I've had Bob Marley's "Jamming" stuck in my head for about 4 days now.  I
think I finally understand how the groove works.

/hypnotic look...

"you vill now hear *stir it up*"

#3 of 51 by flem on Sat Sep 29 17:30:07 2001:

Heh.  That would probably have worked, except that I'm currently *listening*
to something else, granting me immunity to your hypnotic look!  Ha!

"Must be the Money" and "On the Street Where You Live" have been trading
shifts all day.  It's a nice contrast, actually.

I work in the early childhood music program at state, and we sing a lot of
short little songs in different tonalites.  Tonight I was taking a math test,
and a trio of them were taking turns in my brain.  I was noting the
similarities in the melodies of a couple of them, and then *poof* realized
I was daydreaming.

I also accidentally talked tonight during the test.  It was something like
"but its supposed to be four..."

I appear more schizo every day...

What a beautiful image.  Thank you.  :)

Oh, that was the nondramatic version... there was also a significant amount
of fist shaking going on, along with some fun facial expressions.  I've also
heard that my sister is fun to watch take tests.  :)

I was rather disturbed to find that I had Wesley Willis' "Suck my dog's dick"
in my head for an extended period of time last week.  It was that kind of
week.

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ. I knew I shouldn't have watched Sesame Street at
me mum;s house.

#16 of 51 by goose on Fri Aug 30 16:24:01 2002:

YMCA.  I really want it to go away.

#17 of 51 by tpryan on Fri Aug 30 17:33:05 2002:

        Okay, that put Luke Ski's Y.O.D.A. into my brain.  Hey, now
it's Insane and The Brain.

Hand on the Pump

"Windmills of the Mind"?  sounds similar to "Windmills of Your Mind".. 
that's not it, is it?

#23 of 51 by jaklumen on Mon Sep 9 07:29:09 2002:

Oh, okay.  That is a song that sticks itself in your head easily.

"Round like a circle in a mill
on an everspinning wheel.."
right?

*folk's* generation!

Night on Bald Mountain, over and over...

#28 of 51 by dbratman on Mon Sep 30 21:06:55 2002:

I've had a couple movements of Ippolitov-Ivanov's Caucasian Sketches 
stuck in my head for about 30 years, does that count?

#29 of 51 by orinoco on Wed Oct 9 00:03:12 2002:

That sounds truly dreadful.  I spent a full year with "Tomorrow Never Knows"
stuck in my head, and it was bad enough.

#30 of 51 by eprom on Fri Apr 4 04:02:23 2003:

hmmm....
I have a few songs stuck in my noodle that I can't seem to match 
with a name..

The first one is a tune from the movie "Schindlers List", at the 
very begining when he sitting in the fancy nite club hob-knobing 
with the Nazis. The same tune is in the movie True Lies at the 
end when Jamie Lee Curtis and Arnold do the Tango.



The other is way more obscure.....

In the 1979 movie "Time After Time" a sci-fi movie about Jack the 
Ripper and H.G. Wells. At the very begining of the movie, Jack the
Ripper has a pocket watch that plays a really nice tune. I've also 
heard it in an episode of "Little House on the Prarie" where one of
the characters has a music box that plays that tune.


anyone know the actual names of either of these songs i'm refering to?

#31 of 51 by mcnally on Fri Apr 4 09:07:38 2003:

  I believe the tango used in "True Lies" was Carlos Gardel's "Por Una
  Cabeza."  I don't remember it being used in "Schindler's List" but I
  don't specifically recall much about that movie..

#32 of 51 by scott on Fri Apr 4 13:43:51 2003:

Weather Report's "Birdland".

#33 of 51 by krj on Sun Apr 6 05:20:06 2003:

Rockpile's version of "Teacher Teacher," which is motiviating a 
late-70s mix CD.

#34 of 51 by dbratman on Tue Apr 8 07:05:14 2003:

I'm researching English country dance tunes and am finding that some of 
them are amazingly catchy: "Newcastle" and "Gathering Peascods" in 
particular.

#35 of 51 by remmers on Tue Apr 8 11:10:46 2003:

"The Yale Boolah".  (Don't ask... ;-)

#36 of 51 by orinoco on Wed Apr 9 01:23:40 2003:

"I'm a Soldier (in the Army of the Lord)" and "People Are Strange" have been
switching off all day.

#37 of 51 by other on Wed Apr 9 02:21:41 2003:

"September" from The Fantasticks, off and on for the last 18 years or so.

Just saw it again this weekend, too.

#38 of 51 by scott on Wed Apr 9 02:33:25 2003:

Earlier I had "Sometimes in Winter" by Blood Sweat & Tears, but now I'm
watching Kirk Douglas in "The Vikings" and I've got that theme currently
stuck.

#39 of 51 by eprom on Thu May 8 17:53:03 2003:

re #31 Thanks mcnally!
I would have never figured that out; it's not one of those things that you
can google to figure out...

anyways..the other song in Shindlers list that I liked was "Gloomy Sunday".

#40 of 51 by scott on Fri May 16 15:00:10 2003:

David Bowie's "Changes".  I really need to get a copy of that album.  Bowie
is somebody I've really only listened to in the last year or so.  His 70's
albums are brilliant.

#41 of 51 by dbratman on Sun May 18 23:24:05 2003:

Two of Bowie's 70s albums with Brian Eno are the basis for symphonies 
by Philip Glass.  I know the symphonies, though not the original 
albums, and like them.

#42 of 51 by mcnally on Mon May 19 00:14:09 2003:

  I know the albums, but not the symphonies, and I like *them*..

#43 of 51 by orinoco on Mon May 19 03:57:43 2003:

I've been meaning to listen to both for ages.  I love Bowie, I adore Brian
Eno, and Philip Glass doesn't make me twitch nearly as much as he used to.
But I still haven't gotten around to it...

#44 of 51 by mcnally on Mon May 19 12:31:15 2003:

  I know one of the albums that Glass used for a symphony was "Heroes"
  but which was the other?  "Lodger"?

#45 of 51 by other on Tue May 20 01:14:47 2003:

Glass doesn't make me twitch.  He seemed quite nice actually.

#46 of 51 by orinoco on Tue May 20 04:49:18 2003:

The other Glass/Bowie symphony was based on "Low," IIRC

#47 of 51 by mcnally on Tue May 20 10:51:12 2003:

  Actually, that makes more sense than one based on "Lodger"..

#48 of 51 by jaklumen on Wed Aug 20 06:34:58 2003:

N 2 Deep, "Back To the Hotel," thanks to the local hip-hop/Top 40 
station's Old School Lunch.

#49 of 51 by jules on Sat Aug 23 02:27:48 2003:

#50 of 51 by eprom on Thu Jul 15 01:46:05 2004:

La la la la la, I just can`t get you out of my 
head, boy your loving is all I think about...

I've had this song stuck in my head since this morning.

#51 of 51 by otaking on Sat Jul 17 01:54:50 2004:
