That song is stuck in my head!

[gjmalcyon]

I heard of someone on the ride during a malfunction and they were stuck in there for over an hour! Justifiable homicide time.

That's when you hope you know someone with a neuralyzer from MiB.

Earworms.

Like this (and with apologies for what I am about to do):

I knew one of the guys who was in that band for a bit, Chuck Trois.
He was also in the Soul Survivors, the National Bank and the Amazing Maze.
Philly, late 60s.

Could be worse, Replacments "Skyway"

"It's A Small World After All" after visiting Disneyland in Florida in 1980.

Just as a heads up I am going to close this when the song I consider the ultimate earworm gets posted. As a hint it premiered at the 1964 World's Fair and



They didn't consult with me.

You win but you loose. Consider the thread closed once I remember where the lock button is.

Not before l sneak in "Chewy Chewy", "Elusive Butterfly (of Love)", "Pop, Pop, Fizz, Fizz", and ""I'd Like to Teach the World To Sing"

This little number should require a license and informed consent waivers before playing.

But it doesn't, so here goes:

I absolutely KNEW that song was queued up next on your playlist! Suspended for TWO weeks from the LTG Forum.

What's next A Horse With No Name?

Don't hate on that song - it only has two chords which means I can play it.

 

[plaidseason]

I hate to do it but whenever this comes on the radio I have to quickly change it before it infects me.



And don't get me going about how it teaches kids the wrong way to spell "cars"!!

I hate you for this! LOL.

I listen to a lot of baseball . . . and this song . . . ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Actually, I like the melody and acoustic guitars on that song. It is the meaningless words of the refrain that drives me crazy.

But, I'll play along. Try and get this earworm out of your head:

If you want to switch earworms research the connections between Starland Vocal Band and John Denver and, IIRC, Eva Cassidy.

This thread is for when a song gets stuck in your head. Let us know what it is and maybe it can get stuck in our heads, too.

Here's my current one, over and over since Thursday, just one verse.

A gathering of angels
Appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope
And this is what they said, they said
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me.

Etc., etc. Again and again.

Nice! I've been on a Yacht Rock kick for a while now... I've got a Spotify playlist full of nuggets like that.


This one haunts me often when my mind drifts

In a predictable fashion I will say that I have either not heard most of the earworms listed or I do not recognize the title or performer.

If you want to switch earworms research the connections between Starland Vocal Band and John Denver and, IIRC, Eva Cassidy.

Or the connections between Starland Vocal Band, The Slickee Boys and Root Boy Slim & the Sex Change Band.

Pretty cool. I didn't know that Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert co-wrote Take Me Home, Country Roads with John Denver. That's an impressive writing credit. They also sang back-up vocals on the album Spirit (1976) and toured with John Denver. Bill Danoff earns extra credit for playing a Guild.

Hmmm. You suppose GAD's got one?

I enjoy Michael Chapdelaine's cover of the Gotye song in that "earworms" list:
