Lately?

Long Tall Texan
Lyle Lovett - something about the rythym while climbing.....

Well I'm a long tall Texan
I wear a ten-gallon hat
(He rides from Texas wearing a ten-gallon hat)
Yes I'm a long tall Texan
I wear a ten-gallon hat
(He rides from Texas wearing a ten-gallon hat)
Well people look at me and they say
Is that your hat
(He rides from Texas wearing a ten-gallon hat)

Well I'm a long tall Texan
I ride a big white horse
(He rides from Texas on a big white horse)
Yes I'm a long tall Texan
I ride a big white horse
(He rides from Texas on a big white horse)
Well people look at me and they say
Is that your horse
(He rides from Texas on a big white horse)

Well I was walking down the street
With my shiny badge
My spurs jingling there at my feet
I seen a man a'coming
Coming with a gun and
I just can't be beat

Yes I'm a long tall Texan
I enforce justice for the law
(He rides from Texas to enforce the law)
Well I'm a long tall Texan
I enforce justice for the law
(He rides from Texas to enforce the law)
Well people look at me and they say
Is you the law
(He rides from Texas to enforce the law)

Well I'm a long tall Texan
Yes I'm a long tall Texan

something about the rythym while climbing.....

I know... oddly, the rythm of climbing forces the Crystal Method's "Trip Like I Do" into my mind... but after really listening to it, it feels like it applies more to coercing my DGF into riding that endorphin high you feel when the wind is rushing over your face and the nubbins on your tires are humming like bees in unison... It's a total bliss that I guess some just won't get.

"I want you to trip like me- I want you to have fun

you and me

I want you to trip like I do

Can't you.... Can't you trip like I do..... Can't you.... Can't you trip like I do....
Oh my God...."

Tonight Lena Horne is in my head singing "The Lady Is A Tramp".

[BadgerGirl]

I actually wake up with a song in my head every morning. It isn't necessarily something I have heard recently either. I have had childrens songs in my head that I heaven't heard for years (Little Bunny Foo, Foo) to something recent. Right now, it is "I'm just a girl"-I don't know who sings it, but it is my favorite. Who knows what it will be tomorrow...I admit, it is weird...

[salsabike]

That is so funny---Little Bunny FooFoo was in my head a few weeks ago. Picture trying to explain it to my spouse, who never went to summer camp when he was little. I had the hand motions going on and everything. Glad I'm not the only one still hearing that one in my head occasionally.

[Cassandra_Cain]

Hmmmm, gosh I think if doesn't always happen for me. I'm too busy thinking "pedal in circles' or "yes we can make it another 5 feet"

Ok, but when it does it seems to depend on what i'm doing. Climbing always inspires something epic, maybe like the Requiem which Kitsune mentioned. A little drama for that inevitable crest over the hill/mountain/speedbump

[mimitabby]

in an odd juxtapose (is that a word?) yesterday, when we were going so fast (when we could) I had a waltz playing in there!!

especially on the hills!

[betagirl]

Here's a scary one:

"MMMBop" by Hanson (what ever happened to them anyway?)

"You're Beautiful" by James Blunt. Maybe I'm in love with my bike.

Last night was the opening game for the Washington Redskins, who played the Minnesota Vikings ("my" team from when I was a kid, because they have purple uniforms). Of course, the 'skins lost. We were talking about it at work this a.m., and now I have "Purple People Eater" going through my head.

But for cycling, I think of this FatBoy Slim song and video of LA:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jpblb1FNmqY

I think they said the song is called "Acid 8000" but I just call it "Booty" - as in "If that don't make your booty move, your booty must be dead."
It's my inspiration for the hills!

yup.

I remember a light bulb going on in my head after I realized why the "heft hefty cinch sack" song got stuck.....I had gained a few lbs.....

Little Bunny Foo Foo...I learned that from my neice and I like riffin' with it and making up new lyrics.

I have been listening to The Shins so much....I hear them all the time...and I don't mind...

[crazycanuck]

I have The Young Ones & Cliff Richard's " living doll" in my head..

[csr1210]

All kinds of song go through my head. It really amuses me when they are songs that I don't "purposely" listen to, such as:

Rawhide (Rolling, Rolling, keep them doggies rolling....)

or Push It by SaltnPepper (on hills for some reason)

Lots of other songs go through my head, but those were the most amusing (to me).

Christy

PS -- Great thread - thanks for reviving it!

Thanks, BG! Now I am going to go to the morning meeting with that in my head! Yes, what did happen to them?

[Kano]

You DID ask....

I could have lived without wanting to know....
