Songs stuck in your head?

[coleslaw]

What songs have you had stuck in your head recently? Also, was this a good thing or a bad thing? You know, did you care if you couldn't get the song out of your head?

Me:

"Tom's Diner" by Suzanne Vega

I guess this was an OK song to have stuck in my head because I heard it on the radio a few years ago and I remembered thinking that it was pretty cool. I didn't hear it again until just a few days ago when I overheard someone saying that they had the song stuck in THEIR head. I had never been able to figure out the name of the song or the artist, so I was pleased when I heard them mention it. However, after acquiring the song, I too have it stuck in my head! :P

"Elmo Song" by, obviously, Elmo

Don't ask. It's annoying and it just won't go away.

"Don't Worry, Be Happy" by Bob Marley et al.

Not really the whole song, but mainly the refrain and the "whistling" part. When I'm working in the lab, someone will play that song on purpose because they know that it always gets stuck in my head and pisses me off! :P

[Freelance Superhero]

hmmm... this is potentially a dangerous thread... :shifty:
i only clicked into it because i saw there were no replies, but DAMMIT if i don't have "tom's diner" stuck in my head now!

ARGH, COLESLAW!! ARGH, I SAY!!!

as for me:

"Planet Rock" by Afrika Bambaataa - just that synthesized musical part... you know, doo doo doo-doo, doo-doo doo-doo...

Goldfish jingle - "i love goldfishes cuz they're soooo delicious! goooone gold-fiiishinnnn!"

"Bandages" by Hot Hot Heat - ARGH I HATE THIS SONG!

[Napoleon54]

Right now it's The Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot. Good tune. Some of my neighbors busted out guitars at a picnic last week, and this is one of the songs they were playing. It's inspired me to download a few more tracks and consider buying this (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005YW4N/qid=1054341602/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_1/102-0751687-9576132) album. Got a gift card from Media Play to use up.

[revil]

that "we all live in a yellow submarine" song by the beatles, but just take the "yellow submarine" part and put it on repeat. it's been doing that since the early 80's....

Well if it's a disease, then you've infected me. There's so many DDR songs I can never seem to get out of my head....

Sakura
Legend of Max (help me now)
happy wedding
colors
..and way too many to list.

Of course, today I was listening to the new Dancemania SPEED G disc, and there's a few catchy tunes there.

[johnnymk]

I have really bad tinnitus, so I make sure that I have a song floating in my head at night. It's the only way I can fall asleep. If I had to listen to the constant ringing, I would go nuts.

[mojo]

afaik, "don't worry, be happy" was by bobby mcferrin.

but anyways, at the moment i have "landslide" by stevie nicks. actually for the past 3 or 4 days. it's not necessarily bad tho, considering there's a good chance i have a song stuck in my head at any given time, and it's sometimes a pretty bad one :P

Yeah, but the Marley version is the one that I have stuck in my head. The whistling part may be from McFerrin's original, but the lyrics are definitely being sung by Marley. That's what I meant by "et al", man! :bandit:

[Memo]

Transplants - Diamonds and Guns
The White Stripes - Girl You Have No Faith in Medicine

You know, i was obsessed with that portion of the song after Puff Daddy sampled it for the dance sequence for his video P.E. 2000. LOL. sorry, random, i know.

Songs that are stuck in my head:

Daniel Bedingfield - if you're not the one

[ApltnHkyMutt]

Match Box 20 - Long Day (Acoustic)...

and

Some PinaColada song

[Showtime]

"Just breathe" and that other song from that other car commercial.

telepopmusik?

[DaFunkyUnit]

Recently:
In Deep - Last Night a DJ Saved my Life

The reason why that song is stuck in my head is coz its on the radio in Vice City ;)


Now, I have this one song stuck in my head, but I don't know the name of the tune. If any of you G|A'ers out there have seen the DJ documentary "Scratch," its the song that DJ ZTrip demontrates (its on the bonus disc of the DVD).

btw, I saw ZTrip, GrandWizard Theodore and MixMaster Mike in concert the other night. It was freakin' unbelievable! :thumb:

[Devhux]

EEEEEK! Now I've got the most crazy, "happy" hardcore track stuck in my head. Must stop listening to these crazy Dancemania Speed discs.

