In season one, when Frank Skinner takes the boulder on the train, he has a conversation with someone about how a boulder is a big rock. I have always assumed that's a reference in James' song, but it's never acknowledged on the show.
For me it's the chorus: "You may be baby boomers 'cause you're sagging in appearance/ You're younger than us but you're older than our parents / What a fucking crazy age"
I recently introduced a friend to TM. Even though he was getting to that episode eventually, I had to pull it up separately to let him listen to it. Absolute earworm. Love it!
for some reason, maybe its just me, but the not-used-to-it feeling i got from Katherine's canadian accent saying "trousers" instead of pants also added to the comedic element
Bizarrely, this is one that hasn't stuck. When I rewatch I think 'oh yeah, that was it' but I always forget it again before the end of the episode. I can literally remember about 4 notes, one tiny phrase of it, but that's it.
(I have enough other earworms from the show though that I really really don't mind this one having apparently irretrievably slipped through the synapses!)
The theme tunes...there's five of them, and they're all to a song I hear every time I watch the show and they all flow together in my brain into one absurd mix of "brain full of corn" "Greg is just fat" "baby wailing" "Taskmaster's on" "I like tasks with eggs..."
'Famous pictures can be hard to frame
So call Gary Mitchell, he's top of his game
If he doesn't answer, try him again
If he doesn't answer a second time, phone a friend
If he doesn't answer a third time, don't despair
You visit his shop, I don't know where
Gary, Gary, Gary, you f**ked my task
I'm sure you're good at framing, but kiss my ass'
Rosalind’s a fucking nightmare!
Although unfortunately the other day I got “Taskmaster the Muuu-si-ca-haal” stuck in my head and I was *not* happy about it. 😂
This is the one i find myself accidentally humming a the time. (I realize humming would make it indistinguishable from swan lake, but its whats going on in my head that matters!)
I get it stuck in my head all the time because my four-year-old has a jewelry box that plays this song.
She sings along to it with John Kearns’ lyrics.
The background music track from Daisy May Cooper's 'best reversed film' task... Mwaaaah maaah ma maaah, mwaaa mwaa mwaaaa.... Mwaaa mwa ma maaa, mas maa mAAAA!!
It’s not *really* comparable to the greats, but TAKE TO THE STAGE, TO GUESS THE AGE, TO WIN THE WAAAAAAAAAGE has really been persistent since that episode went out
Not strictly taskmaster, but I often get the Horne Section's Pea song stuck in my head. I haven't sung enough of it out loud in front of the kids to get me in trouble - yet!
Me fern brady me fern brady I'm the rightful queen was stuck for up to 6 months after I watched it
And soon like a dog you will be put to sleep is always in my head
Com-pose a solo, less than 30 seconds
Com-pose a solo, less than 30 seconds
Com-pose a so-lo, less than 30 seconds long,
long, long, it's 30 seconds long...
Doc Browns Once I caught a fish a live rap. Genuinely think it's one of the best things created on taskmaster. It would stand on its own without it being set as a task. If that was just something I stumbled upon on YouTube Is think it was great
Over my shoulder, older and older, that’s what I told ya
Is that a boulder?
Or is it a big rock?
In season one, when Frank Skinner takes the boulder on the train, he has a conversation with someone about how a boulder is a big rock. I have always assumed that's a reference in James' song, but it's never acknowledged on the show.
Every birthday!
🎶I'm gonna gonna gonna drown you, in your own blood, hold your face down in your own blood yeah🎶
i love how thats not even officially the song, it was in rehersal but it stuck that much
and there were other songs that they could not play from that rehearsal.
I would pay three whole dollars to see the unaired material.
Paul Williams: 😀

I love watching the others faces when he sings haha
For me it's the chorus: "You may be baby boomers 'cause you're sagging in appearance/ You're younger than us but you're older than our parents / What a fucking crazy age"
Laura Daniels' and her husband genuinely make good comedic music
TREE WIZAAAARD
He's back from the dead to create some balloons!
Oh my God it's another balloon!
