The website http://www.urbandictionary.com defines Last Song Syndrome as " To listen to music before going out of the house, and having the last song you hear before leaving stick in your head all through your journey and beyond.Is usually accompanied by subconscious humming. This syndrome is particularly dangerous when the song happens to be the most pathetic, crappy albeit catchy song ever."
In my case this is not limited to leaving the house. Here in Manila, some buses and jeepneys play crappy songs that are basically catchy, but irritating. Once you get off the bus, you catch yourself singing the very song you dislike. One song that bugged me once and almost got me near LSS was Aqua's "Barbie Girl". For the good LSS, I had Namie Amuro's song "Baby Don't Cry" humming in my head. It made feel good and inspired. Thanks for sharing inn advance!

Yes...I do suffer from LSS...this is how I became a Lady Gaga quasi-fan...I would notice everyday on the drive to work in the morning, the radio station would always play Poker Face at the same time...and of course I would always yell out..." I hate this song!!!!!!" After reaching work, I would continue to either sing or hum the song all day...I finally just gave up and realized that maybe I was supposed to be a Lady Gaga fan after all...