Granted, when I woke up, I couldn't get Unwell (Matchbox 20) out of my head -- that was way better than now.

[ski]

Unwell by Matchbox 20 has been in my head for this past week... stupid relationship drama ;) But rest assured, I'm not crazy. I'm just a little unwell :heh:

just a bit of trivia for you: that part of the song was taken from the song Transeuro Express by german avantgarde techno artists Kraftwerk. Supposedly, that melody was taken from some classical piece of music (a Grieg concerto or something like that)

(i took a history of techno music class. :D )

[RoniMan]

the grease megamix.

my best friend wanted to film a video short for his wedding, and so we had to lip-synch to the megamix...

tell me more...
tell me more...
did you get very far?

[Showtime]

If my mind was a radio station, this is some of what you'd hear:

Deuce,deuce revolver was my problem solver
Had a def girl,really didn't wanna involve her
In the life of a gangster,use to rob bankster
But now I'm locked up,I'm just a punk low rankster
Jail cells know me too damn well
Seems like I've built on earth my own personal hell
No matter how high I climbed,somehow I always fell
I guess a lot of players got this story to tell
No matter how cold you roll you simply cannot win
It's always fun in the beginning
pain in the end.
-IT

Can't keep a steady hand because I'm nervous
Every Sunday morning I'm in service
Playing for forgiveness
And trying to find an exit out of the business
I know the Lord is looking at me
But yet and still it's hard for me to feel happy
I often drift while I drive
Havin fatal thoughts of suicide
BANG and get it over with
And then I'm worry-free, but that's b---****
-GB

Old pirates yes they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the Almighty
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly
All I ever had, is songs of freedom
Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom
-BM

I Can't Remember Anything
Can't Tell If this Is True or Dream
Deep down Inside I Feel to Scream
this Terrible Silence Stops Me
Now That the War Is Through with Me
I'm Waking up I Can Not See
That There Is Not Much Left of Me
Nothing Is Real but Pain Now
Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death
Oh Please God,wake Me
-M

Walkin' tall machine gun man
They spit on me in my home land
Gloria sent me pictures of my boy
Got my pills 'gainst mosquito death
My buddy's breathin' his dyin' breath
Oh god please won't you help me make it through
Here they come to snuff the rooster
Yeah here come the rooster, yeah
You know he ain't gonna die
No, no, no ya know he ain't gonna die
-AiC

i hurt myself today
to see if i still feel
i focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but i remember everything
what have i become?
my sweetest friend
everyone i know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
i will let you down
i will make you hurt
-NiN

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over.
Why can't we drink forever.
I just want to start things over.
I am just a worthless liar.
I am just an imbecile.
I will only complicate you.
Trust in me and fall as well.
I will find a center in you.
I will chew it up and leave,
I will work to elevate you
just enough to bring you down.
-T

So I held my head up high hiding hate that burns inside which
only fuels there selfish pride
We're all held captive out from the sun
A sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one
I hear a thunder in the distance see a vision of a cross
I feel the pain that was given on that sad day of loss
A lion roars in the darkness only he holds the key
A light to free me from my burden and grant me life eternally
Should have been dead on a Sunday morning banging my head no time for
mourning ain't got no time

[StonedWheat]

There's this really obscure song by Belle & Sebastian called "Get me away from here, i'm dying" that i've been humming for the past month or so. I think it's starting to make me depressed.

[Joshua]

The theme from "Greatest American Hero".

...Believe it or not, I'm walking on air...

[jonEwantsM3]

Johnny Rivers - Secret Agent Man

[ufcrusher]

Nothing is stuck in my head right now..but i had Blue Man Group Up to the Roof in there for a while earlier.