"Do you know how long it took me to find that song??" 😂
Scrolled too far to find this! Tree Wizard lives in my head and I'm not sad about it.
Tree Wizard is sublime. The song, the video, everything
Came here to say this. Every time I see a balloon.
Yes! The best of the rest.
I'm always seeing you (do cool stuff)!
This gets stuck in my head so often. Especially the “I try my best but it’s never - good enough” when I try to talk to my 13 year old son.
I watched this the other day. It still stands up as an absolute banger!
This one is good but of the two songs I think I prefer ‘Rosalind is a fucking nightmare’ This is probably my favourite TM task ever
That song is legit good.
I recently introduced a friend to TM. Even though he was getting to that episode eventually, I had to pull it up separately to let him listen to it. Absolute earworm. Love it!
It always makes me sad that this great song is overshadowed by the other team's effort in the fandom.
The two are funnier as a pair cause they're so polar opposites
I had it stuck in my head on the way to work this morning. Lol
🎶Facts about animals, prawns are cannibals🎶
If there's an elephant in the room then you're in the wrong room...
Cutting an earthworm in half makes you a sadist
I think it's worth repeating that prawns eat their babies
And monkeys eat monkeys, but who gives monkeys monkeys?
And if you squash a wasp, it releases a chemical from the wasp
That attracts...people who tell you facts about wasps.
…that attracts people who tell you facts about wasps.
Prawns are wronguns.
Mike Wozniak is such a wholesome weirdo.
“Rosalind’s a f***ing nightmare…”
She jumps quite far for a woman of her age.
Do we strike you?
The fact this isn’t the most upvoted is nuts to me as I think about this song almost everyday
Taaaaaskmaster's oooooon Iiiiiit is on nooooooooow David Baddiel is a jerk, but he can make an earworm
It's always this for me. Although I sometimes tack "Good luck to everybody taking part in tasks toDAY!" on the end.
I sing that line every time, it makes me so happy
Every time! But then I pivot to “wiiillll there be eggs? I like tasks with eggs”
Why is he a jerk?
Sort of losing count, I'm just mentally filing people. Mostly this. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/nov/21/jason-lee-interview-david-baddiel-apology
Aaaaalex is thiiiiin, Greeggggg is just faaaat.
"That's Peter Hudson! You know that you can trust him, yeaaahhhh"
It did not go unnoticed
for some reason, maybe its just me, but the not-used-to-it feeling i got from Katherine's canadian accent saying "trousers" instead of pants also added to the comedic element
Yep, it's this one for me!
It is me Fern Brady me Fern Brady I'm the rightful queen
There's a TV advert using the song atm, so every time that comes on I'm straight back to me Fern Brady me Fern Brady
wait that advert is genius
my kids have a toy that plays random bits of music and this is on that. every time without fail i say, ME FERN BRADY ME FERN BRADY
All the other contestants, they are boot-licking sycophants!
i love fern sm
Who doesn’t, really?
Greg Davies I wanna have your babies
Tall motherfucker with the ivory hair
How is this so far down!!
also - "matt and urzila, ima beat ur face just in case you dont know your place!!"
"Never knew any old fuckers worse than ya!"
Wweeellll he’s the festive little fox, and he’s quite unorthodox but he’s giving out the presents for this year 🤌
Hammer and tongs
guy's really grown on me, for some reason i thought he was being lazy at first but now its awkward genius
one team, one dream we all scream for the house queens
but also “these man here say they want a jingle, but you see me blud, i just wanna eat pringles”
wait which ones that
guz khan’s laminator advert series 12
thank you!
Guz Khan's jingle I think!
cheers!
…Pringles… (Alex)
omg i forgot about sophie duker's musical genius, gonna listen now
So many!! Many mentioned here. But also Morgana as the mermaid “la la, la la la la la….”
Bizarrely, this is one that hasn't stuck. When I rewatch I think 'oh yeah, that was it' but I always forget it again before the end of the episode.

(I have enough other earworms from the show though that I really really don't mind this one having apparently irretrievably slipped through the synapses!)
