Samples From Hell
This is a game where you come up with a tiny sample of an awful or infectious song that immediately reminds you of the song in it's entirety and simultaneously inflicts a deep sense of shame as you realize that parts of your brain are dedicated to recognizing the song and can never be used for anything else ever again.
Also, it has to be singable, so that you can afflict someone with self-loathing at any time, in any place, with no special equipment.
Shelana and Nana suggested this game. They know someone who sings a tiny bit from the end of that Bryan Adams song from Robin Hood at inopportune moments.
I think that the closing phrase of the theme song to Family Ties, and that little bit in the break of En Vogue's "My Lovin'" are also candidates.
I've attached all three samples, so that you can practice.
Additional submissions are welcome.

get it out!
those damn songs have been stuck in my head all morning.
but what about that famous screeching mariah carey bit (emotions)??

Is that singable?
I think the problem here is that it's impossible to sing that bit unless you're Mariah Carey.
But I'll practice and see if I can get my whistle voice to start working...
I'll attach a clip...
hahaha! who added the mariah

She's very ambitious.
I uploaded some better (louder) clips of Bryan Adams and En Vogue

Push It totally works. (At least it does in Oakland at Ian's place.)
