Earworm mashups: the thread for having multiple songs stuck in your head

I am sure this happens to other people. Two songs stuck in your head, one interwoven with the other in a natural way. They are never cool songs on my case. Today it was "Wouldn't It Be Loverly?" and "Have a Holly, Jolly Christmas" combined together.

Box of chocolates for me to eat,
Lots of coal making lots of heat
Warm face, warm hands, warm feet,
oh wouldn't it be lovely?
Ho ho, the mistletoe, hung where you can see
Somebody waits for you, kiss her once for me

The tempo of the Ives song was slowed to match the showtune's tempo. This happens to me all the time. Normally they are poppy, commercial song, or even jingles, not ones I really listen to on my own for fun. Once it was two v brief jingles together over and over, for hours – this will get stuck in my head again, but: "Don't you want a, want a Fanta? TV Funhouse! TV Funhouse!

So this is a thread for when this happens to you. Maybe you actually get a less ridiculous selection of tunes!

Yep the Odd Couple theme tune often swiftly sifts into the Imperial March from Star Wars for me, it sounds pretty good to be fair.

That is awesome!

This happens to me quite a lot, so that I'm babbling nonsense to myself as I cycle into work. I had a very odd one the other day where a Schumann song was mixed up in my head with Laurel and Hardy doing Trail of the Lonesome Pine - I think it was as much to do with how the Kathleen Ferrier recording sounded as the actual song.

I thought this was a weird thread but yesterday, I had this weird intertangling of George Harrison's "When We Was Fab" and the 70s-era SNL commercial for "Spud" beer

Earlier today I had a combination of The Eagles' Hotel California and Christopher Cross's Arthur's theme with bits of Any Dream Will Do from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat going through my head. It was horrendous.

I've had Miley Cyrus's Party in the U.S.A. stuck in my head, but my brain has interchanged the lyrics on the verses with Lita Ford's Kiss Me Deadly. Not sure how this has happened.

I often get an interflowing mixture of the instrumental themes from "Entertainment Tonight" and "Regis & Kathie Lee" stuck in my head:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZfBT2PNAFg&feature=related https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57ZODaEtRWw

Van Morrison's "Moondance" and the theme to the old Spiderman TV show....

Today it was the verses of "To the Pines, To the Pines" (as performed by Bascom Lamar Lunsford) with the chorus of "Goodnight, Irene" (as performed by leadbelly).

I used to have a three-song mashup that I couldn't get out of my head -- "Home on the Range," "White Christmas" and one that I can't remember anymore.

I feel bad that I forgot to capitalize Leadbelly's name but Bascom got 3x proper nouns. I have underlined the "l" on my monitor 3x to fix it. Hope that shows up for you guys.

Baaand on the run,

Baaand on the run,

....

Why can't-I-find a wo-man like that

Shaggy vs Fleetwood Mac

But she caught me on the counter (It wasn't me)
Saw me bangin' on the sofa (It wasn't me)
I even had her in the shower (It wasn't me)
She even caught me on camera
Aaaaahhhhhh.... I wanna be with you everywhere...

You know when I said: 'Yep the Odd Couple theme tune often swiftly sifts into the Imperial March from Star Wars for me' I was holding back...

I just realised it sometimes melts into an ambient breakdown consisting of the theme from Jurassic Park.

They're now pretty much the same track in my head, its like Double Dee and Steinski in here.

I used to get these a lot when they would play those commercials for "Hits of the 80s!!" comps, e.g:

kerr-ack that whip!
don't turn around, ah-oh
hold me now, whoaaa

I keep getting the verse lyrics from Common People mashed up with and sung along to the verses from Summer of '69 in my head.

She told me that her dad was loaded / bought it at the five and dime / she said fine, and in thirty seconds' time...

LONG nights! ImPOSSible odds!
And then I wonder why she sleeps with my FRIENDS!
The more you suffer, the more it shows you really CAAARE!

because I knooow there's somethin' goin' on

ahhahaa that's great!

The lyrics of "Washington Bullets" and the tune of "Come Dancing" -- get it out of my head!

i am deeply deeply ambivalent about this business model

Uh.. What the..

lol no WAY that is going to fly

Earlier today I had a combination of The Eagles' Hotel California and Christopher Cross's Arthur's theme with bits of Any Dream Will Do from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat going through my head. It was horrendous.

What are the odds? My most frequent earworm mashup is "Paint It Black" mixed with the chorus from "Go Go Go Joseph."

It must be an Andrew Lloyd Webber thing...

And whenever I think of Bela Fleck's "Flight of the Cosmic Hippo" it inevitably leads into the second eight from "Stolen Moments."

Ha, I remember telling friends in hs that I experienced this (Slint - "Good Morning Captain" + The Cure - "Pictures of You" iirc) and no one could relate at all.

