What is an old song that is always stuck in your head?

Don't know why, but I just can't seem to ever get this song out of my mind. Every once in a while, the song would just pop in my head and I find myself whistling or singing it.

A bunch of Mills Brothers tunes. My grandmother loves them, and hooked me on them.

They always seem to surface at odd times.

This was my grandfather's favorite.

That is a good one. I don't have the MP3 of it, and don't hear it often as a result.

I was listened to Dean Martin's version of You Always Hurt the One You Love last week, and it just didn't measure up to the Mills Bros charm.

I'm in a Big Band phase at the moment. Gene Krupa's Isn't That Just Like Love? playing atm.

I can't find the version on youtube. Here's Glenn Miller's version, but Krupa's features a woman, and it's much better.

I picked up several Mills Brothers albums on vinyl a few years back. I remember a Mills Brothers album that had a blurry picture of a booze cart with crystal decanters, actually one of my favorite all time album covers of all time, I wonder if that was your album?

It was.

It is a classy cover, for sure.

Good memory. It does have Yellow Bird too.

Yes, that cover says it all to me.

Never heard the song before. Pretty catchy tune. I can see how it sticks with you.

Few of the Mills Bros tunes aren't catchy. Watch out, you'll be bopping down the lane in no time.

I don't know about always, but I was talking to my optician yesterday about the Cirque Beatles show, and afterward I couldn't get this song out of my head:

I often have In My Life by the Beatles in my head. I guess it could be worse.

I usually have tunes I make up coursing through my brain. I'm always working on a melody it seems. It's sort of a mental game for me.

Mr. Telephone Man by New Edition often seeps into my brain.

Too bad that Bobby Brown turned out the way that he did and led Whitney Houston down the path that she took.

I have the same one you do. My uncles used to sing it all the time when I was a kid. Dreadful song.

I have the opposite. If ever I have a song stuck in my head, I can just imagine a song by Bobby Timmons, called This Here, and the song goes away.
