Songs that get stuck in your head

[anuran]

The only CD at work I can bear to listen to, apart from Kathryn-bloody-Tickell, is one by Folkestra North, the Youth Folk Orchestra. Based at the Sage, the musical director is... Kathryn Tickell! Gah. Anyway. I have had the following stuck in my head for one month now:

Have you seen ought of my bonny lad?
Are you sure he's well-o?
He's gone o'er long with a stick in his hand,
He's gone to row the keel-o.

Yes I have seen your bonny lad,
'Twas on the sea I spied him.
His grave is green but not wi' grass
And you'll never lie beside him.

Have you seen ought of my bonny lad?
And are you sure he's well-o?
He's gone o'er long with a stick in his hand,
He's gone to row the keel-o.

How depressing. Especially when sung by a 15 year old with more artistic talent in her little finger than I have in the entirety of the past 24 years.
