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

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

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
I can't get no education
We don't need no girl reaction
We don't need no thought control

In London Town, there's just no
Place for street fighting maaaan

butthole surfers - "movin down to florida"
and
the countdown music from UK daytime word quiz "countdown"

rubber ducky, i'm awfully fond of you!
when I feel blue in the night
and I need you to hold me tight
whenever I want you
all I have to do is dream

Lol

september reverses, and the equinoxes fli-ip
it's a clean machine ( bugle solo )

all by myself / life on mars

Erasure: "oooh sometimes"
Tiffany: "there doesn't seem to be anyone around"

That's a good one

Bob the Buil-der
Who? Who? Who?
Bob the Buil-der
Who let the dogs out?

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
