Somebody's leaving, on a midnight train to Georgia, but I'm leaving on a
jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again. My brother needs a
ticked for an air-o-plane, he ain't got time to take a fast train.
(Did that make any sense?)
Now I've got those songs stuck in my head.
What songs do you get stuck in your head, and do you ever combine them?
The personal worst for me was when I had the James Bond theme song,
Horse with No Name, The Phantom of the Opera, and the Notre Dame
(University) Fight song all stuck in my head at once. Came up with an
amusing mental picture of James Bond, wearing a mask, riding a horse
through the desert and stopping to watch a football game.

RE #43 I do believe that the music conference has an item about songs that
one cannot get out of his/her head.

Re 43: I've been plagued off and on for years by "If I Only Had a Brain,"
among others. I get songs in my head very easily, and then they refuse to
leave. My worst was when I got "Mercedes Benz" and "Lydia the Tattooed Lady"
both in my head at once, and felt this odd compulsion to sing them while I
was supposed to be studying with friends. They let me live... I have very
compassionate friends. ;)

Pioneer's Jazz Band, in its final concert, played a very entertaining
set featuring two songs by Ellington. I think they have rehearsed more
over the year.

I sing Jimmy Durante's "Inca Dinca Doo" to Achy Breaky Heart.
Even publicly performed it about 4 years ago. When it first hit me,
I had to stop working and start writing it down. Dr. Demento helped
by playing the Durante tune the next Sunday night.

I usually mix up the "Barney Song" with "This Old Man"
I love you,
you love me,
We're a happy family
With a knick-knack, paddy whack
give the dog a bone,
This old man went rolling home.
I'm pretty sure that that is not the way it goes, but....well, it's the only
way I know how!
