The Song in Your Head Thread

[Parasaurolophus]

Today's earworm: Rachel Platten, Fight Song.

I heard it out in the world yesterday. It stuck.

I heard Alice Merton's No Roots for the first time driving home on Friday.  It's stuck in my head now.

Tiger Family Trip from the PBS show Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood.

We're heading out on a two week road trip and this is how we get our son ready.

Incubus, Aqueous Transmission.

I loved the song years ago; less now that it's been stuck in my head for over two weeks.

My ear-worms are mostly task-specific.

Really annoying ones remind me I need to pay a bill.

The tunes my music students are working on remind me I need to do my weekly scheduling email on Sunday nights.

Playford dance tunes remind me I need to get my clothes in shape for tours starting in July.

Swing tunes tell me there's a Sat. PM dance upcoming.

Chant reminds me to get that paper on medieval processions done.

Or, if I'm trying to sort out a chord progression on a tune I'm working on for a performance, it will intrude in the most unfair way on almost anything else, anytime, anyplace (going home on the subway at midnight last night? Hunh?)

I also have a most disciplined/undisciplined auditory memory...  Tunes I heard once a long time ago will also come bouncing back, and I'll have to reconstruct context and content to figure out what it was.

The inner radio of my life.

It ain't easy bein' green...

"Daybreak" - Barry Manilow.  Don't ask.

"Daybreak" - Barry Manilow.  Don't ask.

I always liked that song. I learned it at one point and performed it.

OK...I can admit I like Barry Manilow.  My kids do the eye-roll thing.

My Monday morning playlist is an hour of Barry Manilow. I've been enjoying Manilow Sings Sinatra lately.

[ergative]

Australia's Eurovision song Zero Gravity. Dang, that was cool!

Ugh, I heard a snippet of Dark Side of the Moon yesterday and now I CANNOT MAKE IT GO AWAY.

Oooh, Parasaurolophus, this is an evil thread...yikes! <Runs away covering ears>

My current earworm is "Born to Be Alive."  Although I'm not usually into disco, this was on the playlist in my dance exercise class, and the instructor's choreography was particularly fun.

Hehehe!

I was always told that you can get rid of an earworm by singing Oh Canada! to yourself. I imagine the same should be true of the Star-Spangled Banner/God Save the Queen/etc.? It's always worked relatively well for me, at least.


Today's, for no reason I can discern: Tegan and Sara, How Come You Don't Want Me
