What's your worst RUNNING EARWORM??? 😵

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! 😊

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 😭

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 eyebrow—but I'm already mind-humming it from the title alone 😂

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 favourites—yet it gets stuck there in my head for WEEKS. I wake up humming it. In the interests of sharing the pain:

It's an impossible one to get rid of with that beat!

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 😃😃. Can you remember the one they did in the snow, with snow falling in those great long false eyelashes I wanted that look 😁😁😁

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 😩. The very next day I cancelled my “honeymoon” and went back to work 😤

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' 😂

in reply to roseabi

oh, no! I now have that going round and round and round :(

Any ear worm!😮😫

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. Don’t know but maybe that’s why I generally listen to podcasts these days

Not strictly speaking an ear worm, but... I do get dory’s ‘just keep swimming, just keep swimming’ frequently stuck in my mind!! 🐟