Is this love, is this love, is this love that I'm feeling?
I'm high on believin'
That you're in love with me

I keep getting "We Can't Stop" mixed up in my head with Jessie J's "Price Tag".

Look in my eyes
There must be higher love
Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above
Without it, life is wasted time
I'm the cult of personality

Well, now some will call me Joe (dee diddily)
Some will call me Moe (dee deedily)
But that's the way I like it baby, I don't wanna live forever

my brain has spent the last 48 hours bouncing back and forth between "What a Fool Believes" and Migos "Chinatown" and it's getting kind of old tbh

Yesterday I got the lyrics to "Life During Wartime" jammed up with the melody for "Mr Roboto":

We dress like students!
We dress like housewives!
Or in a suit and a tie....
I've changed my hairstyle!
So many times now!
Don't know what I look like...
WHAT I LOOK LIIIIIIIIIIKE
WHAT I LOOK LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKE!

Noticed the other day that 'Girlfriend In a Coma' is remarkably similar to KC & the Sunshine Band's 'Give It Up'

Today my brain is tormenting itself with Manfred Mann's "5,4,3,2,1" over the top of Shiba San's - Okay. On loop. All day. Argh.

somehow i've nonsensically mashed the hooks from I Choose You and Close to You

we
are the crystal gems
we always save the day

and i think my spaceship knows which way to go

I've had a terrible one that pops into my head every morning when I turn on the light in the bathroom to get ready to take a shower. It starts out with (and I have no idea why I still remember this song) the chorus of Trace Adkins' "Every Light in the House", but it morphs into "Drops of Jupiter" somewhere along the way. It's awful.

every now and then i get something that swings between songs: ohia's 'just be simple' and kid rock's 'only god knows why'

here's a nightmare i've had
http://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/may/06/broken-record-syndrome-my-life-with-chronic-earworm

i had the verse melody of kylie minogue's "locomotion" and the theme song to twin peaks in my head for waaaaaaaay too long back in 2011-12ish? i thought i was going insane.

Alice Cooper "Levity Ball" and Jesus & Mary Chain "Snakedriver" is a not unpleasant one.

Also Nick Lowe "And So it Goes" into Steely Dan "Reelin' in the Years"

A simple prop
To occupy my time
This one goes out to the one I love
FIYAAAAAAAAAHHHHH...
Smoke she is a-rising!
Fiyah, yeah, smoke on the horizon
Smokestack lightning.

The main riff in REM's "Shiny Happy People" + the end of the first line of Petula Clark's "Downtown".

that article about the extreme earworm guy feels awfully familiar.

this is a great one, in my head anyway

I'm not sure how the Young Marble Giants and Frozen got mashed up in my head, but I'm not entirely displeased with the result:

do you wanna build a snowman
look a dealer in the eye
do you wanna build a snowman
won't you try?

(to the tune of 'Credit in the Straight World' and in Alison Statton's voice)

this is really, really stuck in my head:

also @unreg, that's great. I'm not sure I'll be able to unhear that.

where do old folks go when then die?
they don't go to heaven where the angels fly
can i take you to a restaurant that's got glass tables?
you can watch yourself while you are eating

haha yes

nice

lmao

almost invariably get two songs stuck in my head cycling into work. they're fairly arbitrary, not rly mashups. this morning Carolina chocolate drops and the everly brothers:

Well, tell me little baby do you think you're too sweet to die
WAKE UP LITTLE SUSIE WAKE UP LITTLE SUSIE jfc shut up already

Woah-oh, we're halfway there,
OO-OOH, heaven is a place on earth!
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
You make heaven a place on earth!

Said this elsewhere but Squeeze 'If I Didn't Love You' and Hum 'Ms Lazarus' is the one I always get, it's a lovely one too

This has been in my head since like 1995:

Despite all my rage I'm still just a rat in a cage/

Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends!

Don't Look Back / Killing Me Softly mash up happens every time i listen to either song now.

like, the boston song? always leads me to "free ride." kinda intense for "killing me softly"!

no, sorry:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zp8aIBXxMis
almost certainly intentional but very effective

that SP/Offspring one is amazing.

I still get "Why Don't You Get A Job" by the Offspring and "Ob-la-di Ob-la-da" mashed together in my head. The choruses are practically identical.

The lyric of "You're The One That I Want" over the tune to "Midnight Rider."

I remember
The thirty-five sweet goodbyes
You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy
It was still September
When your daddy was quite surprised
You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy
I was
Smokin' with the boys upstairs when I
Heard about the whole affair
I... Wanna rock and roll all night
And party every day

Told her that I came from Detroit City
And I played guitar in a long hair rock 'n' roll band
She asked me why the singer's name was Alice
I said, listen here, baby, you really wouldn't understand

It's the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues

Now Jack he is a banker
And Jane she is a clerk...