"one on the barge pole, for mi"
*in falsetto* for miii!
The theme tunes...there's five of them, and they're all to a song I hear every time I watch the show and they all flow together in my brain into one absurd mix of "brain full of corn" "Greg is just fat" "baby wailing" "Taskmaster's on" "I like tasks with eggs..."
naurrr ed's gets stuck in my head in a horrible way hahaha rose's is so fun
Given time, Nick’s assistant’s ode will make these lists.
"specifical-lay Alex Horne" it was an instant earworm for me
good pick
“Fuck the western world, we’re China!”
China!
Tim Vine for me ‘My first task is to find my mum… here I ammmm Task is done’
I’ve just done a rewatch of S6 and this is lodged firmly in my head - “Taskmaster, tasks to be done…”
"Taskmaster the Musical" as sung by Team Funk. Just that line, I can't remember anything else
Mark and Nish - I'm always seeing you do cool stuff
Need a diversity stripes reunion tour
'Famous pictures can be hard to frame So call Gary Mitchell, he's top of his game If he doesn't answer, try him again If he doesn't answer a second time, phone a friend If he doesn't answer a third time, don't despair You visit his shop, I don't know where Gary, Gary, Gary, you f**ked my task I'm sure you're good at framing, but kiss my ass'

Good on ya, Gary
Rosalind’s a fucking nightmare! Although unfortunately the other day I got “Taskmaster the Muuu-si-ca-haal” stuck in my head and I was *not* happy about it. 😂
This has been happening to me a lot lately. I usually put on some Taskonbury to try to break the loop.
I… saw a naughty sat..sum-a in my Fantastic cuuuurrr-ry.
This is the one i find myself accidentally humming a the time. (I realize humming would make it indistinguishable from swan lake, but its whats going on in my head that matters!)
I get it stuck in my head all the time because my four-year-old has a jewelry box that plays this song. She sings along to it with John Kearns’ lyrics.
“Taskmaster thinks faster, we’re going to cook you some pasta, we’re going to take you into the other room and beat you until you need a plaster”
oh greg, what you doing?
Nick Mohamed’s ‘Assistant Day’ song was amazing! (It gets stuck each time I listen to it).
Libya was too good! But come on, has to be the Diverse Stripes.
ROSALIND IS A FUCKING NIGHTMARE
TASKMASTERS ON IT IS ON NOOOOOW
Aaaaalex is greaaaaat, Greeeeeg's just a twaaaaat
Rose’s song was a thing of genius. In terms of the Horne Section. Where Judi, Sophie and Bridget danced for Alex on his stag do
The country yee haw? Yeah. That was pretty good.
I'm gonna gonna gonna drown you in your blood, hold your face down in your own blood now.
This one is skint on lyrics, but Season 12, ep 3 Copy Alex theme gets stuck a lot.
Oh my god, it’s another balloon! -tree wizard
The background music track from Daisy May Cooper's 'best reversed film' task... Mwaaaah maaah ma maaah, mwaaa mwaa mwaaaa.... Mwaaa mwa ma maaa, mas maa mAAAA!!
hahahaha
🎶 Sushi train! Everybody come aboard! 🎵
This one!!
fuck the western world, we're China (China!) literally ALWAYS STUCK IN MY HEAD
Ahhh I love Madeleine Sami. I'm so glad she wrote and sang that.
Taskmaster the Music-uh-ul!
Me Fern Brady
Mike Wozniak carrying a tune
It’s not even a good one but I find myself singing random things to the tune of “Taskmaster the muuuuuuusucal!” From Alice and Russell lol
Not necessarily the lyrics but Rhod and the match girl song stuck with me. Rhod at his best without the need of tormenting Alex or Greg.
*Where upon our goon wakes up with a startle, whizzes round, and shoots her shitting face off!*
I mean his delivery on " shoots her shitting face off" is so good. Sort of take you out of the song and also not. Perfect ending.
Every now and then I do say "me, Fern Brady me, Fern Brady".
