what song has been stuck in your head lately?

i've had jimmy eat world's "the middle" in my head for about three days now. far... too... catchy... to ... stand!

what tunes have you been struggling to get out of yr head lately?

Drives me nuts.
There it is again.
Damn.

Thanks a hell of a lot.

actually, now it's in my head.

thanks a hell of a lot back at you.

have you heard "in the middle" lately? *ahem*

anything to get "the middle" out of my skull ;-).

they play it alllll the time, lol

'cuz Jane Siberry does a song called "Calling All Angels" with KD Lang doing backing/duet vox.

I'm anything but a KD Lang fan (my mom used to be WAY into her), but I dig the song, and I have it on 2 CD's, the _Until the End of the World_ soundtrack, which I got long before I had any idea who Jane Siberry was (mostly got it for the Depeche track)... and I have it on Jane Siberry's own "When I Was a Boy" which has some great tracks on it. Highly recommended album for people who like music that departs from certain accepted norms :)

I'm not crazy about most of Siberry's other albums, though. A couple of 'em have 2 or 3 good songs, I guess.

they're good, you should check them out.

'Hollywood' or some such nonsense. Ive been refinishing furniture all day with the TV on in the background and apparently theres a commercial thats using that song and if I heard it once I heard it a hundred times today. GRRRRRRR!!!!!!!

Take a look at my girlfriend/ She's the only one I got

I'm lost in a daydream

:

...over and over and over...

99 Luftballoons.

It was on a bad sitcom I was watching the other night.

as soon as someone says the words "song stuck in head".

AT THE COPA by Barry Manilow.

Excuse me, but I must now go and find a hammer.

eileen from OH ("her name was Lola. . .")

it was really just an exercise to get my song out of my head... :evilgrin:

When I want to get a song out of my head I start singing the theme song to "Three's Company"

works everytime but the cure is worse than the disease.

No idea what brought this on

as well as "hoorepa". Don't ask.

I got "creeping death" running in my head

Electric Aunt Jemima



Electric Aunt Jemima
Goddess of Love
Khaki Maple Buckwheats
Frizzle on the stove
Queen of my heart
Please hear my plea
Electric Aunt Jemima
Cook a bunch for me

Tried to find a reason
Not to quit my job
Beat me till I'm hungry
Found a punk to rob
Love me Aunt Jemima
Love me now & ever more

Love me Aunt Jemima

Tried to find a raisin
Brownies in the basin
Monza by the street light
Aunt Jemima all night
Holiday & salad days
And days of mouldy mayonaise
Caress me
Caress me
Caress me Aunt Jemima
Caress me
Caress me Aunt Jemima
Caress me
Caress me Aunt Jemima
Caress me
Caress me Aunt Jemima
Caress me
Caress me Aunt Jemima

As a matter of fact, an excellent album. I bought it on vinyl years ago when it was first released and my friends at the time thought my cheese had slid off my cracker. :silly:
Thanks, tarkus.......I wont mind having that one playing in my head for a while.

-chef-

"come on eileen" damn good song too.

I ought to know, it was stuck in my head for years.

Junior year abroad in Canterbury 82-83 when that goddamn pestilence was a hit the entire year. Get back stateside and guess what? It's crossed the Atlantic like a plague-infested cruise ship and is a hit here, too. Ok, I exaggerate, and wouldn't trade the year abroad experience for anything, but, uh, I could have lived without Dexy. Sort of like Herman's Hermits without the hard edge. (Ssssssssssss)

not Jenny... like my girlfriend at the time... 867-5309

she still takes shit for it

Great song, but I'm ready for another. Before that it was Zero7's Destiny. At least I only have good songs on my mental turntable.

they can..."

AUGHHHHHH! Somebody kill me NOW! Anything to stop that goddam song!!!

A day I'll always remember, yes I will.
'Cause that was the day that my daddy died.
I never got a chance to see him.
Never heard nothing but bad things about him.
Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the tuth.

And Mama just hung her head and said,
"Son, Papa was a rolling stone.

MUST GET OUT OF BRAIN NOW!

CANT...ARAGHH!

Wherever he laid his hat was his home,
(And when he died) All he left us was alone..."
The Temptations

man what a song, what a group...

By Big Star.

