Does anyone else ever mentally hum a tune during swim practices and/or races? My personal favorite, when I am trying to summon energy from my exhausted body, is the 1812 Overture--I try to time it so the cannons start firing towards the latter part of the race.
I'd be interested to hear what goes through other peoples' minds as they swim, musical or otherwise.

I tend to start in my head, Sir Mix Alot's "Baby got back".
You know,
"... so Cosmo say yo fat, I aint down wit dat, cause your legs are long and your curves are kickin, I'm thinkin about ...."

Meg -- well then, I guess it won't work for you. I am sorry. Permanently embedded sounds much worse than stuck!

I have such an eclectic taste that just about anything could permeate my consciousness during workout. Often it will be a song that I've listened to recently but not necessarily. But I definitely do find myself experiencing music during workouts and sometimes even in the meets.

I heard that the best stuck song eraser song is "Guitarzan" by Ray Stevens, because if you know any of it (must be at least 40 years old, I imagine) you probabaly only know these lines: "Guitarzan! He's a guitar man!" Voila! Stuck song erased, eraser song won't stick!

Meg, do you remember these silly songs. I told the witch doctor I was in love with you. Ooh,Ya,Ooh,Ya, ding-ding,O Yeah. Also, on top of old smoky.y.
I don't know if Tom saw this, so I wanted to bring this thread back up to the top.
There is nothing wrong with thinking of songs or conversations during swimming. Only wrong song selections (like Barney... blech! :D )
