The song in my head...
 

Anyone for Tennis (Savage Seven Theme) - Cream

I have had this in my head all day, and almost was going to quote it in the quote-a-thon. I actually have a tendency to want to quote the songs that run through my mind... So I'm giving myself a new outlet...

What's the song in your head?

Cole Porter - You Do Something to Me

AMERICAN IDIOT - Green Day. It's been stuck there for 2 days!

That 'Tripletts of Belleville' song. Total earworm!

"I wanna get next to you"







*HA! GC the stalking continues

Honey - Moby

Thanks to the stupid JC Penneys commercial.....

99 Red Balloons :rolleyes:

I have had the damn hamster dance song stuck in my head for days now. I have no idea where it came from. I'm trying to replace it but nothing is sticking. I can feel the last grasp of sanity slipping away.

I'm in a retro mood....

Walk on By ~ Dionne Warwick

"I just can't get over losing you
And so if I seem broken and blue
Walk on by, walk on by

Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by
and walk on by
and walk by (don't stop)"

Yesterday, after I read the "Broken Heart" thread, I had two songs stuck in my head...

Don't Go Breaking My Heart ~ Elton John and KiKi Dee (It took me a few minutes to figure out who sang that)

How Can You Mend a Broken Heart? ~ BeeGees

I've had the Super Mario Brothers theme stuck in my head for some days now. Not the regular version, oh no.... the frickin Boston Pops symphonic version! (Which, incidentally, is awesome)

I've had Louis and Ella singing "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm" by Irving Berlin stuck in my head for the last three days. Which incidentally coincides with the time I bought their "Best of" album, imagine!

"This Guy's In Love With You" ~ Herb Alpert

I've been waiting for some guy to sing this song to me ever since I was a little girl. I'm still waiting....so I'll sing it to myself. :)

"Every time I close my eyes..................."

Rebellion (Lies) by The Arcade Fire.

If this band were to transfigure itself into a man, he would be Victorian, rakish, tender, and naughty. He'd probably have a villains mustache, a red velvet couch, a pet raven he called "Lenore", and I would be sick with love for him, and dying of lust. I'd probably be his maid, and he'd completely ignore me all the time, which would drive me wild and make me strangely happy.

"Atmosphere", Joy Division. That song is so haunting. I need more Joy Division.

"We Both Reached for the Gun" Chicago soundtrack.

I listend to the soundtrack a few times at work yesterday. Not such a great song to start singing in front of the kids. I had to stop myself multiple times. I just love the melody, not necessarily the lyrics. Except for when Renee Zellweger says "Are you kidding?"

Well, I didn't have anything stuck in my head when I first opened this thread.

No such luck now.

walk on by(do do do do)...walk on by...

Cool, now I have "Waiting for the Worms" from The Wall in my head :D

Ooooh you cannot reach me now
Ooooh no matter how you try
Goodbye cruel world it's over
Walk on by

Ok I see this, been reading the Johnny the Homicidal Maniac book you gave me last year, and then there's the matter of your name, and general mansion fandom - You sir, are a Goth in denial.
:p

kidnap the sandy claws (la la la la laaa)

Yeah, if only I were ACTUALLY depressed and moody instead of enjoying other people's depression and moodiness.

Like that matters - all you need is a little more black in your wardrobe ;)

And I just gave our duplicate Joy Division CD to Fej.......

But, I have them all on vinyl. All except the ones that released 10 years after Ian's death.

I should suggest Interpol. They make me happy in the same way JD did.

I have that CD now on my iPod, so if anyone wants to borrow it...

I've got a Jackson 5 mix playing in my head....

Kat's cheer squad's competition routine is to a mix of Jackson 5 songs...all pre-molestor days....but still something about little kids dancing to Michael Jackson music disturbs me a little! :rolleyes:

I have a lot of Lou Reed floating around in there, however, I am stuck on Iron & Wine's Naked as We Came...

Actually, I think I have the CD player in my mind set to random. Kind of have a lot of songs in my head today. Earlier it was Elliot Smith. I think all this rain has me kind of moody.

I've got the theme to Jurassic Park stuck in my head...

:mad: Damn you.

Oh I had a little chickie and he wouldn't lay and egg, so I poured hot water up and down his leg. Oh the little chickie cried out and the little chickie begged, and the gosh darned chickie laid a hard boikled egg.


I think the Ice Cream Man was by earlier.

Hamster Dance is gone. "It Had Better be Tonight" has replaced it. Much swankier.

"(I don't stand) a ghost of a chance with you" - Thelonious Monk

Just the melody... None of that word stuff for me tonight... no siree!

De deum De dum, Pink Elephants on Parade.......

This is a dangerous thread. Now I have Pink Elephants duking it out with Dancing Hamsters while Lock Stock and Barrel sing laaa la la lalala and Richard Gere manipulates a Renee Zellweger dummy to the tune of Belleville Rendezvous.

Before I opened this thread, however, it was "Every time We Say Goodbye," mostly because that song figured in a play I saw Friday night. (The play is called Sylvia, a comedy about a married couple and their dog. Sarah Jessica Parker played the dog in the original production. I saw a really excellent cast here in Orlando.)