I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine in a bag
I'm useless but not for long
The future is coming on

Finally, someone let me out of my cage
On a playground is where I spent most of my days
Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school

ha I think about 50% of my earworms descend into that

That is the only rap song my son knows for some reason and he's always wandering around the house singing it.

Well, if you feel something heavy on your fishing hook
If you see a funny face in your comic book
Baby, it'll be me and I'll be looking for you

If you hear a thought calling out in the night
If you see somebody hanging from a lamp post bright
Baby, it'll be me and I'll be looking for you

Oh can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every breath you take

I'm living in the 21st century doing something mean to it
Dogs don't like the smell of your children
Lead asbestos lead asbestos lead asbestos lead asbestos lead as-21ST CENTURY SCHIZOID MAN

once in every lifetime
comes a love like this
i need you and you need me
oh my darling can't you see
o'er the red, white and blue
all the funny things you do
america, america, this is you

hahahah there was some other song recently that was leading me directly to that theme song but aggggh what was it?!

*opening bassline fr "papa was a rolling stone"*
*AY Ay ay! ozzy from "crazy train"*

indiana jones theme, a team theme

"Everybody Plays the Fool" and "Irreplaceable":

Ohhhhhh, heaven on earth is all you see
You're out of touch with reality
In the closet that's my stuff, yes
If I bought it please don't touch

You need to know I finally understand
And I gotta get in touch with you now
But I can't
I wish I could have made you happy

Cos underneat' it all
You are me real prince charmin'
Like the 'eat from the fire
You were always burnin'

they just played Nirvana's version of 'Man Who Sold The World' on the radio and as the final chord rang out I half expected Kurt to sing 'Only love...' just like Louis Armstrong does at the end of 'All The Time In The World'

Oops up side your head
I said get down on it
Oops up side your head
I said get down on it
Just because you don't believe that I wanna dance
By standing on the wall
Get your back up off the wall

Unbreak my heart
Say you love me again
Undo the hurt that you caused
When you walked out the door
Oh how I want to break free!

Unbreak my heart
Say you love me again
Uncry these tears that I cried
You're so self satisfied
I don't need you
God knows, God knows I want to break freee

woke up with a new one this morning:

Eighteen wheels and a do-zen roses/
Don't you know me, I'm your native son

this is from watching Better Call Saul and reading Alfred's blog on the Pretenders but

I don't wanna talk
About things we've gone through
Though it's hurting me
Now it's history
I've played all my cards
And that's what you've done too
Nothing you confess
Can make me love you less

The winner takes it all...

Then of course because of Steps it ends up as One for Sorrow, then unleashes a Steps megamix

Julian Lennon's 'Saltwater' and Wings' 'Live and Let Die'

We climb the highest mountain
We'll make the desert bloom
We're so ingenious we can walk the moon
But when I hear of how the forests have died
Say live and let die

Listen - I am either insane or this works perfectly - https://soundcloud.com/james-errington-769931947/saltwater-live-and-let-die

Hope I'm not ruining Saltwater for anyone!

The Wire theme song (S1) & Danzig "I'm the One"

"I'm Still Standing," but with the opening couplet replaced by "Let me tell y'all what it's like / bein' male, middle class and white" subbed in from Ben Folds's "Rockin' the Suburbs."

this is an actual sample, though

I woke up with my brain looping a few bars of Chet Atkins' "Alley Cat" + "Jingle Bell Rock"

this was not the way I wanted to start my day

When aiming to procure more potables at a local brewery, I quoted the chorus of Fairport Convention's masterpiece "Come All Ye" to those joining me, leading a friend to reply "Come All 'Ye'", as in Kanye?". Then, light-bulb moment - the 12/8 shuffle of Richard Thompson, Dave Swarbrick, and Sandy Denny is just perfect for the heavy 12/8 percussion, raps, and "ay-AHHH!" screams of the drum-and-voice-only sections of Kanye's "Black Skinhead"! Thanks to the wonders of Audacity, it wasn't too difficult to mash together (the tempos are damn-near identical).
"Come All 'Ye'!"

this is an actual sample, though

I wondered! Should've Whosampled it.

Neil Young, "Cripple Creek Ferry" and Mew, "The Zookeeper's Boy":

Hey hey, the cripple creek ferry
You have to climb to find its head

Remembered!!!! It's "I Only Want To Be With You" by Dusty Springfield.

The chorus of Rialto's "Untouchable", mashed with the opening verse of Janis Ian's "At Seventeen".

I still get “One Night in Bangkok with a Starship Trooper” from time to time.

xp - plus the crystal lake by grandaddy.

Intro of "Delta Dawn" by Helen Reddy, rolling into "Fat Bottomed Girls" at the moment the drums kick in.

^would smash

'In Framing' by The Hotelier into 'Poison Arrow' by ABC (specifically "Since your soles cramping up have been swollen and sore" into "No rhythm in cymbals, no tempo in drums")

Verse of "Love Lockdown," rolling into the chorus of "Love You Like a Love Song."

