but this thread is for those songs that get stuck in your head. So bookmark it, and use it for those instances when you just can’t get a song out of your head.

Tonight at 2 o’clock in the morning, I am still mentally humming “Backporch” by The Presidents of the USA.

“Old man on the backporch
Old man on the backporch
Old man on the backporch
and that old man is meeeee”

Lionel Ritchie wasn’t me!! Mentals, yet.

But ever since we saw Guy Sebastian in concert in Yarra Park on New Year’s Eve in Melbourne I seem to hear “Who’s that girl”(which I believe to be one of the most lame songs in recent history) at least once a day and I’ve been humming it at work all work.

My defence is “The Pushbike Song” – but I have to hum really hard to get the really solid rhythm of the preferred tune to override the subliminally pervasive yuk song.

Woops brian had gone for a wonder.

I do know it should be keep your hat on.

my favourites are Pink Floyd mainly tunes from The Wall. I’m afraid the modern groups seem so effeminate in their music & song.
But I’m just me I guess

Earworms.. wot it’s called when you get a song in your head and it won’t leave you..

If I get an earworm I start humming another song like ‘you are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happeeeeeeeeeeee when skys are grey..’

“Baby you’re a rich man” the Beatles at the moment. Was listening to Beatles on the the iPod the other day and now it’s stuck. Still it’s better than the Wiggles ones that have been stuck in my head for days on end :D

I don’t even know any “song of the moment.” Proof of my age but so much music (I use that term loosely) I hear now leaves me cold. I’m the oldies but goodies era.

Now I’m going to have this…I can just see it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PS0P7w4YCDI

well thats different lol

nothing is playing in the brian monotonously at present.
but
during the ‘tour down under’ skoda had a theme song and that wouldn’t leave me all day
and before that
leonard cohen’s ‘so long marianne’ kept repeating inside my head.

currently got Coldplay’s “Green Eyes” stuck in my head… the song Chris wrote about Gwyneth.

I have changed the lyrics to “Green Ants” because the little buggers have been chewing on me all afternoon…

Weeeeelll.. that’s stretching it a bit. There is some metal I genuinely enjoy, but most of it I just happily tolerate. When I’m picking the music, it’s more likely to be Joni Mitchell, or the soundtrack of a musical – between us we have an odd looking collection of music.

I watched Bran Nue Dae for the first time, night before last when I was really ill and couldn’t sleep. Might have to hunt down the DVD and soundtrack of that one, I loved it.

I read somewhere that studies showed the best way to deal with an earworm was to sing the song or listen to it. Apparently that got it out of your system, where trying to think of other things didn’t. I don’t seem to get them much these days in any case.

Haven’t got room for earworms atm. The kids next door are outside playing – 3 of the five who live there, plus a friend or two visiting. And the backdrop is the noise of the annual show. I live less than a block from the showground. I can hear the music doof-doof-ing from sideshow alley, there are chainsaws going atm, plus the intermittent voice of the announcer at the showring. Might have to go do the ironing in the loungeroom (the room that’s furthest from the noise!) and put on some of my own loud music on.

Sung to the Willie Nelson classic “Blue Skies” and after a morning of cutting down more timber in Mangolia…

Nothing for Green Ants, to climb on.”

Of course they are. No one would ever be writing lyrics about the poor green ant’s life being upset by a cyclone. Would they? These days they write about any old stuff.

I write bits and pieces for special occasions. Birthdays, baby births, achievements and stuff like that. Only for immediate family and never serious and never for a song before.

Oh no, that’s given me an earworm! A song we learnt in primary school which was sung in the round:

My mama did-a tell me that you go mango walk, you go mango walk you go
My mama did-a tell me that you go mango walk and steal all the number ‘levens

I tell you Sue I tell you for true I tell you
That I don’t go on no mango walk and steal all the number ‘levens

Luckily Mr Bon has some metal playing at the moment so hopefully the worm won’t last :D

That’s not true! At least according to Rock Band. I’m not generally considered good at singing – but I got Flawless Vocals on Imagine, on Expert setting! Seems to be just right in the range that I can do easily. I’d love to challenge myself with some Joni Mitchell, but it’s not available on Rock Band :(

When I used to go to pubs and sing karaoke with a friend (ah, youth!), it depended on who the karaoke operator was, as to whether I could sing in tune or not. I don’t understand much about music, but I know which songs I can reach the notes in when I sing along to the radio or CD, but often at karaoke they were in a different key and I just couldn’t hit the notes.

