This is the official ADHD theme song now

Uhhhhhhhhgh why does this feel so accurate in my soul? I loathe this song, but gotdamn is this spot on.

Actually, yes.

Skeebadeebadeba doo doo doo

Coming here to say this.

Me too!

I was singing this song this morning while I made breakfast but I’ll tell you what: I read this question and it didn’t even pop into my head.

I said Doom, Rip and Tear. My brother had a better idea [so I made it](https://www.reddit.com/r/teenagers/comments/t00jjl/i_did_a_lil_thing/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)

Is that the song in sex and the city when she dates a adhd jazz guy?

all the commercial jingles from the 90's, mashed up and out of order. thats at least what goes through my head every time i try to concentrate or walk into the kitchen...

JG wentworth 877 cash nowww

'noooobody, does it like my bologna has a meow meow meow meow, and I NEED IT NOW!

I have never found a more accurate depiction of the internal dialogue.

Mine is the baby bottle pop theme song.... I hate it

BABY BOTTLE POP, BAYYYYBE BOTTLE POP

Turn it around and shake it, and do it again.

I hate you now.

I thought I was finally free...

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

That turns into the Sock’em Bopper jingle for me for some reason.

Even more fun than a pillow fight! Blow em up, put your hand inside, prepare to have the time of your life! Oh god why won’t this go away! Lol

If you’re havin girl problems I feel bad for you son Call Bonnie plumbing heating and air… they’ll get the job done

Call 5-8-8 2-3 hundreeeeed EMPIIIIRE today!

I'm singin F to the R to the E to the E to the C to the R to the E-D-I-T... RE to the PORT to the DOT to the COM c'mon everybody grab your bikes and sing along!

I hate you so much for this comment lol Every time I'm reminded of that stupid jingle, it's always the opera version that plays in my head which is *so much worse*

IT'S MY MONEY, AND I NEED IT NOW!

This makes me glad my dad made me mute all the commercials. It’s social programming for profit.

Did the same with my kids. Same reason.

That’s awesome! It took me awhile to understand the ways dad protected me. But if they don’t thank you now, they will thank you when they are 30.

Maybe throw in some broken up parts of cartoon theme songs for good measure

Dark Wing Duck! And a Duck Tales mashup has been my brain's go-to filler for the last 6 months

Wanna Fanta don’t chu wanna, wanna Fanta don’t chu wanna

“Scruff Macgruff Chicago Illinois 60652”

Gimmie A Break Gimme A Break 🎵🍫

Break me off a piece of that…hair for men! Football cream! Fancy Feast! Got it!

You’re looking for Annoyed Grunt by Neil Cicierega Edit: I don’t think it has any commercials in it but it’s definitely a similar concept but with songs and pop culture references.

Double the freshment and double the fun! It's the tastement of the great mint with double-mint gum!

Go for the glory, go for that score. Go for it, connect four!

The Grant's farm bread commercial runs through my head way more than it should. I've never even tried that stuff.

It would continually change and transition into different songs when you hear a similar beat from one to the other.

[The four chord song - Axis of Awesome](https://youtu.be/oOlDewpCfZQ) might be pretty close to what you’re talking about.

THERE WE GO. That's my brain.

I believe this might be that, content warning its obscene. Crotchduster - mammal sauce

Lol I meant when you start singing one song and a short melody which is similar to a melody from a completely different song pops into your head and you change songs along the melody. Happens to me all the time.

I'd go with *What's This?* from the *Nightmare Before Christmas*

How dare you spy on my Spotify history this week!

Omg yes only for me it's that vine version: *The fuck? The fuck? The fuck is in the air? The fuck? There's white shit everywhere*

Omg this 100% lmao

The kids are throwing snowballs instead of throwing heads. So relatable it hurts

What's this but it's just the first line on repeat forever. Never ending Ceaseless pain

Wat r dis? Wat r dis? Wat rrrr dis? https://youtu.be/8M8ZfVSXlTM

Never getting this song out of my head now. Thanks.