<gloomy organ intro>
Mr. Crowley,
Why don’t you come to your senses?
You been out ridin’ fences for so long now

At the moment in my head the verse of Mr Crowley goes into the last lines of the theme from "The Story Teller"

Sometimes there are tears
Sometimes there is laughter
But always
A happily ever after

Overhead the albatross
Hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand
Calls to mind a silver screen
And all its sad goodbyes

<gloomy organ intro>
Mr. Crowley,
Why don’t you come to your senses?
You been out ridin’ fences for so long now

Pac Man Fever/Cat Scratch Fever

Dean Friedman's "Ariel" and the theme song to The Snorks.

Jakob Bro - "Heroines"/Big Thief - "Capacity"

A team theme and Indiana Jones theme,trading off between melodic phrases

Currently spinning: Spoon’s “Everything Hits at Once” to the rhythm of “Crosseyed and Painless.”

Not quite the same but my brain is convinced that 'Everywhere' by Fleetwood Mac has the lyrics of Wannabe

If you want my future
Forget my past
If you wanna get with me you... better make it fast
Now don't go wasting
My precious time
Get your act together we will be just fine

How long, I wondered, could this thing last?
But the age of miracles hadn't passed

The moon is right

Jesus and his lawyer
Are coming back
Simply having a wonderful Christmas time

I haven't knowingly listened to Eels in at least 10 years so God knows where that came from

Life is hard
And so am I
Who can explain it?
Who can tell you why?

I'm singing 'Novocaine' to the tune of 'Wonderful Christmastime' and it almost works if you swap out a few words?

Life is HARD!
And so am I!
You better GIVE...
So I don't DIE

I knew this idiot in high school that though Champagne Supernova and Wonderwall were the same song.

He kept singing

I saw you walking down the hall
Faster than a cannonball
You're my Wonderwall

Sorry for mentioning Oasis, that was unacceptable

I think I do this one both ways:

D-d-d-danger watch behind you
There's a stranger out to find you
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world

And

There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do, I'll be right behind you
What to do, just grab onto some
DuckTales!

tears for fears covering ducktales theme would be something special

so anytime the Wolverhampton Wanderers win, a cartoon theme would play?

Hmm.

"Turn around / Stick it out / Even white boys got to shout / I've seen it all / Go[in'] down / The game of love was all rained out" sung to the pre-chorus of "Stayin' Alive" hasn't failed to enter my head 2-3 times a year since probably 1992.

haha fuck, that works

I'm lyin' alone
With my head on the phone
Thinkin of you til it hurts

Let me see you get low
Drop that ass to the flo'
Drop that ass, yea, shake it fast

To the tune of “Tom’s Diner”:

I was searchin’ for my mainline
Said I couldn’t hit it sideways
And it’s Rosie and Miss Rayon
Busy waitin’ for her booster
Just got back from Carolina
Said he didn’t like the weather
Said she’s bound to meet her sailor
Wants know way to earn a dollar
Yeah but Cecil’s got his new piece
And he aims it at the sailor
Don’t you know you shouldn’t do that
Don’t you know you’ll stain the carpet
But I haven’t got the time-time
Busy suckin’ on a ding-dong
And oh could it be the police
Come to take me for a ride-ride
And it’s just like Sister Ray said....

Run away, run away

But you ain't nobody
You ain't got no body
You're just a head
You’re just a pothead

I was not high
No I had not been drinking
When I saw a sight
I can't deny
I'm the king of wishful thinking

Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and then all his little brothers;

And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram

Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab had Naasson; Naasson begat Salmon; Salmon begat Booz of Rachab;

Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; And Jesse begat David the king; and oh it was a blessing

King David begat Solomon with the widow of Urias

They were all in love with dyin' and they were doin it in silence

And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia;

And Asa begat Josaphat; whose son Joram had Ozias;

They were all in love with dying they were drinkin' from a fountain

That is pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain

I don't mind the sun sometimes

The images it shows

I can taste you on my lips

And smell you in my clothes

Cinnamon and sugary

And softly spoken lies

You never know just how you look

You took a whole lot of loving
For a handful of nothing
Gypsies, tramps and thieves
It's hard to give you something
When you're pushing and a-shoving me around

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
Take a look at the five and ten, i'll get you alone some night
And baby you'll find you're messing with dynamite
So what do you wanna make those eyes at me for?
If they don't mean what they say

it is happening again

Skip skip skip babalu!

I had no idea where to put this, but it is fascinating and at least tangentially related:

https://gimletmedia.com/shows/reply-all/o2h8bx

Don't read the transcript, just listen, it's kind of amazing.

