Ever Have a Song That You Can't Get Off Your Mind?

[n2nh]

Ever have a song that you can't get off your mind? It just goes on and on, round and round, and it comes out here <points at mouth>??

For some reason I can't get this ditty off my mind:

CHEEK TO CHEEK
Irving Berlin

Heaven... I'm in heaven,
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak.
And I seem to find the happiness I seek,
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek.

Heaven... I'm in heaven,
And the cares that hung around me through the week,
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak,
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek.

Oh, I love to climb a mountain,
And to reach the highest peak.
But it doesn't thrill me half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek.

Oh, I love to go out fishing
In a river or a creek.
But I don't enjoy it half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek.

Dance with me! I want my arms about you.
The charms about you
Will carry me through to...

Heaven... I'm in heaven,
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak.
And I seem to find the happiness I seek,
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek.

---and I thought it was Heaven. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Gee, you're good! I can almost always remember melodies, even from songs I heard once a long time ago, but the words never seem to stay with me. I guess that is why I was training at one time to be a professional instrumentalist! No WORDS!

Since I do have a musician's heart, I wake up almost every morning with at least one song going on in my mind. This morning, I was recalling music from "Oklahoma", including some songs that Rogers and Hammerstein never composed ( if you catch my drift ! )

Well, I'm glad to know that I am not the only person blessed with this . . . . whatever you want to call it ! http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

73, and keep hearing those songs. It's a lot better than what goes through the minds of SOME people !

Well, there's always 'scat'.


For tunes that run forever in your head -- how about:

"I'm 'enery the eighth I am
'Enery the eigth I am I am
I got married to the widow next door
She's been married seven times before
And every one was an 'enery
There never was a Willy or a Sam
I'm 'er eighth old man I' 'enery
'Enery the eight I am

Second verse, same as the first..."

Yes, and it goes...

I am looking for a way to get my XYL to stop the serial playing of this song. (http://www.chrismcgraw.com/mp3/Chris%20McGraw%20-%20Cynical%20(Andrea's%20Song).mp3) Chris experiments with a new style and she goes nutz. I've heard it about 20 times in the last two days. Ugggh!

That's interesting! My Uncle told me a story once of his days in World War II. They were getting ready to invade Okinawa, and as they were boarding the landing craft from his troop ship, the loudspeakers were playing a song from "Oklahoma" over and over; "Oh What A Beautiful Morning" I thought that was interesting and more than a little wierd.

Song in my head? "Mars" from the Gustav Holst suite "The Planets." It's been in my head all day, and I just can't get it to stop....

[WB2WIK]

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality;
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see...
I'm just a poor boy,I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go,
Little high,little low...
Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me,
To me.

Mama, just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead.
Mama, life had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away.
Mama oooh
Didnt mean to make you cry;
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters.

Too late, my time has come:
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time.
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth.
Mama oooh
I don't want to die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all...

I've had Bohemian Rhapsody going through my mind at least a few minutes each day for years.

I think it's a sign.

Maybe it means, "NO PARKING." http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time

Those nice, young men
In their clean, white coats
And they're coming to take me away, Ha-haaa!

This is a song that has no end.

Some people started singing it,
not knowing what it was,
And they'll continue singing it forever
just because- -

Our hope's dissolved
For man's evolved into another state of being
Have we 'progressed' beyond the need of feeling?

A cyber-brain
The last in the chain of man/machine alliance
Have we become the victims of our science?

Evil devolution!
Is this an illusion?
Out here in space

Human humiliation!
This mutation
Of our human race

Is this the end?
Will we transcend the need for human pleasures?
Will we abandon all our earthly treasures?

Will mankind yield
On the battlefield of natural selection
To an inorganic digital perfection?

Evil devolution!
Is this an illusion?
Out here in space

Human humiliation!
This mutation
Of our human race

Ayreon, Evil Devolution.

The guest singer also sounds alot like Greg Lake (ELP fame)

They have a number of catchy ditties.

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap and Big Balls have gotta be classics for that.

