Song Report

[salsabike]

I was totally amused to see in one of the other threads that some of you, like me, forever have songs going around in your heads. I always have them--always, always. And some of them are SO random, and some of them I really hate--like, sometimes, I get the Dead's Casey Jones song. Ugh. So I have two to offer up:

On the bike these days, the rhythm of the wheels turning invariably calls up Green Day's Holiday.

And off the bike over the last couple of days, I have not been able to get Blues Traveller's Runaround out of my head--driving me crazy. It even made me go online to find the lyrics so I could at least hear a little variety instead of just that chorus!

So...what's the song going around in YOUR head?

[pooks]

Kid Kills Rock's PARALYZED.

[Kitsune06]

I sometimes bike with headphones, but only when I'm somewhere where it's pretty safe to do so (generous bike lanes, low traffic, non-technical, etc)

So... ones that revolve around my head are
Nirvana's "Teen Spirit" and "About a Girl"
Blind Melon- "No Rain" and "Paper Scratcher"
Smashing Pumpkins "Zero" and "1979" and "Today"

then some off-the-wall ones, like Snow Patrol "Hands Open"
and assorted Beatles, Grateful Dead "Stuck in the Middle", Jimi Hendrix, the Doors, and I'll randomly start humming 'innagaddadavida' only because it's the only song I know of that lasts about 15 minutes... or an hour if I keep forgetting where I am in it.

My music is so obscure...
Italian folksongs...
Sousa marches...
stuff like that..
now back to the more normal people again!

[Kitsune06]

well, MT, you make me feel better for really getting into Canon, the Moonlight Sonata and Lacrymosa on my night rides...

[crazycanuck]

Kitsune-I love Nirvana's "about a girl"-esp the unplugged version


At the moment I have "tenement funster"by queen/roger taylor going through my head...

Anything roger sings I listen to....

Star Trekkin' across the universe,
On the Starship Enterprise under Captain Kirk.
Star Trekkin' across the universe,
Boldly going forward 'cause we can't find reverse.

Lt. Uhura, report.

There's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, starboard bow;
there's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, Jim.

Analysis, Mr. Spock.

It's life, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, not as we know it; it's life, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, Captain.

There's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, starboard bow;
there's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, Jim.

Star Trekkin' across the universe,
On the Starship Enterprise under Captain Kirk.
Star Trekkin' across the universe,
Boldly going forward, still can't find reverse.

Medical update, Dr. McCoy.

It's worse than that, he's dead, Jim, dead, Jim, dead, Jim;
it's worse than that, he's dead, Jim, dead, Jim, dead.

It's life, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, not as we know it; it's life, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, Captain.

There's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, starboard bow;
there's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, Jim.

Starship Captain, James T. Kirk:

Ah! We come in peace, shoot to kill, shoot to kill, shoot to kill;
we come in peace, shoot to kill, shoot to kill, men.

It's worse than that, he's dead, Jim, dead, Jim, dead, Jim;
it's worse than that, he's dead, Jim, dead, Jim, dead.

Well, it's life, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, not as we know it; it's life, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, Captain.

There's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, starboard bow;
there's Klingons on the starboard bow, scrape 'em off, Jim.

Star Trekkin' across the universe,
On the Starship Enterprise under Captain Kirk.
Star Trekkin' across the universe,
Boldly going forward, and things are getting worse!

Engine room, Mr. Scott:

Ye cannae change the laws of physics, laws of physics, laws of physics;
ye cannae change the laws of physics, laws of physics, Jim.

Ah! We come in peace, shoot to kill, shoot to kill, shoot to kill;
we come in peace, shoot to kill; Scotty, beam me up!

It's worse than that, he's dead, Jim, dead, Jim, dead, Jim;
it's worse than that, he's dead, Jim, dead, Jim, dead.

Well, it's life, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, not as we know it; it's life, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, Captain.

There's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, starboard bow;
there's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow Jim!

Ye cannae change the scripting, Och, see you, Jimmy!

It's worse than that, it's physics, Jim.

Bridge to engine room, warp factor 9.

Och, if I give it any more she'll blow, Cap'n!

Star Trekkin' across the universe,
On the Starship Enterprise under Captain Kirk.
Star Trekkin' across the universe,
Boldly going forward 'cause we can't find reverse.

Star Trekkin' across the universe,
On the Starship Enterprise under Captain Kirk.
Star Trekkin' across the universe,
Boldly going forward, still can't find reverse.

I'm STILL LAUGHING MY BACKSIDE OFF!!!!!
Enjoy the earworm all!!!!

Along the lines of others who said ya gotta love your grandkids when the songs stuck in your head aren't modern or classic rock LOL....

Try getting the new theme for Tomas Tank Engine and Friends called "Engine Roll Call" stuck in your head for a metric or full century and you'd give nearly ANYTHING to be able to sing something else to remove it!!!

There are often times I'll sing some Klaatu "Little Neutrino", when I'm in a "jugular" vein, I try to get some Alice Cooper or Ozzy going, but something about the kids songs that is so pervasive that sometimes it just WON'T go away....

Got this stuck in my head the other day (at least the chorus). Came out about 1970 when I was a papergirl. Reminds me on the time me and my friends let Larry Patterson's bike tyres down We were cruel

Sh, sh, ahh, Sh, sh, ahh,
Sh, sh, ahh, Sh, sh, ahh,

Riding along on my pushbike, honey
When I nowhere near you
Round down town, in a hurry honey,
Now, I've got my sights on you
You look so pretty, she was riding along,
You look so pretty, She was singing this song,.

Ahh,
Sh, sh, ahh, Sh, sh, ahh,
Sh, sh, ahh, Sh, sh, ahh,

Putting on speed, as I tried catching up but you
Were pedaling harder, too
Riding along like a hurricane, honey
Speeding afta you,

You look so pretty, she was riding along,
You look so pretty, She was singing this song,.

Brrr, Sing this song,
Round, round wheels go round and round
Down, up pedals, down, up, down
Well,gotta get across to the other side of town
Before the sun goes down,
hey, hey

Shh, shh, ahh, Shh, shh, ahh,
Shh, sh, ahh, Sh, sh, ahh,

Well, we're riding along
on a bicylce, honey
That's a bicycle built for two
Looking at my honey
In the rearview mirror
Now I got a better of view
You look so pretty, she was riding along,
You look so pretty, She was singing this song,.

Sing this song,
Round, round wheels go round and round
Down, up pedals, down, up, down
Well,gotta get across to the other side of town
Before the sun goes down,
hey, hey
Shh, shh, ahh, Shh, shh, ahh, Shh, sh, ahh, Sh, sh, ahh,

Can't remember exactly who sung it. Think it was Mungo Jerry.

Brings back happy memories

This morning, in the shower... I swear, from some horrible crevasse in my brain... it's not even CATCHY!!! Must make it leave...
Olivia Newton-John... "I honestly.... .love.... you."
HELP! I need the Flinstone's theme song!!!
