Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash.
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair.

This is totally stuck in my head. It was annoying me because I didn't know what It was. But I do now. So now it's annoying the family. :D

I love that so much!

Somewhere Only We Know by Keane. Sung by Lily Allen.
Loved the song before. Was a fan of the Allen.
But it's The Partnership's (place where I work) advert song this Christmas.

It has earwormed me even though we do not play any music in my store.
Below are my problems with the advert.
My issues.
Feel free to ignore.

Picky, picky, picky me. A hare (doesn't look like a hare) wakes up a bear (do they even live in the same environment) because said bear has never experienced Christmas.
Wait, what?
Doesn't the bear hibernate for a very good reason?
Wouldn't waking a bear in the depths of Winter cause it to like, I dunno, die or something? Or have spindly cubs? Or have to eat hares?
And given animals don't have souls and we glory in eating them for Christmas, and throwing most of their dead bodies away, would they really want to celebrate the birth of Jebus? Because if it's just all about trees and presents and sparkles then shouldn't the forest animals celebrate a time of plenty instead?

Okay. It has become an earworm. I do catch myself singing it.
The rest I just wanted to get off my chest.

And now it's in ma heid.

Just at the moment I'm trying to recall the words and music to "When A Felon's Not Engaged In HIs Employment," without looking in the Pirates of Penzance script... but I'm going to have to. Give the earworm some direction to go. No.24 in the songbook. "When constabulary duty's to be done, to be done, a policeman's lot is not a happy one, happy one."

This is going through my head right now. Specifically the final refrain. Chap-Hop:

That was on the TV in the PDR today.
The sound was turned down so I had no idea what people were talking about.
DAYAMN. I coulda edumicated them about the Beastie Boys.
Hmmm. Prolly best to stay as a same-age-as-my-mother-alike.

Don't know if this (below) counts as an earworm, because aren't all Christmas songs written to make you want to be grabbed by the local swain and gallop down the village hall?
And I have a bad (BAD) history of falling in love and blaming it on songs, especially at Yuletide.

Anyways... Kelly Clarkson's songs might be over-produced but underneath it all (see what I... eh) the lady can sing. I know because I come back from the PDR with this in my throat and nowhere for it to go. And how can it be an earworm when I love it.
I do.
I love it.
Like sherry trifle.
With silver balls on.

It makes me want to fall in love.
Just for Christmas.
Just once more.
Please.

Stuck in old Lodi. Also this 'Wild Horses. The horse was on desk top and I couldn't pass it up :jig:

Read that Jessie Winchester died on Friday. Have "Brand New Tennessee Waltz" running on the internal jukebox.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzptru9pK9E
I woke up this morning with "Waltzes With Bears" playing in my head.

Got Creepshow's The Devils Son in my head. This is good news because we're road tripping to see the Reverend Horton Heat and Creepshow in June. :)

And here's the story: I heard one of these awesome creatures last night, I was in bed and my bedroom faces the river, so this guy must have been in the trees right behind me. Well, not THIS owl, I got this vid from youtube. Research this morning told me it's the sound of a Great Horned Owl, probably the most prevalent in this area.

What I did was spare you the actual earworm it created: Wildfire by Michael Martin Murphy in 1975. Well, I won't really spare you: here's the vid if you want. I was always fascinated by one of the native American owl legend (owls have featured in mythology in many cultures in many ways) they incorporated. :) Couldn't get this song out of my head all day, despite being busy!

I'm hoping to spot the owl some evening, they're territorial so he shouldn't go too far, but they're hard to spot in so many trees.

p.s. this could be cross posted in 'wildlife living next to nature' :)

Wildfire! That takes me back. Occupies a slot in my brain near Billy Don't Be a Hero

Argh! New Earworm! I remember that one well. :lol:

OK, Mr K-tel...I'll see your earworm and raise you another era earworm:

Not so much the words , but the music is STUCK !!!!