I don't know what it is that makes me love you so
I only know I never want to let you go
And all I ever knew
Only you

you’re out
on the street
lookin good
but baby, deep down in your heart you know that it ain’t right
now, me-now, me-now, me-now, me hear me, when i cry — and honey i cry all the time
well each time i tell myself that i
i can’t stand the pain........
but like a knife that cuts, the wound heals
and that scar, that scar will remain 🎶

By wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites

lollll

Huey Lewis’ The Power of Love and Hip to be Square have merged into one song in my mind.

That’s the power of love
here, there, and everywhere
That’s the power of love
hip, hip, so hip to be square
Can’t you feel it?

just now my brain connected Bob Seger's "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man" with Swamp Dogg's "Total Destruction To Your Mind" and i'm pretty sure it could be one awesome fuckin song

Goodbye Jimmy Reed
Though I never
Knew you at all

Every holiday season I'm reminded of how baldly Lou Rawls' "Christmas is the Time" lifts "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," and I hum them simultaneously.

Well I know a guy named Ramblin' Bob
He used to steal, gamble and rob
But don't worry
Be happy

people fall in love in mysterious ways
maybe just the touch of a hand - you-whooo-oooo
you may say that i'm a dreamer -
but i'm not the only one

les fleur vs katamari theme lately

wow, they're the same!

Earworm mashup from my childhood that came roaring back when my mom introduced my daughter to My Fair Lady last week and she was singing the songs around the house:

All I want is a room somewhere
Far away from the cold night air
And while he was handling that risky chore
Made himself a legend forever more
Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier

totoro theme
sinitta "so macho"

you monster

'speakin' out' and 'pledging my time'

i've been a searcher, i've been a fool / i've been a long time coming to you / i'm pledging my time / hoping you'll come through, too

good one

i have an awful one right now which is "mellow yellow", that "trying to build a prison" thing by system of a down, and "Black coffee" by black flag
trynabuild a prison trynabuild a prison trynabuild a prison and stare at the walls, that's right

We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
When a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung

Clinic "Distortions" and Andy Kim "Baby I Love You" --- no specific moment of connection, just shared vibes and maybe key/chords?

Do you belive in life after love
I can hear a voice inside me saying
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back any more
I don't care what they're going to say
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway

verse lyrics of "Video Killed the Radio Star" to the tune of the verse of "Heat of the Moment" :

And now we meet in an ab-an-doned stu-di-oooo
We hear the playback and it seems so long a-gooo

I heard you on my wireless back in fifty-two
The disco hotspots hold no charm for you

also, one i keep forgetting to post tho it's happened to me dozens of times: the intro to "Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard" flowing into and out of the main riff of "Last Night a DJ Saved My Life"

What becomes of the brokenhearted
Came to shit
But only farted

^^^ lol this exact sequence comes to my mind basically every time i see bathroom door poetry of any kind

The Ronettes recorded a song called "Here I Sit" where the first line is actually "Here I sit, brokenhearted" making it absoutely impossible not to mentally complete the lyric. But I assume Phil Spector intended that to happen as a little joke. (The song was scotched as a single release in 1965 but has appeared on official releases subsequently).

hmm. a songwriting inside joke just waiting to reach Paul McCartney on "Treat Her Gently - Lonely Old People"

on the other hand, aiui the shirelles demo “here i sit, buns a-flexin” was not actually in fact about squeezin out another texan

Dear god, hope you get the letter and
I pray you can make it better down here
Gobble me, swallow me, drip down the side of me (yeah)
Quick, jump out 'fore you let it get inside of me (yeah)

Apparently this is how my brain thinks Michael Bivins’ breakdown in Motownphilly goes now:

Now check this out, one day back in Philly
Four guys wanted to sing, they came up to me I said
"Well what's your name?" (Boys II Men!)
Hey, ya know what I'm sayin'?
Action took place (hey)
Kinda wet (c’mon)
Don't forget
The J the I the M the M the Y y'all
I need a body bag

Oh no!

this belongs in a misheard lyrics thread instead but just to follow up on your mashup, epistantophus, when I was a kid and that song was everywhere, I thought it was

Now check this out, one day back in Philly
Four guys, one of 'em silly

And henceforth it shall ever be when I listen to the song

Currently in my head:

That's when I reach for my revolver /
That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia

Daniel Johnston/Camper Van Beethoven

Some things last a long time
So, take the skinheads bowling take them bowling

We don't need no satisfaction

Place for street fighting maaaan

and I need you to hold me tight

all I have to do is dream

For the last week I've had the lyrics of Paperback Writer to the tune of Temporary Secretary stuck in my head.

ohhhhh... they're kind of the same song aren't they?

i've come to that conclusion, yes.

I saw you on the poster, your song is the bomb and you're outrageous (sure)
I see you're living' large with your crib and your cars and that's just great, but
Like "Oh my God, who is she?"
I get drunk on jealousy
But you'll come back each time you leave
'Cause you can't handle me

ha!

oh yeah

One that goes two separate ways:

Beautiful South- Funny how quick the milk turns sour, isn't it, isn't it?
Your face has been looking like that for hours, hasn't it, hasn't it?