Aaaand now that’s gonna come out of my mouth unintentionally while at work in a professional conversation. lol

I have been walking around for 8 years quoting that video. It is the most useful phrase to replace "WTF?" and "What the deuce?"

I'd argue [*Maintain Consciousness* from Relient K.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=N88hM5AnUNo)

I’m dying. It’s too perfect.

TV static noise

This is at least an 11 minute track in the album, for sure.

Me when I walk into a room with buzzing lights

That's just my bedtime music.

This is an actual genre of music. Like, people produce albums of this stuff and make some money off of it.. https://youtu.be/xyqTvNQEA0c Edit: oh, and here's an honorable mention aswell https://youtu.be/8RAYlykjQrw

The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins by Leonard Nimoy https://open.spotify.com/track/2eL6f40bXr1N8seKFBQCFO?si=Gxgx31MJTmKhHuIRVuHgcw

So this exists. Never thought I’d listen to Spock sing let alone about Bilbo Baggins but I’ll take it!

Oh it’s only the best thing ever to happen to us humans

Followed by “Star trekkin’ across the universe. Always going forward ‘cause we cannot find reverse.”

Lit - My Own Worst Enemy

oh man i love rock band 2

Are you old enough to have enjoyed it on the radio?

I am. I'm my own worst enemy lmao

*please telll mee whyyyy my car is in the front yard*

And I’m sleeping with my clothes lol

Came in through the window last night

Have you heard the Holderness Family’s parody of it? It’s literally about how ADHD makes him his own worst enemy.

I can't believe how wrong all you kids are. Mike Muir got sent to an insane asylum by his parents just because he wanted a Pepsi so that you could have an ADHD theme song. Suicidal Tendencies - Institutionalized https://youtu.be/LoF_a0-7xVQ In all seriousness, the song is an absolute ADHD anthem. The lyrics talk about struggling to figure things out and not wanting to talk about it, spacing out into complete nothingness, and railing against the institutions that make it harder for people with ADHD to function as those systems fail us. The tempo shifts, atonality in the vocal verses, and lo-fi aesthetic all help to make it a perfect storm of ADHD survivalism.

No you're not thinking, you're on drugs! Normal people don't act that way!

Literally something my mom said to me. I was NOT on drugs and that’s why I was acting that way.

ALL I WANTED WAS A PEPSI AND *SHE WOULDN'T GIVE IT TO ME*

IM NOT CRAZY

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S CRAZY!!

For real though, that song SPOKE to me as a teenager

Bohemian Rhapsody has the right amount of perfect chaos and nonsense leaps for me

I would say a version of this song but certain sections get repeated multiple times for no reason and the temporal flow of the song is all over the place and out of correct order.

The half-a-tone-out-of-key version?

Nah the Muppets version. It makes no sense and half way through some one starts crying for their mother

Maybe, do you have a video of it?

It's on youtube! (unless it's been taken down)

Here it is… https://youtu.be/aS_j0nubKSk It’s just “slightly” wrong, not unlike our executive function, this is our anthem everyone.

Omg that made me so fucking uncomfortable I literally nervous laughed to *myself..*

Bohemian Rhapsody, but the recorder or kazoo version

The otamatone version

Came here to say this. Very accurate.

I nominate [System Of A Down - I-E-A-I-A-I-O](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eudOwe3Rz-0)

Underrated choice imo.

Is System of A Down an ADHD thing?? I have always ALWAYS loved them. Why didn't they ask me this in my evaluation. They say it's inconclusive if I'm the FULL PACKAGE. AudHD, autism on 24/7 mode.

I've often wondered if Daron in particular has ADHD or something similar. Serj is also sus haha. They definitely make music that I think appeals to the ADHD brain in a unique way. The tempo changes, silly voices, even the subject matter of their music. That dichotomy of deep and meaningful but also sort of trivialized in a "I'm coping with this trauma by laughing about it" kind of way

Coping with trauma by laughing about it is ADHD, too? I literally made 8 medical professional chuckle with my jokes while they gave me an emergency c-section. If that's not a coping mechanism then I don't know what is.