Here's a tune that tends to stay with me - the theme to Casino Royale.

Well, thanks to the poster above and Sleepyjeff, I've got the theme song to Gilligan's Island going around my tiny little mind.:rolleyes:

Today, I have randomness coming from a CD mix I made a long time ago. They're all songs about loss, regaining, and figuring things out in general. But also, and should I say mostly, about love. But it's like I have the whole CD in my head.

Most noticeably, I have Pete Yorn's "For Nancy ('Cos it Already Is)"



That song just makes me want to sing the lyrics as loudly as possible just about everytime I hear it. It's like I hurt for the situation he's in.

And -- Elliot Smith's "Somebody That I Used to Know" -- Not because I"m feeling any particular way, but because it's just another powerful song that makes me think I'm feeling a particular way.


A mark of a good song, to me, is one that can completely erase what I'm feeling now, and replace it with the feeling behind the song.

Too Darn Hot. Although frankly it's freezing.

A.C. Newman songs. They're in my head.

The sun is a mass of incandescent gas
A giant nuclear furnace.
Where hydrogen is buit into heium
At a temperature of millions of degrees

"Under the Sea"

If you're referring to the awesome cover version of the song (as opposed to the original from 1959), then you're going to dig the next MousePod.

...to say more would be telling.

Might it have anything to do with "Here Come the ABCs"?

BINGO!

But when they told me 'bout their side of the bargain,
that's when I knew I could not refuse.
And I won't get any older, now the angels wanna wear my red shoes.

I'm singing a wierd mesh of the Fruma Sara song from "Fiddler on the Roof" mixed with with Queen's Bohemian Rhaposdy.

Fruma Sara! Fruma Sara! Very very frightening indeed. Gallileo gallileo...

Something like that?

Interesting.

:)

Exactly! I have no control over my brain sometimes...well, most of the time.

Various songs from The Postal Service's album. They all keep blending together in the mush that is my mind.

I'm doin the same with Snow Patrol

"This love has taken it's toll on me. She said goodbye too many times befoooore..."

Damn you, Maroon 5!!!

Yesterday my husband started singing "unskinny bop" at me. ARG! That only left this morning when OUT OF NOWHERE my brain sings "come on get happy!"

Now I have in my head this nonsense song my husband sings about my cat, Boris. "8 5 10 dogcat, 8 5 10 dogcat, 8 5 10 dogcatboris." It even has hand motions.

"If I was a rich girl na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na. See, I'd have all the money in the world if I was a wealthy girl..."

GO Gwen! :)

Are you carrying on with my "Fiddler Tradition" today?:evil:

Great!

Now I'm singing "TRADITION TRADITION TRA-DI-TION" :mad: :mad:

So many good songs.

I do this with Muse.

However, today.. it's Dashboard Confessionals...

I'm cleansing my brain with some bright jazz right now..

I don't know why, but for some reason today it's Jenny (867-5309)

You know, I was Motel Kamzoil the Tailor in a production of FotR.
:)

Bowl of Oranges, by Bright Eyes

No no no! It's "The Tailor Motel Kamzoil".

And Day 2 of my own production of "Fiddler" starts. I did makeup for the production we ded. Lots of spirit gum and hair.

You must have heard wrong, NA, There's no tailor.
You mean the butcher, NA, By the name of Lazer-Wolfe

Noooo!
I mean a tailor, mousepod
My great-grandchild
My little Tzietl who you named for me
Motel's bride was meant to be!


:D Or something like that....

I'm DYING here!

Part of the gag for my character was that in real life, I can't grow a beard. (Nothing connects on my face, I look like a deranged otter.) Anyway, so one of the addition reasons why Tevye didn't like my Motel (and our Perchik, too) was that I was without a full beard, just a partial crappy goatee... :D

Damn Dr. Pepper commercial...

Mahna mahna
Do doo be-do-do

Well, I had the bunny hop in my head (gee, thanks HTH).

Then when I opened this thread, it was Video Killed the Radio Star (I'm not sure where that one came from, but the TV's on in the other room, so I'm guessing that that's being used on some commercial these days?).

But now . . .

We need its light
We need its heat
We need its energy
Without the sun
Without a doubt
There'd be no you and me

Best live. :D

UGH!!!

We heard "Livin La Vida Loca" in all of it's glory in a restaurant yesterday. It has been making regular appearances in my brain ever since. Where is Dr. Kevorkian when I need him. This isn't pleasant.

I'm singing Fiona Apple's "Carrion" to myself. I even put it in my sig.

I am now singing Glen Campbell's "Gentle on My Mind" thanks to Pharmacy hold music. :rolleyes:

I've got "Livin' La Vida Loca" stuck in my head - in Japanese...

If you want to subject yourself to such pain, just IM me :-)

Oh, I don't need to do that now, TYVM.

UGH

:mad:

"Golly jeepers where'd you get those peepers? Peepshow creepshow where'd you get those eyes..."

