do you have a song stuck in your head right now?

Post Reply New Topic

it was "love me with all your heart" for a few hours, then my brain switched back to "where or when." at least that wasn't as bad as last week's earworm, "surfin' bird."

Rush Rush-Debbie Harry

There's a way, a way to squash all of your fears
When everyone around you seems to be a stranger
You feel their eyes upon you, you're hearing their thoughts
As they walk away, the voice grows louder
Illusions illuminate
Why let illusions dictate your next move?
You're bound by deception, and a misled direction

Wishmaster...some European band...

LAST years troubles
they shine up so prettily
they GLEAM with a LUSTRE they don't have today
here it's just dirty and violent and troubling
etcetera

Been singing it all morning.

"3 o'clock in the morning" by lou rawls

Regulator by Dein Townsend.

World / Inferno's "Friend in Wien", for the last couple of days.

I'm not entirely sure what it's about, though. On the face of it, Nazi persecution, but it also sounds like it's a rebuke to someone, and I don't get it.

'Til I hear it from you-Gin Blossoms

A lot of memories associated with that song.

Ruby Tuesday at the moment

Carismatico - Babasonicos

Tengo que aprender a fingir mas, y a no mostar lo que siento, tengo que aprender a fingir mas, y a pilotear lo que pienso.

Yeah, it's a little annoying, but it's alright as "songs getting stuck in your head" go, I've had a lot worse. Worse is when you have a song stuck in your head that you only know one line of the lyrics of, so the same line is going through your head followed by an audible "..." as you struggle to remember what comes next, only you can't so it just repeats in your head like a broken record.

"I Can See for Miles" - The Who

I don't actually want it in my head. I thoroughly listened through one album years ago, over and over, and can safely say that I think they're overrated, down to the last ill-metered lyric.

Plateau - Meat Puppets, except this one is covered by Nirvana in the 1993 Unplugged with the Meat Puppets.

I been wanting to sing it but people will think I'm crazy just saying;

"Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand
To beautify the foothills, and shake the many hands"

And it's a new night, and the song is now "Stand on Your Own Head" by They Might Be Giants.

This.

Last week I left a note on Laura's desk
It said, "I love you, signed anonymous friend"
Turns out she's smarter than I thought she was
She knows I wrote it, now the whole class does too
And I'm alone during couple skate
When she skates by with some guy on her arm
But I know that I'll forget the look of pity in her face
When I'm living in my solar dome on a platform in space

Cause it's gonna be the future soon
And I won't always be this way
When the things that make me weak and strange get engineered away
It's gonna be the future soon
I've never seen it quite so clear
And when my heart is breaking I can close my eyes and it's already here

I'll probably be some kind of scientist
Building inventions in my space lab in space
I'll end world hunger, I'll make dolphins speak
Work through the daytime, spend my nights and weekends
Perfecting my warrior robot race
Building them one laser gun at a time
I will do my best to teach them
About life and what it's worth
I just hope that I can keep them from destroying the Earth

Cause it's gonna be the future soon
And I won't always be this way
When the things that make me weak and strange get engineered away
It's gonna be the future soon
I've never seen it quite so clear
And when my heart is breaking I can close my eyes and it's already

Here on Earth they'll wonder
As I piece by piece replace myself
And the steel and circuits will make me whole
But I'll still feel so alone
Until Laura calls me home

I'll see her standing by the monorail
She'll look the same except for bionic eyes
She lost the real ones in the robot wars
I'll say "I'm sorry", she'll say "it's not your fault -
Or is it?"
And she eyes me suspiciously
Hearing the whir of the servos inside
She will scream and try to run
But there's nowhere she can hide
When a crazy cyborg wants to make you his robot bride

Well it's gonna be the future soon
And I won't always be this way
When the things that make me weak and strange get engineered away
It's gonna be the future soon
I've never seen it quite so clear
And when my heart is breaking I can close my eyes and it's already here ...

- Jonathan Coulton, "The Future Soon"

Yeah, I've been on a Coulton kick lately...