Wedding bells just turn to rust

Madonna's "La Isla Bonita", Lady Gaga's "Alejandro", and ABBA's "Fernando" sometimes blur together into one song in my head.

Electronic "Getting Away With It" / Psychedelic Furs "Love My Way"

Sunday is gloomy
My hours are slumberless
Dearest the shadows
I live with the numberless
Little white flowers
Tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Madonna's "La Isla Bonita", Lady Gaga's "Alejandro", and ABBA's "Fernando" sometimes blur together into one song in my head.

― Sequel to Sadness (Sund4r),

I would swap out "Fernando" for "Bailamos", but pretty much

Well, she does say "Fernando" in "Alenjandro"

I was just reminded of "Nobody's Fool" by Cinderella and when trying to remember it, it fused with "Screwing Yer Courage" by Team Dresch in my head: "I count the falling tears, they fall before my eyes/Just like so much corn in late July"

My boyfriend's back
And you're gonna be in trouble
But when you worry you make it double
Don't worry
Be happy

The Devil went down to Georgia

julee cruise "into the night" & the magmaesque funk vamp from the OG 1980s "She-Ra"

That time then and once again
I'm bouncing 'round the room
That time then and once again
...and all the Philly steaks you can eat

to be fair, you really can mentally put "and all the Philly steaks you can eat" at the end of pretty much any stanza in pop music

And I encourage everyone to do so

In the day, we sweat it out on the streets
Of a runaway American dream
At night, we ride through mansions of glory
...and all the Philly steaks you can eat

bingo

Do you have the time
To listen to me whine
About nothing and everything all at once?
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone, no doubt about it

TOUT TOUT POUR MA CHERIE, MA CHERIE
TOUT TOUT POUR MA CHERIE, MA CHERIE

For some reason I hear just enough melodic similarity in "Hold Me Now" and "Here, There, and Everywhere" that I inadvertently mash these lyrics up:

You say I'm a dreamer, we're two of a kind
Both of us searching for some perfect world
We know we'll never find

Each one believing that love never dies
Watching their eyes
And hoping I'm always there

Don't turn around
Der Kommissar's in town
Can't touch this

when you're sliding into first
and you feel something burst
Maybe it's the best thing for you
But it's the worst that could happen to me

Watched the Sparks movie and now have a medley of I Married Myself/Under The Table With Her/Tips For Teens bouncing around my head.

I've been doing this with "Whoomp! There It Is" and "Boom Boom Boom" as of recent.

Robbery, assault and battery
Live together in perfect harmony

Tank fly, boss walk, jam nitty gritty
You're listening to the boy from the big bad city
This is jam hot
This is jam hot

Friends tell me I am crazy
That I'm wasting time with you
But the rhythm is gonna get ya

(Could also go in the songs that sound like each other thread)

I always like to pretend it's "The Griffin is gonna get ya". Much scarier

lol

Not quite a mashup, but the words "Screaming Like a Baby" to the tune of "Treat Her Like a Lady."

Donny Hathaway - This Christmas, but the jazzy turnaround after the chorus drops straight into the theme from Taxi.

This has been plaguing me all week

I can hear it!

Yesterday it was these two songs: Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks - Vanessa From Queens / the Boo Radleys - Charles Bukowski Is Dead. They must be in roughly the same key and tempo because I started thinking of one and then the middle eighth from the other kind of interrupted it. Not sure which one though

One song only--this is the only thread for earworms.

I was subbing for a music teacher two days last week, and she had a number of YouTube clips lined up for singing and for boomwhackers. One of the singing clips for half the classes was Bruno Mars "Count on Me" Nice song, please, please leave me alone.

i wanna to live with a cinnamon girl
live in a big white house
in the forest

"The Night Chicago Died" by "Paper Lace" and......"Dangerous Jade" from Evita

In the heat of a summer night
In the land of the dollar bill
When the town of Chicago died
And they talk about it still

The evidence suggests
They have other interests
If it's her who's using him
He's exceptionally dim

The Flaming Lips and the Chi-Lites:

From this moment on
Blaring like a trumpet
Tell me have you seen her?

The confidence of knowing!
Tell me have you seen her?
Struggle to believe it's so

Sweet Georgia Brown into Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas...

Yes “Roundabout” and The Miracles “Love Machine”… they have similar opening licks, just before the vocals, which makes them very swappable in the head.

Metallica and Joe Esposito

Down in the depths of my fiery home
The summons bell will chime

Try to believe, though the going gets rough
That you gotta hang tough to make it

A Chorus Line's "Dance Ten, Looks Three" and Ice Cube's "When Will They Shoot?"