Believe...in Holiday Magic music. Yes, I know Christmas was months ago:rolleyes:

"Oh bla di, Oh bla da"
Beatles, Anthology version

I told the Girl I used to sing this to her when she was a baby, and now she wants to hear it constantly. Great version of the song, but five times in a row?

"Suddenly I'm Miss Farrah Fawcett, from TV, until I wake up and I turn back to myself."

I have the "Bunny Hop" song in my head. Get it out!!! GET IT OUT!!!!!

The opening chorus from the St John Passion, by Bach. I'm singing it in a concert in 4 weeks, so I'm listening to it non-stop at the moment in the hopes of learning it quickly.

This feels very sacriligous after UvaGirl's post. :blush:

"Detachable Penis" -- thanks to Prudence in the John-Thomas thread. It's okay though, I always liked that song. :evil:

I had a piece of music in my head last night. 'Bolero' by Ravel. I was thinking about Blast! @ Disneyland and that cute drummer the show had.
:D

heheeheheh! I love that song!:D

Thanks to a certain someone who shall remain nameless, I've now got that Lee song from 1776 in my head.

That show always gets stuck in my head.
I love "Egg", and I can't even think about "Momma Look Sharp" or "Yours Yours Yours" without getting choked up (for very different reasons, obviously).

I bet it was FlippyShark who got that song stuck in your head. (The inconsiderate jerk :D )

"Well I ain't never been the Barbie Doll type
No, I can't swig that sweet champagne
I rather drink beer all night
In a tavern or in a honkytonk
Or on a four wheel drive tailgate
I've got posters on my wall of Skinny, Kid and Straight
Some people look down on me
But I don't give a rip
I stand there put it in my own front yard
With a baby on my hip
'Cause I'm a redneck woman
I ain't no high class broad
I'm just a product of my raisin'
I say 'Hey y'all' and 'Yeehaw'
And I keep my X-mas lights on
On my front porch all year long
And I know all the words to every Charlie Daniels song..."

~ Gretchen

He Took Her to a Movie - Bertrand Burgalat

Your singing my theme song GC!!!!

"Let me get a big Hell Yeah from the Redneck girls like me!" :D

"Hell Yeah!"
:D

:snap: :snap:

I have the song "Eaton Rifles" in my head althought I've changed the words to :Doing Taxes" (and not the good kind. ;)

I always hear that one as Eatin' Waffles

I remember a Flexipop reader competition where people sent in pictures of themselves posing as a song title. One of the winners had a photo of himself with guns in his mouth (but my favorite was "Bras In Pocket") :D .

I got bras, in pocket...... LOL

The line that always got me was "I'm winking at you" which I sung a whole variety of non sensicle ways. "When can I tell" was popular.

Also, "our hips are wierd" and "Slice slice slice yeah-a" were popular deviations.

Oh, and Flexipop! Put on a kilt, dye your hair green and dance to Xerox Machine.....I still have it.

Depech Mode - I just can't get it up
U2 - I Will Swallow

ooops - have I derailed this convo?

Sorry, but now I hear these in my head...

A.N.T.S.!!!!!!!!

The weirdest FP was The Boomtown Rats "Dun Laoghaire"
- my favorite (and now rattling through my head) was Marc Almond and Throbbing Gristle doing "Discipline"...

ph yes! Talk about a strange pairing!

Throbbong Gristle was the ONLY concert I ever left with ha headache - and I saw the Germs and many other noisey other bands.

Don't you just love it when you have songs stuck in your head that aren't suitable for sharing with the general public? (Yes, it's even worse than Detachable Penis.) My husband was muttering something about the Revolting Cocks, which means my brain went immediately to a song by Sweaty Nipples, thanks to a mix tape one of my ex boyfriends used to play over and over and over. "It thrills my heart to see you walking toward it." That's about all I can say. Out! Out! Purify my memories!

The Rotters - Sit on my Face Stevie Nicks
Hmmm, there's one bit of vinyl that shall never make it to DVD...
I must rip my singles.

Believe it or not, the song was released on CD on both a Rotters Comp a few years ago as well as a punk comp called "Cupid's Revenge". Buy it on Amazon for $2. The kids today will never appreciate the classics from our era.

Damn -ok, I shut up and wait for Flippyshark's next vinyl review.

My recent purchase of Hôtel Costes Sept has quite wonderfully forced Trinity FM's version of "Sounds of Silence" into my brain. And WOW... I'm totally taken with this new version... It's the same song, but different, and new, and special...

I've been mixing (in my mind) the Simon & Garfunkle version and Trinity FM's since I listened to it.. Not bad..
...........................................
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
.....................................

What is it with me & remixes these last few months?

During my sick induced nap, Seven Brides For Seven Brothers was on TCM. So now...I'm singing in my stuffed up head..."Going Courting. Going Courting......"

Save me!

I heard something yesterday that reminded me of Ry Cooders steel guitar soundtrack from the Movie Paris Texas - hauntingly beautiful, great for contemplative moments. Need to dig out the real thing and see how it matches the one in my head.

