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

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.

another hit

Oh baby, baby, I shouldn't have let you go...
...Cause people are the same where-ev-er you go!
There is good and bad, mm-hmm, in everyone

They're creepy and they're kooky
Mysterious and spooky
They're altogether ooky
The Addams Family
I would dance and be merry, life would be a ding-a-derry,
If I only had a brain.

High flying, adored
What happens now? Where do you go from here?

Guess I'm onnnnnnnn my wayyyyyyyy

I've just realised I always have this in my head:

The moon is right
The spirit's up
Jesus and his lawyer
Are coming back
Simply having a wonderful Christmas time

oh wow!!!

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

No-vo-cai-ne
Novocaine for the soul

etc

before I eat my sprouts

Guess who's living here with the great undead
This paint by numbers life is fucking with my head
DING DONG DING DONG DING
ooooo----ooooh!

this whole thing is great

"Flashdance" and "Chantilly Lace":

What a feeling!
Being's believin'!
Make you feel real loose
Like a long-necked goose, for life

HHahahah

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....

Arabian knights
You kids are so strange

(xp that's really good)

This really doesn't hold a candle to what others have posted but:

Old McDonald had a farm,
Heeeeey Macarena!

Sumer is icumen in
Lhude sing cuccu
Cuckoo, cuckoo, who's got the cuckoo?

Seasons change and our love went cold
Feed the flame 'cause we can't let go
Run away, but we're running in circles
Run away, run away
I dare you to be somebody
But you ain't nobody
You ain't got no body
You're just a head
You’re just a pothead

Immigrant Song / Where it's At upthread one of the great things.

jump up, kick back, whip around and spin,
i want to stay forever,
closer each day,
home and away

Hey, you
Get off my cloud
You don't know me
And you don't know my style
It always brings me back when I hear, "ooh, child!"
From The Hudson River out to the Nile
I run the marathon to the very last mile
Well, if you battle me I feel reviled

Old McDonald had a farm,
Heeeeey Macarena!

I love this

I Will by The Beatles always goes like this to me:

Who know how much I love you?
Who knows how much I care?
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever that's too hard to bear.
Love you forever and forever...