Now, on a funny note...the year is 1995...the place the Mann Music Center in Philly for the first ever Honey Brown Lager Y100 Festival (What is now the Fezztival that some went to at the E-center last week)...my friends and I are pulling in to the parking lot listening to Nine Inch Nails Pretty Hate Machine I believe it was Head Like a Hole. I just told my friends that I have had this damn song stuck in my head all weak and I just keep listening to it over and over to get it out of there. So we are listening and singing along when suddenly my friend turns to me and says, what did you say. I repeated what I had just sung....and he says, Ufcrusher....those are the wrong words! Apparently I had the wrong words in my head for an entire week.

on another note, i was at the fez last week - in the pit, baby! crowd went wild when audioslave came on. moshing, and crowdsurfing galore. i actually have small clips and some pics of it too. i have to remember to upload them soon...
good times!

Actually, I believe he called me Fluffy Dog...no joke.

[molecularfire]

I get different songs stuck in my head all the time. The one currently in my head right now is Bob Seger and Martina McBride - Chances are.

Ha Ha.... should have seen that one coming. Its actually my friend making fun of me for calling an error while we were hacking (hackey sack)....he had never heard it before so he thought I was making it up and starting calling me that as a teasing nick name.

[eSDee]

I've had that Wingman song in my head for about a week. Not to mention that babe on the dance floor dancing in my head as well :naughty:

Btw, I can't think of any Bob Marley songs where he whistles :confused:

[OC]

Marilyn Manson - This is the New Sh\t

[coleslaw]

I don't think it's only him whistling (or if he is even whistling at all), but it's at the beginning of "Don't Worry, Be Happy".

[RoniMan]

the friends song...

my gf and i are watching seasons 2 and 3 on DVD, i have to fast forward thru the theme song. that is REALLY annoying.

urge to kill...rising.

[mojo]

after like 4 or 5 days of landslide, i finally flushed it out. unfortunately it's been replaced with jewel kilcher's "down so long" :|

why jewel?! it's always jewel :mad:

[mojo]

scratch that. it's "hands" by jewel kilcher :|

last night, it was "hey joe" by hendrix.

but now, thanks to this thread, i have jewel's "hands", white stripe's "girl, you have no faith in medicine", and AiC's "Rooster" going :D

Right before you got that song in your head, did you have a corn dog....or maybe creamed corn...or possibly corn on the cob? :P

THAT IS ONE OF THE CORNIEST SONGS I EVER HEARD

[Devhux]

Now I've got "Country Road" by John Denver stuck in my head. :)

Rush is a much better band.
i doubt it :P

both are great bands, but they're doing two entirely different things. so i think it's impossible to say that one is "better" than the other.

I saw a very lenghty thread (at least 5 or 6 pages) over at another forum full of little 12-year-olds arguing that Linkin Park is a better band than Pink Floyd. :rolleyes:

No, I'm saying, as previously stated, that comparing two bands that are totally different is very difficult to do.

I wasn't trying to liken Pearl Jam to Linkin Park or Rush to Floyd.

[molecularfire]

Odd... the song "in the end" from linkin park is in my head today (and that was before I read this thread). :)

[guiseppewv]

"Californication" -- Red Hot Chili Peppers

Not too bad of a song to have stuck in your head.

[mojo]

"hammering in my head" by garbage

...which was actually influenced by the thread title...if you wondered. it worked its way in there like over the past few days, toppling the other resident songs :P

[guiseppewv]

This morning I had "The Bitch is Back" in my head. It is gone now. :)

[mojo]

for some reason dmx' "party up in here" sneaks in at the end of some of these songs :hmm:

[nickel]

usually the last song i hear gets stuck in my head.

"lifestyles of the rich and the famous, they're always complainin' always complainin'"

[Napoleon54]

The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army

It's been in my head since I first heard it on Tuesday. It has a great beat that won't go away. Oddly, I'm not sick of it yet.

[mojo]

meatloaf: two out of three ain't bad

[WhiskeyPapa]

For several weeks it's been "Black Betty" by Ram Jam. I watched "Kung Pow" again and that dang song won't leave my head!
