war, I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints, and then I smoke two more"?

OH, I love Hawaiian food songs. Andy Boomatai, to the tune of Beethoven's 5th: "Beef stew and rice, beef stew and rice..."

[Nighthiker]

Prefer the doves greeting the sunrise, the quail sounding recall of the covey and the last sigh of wind in a desert canyon during a night hike.

On my last hike, we were awakened on the last morning by turkeys looking for mates. Not a bad alarm clock, if you've got to have one...

[azbackpackr]

I got the idea we were talking about old fashioned non-electronic singing. Such as singing while you hike, or having a song stuck in your head while you hike. I tend to whistle or hum at times.

That was one fun thing about Boy Scouts, when I was a Scout leader. As long as there was no one around to make fun of them, they enjoyed singing during the last couple (hot and tired) hours at the end of a backpacking trip, hiking back to the vehicle. Whatever songs we could think of, it didn't matter.

[Alston_Neal]

My wife makes fun of me cuz for over 30 years I've hiked with a Polka tune in my head.
This is odd since I hate Polka.

Except for this one...

If hiking with juliachaos then im likely to have "rollin rollin rollin" stuck in my head.. generally its a random coheed and cambria song, although rappers delight somehow seems to work its way into my mind more often than not.. I normally save the smoke 2 joints for once i get to camp

Muse is good for jammin down the trail, as with rage against the machine, atmosphere, even a little old school rush every now and then... although, i dont really like their new stuff very much..

i also have to side with nighthiker, the sounds of nature are much preferred to those of an ipod..

[Dschur]

There is always the song stuck in my head as I am climbing out of the canyon... From Santa Claus is coming to town... "Put one foot in front of the other... And soon you will be walking cross the floooooooor... put one foot in front of the other and soon you'll be walking out the door"... Over and over and ....

And to the itunes list what about.... The Proclaimers - I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) ...

Can you name a couple of blockbuster movies from a few years ago where polka was featured?

Hints: One got 5 Academy Awards including best picture, the other was the top grossing movie of its year.

Right now all I can think of is John Candy in "Home Alone".

No. It's subject matter is far more tasteless

[PaleoRob]

Bud the Spud has been in my head recently while hiking. I Am A Paleontologist by TMBG is also in my head. Usually it is random crap, and usually bad crap at that.
