Oh, God, I hope that doesn't take root...

Damn you.

:bitching:

:D

Now that is an earworm. Perhaps you've already seen this video with the same music, if so, my apologies for the repetition. If not, enjoy!

Song Sung Blue by Neil Diamond.

Don't know why... It just sort of popped in my head. Going to have to play some Bob Seger and let the music Roll Me Away. ;)

I have no idea why this blast from '86 or '87 (ETA: ok, I was close, it was '89) is in mah haid:



Foreshadowing?

Especially for Dana!
 

The top 10 catchiest songs of all time (ETA: I swear to God that headline said '10' first time I saw it)...according to science. There are 20 songs on this list of 10. That's right, these scientific surveyors don't know the difference between 10 and 20, so, be sure to factor that gem into their results.:neutral:

For those too lazy (or busy) to click and read the link, here's the list (it's based on how fast the song was recognized):

Attachment 49501

rounding to the nearest twenty?

eta:
that doesn't make sense either. a mistake?

Man, I was just Johnny-On-The-Spot with this, wasn't I?:neutral:

I was only two days late...

Meh, one two punch. got 'em good. :thumb:

yeah!!

God, I'm in high school again.:bolt:

Surrender- Cheap Trick



So the Less than Jake version of this popped up on Pandora this morning. This song and I go way back, but for the first time I was the Dad making it with Mom on the couch. Mind blowing.

What movie was that Bangles tune from?

Let's ask Gravdigr, he probably went and saw it when he was in high school.

It's a Simon& & Garfunkel cover that was in "Less Than Zero".

Yes, I saw it. Everyone saw it.

It came out in '87 so some of us are too old to be target audience. Spader and McCarthy are both in it which is tricky since they're the same guy according to Pete.

The '66 Simon & Garfunkel original only ever peaked at #13 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The Bangles cover peaked at #2. I guess those high school kids knew a good thing ...

The Band Perry. Gentle on my mind. Remake of an old Glen Campbell, John Somebody. I heard this yesterday and all though the night.

Two songs by the same band, very different in character, but both fabulous, and both utterly lodged in my head for a couple days now. I present for your cellar listening enjoyment:

Hurray for the Riff Raff:
"The Body Electric" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KvXteZkByE
and
"Look Out Mama" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0g9nDsFHERM

:( Cant make the youtube embed work.

I spent the day with the very irritating Meghan Trainor "your lips are moving" stuck in my head.

So tonight I'm happy that that part of my brain has decided to get stuck on Ed Sheeran's "Thinking out loud". the rest of the fam, not so much ;)

Indian Moon
Chadwick Stokes of State Radio

Soul Coughing...... Super Bon Bon...

Dude!

wow. lurker level over 9000!!

:)

nice tuneage

Not to rehash ..but some things were meant ...This one is the awesomeness as well.

Too bad for Mrs. Fishbourne...

And another fave... let this dig in your mind ...or keep playing.....and go accomplish something...

This keeps coming up on youtube ads - so I finally went to check it out - and now it's stuck in my head.

I managed to dislodge the Albatraoz.

Now this is stuck in my head:

also: @ Scopulus: that is a classic, man.

Not really in my ear, but a bit of the Band, Fleetwood Mac. Now I'm in a Jerry Lee Lewis mood. Lets see 39 and holding, middle age crazy, you win again, I can't stop loving you. And the What Miulakue famous made a fool of me. Good night.

This. Because we doing it in the Brass Band. I'd just removed it after Wednesday's practice and it's been re-inserted by Mr Limey giving a lesson to a bandmember at Chateau Limey today ..

I used to love that song!
Until I loved it to death.

Thanks Limes. Now I gotta walk round with the corpse in my ear until tonight...

NO, NO, No way in hell am I clicking that Lou Bega number. That shit should come with a vaccine! Waaaay too damn catchy. Popdigr was hung up on that when it came out.

This has been bouncing around my haid for the last few days:

That opening solo is a thing of beauty.

Lou Bega - Mambo #5...I just learned that Mr. Bega's version isn't the original.

Perez Prado had Mambo #5 first, in 1949. Bega added words and modern beats. It's still hard to get out of the head.