Tits and ass won't get you jobs
Unless they're yours

Didn't cost a fortune neither
Didn't hit Da Lench Mob either

my kid was singing "who let the dogs out?" very slowly and now "who let the dogs out / who who who" has replaced "i read the news today, oh boy" from a day in the life

lol

i see i already mentioned my weird twin peaks/locomotion hang-up, which was in my head for years. i am so glad that time is over.

another one that lasted years on end was Bobby Darin's "Splish Splash" with Eddy Grant's "Electric Avenue". just one part, over and over:

"Splish splash, I was taking a bath / and then we'll take it higher"

i have no idea how this happened but it drove me insane

Hahaha I love it

Bring me a higher bath

Every time I hear “Waterloo Sunset” the lyrics from “Eleanor Rigby” try to horn themselves into the melody:

Look at him wor-king
Darning his socks in
The night when there’s no - one there

Father Mac-KEN-zie
Wiping the dirt from
His hands as he walks - from the graaave

Got my occasional "I've been walking in the rain just to get on purpose..." over 'Touched By The Hand Of God' again this morning

lol at "Waterloo Rigby"

I get "What is Life" -- "Bang a Gong (Get it On)" a lot.

Bang a Gong

Baby don't hurt me

Lol

This morning my ADHD ear worms have decided it’s perfectly normal to loop the old Club Biscuit advert song combined with SFA ‘Rings Around The World’

“If you like
a lot of chocolate on your
RINGS AROUND THE WORLD”

It has been hours, send help

RINGS AROUND THE WORLD and I-I-I
I can't find my chocolate

This was actually in a show I watched but it remains in my head:
Crash test dummies: Mmm mmm mm mmm
Mmmm mmm mmm mmm
Video games

I think there are a ton of these on the original Video Games thread though, including the unforgettable 'kickin' in the front seat, sitting in the back seat, video games'.

I was listening to my 80s playlist and Kiss’ deeply cheesy “Forever” morphed into Heart’s “What About Love?” (In my head not in the playlist bc I had it on shuffle)
I was curious if they had the same songwriter and learned the Heart song is a cover!! News to me.

I didn't know that either. mostly cos their hits were largely being written by professional songwriters then and it sounds so much like those songs I didn't realize a band wrote it. interesting!

(I have a soft spot for those Heart ballads, as generic as they were, mostly cos Ann Wilson could make any material sound good)

me too, I have "will you be there in the morning" on my car playlist at the moment!

I do not like either of these songs, but Tony Orlando and Dawn’s “Knock Three Times” morphs into Styx’s “Lady” thusly:

“Knock three times on the ceiling if you want me
Once on the pipe
And my troubles all fade…”

No he don't give a fuck about anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself

My band started jamming on Men Without Hats’ “Pop Goes the World” tonight and I couldn’t remember any of the lyrics so I subbed in the verses from Jim Carroll’s “People Who Died.” It worked pretty well, actually.

Cloudless, every day you fall upon my waking eyes
Inviting and inciting me to rise

... Jai guru deva, om

It ain't what you do / It's the way that you do it
Ayyy Macarena!

In my head there is one seamless song that goes

Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me
The daring young man on the flying trapeze
With his ears cut short and his tail cut long
I do hope that dog is for sale

richard dawson "jogging", polvo "feather of forgiveness" & deep space 9 feem choon all coming together

I remember when we used to sit
In a government yard in trenchtown
I was feeling kinda seasick
The crowd called out for more

Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Nights alone by your side

(second one is opus 40 by mercury rev)

Good one!

There she was just a walkin' down the street singin'
Daylight come and me wan' go ho-ome
Snappin' her fingers and shufflin' her feet, singin'
Daylight come and me wan' go home

You’re on a roll, my friend.

I told you about the walrus and me, man
You know we're as close as can be, man
Well here's another clue for you all
The walrus was Paul.

I told you about the seether before
You know the one that's neither or nor
Well here's another clue if you please
The seether's Louise...

i'm aware the latter is an homage but because of it I always hear one right after the other in my head

I've been listening to Alice Cooper's Killer lately, but Under My Wheels

(didn't mean to press Submit!)

Under My Wheels has been getting mixed up with the Phish song Wolfman's Brother.

The telephone is ringing
That's when I handed it to Liz

1, 2
3 and to the 4
That's what I said now
Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre are at the door
Just go ahead now

Ain't nuttin' but a g thang baby
Just go ahead now

whoa!

fugazi/ the1975/butthole surfers threefer:
Stay away from that window
Its not anyone
We know only about ourselves
And what we read in the paper
Don't you know ink washes out easier than blood
And I know when you're around 'cause I know the sound
I know the sound, of your heart
Well I know when you're around 'cause I know the sound
I know the sound of your starts talking nickelback, diamondback, mustard pack yea hea whoa whoa, yea yea whoa whoa there's a creep in the cellar and I’m gonna let him in.