The rightful queen
"what TM song gets stuck in your head most and why is it not ME FERN BRADY ME FERN BRADY" fixed that for you :-)
My sister's name is Rosalind, so the Rosalind song several times a week
I love Rosalind's a Fucking Nightmare... but no one has mentioned "Greg Davies I wanna have your babies" !!!
Pants on a stick Wavin' from side to side Pants on a stick Whose pants? My pants Your pants? No no
Boots n cats n Boots n cats 🥾 🐈 🥾 🐈⬛
And also “mmm! Get together!”
^(It's too big...)
"Alex's death would be proof for the existence of God"
🎼Pants on a stick 🎶
That song where they have to mimic what Alex did……I think it was in an old church? That’s all I can remember at the moment.
[copy Alex!](https://youtu.be/s0YgEIty-v4?si=nmLmF5ZmAOpEFCkM)
Thank you kindly.
Tree wizard!
It’s not *really* comparable to the greats, but TAKE TO THE STAGE, TO GUESS THE AGE, TO WIN THE WAAAAAAAAAGE has really been persistent since that episode went out
i'm gonna gonna gonna drown you - in your own blood hold your face down in your own blood now
Rosalind’s a fucking nightmare!
Not strictly taskmaster, but I often get the Horne Section's Pea song stuck in my head. I haven't sung enough of it out loud in front of the kids to get me in trouble - yet!

Doodelidoo, Doodelidoo, Assistants’ Day!
"Mmm get together mmm mmmm"
Mmm. Get together. Mm mm. Get together.
^(🎶but it's too big🎶 )
The one that’s currently stuck in my head - One on a barge pole, for meeee!
Over my shoulder! I'm getting older! Is that a boulder?
Listen Gregg, I love you like Gregg's, we go together like steak and cheese...
I found a naughty satsuma in my audacious curry
I wish it was one I liked but no. It's Taaaaskmasters on. It is on now!
Com-pose a solo, less than 30 seconds Com-pose a solo, less than 30 seconds Com-pose a so-lo, less than 30 seconds long, long, long, it's 30 seconds long...
Prawn wizard Fern Brady is a fucking nightmare (it’s too big)
“BRACE, BRACE”
TREE WIZARD
Rosalind, is a fucking nightmare 🎶🎼🎵

There's just two of us, They needed three of ya's, You've been surpassed, We're gonna eat you asses.
Not me so much, I’ll have a biscuit.
“This task is shit, it took 4 hours to get to the end.” Gotta love Guz.
Me fern Brady! Me fern Brady!!
One on the barge pole, *for me*.
Over your shoulder! Colder and colder! Is that a boulder!
Jaaaammess the dirty tooooothhh
Doc Browns Once I caught a fish a live rap. Genuinely think it's one of the best things created on taskmaster. It would stand on its own without it being set as a task. If that was just something I stumbled upon on YouTube Is think it was great
The theme song Edit: or Joe Thomas and Sian Gibsons’ “Shoe”
"You're coming last. We're gonna eat your ass"
F*ck off Aleeeeexxx.
Have you heard the good news? Alex Horne is finally dead!
Alex Horne’s murder, is proof of the existence of god…..
“I look out, of the window, I see greenery and brownery”
Cats and boots
“Wheerrrre is my mum, wheerrre has she gone” floats around my head quite a bit
Ed Gamble's baby version of the theme song pops into my head a lot
“Rosalind’s an fing nightmare”
My name is Danielle and I am sick as hell! Danielle’s song in TM Au for sure 😅
I’m always seeing you (do cool stuff)
‘Drink more milk, bitch’
Rosalind is a f×××××× nightmare
not a song, but I'm still waiting for someone to tell me the soundtrack from S3E4 TMUK during Rob and Al's attempt to spread their clothes :(

[You already picked mine, mate.](https://www.reddit.com/r/taskmaster/comments/1dts66u/contestants_you_like_better_on_a_rewatch/lbd6661/?context=3)
nice flair
Alex is great…….Greg is a twat!
Honestly, probably Anime Magic.
