Earworms

It's just some times you've got to make demands -
for certain things before it gets too late.
...
Raise your voice - you'll be given a choice.
Just say nothing and you won't.

I've been having earworm problems for some days with this:

John Wayne said it was "the most un-American thing I’ve ever seen in my whole life". Must be good.

Tried explaining earworm problem & plot to 12YO - might have seen film before - & came up with "Nemesis".

Shriekback Nemesis might help a bit. Not sure it's strong enough though.

Cute video too.

This morning I have got up to "Don't worry, be happy". Unfortunately not the original chart version but some ghastly advert with squeaky female backing vocals going "tweet tweet, tweet tweet". If anyone can find that one on Youtube or some such and help me exorcise it I will be extremely grateful.

Belgian classic.

Good stuff! Recently from about the same era I had The Skids 'Into the Valley' on my way to work, awesome: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXVhh7TKgcA

Herr: es ist Zeit. Der Sommer war sehr groß.
Leg deinen Schatten auf die Sonnenuhren
und auf den Fluren lass die Winde los.

Befiehl den letzten Früchten voll zu sein -
gib ihnen noch zwei südlichere Tage,
dränge sie zur Vollendung hin
und jage die letzte Süße in den schweren Wein.


Wer jetzt kein Haus hat, baut sich keines mehr.
Wer jetzt allein ist, wird es lange bleiben.
Wird wachen, lesen, lange Briefe schreiben.
- In den Alleen hin und her unruhig wandern,
wenn die Blätter treiben.



Bleh. If I'd had a just OK german teacher I wouldn't have this problem.

Today, same as every day I cycle to and from work: the usual insepid mainstream crap off the radio. Mumford & sons and that effort that won something last year who whines his way through the song!
Now listening to the first Berzerker cd 8)

Various Bellowhead songs at the moment.

OneForTheRoad

Deacon Blue, Dignity.

I had no Dignity as I panted this out for the hours commute this morning. It's even better when you forget most of the words and just stick with the "set it up, set it up" bit.

I apologise.

Not a song , but I've had the phrase "totes amazeballs" stuck in my head for the last few rides - and I've no idea where I heard it, thankfully.

Can someone please suggest an annoyingly catchy tune that I can replace this with.

the_fuggler

Horse of the Year Show theme?! Been in my head since they showed it on Top Gear on Sunday. Bastards.

How about the Eastenders tune? :twisted:

Blacktemplar

Aaarghh! Small niece-shaped object was over at the weekend, and she brought her beloved Disney 'Tangled' DVD with her. Can't get the farking tune outta my head........ kill. me. now. please.

I've been listening to a lot of Lalo Schifrin recently (Bullitt and Dirty Harry soundtracks amongst others).

As a result all I can hear in my head is seedy Brazilian jazz, it's like having my own 70's soundtrack everywhere I go. I highly recommend it, particularly 'Shifting Gears', 'Scorpio's View' and 'The School Bus'.

Got this one completely stuck in my head at the moment...

Cover of the Borderlands2 theme track by Rexon, which I think is better than the original

The theme tune to The Family Ness.

Why?

How?

Thankfully now replaced by Sloe on the Uptake by The Glowworms.

OneForTheRoad

Magic Moments....

It's not so F*&king magical when you can't get it out of your head.

Murray Head - One Night in Bangkok.

Probably because that's where I'm going this weekend ha ha! :P

Had a good earworm this morning for a change ... Meatloaf "Bat out of Hell" ... sure beats the Eastenders theme after someone in here mentioned it :twisted:

This morning, it was some depressing John Lennon tune -"nobody told me there would be days like this...." or something like that. It was on the radio early in the week but my brain forwarded it on today! Thanks!

BigJimmyB

...strange days indeed....

...most peculiar mama....

Stuck in my head now!

graham.

Just got a tune in my head seemingly from nowhere, it was bugging the life out of me. I could'nt let it go until I rememberd what it was, so much so that I had to walk aroud town for an hour repeating it in my head.
I knew that if anyone spoke to me the tune would be gone for another 40 years! All I knew was that it was a coda to a larger piece...then it came to me!

For fans of obscure progrock/folk.

Aus dem stillen Raume,
Aus der erde Grund,
Hebt mich wie im Traume
Dein verliebter Mund.

"Nobody Told Me" - that's a great tune! Leonard Cohen is far more depressing;: "I ache in the places where I used to play" was looping in my head on yesterday's ride to Brighton

EKE_38BPM

Four songs which were part of my wedding:
I'm In The Mood For Love, played in the church by our band as (the not quite yet) Mrs EKE and her dad walk down the aisle.
Untold Stories by Buju Banton, sung by the congregation and our band in the church. I don't do hymns.
Wonderwall by Oasis as we entered the reception hall after the service and pictures.
Good Thing Going by Sugar Minott as our first dance.

I can't wait to see the video of Untold Stories.
