and just could not stop listening to it, you had to hear it not once but several times? I find myself doing that with different songs, and it is constantly changing. There are some songs that just make you feel so good and/or happy when you hear them, you just have to hear it over and over again. It's like an addiction or something.

Yes. Thems called crack-tracks.
Down side is that the novelty usually wears off quickly.

My best friend really looks down on this so I don't play him songs more than once.

But I'm addicted to crack-tracks.

Actually I do this when I want to learn the verse lyrics too.

my last crack track was "What's A Telephone Bill" by Bootsy Collins. yours?

Glad you bought this up. Made me prove my own theory wrong.
"Lost in You" That Garth Gains track was probably the worst of my crack tracks. I played it so much(secretly) that I couldn't hear it again.

My old theory was that once you've milked all the listening out of it, it can never regain the crack appeal again. I was wrong. Listening now. As far as "pretty songs" go...it's still way up there.

Of course you would pick a "cool" song to admit to the addiction, when you know that the latest was, and still is, that JT track.

nuh-uh. lol

I've been playing "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" by Elton John straight for the last hour, and each time it's more beautiful. I love this song!

Did I? Do I ever! Everyday.

The last time someone got me addicted was Tom Ze's Vibracao da Carne. I tried to learn the lyrics even though I don't speak Portuguese, but the language is so beautiful and the rhythm so...addictive That guy should be on the pop charts, not that watered-down Will.i.am-produced Sergio Mendes release.

All. The. Time.

It's common for me to have a "song of the day" in my head. I playfully annoy my friends sometimes.

I went to see Depeche Mode with my sister in December and got stuck on "Macro". I had never paid attention to it until I saw the show- I must have played that song on repeat for like, 2 weeks- very loudly. Even SHE got sick of it.

@ "crack tracks"


I last did that with "Love"


On a slightly different note, I once had "Everybody Was Kung-foo Fighting" stuck in my head for over a week.


That was miserable.

I know! Isn't that sick!?!

Mine's right now is Put Your Records On by Corinne Bailey Rae, it's so fluffy and sweet that it's giving me cavities. In fact, I'm going to listen to it now.

Rihanna - SOS was on repeat in my head for what seemed like WEEKS

It's usually the cheesiest songs that will do it

i think the last one that got me like that was Heartbeats but The Knife

some past ones that stick out atm are:

Lucille - Frank Zappa

Absent Minded Friends - Moloko

Wasted Time - Meshell




oh and Laffy Taffy and It's hard for a pimp


J/K people.

and the list of Prince songs that got me like that is endless.....

Olivia Newton-John's Please Mr Please is often stuck in my head, and my neighbor at work does not appreciate it.

At the moment, it's "Lay Your Hands on Me" by the Thompson Twins.

CinisterCee said:

Is that anything like a clap trap?

Currently "Brakhage" by Stereolab

Before that it was "Open Book" by Prince