I sort of have had the Pirates theme stuck in my head for close to a week now, only not exactly. I was at a youth conference last Thursday where they took the Pirates theme and rewrote it to fit the day. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: I hate when they do that. I don't remember all the rewritten lyrics, however, so what goes through my head is more like this:

We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot.
Drink up me 'earties, Yo Ho!
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot.
Drink up me 'earties, Yo Ho!
Yo ho yo ho a Catholic life for me. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

It still kinda fits, though. :D :evil: :evil: :evil:

Still got "The Bunny Hop" in my head.

"I Fought the Law"

"Tell me something good (tell me tell me tell me) Tell that you'll like it, yeah.

LOL, I'm pretty sure I know why that's in your head, as it's probably the same reason it's been in my head for most of the last couple of days as well.

Me too! :D

Whenever I get this one stuck in my head, it's usually accompanied by "Ain't Nobody" by Chaka Khan as well...
:)

I really can't get The Flaming Lips out of my head. Right now, it's Fight Test that's in my brain....

"Sex Dwarf" by Soft Cell. But it's worse than that, because for some bizarre reason, I keep hearing it in my head as if it were sung by Sean Connery. I need help.

Sex Duwahrf!

Thank you GD. Thank you very much. Sean Connery is now singing "Sex Dwarf" to me, too. It's a meme!

I'd give ya tha' mojo, if''n I only could.

:snap: :snap: :snap: :snap:

From Sex Dwarf
clearly because of your excitement at the SSL upgrade.
can't help with the Connery, though. :D

See?! There's just something right about it! I'm telling you, I have a new goal in life...accumulate enough money to pay Sean Connery to record "Sex Dwarf".

Isn't there like some comedy-impersonator version of that? Because I swear..... I feel like I've heard it somewhere... outside of my head.

Wait! I've got it! Darby O'Gill and the (Sexy) Little People!

...and we're back to Disney...

Viva Las Vegas. Dead Kennedy's version.

Hello It's Me - Todd Rundgren

I watched 'The Virgin Suicides' a few nights ago. A lot of the songs from the movie are haunting me...for 3 days now!

"Ask" by the Smiths
:)

'Cos I like you
Yeah I like you
And I'm feeling so bohemian like you


~Dandy Warhols

Totally Ambivalent Over You
- The Real Tuesday Weld

"If I had a Hammer"

must be because I just got back from Ikea...

"When they plant my body in the sod - Please don't take it so hard.
Cause when I'm coppin' that eternal nod I'll be the happiest cat in the grave yard."
Louis Jordan

Hammer? Don't you really mean one of these:

:Crying:

"Roffling!" :snap: :D :snap:

Juice Newton is playing with the Queen of Hearts in my head. I wish she would stop.

This has to do with a thread that Zap and I having fun with - that and boobage (Hear that Alex?)

I got no strings to hold me down...........

Hilary Duff!!! I don't know the name of the song, but it's horrible, and it won't go away! The Girl made me play her cd on the way to dance, and now I am paying for it.

The techno version of the 'Speed Racer' theme song.
:)

"Here he comes here comes Speed Racer!"

I must have this! - is it real or just in your head?

It's real.
I'll see what I can do.
:)

Is that the Alpha Team version? Regardless, now it's in my head, too. :rolleyes:

That's the one. I have the 7" and 12" versions.
:)

GC's right, it is real, complete with sexual innuendo. Quite the hit when I was in high school. :)

Yep. Whole new meaning to 'here he comes...' Heh heh... :evil:


This is what's in my head now:

You get the gray skies outta my way,
You make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day.
Turn a bright spark into a flame,
My beats per minute never been the same.

'Cause you're my lady,
I'm your fool.
Makes me crazy
When you act so cruel.

C'mon baby,
Let's not fight.
We'll go dancing
And everything will be alright.

Wake me up before you go go,
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo.

:)

I just love the nyack nyack nyack sound - it makes me smile

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7119148/#050309a

Now we can all imagine which neurons are firing as we listen to that annoying jukebox of the mind. (word of caution, don't read this if you don't want the Stone's Satisfaction or worse, Who Let the Dogs Out in your head :mad: )

Every so often, for no apparent reason, my brain decides it's time to sing Feliz Navidad. Last night was one of those nights. N ow, if I could only get it to stop....

Hurry up. Hurry up. From the Pajama Game.

I need a clone.

RIP John Raitt. I was thinking about that show when I heard he died.
"More than a dope fiend loves his dope." Indeed.

Who are they?
Where are they?
How can they possibly know all this?

Argh that delicious beat and those gorgeous lyrics....get out of my head, Jem.

Well I had a little chickie and he wouldn't lay and egg, so I poured hot water up and down his leg. Oh the little chickie cried and the little chickie begged but the gosh darned chickie laid a hard boiled egg.


Damned Ice Cream Man!

This is hilarious! My mind is so blissfully free from un-invited music today! I usually find myself overwhelmed by the Disney music cds playing in the shops I work at. I called in sick today, so... no music! I feel so free!

