The thing that bothers me about assimilation of lyrics without conscious effort is it is inevitable when I start to accidentally sing it, it will be something about oral sex, killing someone just to watch them bleed out, various shades of drug use, suicide, or worst of all, Spanish, which isn't bad in itself when alone (I know enough to pick up the ( Read more... )

While I have never (to my knowledge at least) actually sung it out loud, there have been at least two occasions when I was on an airplane en route from A to B with the song "Don't Use Your Penis For A Brain" stuck in my head.

Currently there are only four outside my work rotations, other than the writing playlists (some of the same songs, different rhythm). The writing ones tend to be temporary for a specific fic and then deleted since they don't work twice.

...okay, the Cut Your Wrists playlist is also used for writing, but its' kind of a specialized sort of fic.

I'm so happy I'm not the only person who puts itunes on repeat1 for hours on end. It drives everyone I live with absolutely nuts, but it's almost the only way I listen to music.
I also sing at work (even though I'm a terrible singer), but it's okay because pretty much everyone else does too. Yesterday (working on Christmas Eve blah) we were at the front desk singing 80's hits along with the radio. People gave all four of us pretty weird looks.

Srsly, I'm weirded out when people don't. I love that song! I WILL LISTEN TO IT FIVE HUNDRED TIMES.

...or if it's Whataya Want From Me by Adam, 1284 plays since 11/24. *disturbed*

Haha I once got home from a drinking binge and decided singing in the shower at the top of my lungs was a good idea. At 2am. My flatmates were not very impressed.

Once while down in the computer lab in the basement of my dorm at UT I got tapped on the shoulder and asked to stop singing, which I hadn't realized I was doing, and it was "Birdhouse in your Soul" and my god I can still sing those lyrics without having to stop and remind myself of them.

Also, a British friend told me about how the Highlander soundtrack has the whole thing where tracks have bits of movie dialogue in between them, and he'd gotten himself so very much in the habit of reciting the dialogue along with the actors at those points that he didn't even notice he was doing it anymore, and it really freaks people out when you suddenly start talking about missing heads on London Transport.