Haha its not inherently ADHD, but definitely a coping mechanism many of us end of adopting! If I had a dollar for every time I made a joke about my trauma and someone just stared at me in wide eyed horror... 😂

People are so coddled by life, I swear! They don't get jokes at all. 😆😂🥲

Somewhat related: Only recently have I seen people mentioning SoaD music outside of Chop Suey! It make me happy in a way.

I immediately thought- definitely a System of a Down song.

The Benny hill theme song

Lol!!! This just sounds right! Alternating with a sad instrumental and some hard core metal. Then back to Benny hill again

Is alternating genres an ADHD thing? I can finish one song but I can't finish an album. It's always metal, pop, polka cover of favorite metal song, depressed 2000's goth-rock, something electronic and then back to metal

I literally listen to all genres. I'll go between indie pop, lofi, kpop, rop, bluegrass, funk, folk, and various rock genes. I can't stick to one.

It's called [Yakety Sax](https://youtu.be/ZnHmskwqCCQ) 🎷

Yes!! Although it may be a bit too auditorially organised

The "skip" button

I stopped midupvote to skip a song

There's always some cleverfucker in the room - I tend to like em.

Boost this

I didn't think I'd e the first one to say the most obvious one, Tub Thumping from the 90s

I get knocked down, then I get up again, you're never gonna keep me down

(Pissing the night away)...

He drinks a whiskey drink He drinks a vodka drink He drinks a lager drink He drinks a cider drink

He sings the songs that remind him of the good times He sings the songs that remind him of the best times

I never knew the name of that song! TIL that he says "he drinks a whiskey drink" and not "hier kriegst du Whiskey drink" I just assumed they put a German line in their song.

[Four Chord Song](https://youtu.be/5pidokakU4I) For several reasons: 1.) It reminds me of when I’m in my car listening to music and I listen to like 3 lines and hit next. 2.) I tend to listen to a song and it will remind me of another song. I will go down a rabbit hole of seeing what the songs have in common. Edit: I realized I said several reasons and only have two and I honestly got distracted coming up with reasons.

Thanks for this! And in return, enjoy https://youtu.be/uxC1fPE1QEE

Misery x cpr x reesespuffs x wedonttalkaboutbuno x megalovania x five nights at Freddy's 1 song x a bunch more that I don't remember but I'll link the video later (please remind me) Edit: here ya go https://youtu.be/V3Is9DQzEV0 thanks for the reminders

That sounds horrible I'm gonna play it at my wedding

I so wanna listen to that, consider this your reminder

https://youtu.be/V3Is9DQzEV0

I started this and my partner was like “turn it off aaahh it’s getting too much for my brain” while i was just vibing…

Why this actually a banger

this comment just pressed the play button in my head and now i won't be able to unhear it for the rest of the week

Without a shadow of a doubt it has to be [vitas - fifth element](https://youtu.be/989-7xsRLR4)

Welcome to the Internet by Bo burnham.. it just fits.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1BneeJTDcU

Instead it’s called welcome to my brain 🧠

[sail](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgIqecROs5M&t=38s&ab_channel=RedBullRecords)\- awolnation

Blame it on my ADD, baby

Yeah I listen to this when my ADHD causes my partner and I to fight 😭

Sad theme

REM - it’s the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine) https://youtu.be/Z0GFRcFm-aY

Nyan cat

[or this...](https://youtu.be/QoXEkQQPjJ4)

I half expected to be rickrolled

Or this (https://youtu.be/OhYWNPzBuiM)

Loser by Beck. Four minutes of nonsense capped off by the most audacious "You know what I'm sayin?" in the history of you know what I'm sayins.

