"Seventy-Six Trombones" is one of the catchiest songs ever. It never leaves your head. Especially when you want it to.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!...perhaps its not catchy but it is certainly persistant...

[Snaps]

I think I'm going to have to second 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang;' once I hear it, it takes days to stop humming it.

[Thenardier]

Posted: 6/29/05 at 11:13pm

Wait, isn't it catchiest?

[broadway betty]

Posted: 6/29/05 at 11:15pm

I second "you can't stop the beat", gotta love it!

I cannot get Say It Somehow out of my head. From Piazza.

"Everyone's a Little Bit Racist"--Avenue Q...yeah it's not the best song to be singing when you're walking down the aisle at the grocery store...but I always hum it anyways.

[CapnHook]

I never heard or saw Chitty until today, when I watched my DVD which I owned for a year but never opened.

"Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" got stuck in my head and has been in there all day - and I don't know the damned lyrics!

I think the Sherman brothers are the song-writing teams best known for stuck-in-your-head showtunes.

"Supercalifragulisticexpealidious" or however its spelled, and "Chitty."

I still have 'Merrily We Roll Along (1980)/ Rich and Happy' stuck in my head. Also 'Pandemonium' and 'I Speak Six Languages' is quite catchy as well. Avenue Q has a catchy score.

As far as my personal experience, "Master of the House" is unbelievably catchy. I was singing that song for weeks after the show and I still don't even know the words...but the tune...whoa. That sticks.

Also, on behalf of my friend, I second "Shakalaka Baby." She was singing it for months and we never even saw the show. Just walked past the theatre where they blared it during the day.

Ugh. I almost always have a showtune stuck in my head.

"Lonely Goatherd" from 'The Sound of Music' is one of those that stays for days...
"Wrong Note Rag" from 'Wonderful Town'... always. Ugh.
Most of 'Avenue Q' is pretty catchy.
"Popular" is one of those that you can listen to once, and three hours later you're banging your head against the wall, trying to get the "Laaa laa, laaa laaa"s out. Or is that just me?

There's gotta be more...

I was originally thinking "Popular" from Wicked until I saw that someone had said "Seventy-Six Trombones" and it imediately started running through my head. That song stays in my head for days and days and days. I constantly find myself singing the words out loud, despite the fact that I don't know what comes after the coronet part.

I third 'You Can't Stop The Beat.'

I would hum that thing for days after hearing it. It was much more fun when I finally learned the words. Damn, I love that show.




OOO. 'Shakalakakakalakalkaalkalka Baby' sticks around, unfortunately, really easily too. Oh, Miss Tamyra Gray. Lordy.

I'm going to add "La Vie Boheme" to the list.

[nztheatreluva]

Posted: 6/30/05 at 1:13am

You Can't Stop The Beat and What Is This Feeling? were the first two I thought of, but I agree with Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
