What Song Was In Your Head Today?

[Thelonious Funk]

All day I was humming Mannish Boy... But not the original... The Jimi Hendrix Version...

do do do da do do de de da do


Yeah so I'm nuts. But I bet you had a song in your head today too... what was it?

[Ovation]

Year of the Cat--Al Stewart. Had to sing it to my son (he's a toddler, he doesn't mind...yet ) to get rid of it.

[rotelnut]

Ovation,year of the cat is very good music,have liked it since highschool,just brings things back!!!I love the new cd from donald fagen morfe the cat,try it out!

[chinets]

The sponge Bob theme song! :rofl:

[ShadowZA]

Thrown down - Fleetwood Mac. For some reason, the voice of Stevie Nicks just does it for me. Had this tune in my head the whole morning. Quite motivating.

[twitch54]

Harry Chapin - "Mail Order Annie"

[David Meek]

I have NO idea why, but it's been the "Do-Ray-Me" song from The Sound Of Music! Yeeesh. I had to put on the Doobie Brothers' Evil Woman to exorcise it.

[bigburner]

The bass line in "Little Green Bag" by The George Baker Selection, over and over again...

[chinets]

Hogan's Heroes Theme song!! And The song from Madagascar cartoon: " Move it!"

[8thDwarf]

Hyperborean/Arild Anderen and thanks to the Greek audiophile I have a name to link to that ear worm.

[gross30]

"Battle of Evermore" Led Zeppelin. All day. On the ipod through the truck stereo, and on the laptop at work. Great stuff. Timeless classic. i.m.o.o.

[Thelonious Funk]

I read these posts and what stuck in my head was the Sponge Bob theme song. Great. Just great.

[Burke Strickland]

"Tupelo Honey" by Van Morrison. His constrained, nasal voice can be SOOOO annoying, but the melody just won't go away...

[PewterTA]

That D(*&MED Wendy's whistling commercial... just the whistle they do. Driving me NUTS!!!!

I guess that's what I get for watching Football this weekend, those commercials stuck in my head.

[Thelonious Funk]

That part in Friday Night in San Francisco where they start playing the Pink Panther theme and break into a bluse riff before swinging back into flamenco guitar.


Damn you Paco de Lucia. Damn you Al Di Meola. Damn you John McLaughlin.


But yeah if there is anyone out there who hasn't heard that record on a good sound system, you're missing out. Even if it does get stuck in your head.

Above is a link to a 50 minute concert at the Montreal Jazz festival... Just Al, but it's worth a looksee. I know need to own this on DVD>

[sokoban]

Ugh. I had this silly song by System of a Down stuck in my head today.

The lyrics are (seriously, I'm not kidding):
"Banana banana banana terracotta
Banana terracotta terracotta pie
Banana banana banana terracotta
Banana terracotta terracotta pie"


I thought I was going to pull my hair out.

[Thelonious Funk]

No lyrics... just a pipe organ. Little Fugue in G minor.

Bach is rad.

[Club1820]

Was listening to a Fourplay CD the other day. Can't get their collaboration with Roberta Flack & "The Closer I get to You" out of my head!!!!

Great cd btw.

[Charles]

Andy Griffith song

[ctnsupra1]

Monkey Business by Skid Row

[Race Car Driver]

Justin Timberlake "Cry me a river"...

[bigburner]

No lyrics... just a pipe organ. Little Fugue in G minor.

Bach is rad.

I haven't had that one before but I do get Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor stuck in my head occasionally.

[Thelonious Funk]

The Old Home Place.

JD Crowe and the New South

I have to say that this is the best bluegrass song ever to wash over me. And I've heard a lot of bluegrass.


Hard to whistle the harmonies though.

[Thelonious Funk]

"Battle of Evermore" Led Zeppelin. All day. On the ipod through the truck stereo, and on the laptop at work. Great stuff. Timeless classic. i.m.o.o.

I went out and bought this for the fourth time today... Roommates steal, car breaks-ins, ect...

Thanks for making me think about it again. I've heard Stairway enough in my life... but Evermore.... never enough.

[Thelonious Funk]

Oh lord, won't you buy me a mercedes benz
my friends all drive porches
I must make amends
and so on. over and over and over and over and over and over... and over.

[Club1820]

In my head since yesterday...

...BEAR DOWN, Chicago Bears.....

I assume you can guess why.? GO BEARS!

[Thelonious Funk]

My girlfriend wanted to know what this site was about last night so I let her read through some things... she emailed me from work today and asked me to post that she has Total Eclipse of the Heart in her head.

She requests a music gun with a good song bullet to blow this out of her mind.

