I just can't get you outta my head.
Context
This line is from the song "Can't Get You Out of My Head" by Kylie Minogue, from the album Fever (2001).
Talk about sticking in your head—Kylie Minogue is a huge star in the UK and her homeland of Australia. This song was actually the most-played song of the 2000s in the UK, just in front of Britney's "Toxic." While Kylie's hits are fewer and farther between in the US, this one went to #7 on the charts. According to Songfacts, Rupert Penry Jones, Kylie's boyfriend at the time, told her he wasn't that into it when she was recording the tune. Shortly thereafter, Kylie got him out of her head. She showed him, right? Here's the video—see if it sticks in your head.

You've definitely heard this song on the radio somewhere, and maybe you caught Kylie performing it on Saturday Night Live. These days, you'll probably hear it on that upbeat dance mix at the gym. Hey, it's a good one to sweat to, especially this version that mixes in New Order's "Blue Monday."
Pretentious Factor
If you were to drop this quote at a dinner party, would you get an in-unison "awww" or would everyone roll their eyes and never invite you back? Here it is, on a scale of 1-10.
Poppy love songs are very rarely pretentious, gang.