Terrible nitpick: that version only has the left channel of the song. Here's the full stereo version:

I can remember riding my Huffy dirt bike with a tape recorder hanging off the handle bars playing "The Night Chicago Died".

They were not the good old days, and I would not go back.

Yeah, but think of the money you could make investing in Microsoft, Netscape, AOL, Genentech, Apple, etc.

Lyrics over in the Poems - Not Your Own thread

Nice, I don't know the last time I heard that, been a long time.

SonofV and I went to Sakura-Con recently and I spent a lot of time in the AMV Theater. This was one of the best I watched, and the song's been stuck in my head ever since. I have not played Portal (so no spoilers, *please*), but I do know a little about the storyline. And I've heard the original song (which I find catchier, but this one had lyrics that I could understand for the first time, the captions helped). The marriage of the story of L and Light in Death Note along with the words from the song is a HUGE SUCCESS! I'm being so sincere right now.

:lol:

Thanks Dana.

RIZZLE KICKS LYRICS
"Miss Cigarette"

Diiieee diss Illusion,
Mmm yeah I love it when my lips are on her,
There's a spark in our relationship I plant a kiss upon her,
I fuck around too much and there's a risk that I'm a goner,
So I've got her on hand like a badge of honour,
The downside is she's never there when I'm lacking dollar,
So I've got to try and go through a day without acting bothered,
In the hope she'd leave me alone because I'm better off her,
But I see that butt and I just accept the offer,

So many people say why are you with her,
And I'm like; she's a damn good kisser,
She feeds my addiction,
She leaks something different,
The smoke from our last meeting has risen,
Keep her away from all of the other boys,
Cause you know she's every single cutters choice,
Always there when the cold nights are lurking,
Gotta keep hold of my Golden virgin,

[Chorus:]
I think she's good for me,
That's why I wouldn't leave,
She helps me get down even when I shouldn't be,
She's there when I'm in need,
But she isn't cheap,
The last time I saw her,
Broski, I couldn't breathe,
But they say she's bad for me,
But they say she's bad for me,
I don't think she's bad for me,
But it's a bit of a diss illusion

She's got a mate called Benson,
But he's a bit of a waste guy,
Always chats about silver and gold,
But I don't recon he's sway (right?)
Plus his mate like's to come out at break time,
Try's to act bad but I've smoked him like 8 times!,
And if I take it the wrong places then I face the fine,
If I don't take in what she say's it's a waste of time,
In fact she doesn't lie,
She tells me that she's bad for me,
Even when I patch things up I don't feel that I have to leave,

I said I had to leave; I had to get away,
Cause funny when I'm not around I've seen better days,
Sometimes I demonstrate how to set it straight,
I filter out the bullshit and keep her locked in case,
But when I'm chilling she's always in my mind,
I do have doubts but the doubts are just glassed in side,
I should respond in time and then I found out,
The last boy she kissed coughed and died,

[Chorus:]
I think she's good for me,
That's why I wouldn't leave,
She helps me get down even when I shouldn't be,
She's there when I'm in need,
But she isn't cheap,
The last time I saw her,
Broski, I couldn't breathe,
But they say she's bad for me,
But they say she's bad for me,
I don't think she's bad for me,
But it's a bit of a diss illusion

M-I-S-S-C-I-G-A-R-E-T-T-E leave me be,
M-I-S-S-C-I-G-A-R-E-T-T-E leave me be,
Can you please leave my facility,
Can you please leave my facility,
Actually wait nah I'll have another kiss,
Oh shit I'm in love with this chick what this it's,
Straight robbery,
She's always there when I'm by myself and I can't remain solitary,
Babe honestly,
It appears that your bad for my health and a quick way to poverty,
You went from my pal to my lover,
Now I see you outside with thousands of others,
But you're on my mind right now,
So serious I'm down from another little fling,
Gotta confess this,

[Chorus:]
I think she's good for me,
That's why I wouldn't leave,
She helps me get down even when I shouldn't be,
She's there when I'm in need,
But she isn't cheap,
The last time I saw her,
Mostly I couldn't breathe,
But they say she's bad for me,
But they say she's bad for me,
I don't think she's bad for me,
But it's a bit of a miss illusion

As he runs away laughing manically. Haggis!!!

glad to hear your pain medication is working so well fargon!