[marquee moon intro]
I'm headin' down the Atlanta highway
Lookin' for the love getaway
Headed for the love getaway

^Someone make this mashup NOW plz

Crossin' the highway late last night
Now I'm in the limelight cos I rhyme tight
He didn't see the station wagon car
Ya never thought that hip hop would take it this far

Tommy used to work on the docks
Burning like a silver flame

Do the Trouser Press
Do the Eye-Gouge

omg at marquee shack

I made a mashup but I don't have the skill or time to do it very well, it's awful and might ruin both songs for you for life. I'll post it tomorrow.

stoked

just one verse and chorus. apologies to your ears.

https://soundcloud.com/tom-ledger-856685563/marquee-shack

Mashup rough as guts, but the combo works better than it has any right to.

wowie. the first half of the chorus is my favorite part; that really clicks!

From the halls of Montezuma
To the shores of Tripoli
We fight our country's battles
In the air, on land, and sea
Una Paloma Blanca ….
I’m just a bird in the sky!

Raindrops are fallin' on my head
They keep fallin'

And may your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I like the way they walk
And it's chill to hear them talk
And I can always make 'em smile
From White Castle to the Nile

... baby shark

Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to, do you have to
Do you have to let it linger

the "ilx covers" record I want to hear most is "Now that's what I call Earworm Mashups!"

sorry, that post probably belongs at 'your terrible ideas'

Nah, it’s a gooder.

Galveston oh Galveston
Travellin' and livin' off the land
Galveston oh Galveston
How I love being a free man

I remember to this day
The bright red Georgia clay
And how it stuck to the tires after the summer rain
And I dream of the things I'll do
With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe
There'll be a load of compromisin'
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me

Which leads me to think there must be a Galveston/Rhinestone Cowboy one

The first mate he got drunk
And broke in the Cap'n's trunk
The constable had to come and take him away
Now I'll never forget the day
We motored stately into big L.A.
The lights of the city put settlin' down in my brain

I am just a Dog Named Boo Stan account at this point

Used to be my homie
used to be my ace
now I wanna slap the taste out your mouth
N**** bow down to the Row
fuckin me, now I'm fuckin you lil hoe

I need you by me
to guide me
to hold me
to scold me
cos when i'm bad i'm so so bad

so let's dance the last dance
tonight

now understand this my N*** Dre can't be touched
Luke's bendin' over cos Luke's gettin fucked
Will you be my Mr. Right?
Can you fill my appetite?
I can't be sure that you're the one for me
All that I ask is that you dance with me

That B52's bootleg upthread sent me off on a B52's acapella ripping fest via moises.ai. So it turns out that 'Party Out Of Bounds' works far too well with M-Beat ft General Levy - Incredible. Thought I may as well post here as its this threads fault these 2 exist:

https://soundcloud.com/user-101843311-553307970/sets/levy-meets-the-52s-uptown

Apologies all in advance

I believe you're doing me wrong and now I know
(she can't help it, the girl can't help it)
I believe you're doing me wrong and now I know
(she can't help it, the girl can't help it)
the harder I work the faster my money goes
(she can't help it, the girl can't help it)

I never thought I could feel this way
And I got to say that I just don't get it.
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feelings gone
And I just can't get it back.

I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I'll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity

OMG I have not opened this thread recently. Everything about the TV-52s mashup had me laughing until I cried. Kudos, Ledge.

And art with Verlaine and Co. riding in the Chrysler was the icing on the cake.

I can't hear 'The Last Man on Earth' by Wolf Alice without my brain simultaneously playing Wake Up by Arcade Fire. Can anyone do an irl mashup of these please? (I'm not a huge fan of the Arcade Fire song but it's like an itch that needs scratching). The 'ahhh' bits of Wolf Alice segue into the shouty bits 'we're just a million little gods' of Wake Up.

At every verse-end of "Chosen to Deserve" by Wednesday, it feels about to turn into

Just touch my cheek before you leave me, angel

YOU KNOW YOU’VE GOT IT!
If it makes you feel goo-ood

idk if there's an actual thread, but one of my friends just posted a mash-up of "Barbie Girl" and "A Cruel Angel's Thesis". it's, uh. a thing.

machadaynu over danny tanaglia's "I Feel Loved" is in my head now tho.

'Blurred Lines' but it's 'Ball Tongue' by Korn

I had to learn "Put Your Hand in the Hand" for my Dad's memorial and I said in advance I would be using a music stand with the words as I'm bad at memorizing lyrics, especially when nerves get involved, but mostly I had the chorus memorized.

but now for whatever reason I can't remember part of the chorus and in my head it goes "Put your hand in the hand of the one who killed the mother". like the latter part is clearly from another song but I don't know what one, lol.

will xpost this to songs that sound the same but...

1992 Drop Nineteens "Kick The Tragedy"
2002 Chemical Brothers "Star Guitar"
