Earworms

I thought my previous post may have been a touch harsh. However, I cycled home with a strange mash up of Lily the Pink and Kermit singing Happy Feet tonight so I stand by my earlier comment.
"Lets drink-a-drink-a-drink
to Lily the pink-a-pink-a-pink
Saviour of the human ra-a-ace
cos she's got those happy feet
those hap-hap-happy feet..."
Aaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This for the ride in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHkKJfcBXcw

This on the way home as I approached 30 mph in moderate traffic and heavy rain:

"In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway american dream
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on highway 9,
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and steppin out over the line
Baby this town rips the bones from your back
Its a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while were young
`cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run"

Oh god I have had 'lucky star' by Madonna in my head for two days straight!!!

River Deep, Mountain High. Second good one in a row, both courtesy of Chris Evans.
Does anyone else think Tina Turner looks like she's riding an invisible horse?

Now that is one tune I'd like to have buzzing around my head: No, I had Moody Chops by Half Man Half Biscuit (good) and Hey There Geordie Girl by The New Seekers (bad) mixed together the other day!

The :x was because I had the tune in my head all day and could'nt remember the words in the verse about the countryside alliance....I've since found them on 'tinternet and printed them off.

PS I met Martin Carthy last Friday.

Tonight it was Grenade by Bruno Mars, I hate local radio, playing all the soppy mainstream pap just as I'm leaving for home.

California Dreamin'.

Plenty more wistful than people remember (and plenty better for it).

Loads of beegees' songs going round in my head after last nights beegees' top 20 on TV

"night fever, night fev-er-er-er"

Found myself singing Space Oddity on my way though Kingston this morning.

I dread looking at this thread in case I pick up smoebody elses anoying earworm. But I just can't resist. So I looked and made the leap from Asprilla's Space Oddity to Starman which isn't too bad.

Oh Bondage, Up Yours by X Ray Specs. Guess who's been listening to the punk stuff on the BBC. It did make me pedal a bit harder on my way in this morning.

Monkey Man by Toots and The Maytals
Its been stuck in my head for about a week!

byke68

Had the feckin Blaydon Races going around my head, thanks to a colleague singing it in his *iss-take Northern "accent"!

jonny_trousers

Lots of random, cheesy crap, but for the second time doing this particular ride, the first movement of Brahms' 4th symphony. Haven't listened to it in years. Strange...

Great track. One of my colleagues was just saying he's tried to see them live a couple of times and the gig's been cancelled. Apparently they're playing this year, but at the O2. He's not so keen now. You need to see them in a smaller venue, preferably smoky.
Apparently there is some sort of reggae festival with lots of good bands on this year for 50 years of Jamaican independence.
He knows more about reggae than a middle-aged Welshman could ever be expected to know.

Pfft, everyone knows reggae is a Trini invention.

I have a specific fast section on OKR that gets me humming the riff from Storm 'Time to Burn'

It's like a spin class but with drivers trying to kill you

I've never heard that. What is you're source, Trinipedia? Encyclopaedia Smallislanda?

"Let it snow" by dean Martin.

and in particular the following two lines

Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,


Been going round my head all morning since 6 am.

I'd like to get to know you.

Your deodorant smells nice.