This has been rattling around for a while, too.

Merle Haggard "Kern River":

Damn you Limey.
Because I don't even have Mambo Number 5 in my head now. I have Bob, the Builder Man.

What earworm songs are burrowing through your head today?
 

:D
If you like I can arrange for the Brass Band to play Mambo No. 5 on your birthday for you!

"A Comet Appears"

One hand on this wily comet,
Take a drink just to give me some weight,
Some uber-man I'd make,
I'm barely a vapor

They shone a chlorine light on,
A host of individual sins,
Let's carve my aging face off,
Fetch us a knife,
Start with my eyes,
Down so the lines,
Form a grimacing smile,

Close your eyes to corral a virtue,
Is this fooling anyone else?
Never worked so long and hard,
To cement a failure,

We can blow on our thumbs and posture,
But the lonely is such delicate things,
The wind from a wasp could blow them,
Into the sea,
With stones on their feet,
Lost to the light and the loving we need,

Still to come,
The worst part and you know it,
There is a numbness,
In your heart and it's growing,

With burnt sage and a forest of bygones,
I click my heels,
Get the devils in line,
A list of things I could lay the blame on,
Might give me a way out,

But with each turn,
It's this front and center,
Like a dart stuck square in your eye,
Every post you can hitch your faith on,
Is a pie in the sky,
Chock full of lies,
A tool we devise,
To make sinking stones fly,

And still to come,
The worst part and you know it,
There is a numbness,
In your heart and it's growing.

AND...




can't find those lyrics

In some ways this thread seems to act as an earworm exchange programme.

I come in here to deposit my current earworm - and I leave with one of yours ... I now have Back in a Hole running throgh my brain.

Which is ok - because at least it dislodged the song that's been on a loop in my head for the last 2 days. The music for the film Jumping off Bridges:

Lovely, I accept your exchange.

Flanagan & Allen's "Run, Rabbit, Run" - ever since I posted that damn rabbit video over in the "Wildlife, Living Next To Nature" thread...

Gravdigr, you bastard.

*Run, rabbit,run rabbit, run, run, run...........

I hate you.

yup. right on the list.

now I want to see that movie.

What I love about this song is that is celebrates the mundane. It's rather zen in a way, it reminds me of my teacher quoting Dogen: "Those who regard the mundane as a hindrance to practice only understand that in the mundane nothing is sacred; they have not yet understood that in sacredness nothing is mundane."


A police car and a screaming siren
A pneumatic drill and ripped up concrete
A baby wailing and stray dog howling
The screech of brakes and lamp light blinking

That's entertainment, that's entertainment

A smash of glass and a rumble of boots
An electric train and a ripped up 'phone booth
Paint splattered walls and the cry of a tomcat
Lights going out and a kick in the balls

That's entertainment, that's entertainment

Days of speed and slow time Mondays
Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday
Watching the news and not eating your tea
A freezing cold flat and damp on the walls

That's entertainment, that's entertainment

Waking up at six am on a cool warm morning
Opening the windows and breathing in petrol
An amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard
Watching the tele and thinking about your holidays

That's entertainment, that's entertainment

Waking up from bad dreams and smoking cigarettes
Cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume
A hot summer's day and sticky black tarmac
Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were far away

That's entertainment, that's entertainment

Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight
Two lovers missing the tranquillity of solitude
Getting a cab and travelling on buses
Reading the graffiti about slashed seat affairs

That's entertainment, that's entertainment

That was in Stranger than Fiction.

So was DanaC

Nice. Watching now. Thanks!

This one is for Limey.
Hahahahahaha....

I was against the baby boomer canonization of Brian Wilson, but it's been like 3-4 weeks since J so thoughtfully took us to the biopic "Love and Mercy", which is amazing, and goddamn, all I have to do is think of it. Is there no more timeless melody than this? There's just something about it. It's glorious and uplifting and yet slightly unresolved. The kid hit it out of the park. So canonize away. He deserves it.

Agreed! I played God Only Knows for a friend the other night.

And, just because on account of because it perfectly came up as the next track on the CD in my car at just the perfect moment for it to come up, without me having a clue it was coming...this has been on my mind:
