Song stuck in your head while playing!?

Recommended Posts

I usually listen to upbeat stuff on the iPod before I skate.... preferably Tegan & Sara "The Con", sometimes I just sing the song, and sometimes and I ad-lib my own lyrics to the tune of the songs.. this weeks was "Back In Your Head"... so I was singing "I just fell down on my asssss" to the tune of the chorus. I guess you gotta hear/know the melody to get what I'm talking about.

I mostly just referee now but i always have songs stuck in my head. Especially the ones they just play a few seconds of between stoppages. Sometimes i get caught singing out loud and that's sort of embarrasing.

One time during a stoppage they were playing pokerface and i got caught singing it. One of the centres looked at me before a faceoff and was like "are you singing pokerface?" and i was like "yeah, you can do backup vocals if you want." He started singing too and then the other centre joined in. As linesman we're taught to coach players during faceoffs rather than just tossing them, so after the game i got supervised and the super was like "good job coaching them on the faceoff at X:XX of the 2nd period." I was trying to think of when i did that, but couldn't. Then afterward realized he was talking about the time we all shared the tune. It was pretty funny.

That is sole reason they play music during stopages. You guys should have got a winger and started a barbershop quartet.

We have our low-level mens league late on Sunday evenings, and I normally spend my sundays at home with my parents. They like to watch WKRP and Bob Newhart back to back cause there isn't anything on, so I usually head out on to the ice humming the theme from Newhart week after week, I find this pretty sad.

That happens every single game, and I've become conscious of it on the drive over. I try and listen to something a bit more heavy and energetic so when it pops up in my head and keeps me pumped.

Almost every single game I've played in recent memory I'll have about a four to five word string of lyrics pop into my head and usually stay there the entire game.

+1. Drives me crazy sometimes because it will be song I haven't heard for like a week.

I think it was Sportscenter who did a piece on a NHL player who said he plays classical music in his head when he is on the ice. I can't remember who it was though. I personally don't usually have this happen to me, but if I do its always some annoying song that is currently popular. Single Ladies comes to mind.

Haha, that happened to my team all the time this year. One guy would hum that song in the locker room and before we took the ice at least 2-3 people would singing it. Thats an addicting song.

One sunny afternoon after watching Wanyes World the movie.....I played some pick up roller and could not for the life of me get the song "Dreamweaver" out of my head. I don't think I played well that day.

I almost always walk into the rink whistling the theme to Sanford and Son. B)

At open hockey I try to sing the most annoying song possible because our open slot is a semi tight knit group. Last week I went back and forth with "Don't you want me baby" and "Somebody's Watching Me" this past week.

I don't get songs in my head during a game, but in warm ups, all the time.

I spent 10 games with "My friends, Tiger and Pooh" stuck in my head during warm ups.

Yesterday I was doing some work in the house, and I had the radio on. For some (excellent) reason, they recently started playing those Bud Light "Real Men of Genius" commercials again all the time.

Last night, "Can I use your toaster" kept repeating in my head. Oddly enough I played great.