I doubt that very much. You can either sing or you can’t sing. You can’t be good at one and not the other.

That’s not true! At least according to Rock Band. I’m not generally considered good at singing – but I got Flawless Vocals on Imagine, on Expert setting!

MrBL once said my singing sounded like a crow squawking. :(

Well I quite like the sound of crows – but I doubt it’s true :)

I can gurantee my singing voice is worse. Even humming to myself sounds dreadful, lol.

Just the pitch for you or not. It can be raised or lowered. As in a baritone can’t sing soprano but music can be adjusted to suit.

My singing voice has collapsed since I had my Thyroid operation. My voice was the one thing I was blessed with that was above average and now it’s caput too. I was an alto but now I think I belong to the crow goup like Bubba. I bet you’re better than a crow too Bubba.

What Pomolo said…if you’ve got the “ear”, you can automatically pitch in tune whether soprano or baritone…I love hymns because you get harmonies (the Welsh are especially good at this) where each voice sometimes has a different range of notes for the same words…

When my voice was better, I would start a song so my brother could get his pitch, then we would happily sing for miles…and miles… and miles…my children don’t like singing during road trips any more…

Crying shame your thyroid op had that effect, Pomolo…singing a song to suit yourself, really lifts your mood…only worry if the dog tries to hide under a wardrobe, tho’!!

I’m not very good at mentally adjusting the notes to the next.. octave? My brain doesn’t really process music well at all. So I tend to try to stick to whatever pitch the singer happens to be doing..

‘summer’s almost gone
winter’s coming on…

no idea who or what sang it -
but we’re having cool mornings and 25C max. – very nice.

Gonna miss my baby
Gonna miss her bad
Gonna miss her bad Ohhh
Gonna miss her bad

Gonna miss my baby
Gonna miss her bad
She’s the best girl
A poor boy ever had.

There’s one CD I’ve been listening to at least once a day lately, and I’ve got a new mantra from one of the songs, to stop me from stressing and worrying when I start feeling unwell:

“Let it slide, let it slip away, the pain can’t hurt you, so forget about it”

It’s been rather nice using a musical mantra rather than just “chanting” something to myself.

Yay! It worked.

Ben Folds does it again… his song “Mess” is really stuck in my head and I want to play it out loud and singalong, but the rest of the house needs to be quiet. Its too early for music.

“but i don’t believe in god
so i can’t be saved
all alone as i’ve learned to be
in this mess i have made”

I found it and listened to it. Never heard it before but then I wouldn’t. How old is this one? Just curious because at least it is a song. I suppose because I don’t like much of todays music I miss a lot of good stuff to.

We’ve been watching the new animated video for Tim Minchin’s Storm:

1999 Mr Folds released that tune, now while he does know how to make quite the noise at times, his work on the piano can be considered quite listenable. He had a song out called “Brick” which was very very popular with a wide ranging audience. He once lived in Adelaide for around 5 years, enjoying the cosmopolitan lifestyle that Unley has to offer.

I do like Tim Minchin but I tried to survive that symphony cacophony. It was dire and has forever blighted my opinion of Tim.

Hey PM, do you mean the broastcast on the ABC where they stuffed the sound up?

We saw him live with our symphony orchestra and it was great (although we were far enough back that we couldn’t see much)

yeah that was the one… but even the re-broadcast just left me feeling flat. Maybe I should now liken Tim to prunes? Okay in small doses but too much and I get the squirts?

Yeh, maybe :) I do find his negativity/sharpness a bit bothersome in large doses, but then he’ll do a song like White Wine in the Sun or Not Perfect, and all is forgiven. I find those two songs so uplifting, although they do tear me up too.

I’ve been to Unley. Don’t understand the attraction. Because it was 1999 I was probably not listening to much new music.
