In the Umat, for Section 3, I had Gorillaz' "Feel Good" stuck in my head. I think it made me go faster though.

In Modules I had a really slow song a friend had been singing the day before: "You Raise Me Up" by Josh Groban.

Aghhhhhh

no songs for me but the primary school next door has a tendancy to bang very large drums right on cue every exam, little brats! i know its not their fault but even if you could cope with the sound it is so out of rythm that its drives you mentally insane and the drumming is accompanied by other loud annoying musical instruments, our hall is right next to theirs so it can be painfully painfull
thats all....

Same! Great song for an exam. I dont know all the words to the song, but seeing as the singer has got the strongest Irish accent Ive heard in a song, just copy it and no one knows the difference.

I know I have to have the most random songs in my head:

Dire Straits- Sultans of Swing
Lee Kernaghan- Hat Town
Kane- Rain down on Me (a personal fav.)
Coolio- Gangsta's Paradise
Any song on MoS Sessions Two (particularly Narcotic Thrust)
Bonnie Tyler- Total Eclipse of the Heart.
Michael JAckson- Thriller

My head is a jukebox

For english paper 1 I had Elgar Cello Concerto second movement stuck in my head (the vivace one)... played by du pre. Also think one of the cadenza's in movement 1 or 4. Can't remember which one..

For SoR 1unit, I had thunderstruck in my head. lol...

For maths I had eagle eye cherry's "save tonight" (I love that song!)

For English paper 2 I had that Sandstorm dance song... and also eye of the tiger... thanks to year 10 dorms... grrr... they always get woken up by music (so cool!), though sucks when you want to get 5 minutes extra sleep. :angry:

For Ancient I had "touched"... not sure who the artist is. I love it =) Best song in the world :rolleyes:

For Bio, I had the Matrix song that Rammstien sang. I think it was Du Hast.

For music... I couldn't think of any songs because it was an aural :cool: .. hehe... kinda hard to hum to yourself when a wierd arse contempory song is playing (question 3 for music 1 students)

omg.. its so annoying having a song in ur head when ur doing an exam.. especially when u need to read the question about 50 times to understand what it is saying!.. i was listening to the radio pretty much all day 2day b4 business services, i probably shouldnt have been lol but anyway.. and then in my exam i had The Used - i caught fire.. omg.. i find them really annoying, but then that song is really catchy for some reason.. thankfully, thats the only exam when theres been a song in my head..

Reading all these posts brings a laugh, also because I get songs stuck in my head, mostly Queen (Bohemian Rhapsody and Don't Stop Me Now are good exam-stick-in-your-head type songs). When I told my older brother (HSC 2003) about these posts, he told me he had Homer Simpson saying "Eat the Pudding" over and over stuck in his head during his Ancient History exam (although it not quite a 'song', I thought it was funny and deserved a mention), he said it made the details of greek history quite hard to remember...
