See, my first thought was "One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do..."
That's the one Aimee Mann covered in "Magnolia" soundtrack. I'm not so fond of the movie, but I love love LOVE that soundtrack. I had no idea it was on the X-Files soundtrack. Come to think of it, it's a good song for Mulder.
I think the battle in my head for the ultimate earworm has been won by the Chorus Line song. Damn, I've been in a snarly mood all morning, and that song is just way too perky for me to maintain "CRUSH! KILL!" mode.
Wake up! You grumpy pile of grouse!
Or I'll throw you right on out of the house
I'll grab your toes and toss you out
You'll wake up with a startled shout
And hit the ground and bounce along
And still be hearing me sing this song
Get up! Get up! Get up!
Usually while poking his butt and bouncing him under the covers.
Okay, that's pretty damned funny.
The only thing I'm known to sing on a semi-regular basis to small children is the song Holly Hunter sings in Raising Arizona.
On rare occasions, I'll branch out to Moonshadow, but I generally try to avoid the whole singing bit.
No one in my family is a morning person, so there was never singing in the morning. Mostly mumbling.
Elton John also has a "One."
Actually, I think it might be "The One."

Oooh! And that's a creepy, old-timey "babies die a lot when medicine sucks" song, isn't it? I know there's a lot of death in that song, even though it's a VERY pretty tune.

....and now I'm GLAD nobody sang in my house in the morning!
Plei, weren't you scheduled for something important today? Or did I miss something or lose track of days?
The Aimee Mann "One" is a cover, btw. Originally by Three Dog Night, Written by Nilsson.
Oh, I'm having wicked flashbacks to summer camp, where we sang songs at Morning Flagpole and then again at breakfast. I'm sure at one point I knew the words to all of them, since I was a counselor for a couple of years and led more singalongs than I could possibly count...
Also earwormed with "One is the loneliest number"--wasn't that originally by Harry Nilsson?
edit:
x-post, of course!