*cue "Born Free"* :eek:

Damn! :rolleyes:

...Child don't worry it's ok
The sun is out for another day
And I say it'll be alright...be alright....

My Jem CD continues spinning in my head.

IZ - 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow/ What a Wonderful World'

Northern Sky - Nick Drake

/le sigh

Hmm -- the song in my head is Option, by Naomi

But I can't seem to find lyrics for it anywhere on the net!!

I know a lot of the, but there are some parts of the song where no matter what I do to the equalizer, I can't seem to separate the vocals enough from the music to be sure what's being said.

I love this song, sooo much, and it's torturing me.

:impaled by music:

Thanks to the Bird thread: Lullaby in Birdland.

"First you stick a rag, put it in the bag.
(bomp bomp)
Then you bend your back, put it in the sack.
(bomp bomp)
That's the way it's done, it's a lot of fun.
(bomp bomp)
Cutting capers, putting papers in the bag."

...and it's my own damn fault

Unspeakable Joy ~ Kim English

Great song. :)

"Too Much Time on My Hands." Holy mother of cheezy rock is that by Foreigner?? Thank God I can't remember. Anyway, besides the irony of having that horror stuck in my head, my brain also seems to be messing w/ the lyrics as in "too much grime on my hands," or "too much time on my sands..."

That would be 'Styx', and cute little Tommy Shaw.....

THX for the clarification WB, although from that era no one can claim the title of cute but Robin Zander!! The ONLY blond male I've ever found attractive...

Look out, look out, Pink Elephants on Parade..............


WTF?

::Hic::

:D

TROGDOR!!!!
TROGDOR!!!!

Trogdor was a man!
Maybe...
he was Dragon Man!
Uh... Maybe he was just a dragon.
Um...
But he was still
TROGDOR!!!!
TROGDOR!!!!

Burninating the countryside!
Burninating the peasants!
Burninating all the peoples!
And their thatch-roofed cottages!
Thatch-Roofed Cottages!!!

And the Trogdor comes in the
NNIIIIIIIIIIGHHHHHTTT!!!!

Now, wasn't that a pantsload of fun?

I've been listening to Mozart's Requiem so that's been humming through my head. True beauty, that music.

"In my heart and I can't let them steal my
JOY!
Unspeakable Joy!
'Cause they did not give it, and they cannot take it away!"

Patsy Cline - "Anytime"

Kaltes Klares Wasser - Chicks on Speed

Weekends-Debbie Deb :)

I'm humming some Elliott Smith song about dying and I need to stop NOW!

For some reason, "Tonight You Belong To Me" is stuck in my head. Worse, it's the Steve Martin and Bernadette Peters version from "The Jerk".

I haven't watched that movie since the late '80s...

Home by Kristin Hersh

Hey again, up for a spin ?
Pretty rain makes you smile
Pretty rain makes you smile

This is something
Why don’t you come in ?
This is some swell trash
This is some swell trash

Jesus, he’s easy
The safest way to go home
Hell, nothing’s boring
Never could panic alone

Hey again, my only friend
Pretty rain makes you smile
Don’t pretty rain make you smile ?

You are something
Why don’t you come in ?
You are some swell trash

Jesus, he’s easy
The safest way to go home
Hell, nothing’s boring
Never could panic alone

Hyper-martyr
Never could panic alone
Find her, untie her
My safest way to go home

Uncle Salty - Aerosmith

I swear, the things that come into my brain.

"Everybody's working for the weekend...."

I can't stop singing the Armour Hotdog song, and having a shelf fall on my head did nothing to stop it.

This has been in my head for the past two hours, TYVM, Prudence! Luckily for me, my weekend starts tonight! (and only last till Saturday afternoon!)

Uncle Salty told me stories of a lonely
baby with a lonely kind of life to lead
my mammy was lusted, Daddy he was busted
they left her to be trusted till the orphan bleeds
but when she cried at night, no one came
and when she cried at night, went insane

Uncle Salty told me when she was just a baby
that she'd get by and maybe someday she'd see
but soon she found her mother's love for all the others
the pushers and the shovers was the life to lead
but when she cried at night, no one came
and when she cried at night, went insane

oooh, it's a sunny day outside my window
oooh, it's a sunny day outside my window
oooh, oh yeah
oooh, oh yeah, yeah yeah

now she's doin any for money and a penny
a sailor with a penny or two or three
hers is the cunning for men who come a-runnin'
they all come for fun and it seems to me
that when she cried at night, no one came
and when she cried at night, went insane

oooh, it's a sunny day outside my window

(Thanks Not Afraid) :D

Teeheehee

"is" not "was"
 

Her name is Lola, she was a chola
Her cousin Jackie, he creased his khakis
Her brother Chuy, he's still in Juvy!

Another song is stuck in my head now:

PATA PATA by Miriam Makeba

Such a fun song...

:)

I think it's title is "Same Old Song and Dance" - Aerosmith. CM, you can correct me if I"m wrong.

