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

aux champs-elysées
oh! champs-elysées
my love will turn you on

oh wow

thumbs up

Hey little sister, what have you done
Hey little sister, who's the only
Pick up a flat rock, skip it across Green River
Well...

every time Ted Leo's "The Lost Brigade" comes up on shuffle I inevitably sing the verses of "The Flesh Failures" from Hair overtop

When I called last night,
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

Through other people's eyes

hahahahahaha

sonic youth "inhuman" and...

"i need u like a shoelace needs a shoe,
like a clock needs a tic toc tic,
like a hiccup needs a hic"

from fun bbc kids' spelling show "alphablocks"

also nomeansno "bodybag"
and helge schneider's "Wurstfachverkäuferin"
somehow kinda apt

Oh dear today I am subject to a persistent mashup earworm i do not enjoy
REM "man on the moon"
dead Kennedys "moral majority"
let's play twister let's play risk
yeyeyeye
masturbating with a flag and a bible
god must be dead if you're alive
???

Gypsies, tramps and thieves
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

five
five dollar
five dollar footlong...
much better than a
owner of a lonely heart
owner of a lonely he-art

TMBG -> The Smiths

I got a crush
Copy shop clerk
No hope, no harm
Just another false alarm

and i turn round and there you go
and Michael you would fall
and turn the white snow
red as strawberries
in Margaritaville

lol i had a good margaritavilla one, strangely can't find it in this thread

wastin.. away again in margaritavilla
don't you know me, i'm your native son

Modern love
I say don't watch that
Modern love
Big fish or sprat
Trenchtown rock
Gets me to the church on time
Trenchtown rock
Terrifies me
Trenchtown rock
Makes me party

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

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:

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 🎶

Shameika said I had potential
Shameika said I had potential
Shameika said I had potential
Shameika said I had potential
Those who died are justified
For wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites
You justify those that died
By wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites
Those who died are justified
For wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites
You justify those that died
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