[Chris D]

Well, I tell you what... for any of you that want an effective "song bullet" to put a song out of your head, all you need is the chorus of the song that goes:

Doot doo doo doo
Doot do doo doo
Doot doo doo doo
Doot do doo doo

I don't know the name or artist of the song. I think it starts with the line, "I was sitting, at the counter, of the diner, on the corner". If you know the chorus, there, it's tougher than anything to get it out of your head. Or perhaps the other song:

Phenomena! (doot doooooo doo doo doo)
Phenomena! (doot doo doo doo)
Phenomena! (doot doooooo doo doo doo)
(doo doo doo do do doot doo doooooo doo)

[Thelonious Funk]

Suzanne Vega. And you're right. But unfortunately, before I read this, I didn not have a song in my head, and now I have that.

How about
Shot thru the heart,
and you're to blame
Darlin' you give love a bad name.

I used to call my boss everyday and play. He loves me.

Or...
Don't you wish your boyfriend was hot like me...

It's awful music, but it sticks.

[Audiophiliac]

"Shinedown" by Godsmack.

[David Meek]

"I am the walrus, koo koo ka cho"

I've been listening to Beatles Love too much lately.

[Burke Strickland]

I've been listening to Beatles Love too much lately.

Isn't that impossible?

For the song that wouldn't go away today I have to thank XM-Radio's on the air survey of "worst songs ever" this past week end... of course, I lucked into tuning in more than once (they repeated the show at different times of day) right when they played the VERY worst one...

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!

I agree with that last line. :>) (So did the D.J. -- and the person who compiled the list of worst songs said that after playing that one, he was going into hiding.) ;>)

[Thelonious Funk]

YOUR LOVE IS LIKE BAD MEDICINE
BAD MEDEIINE IS WHAT I NEED
Shake it up.

Bon Jovi haunts me.

[David Meek]

Oh no. NOT McArthur Park!!!!! Run. Run fast. :takecover:

[thadman]

pushit tool

[Thelonious Funk]

oh... pushit is a good one.... More for the music... Fairgrounds, school dances, and my babysitters house... she was a cheerleader... pushit.....ahhhhhh

[Dean100]

Can't remember the name of the band and haven't hear this song for years. Anybody remember the name of the band?

It's natures way of telling you somethings wrong
It's nautures way of telling you in a song

It's natures way of receiving you
It's natures way of retreiving you
It's natures way of telling you
Somethings wrong

Edit
Ah just found it, the band was Spirit.
Keep thinking that I will hear it in a TV commercial one of these days as it really sticks in your head.

[Gene Simmons]

Simple Minds - Don't You (Forget About Me)

Seems like I heard it in every store I was in today. Not that I'm complaining, its in my top 10!

[bigburner]

Pearly Shells by Burl Ives. I'm not proud of this I can tell you.

All together now...

Pearly shells,
From the ocean.
Shining in the sun
Covering the shore
When I see them
My heart tells me that I love you
More than all those little pearly shells.

[dknightd]

Greg Brown, Laughing river. the live one is best. But it is stuck in my head, I think maybe I need to revisit the UP

[Thelonious Funk]

I went to a jazz club tonight and it was obvious which songs the guys liked playing and which they HAD to play for the 80 something crowd, but one track they all agreed on and which is now stuck in my head is Summertime.


Not the Janis Joplin version either.

[digital desire]

"River of Tears" Clapton benifit dvd.
Very moving, emotional song.

[Thelonious Funk]

Today has been the coldest day of the last 365 here and the weather service has put out a warning. Pray for us.

And I quote:

The National Weather Service forecasts the coldest temperatures of the year for Lee County, tonight.

Tonight: Mostly clear, with a low around 34. North-Northwest wind between 3 and 6 mph.

Tuesday Morning: Wind chill values between 34 and 39 early tomorrow morning. Calm wind becoming northeast between 4 and 7 mph.

The following cold weather shelters will be open on January 29, 2007.

We encourage you to take the following cold weather precautions:
• Bring pets inside a covered area
• Bring potted plants inside and cover outdoor plants
• Do not use charcoal or gas grills inside. They produce deadly Carbon Monoxide fumes

• Check on neighbors, friends and relatives to make sure they are prepared for the colder weather
• Dress warmly in layers, if you will be outside for extended periods




I'm sooo cold. In honor of it getting so cold I can almost say it's freezing, Cold As Ice has been running through my head.

So cold. Can't feel my fingers to type...

[David Meek]

34? Cold weather? Quick, break out the long pants! :B

[Thelonious Funk]

It's great to know that I will most likely live my life without ever having to turn on the heat in my house.

The coldest day on record here, since they started keeping the records, is 26 degrees.

ROCK!