Yup, yup, "Same Old Song And Dance"

get yourself cooler, lay yourself low
coincidental murder, with nothing to show
when the judge's constipation go to his head
and his wife's aggravation, you're soon enough dead
it's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend
it's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend

gotcha with the cocaine they found with your gun
[ alt: shady lookin' loser, you played with my gun ]
no smoothy face laywer to getcha undone
say love ain't the same on the south side of town
you could look, but you ain't gonna find it around
it's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend
it's the same old story, same old story
same old song and dance

fate comes a-knockin', doors start lockin'
your old time connection, change your direction
ain't gonna change it, can't rearrange it
can't stand the pain when it's all the same to you, my friend

when you're low down and dirty, from walkin' the street
with your old hurdy-gurdy, no one to meet
say love ain't the same, on the south side of town
you could look, but you ain't gonna find it around
it's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend
it's the same old story, same old story
same old song and dance

Another fine selection, NA :D

Yes, your music brain inhabited mine today.

I've got "Are 'Friends' Electric" by Gary Numan stuck in my head.

"For Now" from 'Avenue Q'.

Thanks to NA's thread of days ago, the Armor Hot Dog theme song. Thank you so very much, NA.

I've got a medley of songs in my head.

Aerosmith (Same Old Song and Dance, TYVM), the Kinks (Lola), Meatlof (I Would Do Anything For Love).

WTF?

Don't feel alone. That's what I was singing while cleaning out my closet. "Cause nothing gotes together like Closets & Hot Dogs.

YOu know you're killing me, right?

More Adventurous by Rilo Kiley

And it's only doubts that we're counting
On fingers broken long ago
I read with every broken heart we should become
More adventurous
And if you banish me from your profits
And if I get banished from the kingdom up above
I'd sacrifice money and heaven all for love
Let me be loved, let me be loved

And if my brain quits, well I guess then that's just it
And if my hands stop working you can call me lazy
And if I get pregnant, I guess I'll just have the baby
Let it be loved, let me be loved

I've been trying to nod my head, but it's like I've got a broken neck
Wanting to say I will as my last testament
For me to be saved and you to be brave
We don't have to walk down that aisle
'Cuz if marriage ain't enough
Well at least we'll be loved

I felt the wind on my cheek coming down from the east
And thought about how we are all as numerous as leaves on trees
And maybe ours is the cause of all mankind
Give love to make more, try to stay alive

I've been trying to nod my head, but it's like I've got a broken neck
Wanting to say I will as my last testament
For you to be saved and me to be brave
We don't have to walk down that aisle
'Cuz if marriage ain't enough
Well at least we'll be loved

Serge Gainsbourg - Cha cha cha de loup.


Will that help, Erica?

OOOh! Serge!

"The name on everybody's lips is gonna be Roxie. The lady raking in the chips is gonna be Roxie...."

Thanks. Now I'm singing it with altered words........


The pain in everybody's neck is gonna be Roxy.

"I'm gonna be a celebrity that means somebody everyone knows
They're gonna recognize my eyes, my hair, my teeth, my.."

Take it away, Lisa!

:D

Boobs, my nose, my hair my toes.

I don't know what's right or wrong anymore.

So, now, I'm in the LR singing "The name on everyone's black lips is gonna be Scoundrel".


We love Pookie. YAY (For Erica)

I love glee club nights. Love love love. Half of my brain is singing Tourdion:

Quand je bois du vin claret,
Amis, tout tourne, tourne, tourne, tourne,
Aussi desormais je bois Anjou ou Arbois.
Chantons et buvons,
a ce flacon faisons la guerre,
chantons et buvons,
mes amis, buvons donc.

The alto/tenor/bass lines have slightly different words, and include something about eating a large ham. This song rocks. Here's a slow, kind of clunky midi. It's a 16th century rock song.

And then we sang the small world song nearly all the way home. Over and over and over again.

But I think Tourdion is winning.

YAYYYY!!!!

Awwww-- POOKIE!!!

:)

The song in my head is "Laid" by James


This bed is on fire
With passionate love
The neighbours complain about the noises above
But she only comes when she's on top

My therapist said not to see you no more
She said you're like a disease without any cure
She said I'm so obsessed that I'm becoming a bore, oh no
Ah, you think you're so pretty

Caught your hand inside the till
Slammed your fingers in the door
Fought with kitchen knives and skewers
Dressed me up in women's clothes
Messed around with gender roles
Dye my eyes and call me pretty

Moved out of the house, so you moved next door
I locked you out, you cut a hole in the wall
I found you sleeping next to me, I thought I was alone
You're driving me crazy, when are you coming home

No Mercy for Swine -- Cherry Poppin' Daddies

Great song...Very Co-Dependent :)

This is the way we make our bed, make our bed, make our bed.
This is the way we make our bed, so early in the morning.

Synchronicity II - The Police

Rocket 95 (Alien Fashion Show? I can't remember.)

But all my fosse talk is slowly replacing that with "Don't Tell Mama" and Matron 'Mama' Morton's number -- "push me up my ladder, kid, and I'll push you up yours..."

Telephone Song- as performed by B.B. King on the Stevie Ray Vaughn tribute album - man, I miss my missus.

