I'm Fergie Ferg and Me Love You Long Time...

Why do annoying songs always end up being the ones that get stuck in your head all day?

I should know better than to listen to pop anthems manufacturered by evil music execs with the sole intent to have a lasting effect in my brain. I should have gotten up and changed the channel. It would have been quick and easy to fix, but nooooo...I was too lazy to locate the remote. And that three minute mistake has haunted me all day.

Following in the footsteps of songs that ring like a jackhammer on my brain, (i.e., "oh Mickey you're so fine...you're so fine you blow my mind...hey Mickey!, or "my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard," and "I ain't no hollaback girl,") comes Fergie's new song, "London Bridge." When I first saw the video, I thought it was a joke - a video and song combo that's so bad its good (i.e., see the Brooke Hogan video for "About Us" for further clarification...) Of course, London Bridge is being completely overplayed and the piece de resistance is that it has been stuck in my head for over nine hours now.

Not only is the song is stuck in my head, but one particular part of the song is on constant replay. Which brilliant lyric is resonating in my head, you may ask? Oh, that would be this one here:

"I'm Fergie Ferg, and me love you long time!" (oh snap...)

I even found myself humming the damn song throughout the day. I simply cannot turn it off. I have tried listening to my favorite songs in an attempt to perform a sort of musical exorcism, but nothing is helping. Fergie Ferg has taken the reins and I'm merely along for the long and painful ride. So I decided that misery loves company and to share my pain with you, my two faithful readers, in the hopes that you two will suffer along with me (oh snap!)

Here are ten more annoying songs (beyond the ones noted before) that get stuck in your head:

1) Buttons - The Pussycat Dolls. I always get the part where Snoop Dogg raps something about getting on the lead pussycat. Yeah, I know...classy!

2) Reunited - Peaches and Herb. This is a shoutout to you little brother...remember when mom would make us listen to this song and how we'd purposely sing it to get it in the other ones head? Enjoy!

3) Smooth - Santana featuring Rob Thomas. I realize it is practically sacrilegious to rip on Santana, but that song was so overplayed it actually hurts me to hear it to this day!

4) Love Shack - The B-52's. Kind of in the same realm of Santana. Love the B-52's, but if I never heard this song again, I'd be just fine with that.

5) With Arms Wide Open - Creed. Scott Stapp...Do I have to say anything more?

6) What a Fool Believes - The Doobie Brothers. Michael McDonald...do I need to say anything more?

7) Rocket - Def Leppard - C'mon...any song with the lyrics, "Rocket...yeah!" deserves to be on this list.

8) Sussudio - Phil Collins. You just hate me right now don't you?

9) Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go - Wham. Just in time for the reunion tour. Have fun with the jitterbug part stuck in your head for the rest of the evening!

10) Superman - Five for Fighting. Its not easy...to listen...to this song.

Give me your picks for annoying songs. This could be fun!