[KC2OFN]

Pink Houses, John Cougar Mellencamp

There's a black man with a black cat livin' in a black neighborhood
He's got an interstate runnin' through his front yard
You know he thinks that he's got it so good
And there's a woman in the kitchen cleanin' up the evenin' slop
And he looks at her and says, "Hey darlin', I can remember when
you could stop a clock."

CHORUS:
Oh but ain't that America for you and me
Ain't that America somethin' to see baby
Ain't that America home of the free
Little pink houses for you and me

There's a young man in a t-shirt
Listenin' to a rockin' rollin' station
He's got greasy hair, greasy smile
He says, "Lord this must be my destination."
'Cause they told me when I was younger
"Boy you're gonna be president."
But just like everything else those old crazy dreams
Just kinda came and went

:|| CHORUS

Well there's people and more people
What do they know know know
Go to work in some high rise
And vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico
Ooh yeah
And ther's winners and there's losers
But they ain't no big deal
'Cause the simple man baby pays for the thrills, the bills,
the pills that kill



That and: (If you dont know this song, please dont reply until you learn!)

I can feel it coming in the air tonight
Hold on
I've been waiting for this moment
For all my life
Hold on

Can you feel it coming in the air tonight
Hold on
Hold on

Well if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am
well I was there and I saw what you did
saw it with my own two eyes
so you can wipe off that grin
I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies

I can feel it coming in the air tonight
Hold on
I've been waiting for this moment
For all my life
Hold on

Repeat

Well I remember
I remember
Don't worry
How could I ever forget
It was the first time
The last time we ever met

But I know the reason
Why you keep this silence up
No you don't fool me
Well the hurt doesn't show
But the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you and me

I can feel it coming in the air tonight
Hold on
I've been waiting for this moment
For all my life
Hold on

I can feel it in the air tonight
Hold on
I've been waiting for this moment
For all my life
Hold on

of course there is the old Wierd Al Yankovic song about "dead puppies "

By the way, there's actually a name for a song that gets stuck in your head - it's called an "earworm." #And I've got enough of my own personal earworms to stock a large bait shop. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif #One prime example - at least the chorus, if not the whole song - is "If Love Should Go" by Streets. #[Google it.]

Def Leppard's "Love And Affection" can run laps in my cranium for hours at a time as well. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Edit: Actually, any song I like - and that's a very large list! - can become a personal earworm. Some songs are just more likely candidates than others. Even entire albums can become earworms - Billy Squier's "Don't Say No," for instance.

Any anime fans here who might be familiar with the song "Ready Steady Go" by L'Arc en Ciel, used as the opening theme for Fullmetal Alchemist? THERE'S an earworm for ya! http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif So is "Asia no junshin [True Asia]" by Puffy [that's what they're called in Japan, anyway - over here, they're "Puffy AmiYumi" 'cause Peepee-Doody-What's-His-Name already has a claim on "Puffy"].

One more random earworm from way out here in left field - "Ocean Man" by Ween. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

That song was one of my mother's favorites. She used to sing it all the time when I was a kid.

Do the words sound queer;

a little bit jumbled and jivey.

And little lambs eat ivy.
A kid'll eat ivy too wouldn't you.

Somebody once told me
The world was out to roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking mighty dumb
With her finger and her thumb
In the shape of &quot;L&quot; on her forehead

Well the years start comming
And they don't stop comming
Fed to the rule so I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow

Hey now, you're an all star,
Get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star
Get the show on, get payed
All that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold...

And I'm gonna bet that game was Phoenix - originally by Taito, but also licensed to Centuri. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif Amazon.com has an all-in-one &quot;Best of Taito&quot; game console with Phoenix built in [also Space Invaders, Qix, Lunar Rescue, and Colony 7].

Game music that gets stuck in my head? The soundtrack from a mid-90's PC video pinball game called &quot;Toy Factory.&quot;

Led Zeppelin stairway to heaven,that song goes round and round in my head and i often end up singing it when i drive up and down the motorways in my lorry.

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for


Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
And you know sometimes words have two meanings
In the tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forest will echo with laughter

And it makes me wonder

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May Queen

Yes there are two paths you can go by
but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on

Your head is humming and it won't go because you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady can't you hear the wind blow and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our souls
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for


And she's buying a stairway to heaven.