Okay, so there's this well-known medieval number often called the Agincourt Carol. Henry V and all that. You can read all about it and hear the "real" versionhere.

What you need to know is that it ALSO scans to the banana boat song.

Deo. Deeeeeeo.
Deo Gracias Anglia.

Deo. Deeeeeeo.

I have no idea why... I'm just sooooo darned tired.

On Her Majesy's Secret Service - Propellerheads Remix

We Have All the Time in the World - Iggy Pop Version.


And, boy does my car move with this CD in play.

Yes I think our spy mix may get us into trouble - if they can catch us ;)

It's Cheaper To Keep Her - Johnnie Taylor

I'm humming the Main Street Mix - isn't that sad?

Somewhere along the way, I switched to Live and Let Die Brains are funny things. 30 whole minutes later and I do a 180.

Music Choice Blues has been very fun today. This morning, I found out that there's a blues song called "Big Ovaries, Baby!" by Gaye Adegbalola. It's got some great lyrics, including...

"I got big ovaries, baby....big enough to speak my mind... I'll fight for my rights, cuz, bitch is my middle name!"

Listen to Alberta Hunter's My Handy Man Ain't Handy No More from Amtrack Blues:

("...he churns my butter, and he strokes my fiddle...he threads my needle, creams my wheat, heats my heater, and he chops my meat...and do you know?...sometimes, he's up way before dawn, busy cleaning the rough edges off my lawn...")

The double entendre is delightful!

Kings and Queens by Aerosmith - somehow appropriate with all the talk from Not Afraid about the French Revolution...

Yeah, they overplayed it, and yeah, it's old already, but every time I hear this song I get it stuck in my head and I'm glad of it. The lyrics are so spot on.

Sometimes I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear.
And I cant help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear take the wheel and steer.
It's driven me before, it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal
Lately I'm beginning to find that I should be the one behind the wheel.
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there!
With open arms and open eyes, yeah.
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, I'll be there.

So if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive
Will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive?
It's driven me before, it seems to be the way
That everyone else get around
Lately, I'm beginning to find that when I drive myself, my light is found.
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there!
With open arms and open eyes, yeah.
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, I'll be there.

Would you choose water over wine?
Hold the wheel and drive.

A song by Shena Ringo - Kofukuron, I think (is that the name of the song on that video?)

It's a duel.

At one moment: This is the song that never ends, it just goes on and on my friend....

And at the next: gimme a head with hair, long beautiful hair.....

It is 7:10 pm and I'm singing:

Good Morning.Good MoRNing.
Do do do do do do do do
Good Morning. Good Morning. To you.

I have no idea where it came from.

Who can turn the world on with her smile?
Who can take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile
Well, it's you, girl, and you should know it
With each glance and every little movement you show it.
Love is all around, No need to fake it.
You can have a town, why don't you take it.
You're gonna make it after all.

Bod a bop bah *throws hat in the air*


Sorry... Been watching Biography on the ole Tivo

Scrooge, that is pretty low. Downright despicable even. I'm going to bed soon and it better be out of my head by then.

;)

This morning I woke up singing
"That's where my money goes
To buy my baby clothes
I'll buy her anything
To keep her in style."

And somehow on the way from civpro to property class this evening I suddenly had the guitar solo from "November Rain" in my head. Clearly I am doing pennance for my sins.

"The Wait" - (single version) The Pretenders.

"If I had a penis
I'd wear it outside
In cafes and car lots
With pomp and with pride
If I had a penis
I'd pamper it proper
I'd stay in the tub
And use me as a stopper"

Hang on to Yourself - David Bowie (Is that a strange song to wake up to, or what?)

Saw Bride and Prejudice a few days ago. I've had that "No life without wife" tune in my head for days.

Gotta love Bollywood! ;)

Thanks to NA, Hang on to your Ego by Frank Black.

"Strawberry Chips" - a very weird Christmas song.

Have no idea of the title, but...

Hey baby, hey baby, hey
Girls, say... Girls say
Hey baby, hey baby, hey!

Ms. Gwen was singing to me on the way back from lunch :)

"Brown Eyed Girl", over and over and over.

I have no idea why. I don't recall hearing this song in months. Still, there it goes round and round, all morning long.

Don't Worry, Be Happy
(Try not to let it sink in, or it will never leave...)

Apparently it's an Uncle Bonsai kind of day.

"Boys want sex in the morning..."

"I Just Can't be Happy Today" - The Damned.

C'mon, Get Happy?

Bad dreams!
are keeping me awake at night
Bad dreams!
I think I'm gonna turn on the light
Bad dreams!
how long are they gonna go on
(I don't know!)
Here comes the beast again!

Let's Get Drunk and Screw - Jimmy Buffett

Oh, nooooo -- the guy on Nightline said Constantinople.


Istanbul....not Contantinople (this could be going on for days.)

"I remember once when I was but a child of tender years
The day that I discovered the catalog from Sears
The people in the pictures they made me stop and stare
For who would guess that they'd be dressed in thermal underwear."

