Now can’t get it out of your head? Here are some neat* suggestions short of decapitation.
If you need help finding your replacement song, try one of these.
*By “neat,” I mean I could have come up with these if you’d just given me a second.

I-I-I wanna be lifeguard! (helphelphelphelp!) I-I-I wanna guard your LIFE. I-I-I wanna be a lifeguard (lifeguard!) Lifeguard! (lifeguard!) Sand between my toes! (Lifeguard!) White stuff on my nose . . .
(wanna listen to it? but of course you do, if you haven’t already. http://fineoldfamly.blogspot.com/2012/08/helphelphelphelp.html)
My husband imported this song — by the immortal band Blotto — into my iTunes about two weeks ago, for a family road trip. The master plan, I believe, is to export it with our daughter, who goes back to college on Tuesday, and thus infect the entire state of Texas.
I kind of love the YouTube video I found; it looks just like something guys I knew in high school might have made.
I am not EVEN listening to Sister Golden Hair. No, no, indeed.

Sally:
That was truly terrible! Thanks!
And yes, the music vid has a 1983 MTV look to it, the good ole days before computers and soy cheese, when men wore mullets, and worse — highwater “slacks.”

Oh, yes. I think I must have known *all* those guys. Funnily enough, none of them were lifeguards. (I think they were all in jazz band).
I could hit you with a groovy song about the accusative and dative cases in German, too. Can’t get that one out of my head. “Accusative . . . because I’m goin’ somewhere . . . Dative . . . because I’m already there (already already . . . already already . . . “). Unless it’s the dative because I’m goin’ somewhere, and the accusative because I’m already there. The song has been stuck in my head for about six weeks, but it hasn’t helped my German grammar one bit.

It’s not supposed to help your grammar. It’s supposed to motivate you to invade Poland. Which is the only way to get the song out of your head.

Yeah . . . though I don’t know. It starts to seem like a song *about* invading Poland . . .