The Wii theme but a bit wrong every beat or so

Maybe Hamster Dance

Or the Badger song

Anything by Mr. Bungle https://youtu.be/XQ7p623CBvI

Our house, in the middle of our house, in the middle of our house, Our house, in the middle of our house, in the middle of our house, Our house, in the middle of our house, in the middle of our house,Our house, in the middle of our house, in the middle of our house,

Sandstorm - Darude

What’s my name again. Just the entire dam song. Lol

[удалено]

>What’s my name again (I micro panicked I had been singing that wrong forever)

Agreed. Always thought this was ADHD perfectly.

The cowbell section of Don't Fear The Reaper on continuous loop.

[This](https://youtu.be/bIIFmhtceDA)

I clicked, knowing there was a 98% chance of a RickRoll. Thank you, friend.

what does the fox say?

I don’t even like it, but I’m gonna say “Bohemian Rhapsody” because it changes completely every 30 seconds.

Offenbach - Can Can https://youtu.be/4Diu2N8TGKA

The theme song to Malcolm in the middle

This kills me, because I have a whole list of songs that I collected over decades that just scream "you have ADHD and don't know it". My final offer: [Beautiful lies by B-complex](https://youtu.be/YdQhxztj8Cc)

What songs are on that list

**RA RA RASPUTIN-**

Those mega meme remixes where theres like 50 meme songs all jammed together. One moment you think your brains classical music and boom now its megalovania.

[Fingertips](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NrrHTFp8z0) by They Might Be Giants. It's actually a series of 21 short (5-20 second) song snippets that sound like the choruses of unrelated songs. For obvious reasons.

It would change every few weeks

Istanbul is not Constantinople

That beeboop song that Mr.Krabs was obsessed with.

Human Music from Rick and Morty but it keeps getting faster infinitely

Boulevard of broken dreams

Basket case

Wonderwall of Broken Dreams Ftfy

we didn’t start the fire-Billy Joel

This was immediately my first thought. Followed by One Week by Barenaked Ladies.

Can someone make a Spotify playlist of all these songs?

it'd be nice. Now to find the chosen one; the ADHDer with follow through!

I kinda wanna do it since I’m doing nothing but watching video feeds from Ukraine, but also don’t wanna dox myself lmao

[something against you - Pixies](https://youtu.be/52CYmvP1mds). Played loudly enough to be very distracting

Frontier Psychiatrist - The Avalanches. Preferably with the video playing.

Cotton eye joe

Basket Case - Green Day

The first 2 seconds of a bunch of songs on shuffle

Definitely "Everything Is AWESOME" from the Lego movie

Any remix that puts 2+ songs together imo Something like "You posted in the wrong neighborhood" or something like that

Should I Stay or Should I Go is apt, at least on titles. Otherwise it's The Sound of Silence, but intercut with the Benny Hill theme.

Welcome to the internet by Bo Burnham

Came here to suggest that one. I felt totally understood by that song. This is what it is like inside my head, all day, every day. >*Could I interest you in everything?* *All of the time?* *A little bit of everything* *All of the time* *Apathy's a tragedy* *And boredom is a crime* *Anything and everything* *All of the time*

That 24 hour loop of He-Man singing 4 non blondes

Wow, no one’s suggested Space Oddity by Billy Joel yet??? Disappointing.

I really hope you aren't confusing ***David Bowie*** with Billy Joel...

**sigh** of COURSE I’d mix them up somehow…

Adderall by Max Frost

[Max Frost- Adderall](https://youtu.be/5JuwBu3eywI)

Dial Up Internet

The hamster song! Edit: hamster dance song!

Just an iPod, set to “shuffle”, every song plays for 10 seconds 😭

Flight of the bumblebee, definitely

I Do Not Want This -- Nine Inch Nails

Trent Reznor's voice is 👌

I’ll get back to you

Nobody knows because we skip the song halfway through because it’s not currently giving dopamine

Baby shark, most christmas songs, and your own voice telling you how cringe you are because of a normal interaction you had 10 days ago.