Stukas Over Disneyland by the Dickies

M.I.A. - Bucky Done Gun

Right now, I have "City of Blinding Lights" by U2, and I honestly thought they'd brought themselves to a point where I could no longer listen to anything new they put out (didn't care for the last two albums, and Vertigo just grates on me) but this song is the same kind of powerful romantic (if not a bit cliche at moments) rock that I love from U2.

Aside from the refrains, the rest of the song is only OK, but the first minute of it is enough to make me totally love it. Until I hear it a squillion times!

Soup lines
Free loaves of bread
Five pound blocks of cheese
Bags of groceries
Social security
Has run out on you and me
We do whatever we can
Gotta duck when the sh!t hits the fan

In This Diary ~ The Ataris

Here- let me help you out..

"I'm your ice cream man, baby
stop me when I'm passing by....."

Well...it's a bit of an improvement, isn't it?

Wow! I've been meaning to post that one in the Favorite Lyrics thread for a few days now! Have you been reading my mind? Maybe that's why it's in your head. :D

I haven't been reading your mind...or have I? :eek:

I have to confess, I actually thought of you today when I was listening to this song. (I was driving my husband's car and listening to a CD that he had burned. So I listened to the song more than once.) Didn't you mention before that you knew a guy that used to be in The Ataris?

Yep. Derrick Plourde was their original drummer. I think he was on their original LP, then he went on to be in Lagwagon, Bad Astronaut, and a bunch of other band that would probably be known only to people familiar with the Santa Barbara/Goleta music scene. Derrick & his brother grew up with my older brothers. He died a month or so ago.

Yes, I remember you mentioning that. Very sad. :(

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

So, if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This can be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?

Someday I'll be Saturday Night ~Bon Jovi

"1, 2, 3, 4" - Miss Kitten & Golden Boy

*still singing, eyes closed*

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh SIMPLE THING, where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So TELL ME WHEN you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And IIIIFFFF you have minute why don't WE GO
TAAAALK ABOUT IT somewhere only we know
THIIIIS can be the end of everythiiing
So why don't we go
somewhere only we know?

somewhere only we know...

Mein Hut, der hat drei Ecken,
Drei Ecken hat mein Hut.
Und hätt’ er nicht drei Ecken,
So wär’s auch nicht mein Hut.

My hat, that has three corners,
three corners has my hat.
And ' it does not haett three corners,
thus waer's also not my hat.
:D

The instrumental version of 'That's What Uncle Remus Say'* from the Splash Mountain queue. I'm listening to random DL park tracks on my iPod and that one's sticking with me today.






*Please note that GC's song choice has everything to do with his love of the park and in no way advocates slavery. This post is also not a passive aggressive pointed commentary on Leo's Racism thread. It has more to do with the shuffle function on my iPod than anything else. Thank you and have a nice day. When in Southern California, stop by at Walt Disney's magic kingdom of Disneyland and help us celebrate Disneyland's 50th Birthday! Come and ride Tomorrowland's newest attraction Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters!

beat on the brat
beat on the brat
beat on the brat with a baseball bat
oh yeah, oh yeah, uh-oh

oh yeah, oh yeah, uh-oh

what can you do?
what can you do?
with a brat like that always on your back
what can you lose?

Find me and follow me
through corridors and factories
duh duh duh duh factory!
a psychadelic factory!

You'll find me in the matinee
the dark of the matinee
it's better in the matinee
the dark of the matinee.....

This song really burrows its way into your skull and won't leave! Even though I have the words all wrong...

I know a girl from a lonely street
Cold as ice cream but still as sweet
Dry your eyes Sunday girl

Hey I saw your guy with a different girl
Looks like he's in another world
Run and hide Sunday girl

Hurry up hurry up and wait
I stay away all week and still I wait
I got the blues
Please come see, what your lovin' means to me

Misty Mountain Hop, Led Zeppelin

I've had a major thing for gettin' the Led out this last week.. Hmm...

Just finished working out and on shuffle play my mini disc player pulled up my two FAVORITE workout songs which are now stuck in my head - -but I don't mind!

Sing Sing Sing (by just about anyone, but on my disc it's Lee Presson)

and

Drunk Daddy (Cherry Poppin' Daddies.)

Yeah! I hear those and I just want to go for days. Except if I did I'd be really sore tomorrow.

The Samba version of the Clash's Guns of Brixton by Nouvelle Vague.

There is a song that has been stuck in my head off and on for over 10 years -- ever since I saw it on Bombshelter Video back in high school. But alas, how would I ever find such an obscure song again?

Thanks to the magic of Google, I am now able to share with you, complete with video (warning!), Satan Lend me a Dollar.

This morning I cannot for the life of me get the Diff'rent Strokes theme song out of my head.

There's a thread on MC titled "Hit me baby one more time" that I have never even opened. I read MC in the morning and start singing the awful tune by name name - for hours!

We Are Here To Change The World - Michael Jackson (Captain Eo soundtrack)

Happy Boy - Beat Farmers

(hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba!)

Gah! In my head I'm singing the tune to "Rockin' the Casbah" but with the words of "Changing the Catbox."
