Sharing is caring - what is the worst music you've ever had stuck in your head whilst on a run?

Lordi just gave me the idea for this on Strava - so it's his fault! ๐Ÿ˜Š

I was complaining on Strava about getting my AB grades flute music stuck in my head on runs. I actually had the same Gilbert & Sullivan tune with me all the way through the Beachy Head Marathon ๐Ÿ˜ญ

But I have come to embrace this one:

I'm not going to press play because I'm at work with my suite door open and would get a raised eyebrowโ€”but I'm already mind-humming it from the title alone ๐Ÿ˜‚

I've run down a lot of hills with that tune in my head :D

M. I. A's Bad Girls. Don't know why, it's a cracking sunny day running song but hardly one of my all time favouritesโ€”yet it gets stuck there in my head for WEEKS. I wake up humming it. In the interests of sharing the pain:

Sorry Abi!

My earworms are never tracks I even like! My latest pain is Boney M's Sunny. Hate it!

Just heading out on my long run and I wish I hadn't posted that Boney M link...It's playing already in my head! Damn it! Need to try to switch it for something I actually like!

I like em! What style ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ. Can you remember the one they did in the snow, with snow falling in those great long false eyelashes I wanted that look ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

I invested heavily into semi-permanent eyelashes for my wedding day. A few days afterwards I was AGAIN cooking a hot dinner for my new husband , when I opened the oven door and the hot blast melted my swanky fab lashes. They looked like mangled spiders ๐Ÿ˜ฉ. The very next day I cancelled my โ€œhoneymoonโ€ and went back to work ๐Ÿ˜ค

Early on in my run yesterday morning a very drunk man emerged from a house, clocked me and my running backpack, and started singing 'Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag' ๐Ÿ˜‚

Any ear worm!๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ซ

They are usually my favourites which is a pain as I then go off them for a while. Once I get one it stays with me for days/weeks and wakes me up in the night. Donโ€™t know but maybe thatโ€™s why I generally listen to podcasts these days