There's a tv commercial that's playing around here a lot lately that uses Bobby Darin's 'Somewhere, Beyond The Sea', and I canNOT get it out of my head.

This ain't the commercial, just the song.

Sheryl Crow and Stones "Honky Tonk woman." Also CCR and Proud Mary. My brain is trying to tell my feet to move, but it's just not there anymore. :jig:

Ortho's post in the Poems thread has this going through my haid:

Europe: The Final Countdown.
I always call the hour before I finish work "the final countdown", have done for years without ever hearing the song of the same name in my head.
Even though I saw the band perform at a festival - way down on the list - while I was still sober and not sunburnt...

But Alex at work accused me of putting the song in her head, and then it became my own personal earworm. Serves me right.

It gets worse.
When I was at school, I'm your Venus by Bananarama was in the charts.
A very Bad Boy called Stewart (who talked to me because he fancied my sister) used to sing "I'm your penis" instead, which I found really shocking.
So when Europe sing "We're heading for Venus" I'm singing in my head "I'm heading for penis"... and I'm not even.

When I worked at a Sonic Drive-In, one of my cow orkers would sing along to the radio whenever Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love", only he would sing "...might as well face what your dick did to love".

I heard him in the men's room once singing along to "King of Pain" by The Police, only he sang "there's a little black spot on the bathroom floor, it's the same old spot that was there before".

Due to whoever posted those Viking Kittehs (damn you), I've had Iron Maiden's song 'Powerslave' in my haid.

I hear the intro from Led Zep's 'Immigrant Song', and then it speeds up and morphs into the intro from 'Powerslave'.

And, no, blasting it through my home stereo using everyone of those thousand watts did not get it out. It felt good though.:D Just ask the neighbors.

This has been in an endless loop since a dream I had about someone last night. Anyway, it is "In Time" by Mark Collie. Rather prophetic isn't it?

I made the mistake of listening to Tenacious D 's first album this past Saturday.

Climb upon my faithful steed.... Dip my toe into the jacuzzi, bebbeh.... Every single song is an earworm.

Dream Theater's Pull Me Under started playing in my head a bit ago.

Sycamore!! Welcome back dude!

If it's any of my business, why the name change?

That's a very good tune, I never knew who did it, though.

:devil:

"sycamore" was a pretty commonplace name as I traveled the web, and I'm not a fan of adding numbers.

I've been using "elSicomoro" in other places for some time now, and just decided to start using it here too.

Gravedigger by Dave Matthews

I think I may have liked my last iteration of music.

I'm almost certain I will never hear a new piece of 'good' music.

I haven't even heard anything worth stealing, much less buying, in forever.

The radio in GrandCherokeeOne has been dead for over a year, and I am not even interested in fixing/replacing it.

Sic's post above (Gravedigger)is a decent tune, but, LJ turned me on to a live, stripped down version a good while back that I like a little more. I stealed it.

:thumb:

I usually like live versions better than studio tracks. Can't think of a song that I'm the other way on just now, in fact.

Maybe Whole Lotta Love.... But just because they always turned the live version into a long medley.

It depends...I'm not the biggest fan of live music, and some live versions of songs just...blecch! But I like a new twist on an old favorite...for example, Clapton reworking Layla.

Volbeat cover Bay City Rollers. 7th grade?

That was fun.

That guy could probably sing pretty good if he wanted to.

He really can sing most anything. He covered that and Johnny Cash when I saw him.

This pile of crap keeps getting stuck in my head. I just learned that the only thing worse than the song is the video.

This, from my college days:
