what song do you have stuck in your head?

[Danmel]

I have "Big Me" by the Foo Fighters

[taterguy]

1. Amplifier

Don Dixon's version . . .

I've always wondered what the hell Danny did.

[kaitcat]

2. Ram Jam -- Black Betty

[Scuba]

3. You have my sympathy.

[kaitcat]

5. Lol. Thanks.

GnR Civil War will usually get rid of it.

[Scuba]

4. The good one is ...

... "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield.

Then there's this evil one, that just won't go away...

[jakeXT]

6. Don't gimme that by Boss Hoss

They play it during dancing lessons...

[HopeHoops]

7. "The Things we Do For Love" - no clue why, howEVER....

I can't listen to it without altering the lyrics to "You think you're going to break out and she says she wants to make out."

[Doc Holliday]

8. Van Halen's new single, "Tattoo."

Heard it on the way to work this morning.

Actually, the only part that's "stuck" is: "Swapmeet Sally, Tramp-stamp Sue....from housewife into bombshell in the time it takes to get a new tattoo..."

That describes a co-worker of mine who apparently wants to be scooter trash when she grows up.

[KurtNYC]

9. Albert King - "Born Under A Bad Sign"

I been down since I began to crawl...

Hard luck and trouble is my only friend
Been on my own ever since I was 10
If it waddn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all.

[pipi_k]

10. Thank goodness

right at the moment, there's nothing.

However... a few months ago I suffered through two weeks of Katy Perry...

Probably wouldn't have been so bad without the visuals that wouldn't go away...

[PassingFair]

11. "The Kooks"

She Moves In Her Own Way:

Love, love, love The Kooks.

[Broderick]

12. This one. You have to listen though

[Paladin]

13. "Jane" by Jefferson Starship.

Heard it in the car yesterday morning, can't get it out of my head. Great song....

[pipi_k]

16. Love it!

It's one of those "Can't help playing air guitar and air drums along with the band" songs.

[Iggo]

20. That is one of the very few Starship songs I like.

And I like it a lot.

[UTUSN]

14. "Tonight we are young" by the group "Fun" from the Chevy "Sonic" commercial

I think is is about the second video I have watched at all, and I find it reminiscent video of the windblown plastic bag in American Beauty that the aimless kid watched endlessly. I like how the band here look like typical musicians, focused on their music, seemingly oblivious to the showmanship side, and dressed up for "recital". And the slomo spattering that doesn't splatter anybody, where everybody seems immune (because of their youth) to the ugliness. And the falling bodies.

The music video is inside this bigger link, the isolated Youtube of it doesn't work for me:

19. My daughter LOVES this group...but doesn't care for this song.

She's a huge Motion City Soundtrack fan and they opened for them a few years back. I have to agree with her that their first album just blows your mind. She doesn't care for this song (anymore) because it's more commercial (yeah, she's in the "music snob" age group).

[UTUSN]

31. She then probably won't like these other two either. I'm just a big bubble-gummer

The key for me, which I guess translates into "commercial hit," is that there be an irresistible MELODY. That's probably why I'm the biggest TCHAIKOVSKY fanatic ever. If there's MELODY, everything else falls into place. Lyrics are nothing to me. Was it Dr JOHNSON who said, "What is too silly to be said is sung"?!1 The big hits for me have melody, a repeated hook, counterpoint, throbbingness. Did I mention MELODY?!1

Jessie J, Price Tag:

Fanny Lu, Tu no eres para mi:

Christina PERRI, who do you think you are:

[frogmarch]

15. I'm Henry the VIII

by Herman's Hermits:

&feature=related

[Rambis]

17. michael stipe natalie merchant billy bragg

[Avalux]

18. "Walking Through That Door" by Future Islands

It's been stuck in my head for the past couple of days, but that's OK because I like it.

[ScreamingMeemie]

21. "This Woman's Work"...

Don't ask me why. It wasn't on the radio, television, etc... It's just there.

[derby378]

35. There needs to be a ska version of that song

My mind works in mysterious ways. Right now, there's a ska version of This Woman's Work playing in my head right now with the lead singer from Diablo Swing Orchestra belting out the vocals. I can't help it.

Maybe if I listen to Lake Tahoe again, Kate can bring me back down to Earth once more. Damn good song. And what a departure from much of her earlier works!

[geardaddy]

22. Parted Ways

by Heartless Bastards.

I love that song.

[Iggo]

23. This one. And I wish I could get rid of it 'cause it's bummin' me out.

Those Were The Days -- Mary Hopkin

[Danmel]

24. oh man

I feel for you. I once had ebony & ivory stuck in my head. That sucked

[nadine_mn]

25. Into the Wild

otherwise known as that song from the Citibank commercial

the song is good, but I hate that stupid commercial

[Amerigo Vespucci]

26. Cibo Matto, "Blue Train"

Ain't no pain on the blue train...blue train...blue train...

[RiffRandell]

27. I love that fucking song!

When I talk about it...it's a good song to have stuck in your head, at least.

[sharp_stick]

28. The freaking iCarly theme song

my daughter loves that show and it takes me forever to clear it out.

Although the cover by "Less Than Jake" isn't half bad.

[Myrina]

29. Steely Dan - Deacon Blues

... so smooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooth .....

[ceile]

30. "Eye Sore" Lucious Jackson

&ob=av2e

[kentauros]

32. Nothing at the moment (or very often at all, really.)

But when I do, it would be one of these (that most of y'all have probably never heard of or want to )

(with lyrics and translation)

[dana_b]

33. "Jeremy" - thanks to this:

[derby378]

34. The music from Robert Balducci's 1969 film CLOWN

Never could forget that bittersweet music no matter how many years it's been since I saw that film.
