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

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

Axel F - Crazy Frog version
Fireball - Pitbull

Prozzak - Sucks to Be You -> No Doubt - Underneath It All

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
Happy!
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"
The Wire theme song (S2) & 3rd Bass "Flippin off the Wall Like Lucille Ball"

OH THANKS A LOT FETTER

My addled brain always sings "I come from the land of the ice and snow / With the jigsaw jazz and the get-fresh flow"

that's amazing

"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

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

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

omg yes, this is perfect

when the walls
come tumbalin' tumbalin'
tumbalin' tumbalin'
dooooooown
ROCKIN' IN THE USA

i have a wandering earworm that eats up
chris connelly "stowaway"
james brown "living in america"
supreme vagabond craftsman "check out my rifle range"
nomeansno "i need you"

oh it also now segues into flock of seagulls "i ran"

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

Oh IIIIIIIII

niiiice

kerosene & frontier psychiatrist

How long, I wondered, could this thing last?
But the age of miracles hadn't passed
For, suddenly, I saw you there
And through foggy London Town
There ain't no place for a street fighting man.
