So what tune have you got stuck in your head today?

swans "why are we alive?"

sorry to be a downer

brenda done died with no name
nickel-bag coke to the brain
will they ever find the vaccine?
shitty-damn-damn-baby bang
rich man got the double-barrel
poor man's got his back to the door
code white stands for trouble
shots from the po-po (blaat blaat)

Time takes a cigarette
Puts it in your mouth
You pull on your finger, then another finger, then your cigarette
The wall-to-wall is calling, it lingers, then you forget.
Oh, ho, ho, ho, you're a rock n' roll suicide.

You're too old to lose it
Too young to choose it
And the clocks waits so patiently on your song
You walk past past the cafe, but you don't eat when you live too long
Oh, no, no, no, you're a rock n' roll suicide.

BECAUSE YOUR KISS

(Your kiss is on my list)

BECAUSE YOUR KISS!

(Your kiss I can't resist)

BECAUSE YOUR KISS IS ON MY LIST

look up

doo, doo,do, doo, doo, do, do,do do do
doo, doo,do, doo, doo, do, do,do do do
doo, doo,do, doo, doo, do, do,do do do

Do the Ayatollah .... ah yeah

"Wedding Bells" by Godley & Creme. No idea why, haven't heard it for over 20 years.

It's business, it's business time...

y'all ready for this?

i got 21 seconds to go
i got 21 seconds to go
so if you langylennyknow when you're in the studio
i got 21 seconds before i have to go
can you hear me in the studio? woah no
can you hear me in the studio? oh no
so if you langylennyknow when you're in the studio
i got 21 seconds before i have to go
21 seconds... huh huh huh
21 seconds... huh huh huh
21 seconds... huh huh huh
21 seconds... huh huh huh

Meeting Mister Ri-ight, the man of my dreams
The one who showed me true love, or at least it seems
With brown coco skin, and curly black hai-air
It's just the way he looks at me, that gentle lovin' stare
Finally-y!! you come alo-o-ong!
The way I feel about you, it just can't be wro-ong
If you only kne-ew the way I feel about you-ou
I just can't describe i-it, oh-no-no

Why must you always be around?
Why can't you just leave it be?
You've done nothing so far but destroy my life
You cause as much sorrow dead
As you did when you were alive

HEY! HEY! YOU! YOU! I DON'T LIKE YOUR GIRLFRIEND!

Too Far Gone - EC

i woke up from a dream with china girl in my head this morning.

Are we, are we, are we, are we facing the end of all the medicine we're taking?

Won't you please let me go
These words lie inside they hurt me so
And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you
Just what I want to do
I'm not the kind that needs to tell you
Just what you want me to

I saw you this morning
I thought that you might like to know
I received your message in full a few days ago
I understood every word that it said
And now that I've actually heard it
You're going to regret

'Aaaah Ah! Cause des garcons! [something in French that I can hum but not sing]Ah! Cause des garcons!'

mixing in with

'What a differnce a day makes [swirly strings] 24 little hours...'

Since last night, coming & going & coming back, "Living Darfur" by Mattafix.

Rock my soul in the bosom of abraham
Rock my soul in the bosom of abraham
Rock my soul in the bosom of abraham
Oh rock my soul

Somehow it's now it's changed to: "we are we a-are! the youth of the na-ation!"

"I've Changed My Plea to Guilty" by Morrissey which I haven't heard in forever.

Fraggle rock theme tune, there was something about it in the metro.

today it's inexplicably "gimme some money" by spinal tap

equally inexplicable, last week it was "been caught stealing" by jane's addiction though I have not heard the song in 10 years

You’ll be my Charlie
And can be your George
Let’s bury the hatchet
Like the Beatles and the Stones

They’ll play our songs forever
On the radio
Let’s bury the hatchet
Like the Beatles
The Beatles and the Stones

I know you got a thing
For ordinary guys
But I’ve heard your records
And they sound a lot like mine

So you’ll be my Mary-Ann
And I’ll be your Yoko
Let’s bury the hatchet
Like the Beatles
The Beatles and the Stones

Like the Beatles
The Beatles and the Stones

That 'Intro-Inspection' thing, made up of 100+ intros to other songs. Especially the genius bit where 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' melds into 'Stayin' Alive'.

And do ya think I'm to blame
Teeelll me to do ya think I'm to blame
when they do it
You're never there
When they show it
You stop and stare
Abacab
Isn't anywhere
Abacaaaab

God, all fucking week. GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD.

I have also discovered I have a very close equivalent of "songs Steve.n's boss sings" sitting next to me at work getting shit stuck in my head so I am going to have to start notating his odd song-tics.

"I saw you *under breath* and him walking in the rain"

Earlier it was

'don't ever ask me where I'm from, because if you start AHSK-in then I'll be hostile actin'

the "we are no more" bit from the chorus of charmparticles 'gold plated shot'

Now its '21 SECONDS HUH HUH' but Eels is playing on my computer and I'm confused

Nearly always when this happens, it's Average White Band's "Pick up the Pieces"

Hey man slow down, slow down
Idiot slow down, slow down

x 100,000

"can't you figure it out?yeahhh,figure it out..."
sloan

"everyone knows it's Windyyyyy
And windy has stormy eyes that flash at the sound of lies!"*

*not sure of actual lyrics.

"The last time I saw you
You looked so much older
Your famous blue raincoat
Was torn at the shoulder..."

"You're standing by the grey ice water
Out in the wind, above ground out in the water
You had yourself a crazy lover
Become unfrozen, trying hard to forget her
You got a job up in Alaska
to save what the cannery pays
there ain't no way to spend it
On the arctic blast"

(the Sun Kil Moon version)

this thread is a fun read when I don't know what song it is cuz I invent some crazy melody for the lyrics and imagine it getting stuck in someone's head

O.G. - Original Gangster, by Ice-T

Absolutely no idea on God's green Earth why, but its there, on repeat.

Can I have a taste of your ice cream?
NO! Mind your own biz-ness!

I'll have a shower
And then phone my brother up
Within the hour
I'll smash another cup

but especially

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
What if this party fears two?

>O.G. - Original Gangster, by Ice-T

Funny you should mention that, the SKM has been alternating with Snoop for me today:

"Cause when I bust my nut, I'm raisin up off the cot
Don't get upset girl, that's just how it goes
I don't love you hoes, I'm out the do'"

These are the days you might fill
With laughter until you break
These days you might feel
A shaft of light
Make its way across your face
And when you do
Then you’ll know how it was meant to be
See the signs and know their meaning

Happy Freuds by The Nice

Gonna give you all I got
Gonna fuck you with my red hot cock...

I've had this stuck in my head for TWO DAYS NOW and it will not leave OVER AND OVER AND OVER ARGH

Honestly, the more ridiculous the snippet is, the harder it gets stuck in your head.

I've tried everything at this point. Private Dancer. Itchycoo Park. Nothing dislodges it. I try listening to other music, and it's fine while it's playing, but the moment I switch it off, I think "Oh, thank god that song's gone..." AND THE MOMENT I THINK ABOUT IT, IT'S BACK.

Just shoot me now. Is there any medication, prozac, ritalin, ANYTHING that can get rid of earworms?
