Song stuck in your head? "Earworm". What's yours today?

Seriously folks....watch this movie...realize how timid Muriel is at the beginning, and how Rhonda helps her loosen up.....

a reply to: BuzzyWigs

See, that's why I don't watch movies with the word "wedding" in the title. Too much violence

Let me see if I can help you out this time with a happier tune that's been stuck in my head for a couple of weeks.



"So much rhythm, grace, and debonair for one man ..."

Side note, their outfits look like what I wore to the prom.

It never stops.

a reply to: Junkheap

eegads that's dreadful.

ack.
Reminded me of Barney's song (which I will not post!!) but still it's not as bad as

the song that doesn't end....



There ya go - (this vid is TEN HOURS long...and then some....So - don't click on it unless you are intending some sort of sadistic sound torture...LOL!!
Guaranteed to drive a person crazy, like giving a toddler one of those popcorn push toys....and knowing his parents will have to deal with it.

*******************

Anyway - here's a good one by a band that rarely gets air time anymore -


Try to sing along!!

ack so, every day for the last two weeks, I have barenaked ladies songs - as soon as I wake up, whether in the middle of the night needing to go potty, or just to roll over....or first thing in the morning as I come back to Earth.....

One Week

(How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad?)

It's been one week since you looked at me
Cocked your head to the side
and said I'm angry
Five days since you laughed at me saying
Get that together come back and see me
Three days since the living room,
I realized it's all my fault, but couldn't tell you
Yesterday you'd forgiven me
But it'll still be two days till I say I'm sorry

Hold it now and watch the hoodwink
As I make you stop, think
You'll think you're looking at Aquaman
I summon fish to the dish,
Although I like the Chalet Swiss
I like the sushi
Cause it's never touched a frying pan

Hot like wasabe when I bust rhymes
Big like Leann Rimes
Because I'm all about value
Bert Kaempfert's got the mad hits
You try to match wits
You try to hold me but I bust through

Gonna make a break and take a fake
I'd like a stinkin, achin shake
I like vanilla, It's the finest of the flavors
Gotta see the show,
Cause then you'll know
The Vertigo is gonna grow
Cause it's so dangerous,
You'll have to sign a waiver

How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad
Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Can't understand what I mean?
Well, you soon will
I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
I have a history of taking off my shirt

It's been one week since you looked at me
Threw your arms in the air and said you're crazy
Five days since you tackled me
I've still got the rug burns on both my knees
It's been three days since the afternoon
You realized it's not my fault not a moment too soon
Yesterday you'd forgiven me
And now I sit back and wait till you say you're sorry

Chickity China the Chinese chicken
You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'
Watchin X-Files with no lights on,
We're dans la maison
I hope the Smoking Man's in this one
Like Harrison Ford I'm getting Frantic
Like Sting I'm Tantric
Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy

Like Kurosawa I make mad films
Okay I don't make films
But if I did they'd have a samurai
Gonna get a set of better clubs
Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs
Just so my irons aren't always flying off the back swing
Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon
Cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babes
That make me think the wrong thing

How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad
Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Can't understand what I mean?
You soon will
I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
I have a history of losing my shirt

It's been one week since you looked at me
Dropped your arms to your sides and said I'm sorry
Five days since I laughed at you and said
You just did just what I thought you were gonna do
Three days since the living room
We realized we're both to blame, but what could we do?
Yesterday you just smiled at me
Cause it'll still be two days till we say we're sorry

It'll still be two days till we say we're sorry
It'll still be two days till we say we're sorry
Birchmount Stadium, home of the Robbie

Who Needs Sleep?

(You gotta live with what you get and there's a guy t's been awake since the second world war).....
(holla holla holla)

Now I lay me down not to sleep
I just get tangled in the sheets
I swim in sweat three inches deep
Just lay back and claim defeat

Chapter read and lesson learned
I turned the lights off while she burned
So while shes three hundred degrees
I throw the sheets off and I freeze

Lids down, I count sheep
I count heartbeats
The only thing that counts is
That I wont sleep
I countdown, I look around

Who needs sleep?
(Well youre never gonna get it)
Who needs sleep?
(Tell me whats that for)
Who needs sleep?
Be happy with what youre getting
Theres a guy whos been awake
Since the second world war

Who needs sleep?
(Well youre never gonna get it)
Who needs sleep?
(Tell me whats that for)
Who needs sleep?
Be happy with what youre getting
Theres a guy whos been awake
Since the second world war

My hands are locked up tight in fists
My mind is racing filled with lists
Of things to do and things Ive done
Another sleepless nights begun

Lids down, I count sheep
I count heartbeats
The only thing that counts is
That I wont sleep
I countdown, I look around