I know alot of those
and your not one of them
There's a light in your eyes
say somebodies in
So don't come a cowboying me!

it's been "I Made It Through the Rain" and I don't know why! I haven't heard that song in years....

...someone help me.....please...

by The Eagles. Really old stuff. I rigged my turntable so's I can rip MP3's from my old albums. Kewl!

BLOOD ON THE RISERS
(Tune of "Glory, Glory, Hallelujah")

He was just a rookie trooper,
And he surely shook from fright
As he checked all his equipment,
And made sure his pack was tight
He had to sit and listen to those awful engines roar,
You ain't gonna jump no more.

"Is everyone happy?", cried the sergeant, looking up,
Our Hero feebly answered "Yes," and then they stood him up,
He leaped right out into the blast, his static line unhooked,
HE AIN'T GONNA JUMP NO MORE!

CHORUS:
GORY, GORY, WHAT A HELLUVA WAY TO DIE
GORY, GORY, WHAT A HELLUVA WAY TO DIE
GORY, GORY, WHAT A HELLUVA WAY TO DIE
HE AIN'T GONNA JUMP NO MORE!

He counted long, he counted loud, he waited for the shock,
He felt the wind, he felt the clouds, he felt the awful drop,
He jerked his cord, the silk spilled out and wrapped around his legs.
HE AIN'T GONNA JUMP NO MORE!
(CHORUS)

The risers wrapped around his neck, connectors cracked his dome
The lines were snarled and tied in knots, around his skinny bones,
The canopy became his shroud, he hurtled to the ground,
HE AIN'T GONNA JUMP NO MORE!
(CHORUS)

The days he's lived and loved and laughed kept running through his mind,
He thought about the girl back home, the one he'd left behind,
He thought about the medics and wondered what they'd find,
HE AIN'T GONNA JUMP NO MORE!
(CHORUS)

The ambulance was on the spot, the jeeps were running wild,
The medics jumped and screamed with glee, they rolled thier sleeves and smiled
For it had been a week or more since last a 'Chute had failed.
HE AIN'T GONNA JUMP NO MORE!
(CHORUS)

He hit the ground, the sound was "SPLAT", his blood went spurting high
His comrades then were heard to say, "A Helluva way to die."
He lay there rolling 'round in the welter of his gore.
HE AIN'T GONNA JUMP NO MORE!
(CHORUS)

There was blood upon the risers, there were brains upon the 'Chute
Intestines were a'dangling from his Paratrooper's boots,
They picked him, still in his 'Chute and poured him from his boots.
HE AIN'T GONNA JUMP NO MORE!
(CHORUS)

.... stay nice and clean. Shave every day and you'll always look keen."

by A Perfect Circle

I'd sell my soul, my self-esteem
A dollar at a time
For one chance,
One kiss,
One taste of you my Magdalena.


It has gotten into my head and my guts and won't let go. Wonderful little ditty about passionate, obsessive, do anything to have you, love.

Darth Velma

Have no idea why I'm attached to this song right now. At least it's a pleasant ditty.

I heard it on the radio the other day. It's old - from 1966 by the Sandpipers. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

My little brother sang that for Spanish class in high school and I had to listen to him practice it for weeks. I didn't think I'd ever get that somng out of my head.

Thanks Skittles. :eyes:

.... but be warned, the cure is as bad, if not worse, than the disease.

"I Like Traffic Lights Song" cause that always works for me. And it annoys everyone else in my office when I hum it incessently to get rid of whatever else it is that's in my head.

-V-

followed by "The Girl from Ipanema" and "Never on a Sunday"

and "Plastic Jesus." I'm on a Jello binge. ;-)

I'm reading your posts, laughing my butt off until it happens...
The Boll Weevil song that I learned in fourth grade comes crashing to forefront of my brain...
"He's looking for a home, just a lookin' for a home..."
Suddenly this thread is not so funny anymore..

Rick Nelson's "Teen-Age Idol." As I type this, it's "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?" Christ only knows what it'll be a few hours from now!

Just rediscovering some of my childhood songs. :) Another thing I have going through my head: manahmanah, that segment from The Muppet Show with the two pink cows with big eyelashes, and the wild looking character in the green dress. Dang song. :)

Doot do do do Doot do do do, Doot do do do Doot do do do...