My soon-to-be 13 year-old grandson came in the shack, jumped on my computer and pulled this up:

Now, I can't get the song or video out of my head. It's in Romanian, sheesh!

I got trapped at Disney during a severe line of T-storms and the park largely emptied. I was in the small world when the storm hit and to stay out of the weather, we ended up riding that $%^&amp;ed thing about five times--there was no one in line, out the exit and back into a boat.

The theme music to the &quot;Poirot&quot; mystery series. I've been watching some of these on DVD, and the tune continues to stick in my head.

If you've watched any of the &quot;Poirot&quot; episodes on PBS or A&amp;E or seen any of the feature movies, then you know to what I'm referring.

[N0KLT]

Every time I hear &quot;Sweet Home Alabama&quot; played it runs in my head for days. I love the song but it gets tiresome after awhile. The theme from The Pink Panther movies is just about as bad. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

There are many but Bob Dylan's knocking on heaven's door has been popular lately.

For my birthday my little sister ordered a copy of “A child's garden of grass” it is a comedy album from the late ‘60’s.

It is on a CD and was released by Rhino Records.

I have wanted a copy on any media for a very long time. Now I can die happy.

I also finally got a copy of the flying lizards “Money”

My happiness abounds.

[AG3Y]

The theme music from two movies,

&quot;The Longest Day&quot; and

&quot;The Great Escape&quot;

There, now you will be thinking about them for the rest of the day !

Ah yes, &quot;A Child's Garden of Grass.&quot; Didn't know anyone else even had it, much less admits to listening.

Let's see what we remember:

&quot;My baby, she's a, dirty dog an' she knows it...&quot;

&quot;Sorry coach, I slipped on the grass.&quot;

&quot;Beer beer beer,
Beer beer BEER,
Beer, Beer, Beer Beer BEER!&quot;

&quot;I just got back from a small town. The town was so small, when I plugged in my electric razor, the trolly stopped!&quot;

&quot;But there are certain types of music you must never, EVER listen to. Like, Myron Floren music...Or Dick Contino music...or...&quot;

(Err, Umm... not that I had any direct experience with any of this stuff or anything. This is just what I've been told.)

Yeah, and now i find it is a free download on real player.

go here and get the links to the mp3's

A child's garden of grass (http://www.theradiotrip.com/sections/audio/sound_bites/childs_garden_of_grass/index.html)

When the album first came out there was a little sticker onthe outside of the plastic that said:
&quot;Warning Do not listen to this album when stoned&quot;

Sure it is really old but funny is still funny no matter how old it may be.

I still get a bad case of David Bowie's Fame from time to time.

For me, it's usually &quot;Sound + Vision,&quot; &quot;Heroes,&quot; and/or &quot;Ashes To Ashes.&quot; Occasionally, also &quot;Starman.&quot;

One from the vault: &quot;I Will Love You Tomorrow&quot; by K.C. and the Sunshine Band. I don't think it was a radio hit - or ever got any airplay at all, for that matter - but it's an excellent song nonetheless. In the same vein, there's also &quot;I Haven't Stopped Dancing Yet&quot; by Gonzales.

I been trying to forget I ever heard Jonathan Colton's Code Monkey. If you too wish to infect your brain, then click on the link and look under &quot;Thing a Week III&quot; for the song.

I don't know why but I hear voices in my head more than stuck tunes. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Lately, it's &quot;Comfortably Numb&quot; by Pink Floyd. Not that it's a bad tune to get stuck in my head, mind you...unless it becames a head pain from hearing a constant refrain.

Have you heard the version by Dar Williams? It's better than Pink Floyd (and you'll NEVER hear me say that).

How about Tori Amos' version of &quot;Smells Like Teen Spirit?, or a CD called &quot;Dub Side Of The Moon&quot; by Easy Star All Stars? #&quot;Dub Side&quot; is a reggae version of &quot;Dark Side&quot;, dead-on perfect, and even the timing is perfect where you can synch it with &quot;The Wizard Of Oz&quot;!