Who needs sleep?
(Well youre never gonna get it)
Who needs sleep?
(Tell me whats that for)
Who needs sleep?
Be happy with what youre getting
Theres a guy whos been awake
Since the second world war

If I Had a Million Dollars

(We wouldn't have to walk to the store)
(you could help, it wouldn't be that hard!)
(but not a real green dress, that's cruel)
and

"If I Had A Million Dollars"

If I Had A Million Dollars (If I Had A Million Dollars)
I'd buy you a house (I would buy you a house)
If I Had A Million Dollars (If I Had A Million Dollars)
I'd buy you furniture for your house
(Maybe a nice chesterfield or an ottoman)
If I Had A Million Dollars (If I Had A Million Dollars)
I'd buy you a K-Car (a nice Reliant automobile)
If I Had A Million Dolla I'd buy your love.

If I Had A Millio
I'd build a tree fort in our yard.
If I Had $1000000
You could help, it wouldn't be that hard.
If I Had $1000000
Maybe we could put put a little tiny fridge in there somewhere
([Talking:] We could just go up there and hang out.
Like open the fridge and stuff, and there'd be foods laid out for us
With little pre-wrapped sausages and things. Mmmmm.
They have pre-wrapped sausages but they don't have pre-wrapped bacon.
Well can you blame them. Yeah)

If I Had $1000000 (If I Had $1000000)
I'd buy you a fur coat (but not a real fur coat that's cruel)
If I Had $1000000 (If I Had $1000000)
I'd buy you an exotic pet (Like a llama or an emu)
If I Had $1000000 (If I Had $1000000)
I'd buy you John Merrick's remains (All them crazy elephant bones)
If I Had $1000000 I'd buy your love

If I Had $1000000
We wouldn't have to walk to the store
If I Had $1000000
We'd take a limousine 'cause it costs more
If I Had $1000000
We wouldn't have to eat Kraft Dinner.
(But we would eat Kraft Dinner. Of course we would, we'd just eat more.
And buy really expensive ketchup with it.
That's right, all the fanciest Dijon Ketchup. Mmmmmm.)

If I Had $1000000 (If I Had $1000000)
I'd buy you a green dress (but not a real green dress, that's cruel)
If I Had $1000000 (If I Had $1000000)
I'd buy you some art (a Picasso or a Garfunkel)
If I Had $1000000 (If I Had $1000000)
I'd buy you a monkey (haven't you always wanted a monkey?)
If I Had $1000000 I'd buy your love

If I Had $1000000, If I Had $1000000
If I Had $1000000, If I Had $1000000
I'd be rich.

"Call And Answer"

I think it's getting to the point
where I can be myself again
I think it's getting to the point
where we have almost made amends
I think it's the getting to the point
that is the hardest part

and if you call, I will answer
and if you fall, I'll pick you up
and if you court this disaster
I'll point you home

You think I only think about you
when we're both in the same room
You think I'm only here to witness
the remains of love exhumed
You think we're here to play
a game of who loves more than whom

and if you call, I will answer
and if you fall, I'll pick you up
and if you court this disaster
I'll point you home

You think it's only fair to do what's
best for you and you alone
You think it's only fair to do the same to me when you're not home
I think it's time to make this something that is
more than only fair

so if you call, I will answer
and if you fall, I'll pick you up
and if you court this disaster
I'll point you home

But I'm warning you, don't ever do
those crazy, messed-up things that you do
If you ever do,
I promise you I'll be the first to crucify you
Now it's time to prove that you've come back
here to rebuild
Rebulid...

This has been SUCH an earworm the past few days, that I'm trying to work out an accoustic version for my own entertainment. Tin Machine -- Amazing. Really resonates with me.

Andrew Jackson Jihad, anyone?

Into the fold by Cursive off their 2006 album Happy Hollow

Happy Hollow is a concept album, telling the various tales and dark secrets of a seemingly quaint American hometown. This song is amazing, it might take a couple listens as there is a part at the end in which two people are singing different lines. It essentially tells the story of a guy who is a manipulator and essentially preys on naive young women.

Just listen.

The last two minutes are amazing.

"She agreed to get a cup of coffee, that's when I started to lay it on heavy. Once she learned I studied Dostoyevsky, it was in the bag . . ."

From the series, "Peaky Blinders"....

I wondered if any of you wake up with a tune stuck in your head, and if so - what is it today?

I don't normally get a song stuck in my head, only occasionally (and it's usually a freakin' jingle I hear somewhere, other times a song). I don't usually wake up with one anymore (but I usually go to sleep with one, a melody or a few bars of something I have either written or realize would fit with what I'm writing and I can't shake it); however, I get single WORDS stuck in my head, that I mentally repeat over and over.

Thing is, they don't really mean anything to me. Or perhaps it's reducing a word to its meaningful nothingness. I do not know why this happens. It's weird.

That's an awesome song.
