What are some songs that's been in your head recently? For me, I heard The Passenger (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLhN__oEHaw) on the radio about a week ago, and it's been in my head ever minute since
Today it's "Little House I Used To Live In" from Fillmore East - June 1971 by The Mothers.

With the World Series championship last week, "Baby Shark."

I've been going through a weird country phase lately, so "Heartache Medication" by John Pardi is stuck there right this minute.
Woke up the other morning with Robin Lane and the Chartbusters When Things Go Wrong in my head.

weird country
What artists fall into that category?
No, actually it’s a weird phase for me because i’m usually more into what some would call ‘classic rock,’ but for the last month or so I have been listening to the local country stations.
I thought country music was weird back in my day.
Right now, I have Linda Ronstadt covering Buddy Holly
To Love Somebody by Bee Gees & Janis Joplin, separate renditions.
Had Powderfinger by Neil Young and Crazy Horse stuck in my head earlier today. I figured the line " But I just turned 22" applied to me since I just turned Double 22.

A great one.....that whole album is tremendous

Went to see a community theater production of American Idiot a few years ago, and got the second song of the show, "Jesus of Suburbia," stuck in my head, day and night, for two or three days. Usually when I'm forced to listen to the rap station at work I get those "songs" stuck in my head.
Gin Blossoms Found about you got my head.

I find that listening to a song all the way to the end helps prevent it getting stuck in my head. When this is inconvenient (arriving at my destination while listening to the radio), I try to shut it off at a point where the music resolves to the tonic. If I turn it off right in the middle of a phrase, then it's more likely to get stuck in my head.
World Turning by Fleetwood Mac (from 1987, when Lindsey Buckingham had just left the first time; Mick Fleetwood's drum vest steals the show)
Today's paper has a review of Emilia Clarke's new movie. I didn't read the review, but seeing her picture made me think of "Game of Thrones" and now I have the South Park version of that show's theme music stuck in my head:

Lately (including at the exact moment) I've had " She Said She Said" by The Beatles" (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rLzfo59AdEc) stuck in my head a lot, since recently I have often been listening to the " Revolver" (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolver_(Beatles_album)) album, as well as others (such as Rubber Soul).
I tend to enjoy getting good songs like these stuck in my head, even if they keep repeating over and over again. But once a bad song gets stuck in my head (such as one I involuntarily hear on the radio or someone else playing), then it becomes torture. :biggrin:

There's a remedy for having a song stuck in your head. Try to sing the song (whatever it is) to the tune of
Amazing Grace. Don't know why, but the song will go away.

Yeah, didn't get me with that one.
Love Reign O'er Me by the Who. The grand ending on it with Keith Moon's drum roll mixed with Townsend's guitar windmills, plus the last verse with Daltrey and his screaming voice is a sight!
Today's song is "Even Though I'm Leaving" by Luke Combs.
Foster the People Don't Stop. I first heard this song in a roadgeek video years ago by freewaybrent and thats how I got hooked on roadgeek videos.
Judas Priest's "Starbreaker."
I am SO glad that I'm an old fart who doesn't recognize hardly any of these songs. So they aren't going around in my head.
As for Amazing Grace, it can be sung to a multitude of tunes, all the way from House of the Rising Sun to the theme from Gilligan's Island. (Ha. Now get that ditty out of your brain.)

Pinball Wizard by the Who. Yes lately been thinking about the good ole days of rock and they were one of the many of those days.
After falling into the YouTube wormhole last night, "Take Hold of the Flame." Originally by Queensryche, but I saw the video with them and Dream Theater performing it.
Am I the only one who's a bigger fan of DT's covers than I am their original compositions? For heaven's sake, they've played the entire "Master of Puppets" and "Number of the Beast" albums live, and did a darn good job.

You can hear that on a beer commercial -- or at the start of a Metallica live concert recording.
Today's installment:
This was really interesting to me when it came out. When I was in high school band, we played a lot of Chicago tunes and we played a lot of Maynard Ferguson arrangements. MF played the trumpet solo on the studio version.

Street Player is a recent favorite of mine, as I was awestruck by its arrangement.
I listened to "We are Siamese" from the original Lady and the Tramp after I found out the remake doesn't have it. The sadistic lines about eating the fish for some reason are sticking like an ear worm at the moment.
Today, it's a tune by John Fahey, written for Chessie system trains. This whole album has been stuck in my head in the past few days

Chessie System, more like Grumpy System.
Blind Melon No Rain from the 1990's got my head though.
Today, it's another cut off of John Fahey's Railroad album that's stuck in my head.....and a song I've played many times in a bluegrass setting
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59x9q0bsXN0
Hide In Your Shell by Supertramp when Roger Hodson was their Main Frontman. It has one of the catchiest melodies around despite it never being played on the radio when the Crime Of The Century album was out. The album was one of their greatest works as well but with songs like that one no wonder why.
I now have Shattering Song by Sausage stuck in my head. Anyone else here into Les Claypool's stuff?
On Saturday I was driving and I made the mistake of not changing the station when "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" came on. It's still stuck in my head.
That blasted Taylor Swift song from the Capital One commercial. I don't know the name of it, but all I know is that it is irritating as all getup.

Their covers on the Black Clouds and Silver Linings album are fantastic as well. Rainbow's "Stargazer" is the best cover of that song (of many - especially better than Metallica ruining it in a medley).
DT is one of my favorite's overall, at least my favorite prog metal band, notwithstanding Rush occasionally making stuff that could be called metal.
Two songs always come to mind whenever I drive or think about the US 1 bridge between Stock Island and Key West. Going to see the Keys for the first time, Phil Collins Do You Remember was on the radio. It was June 1990 and that song was in the Top 40 to be played on commercial radio, so going to Key West entering that island I think of that song.
Leaving in 1991, Supertramp's Take The Long Way Home played as I was leaving the key and heading home, so even when I looked at AA Roads photo of US 1 north leaving Key West that particular song started playing in my head.
I've had many songs stuck in my head, but the two that are the most impossible to get out of my head are "Meant to Be" and "Senorita".
Probably the best song I've ever heard that has not managed to get stuck in my head for a significant length of time is "Smooth" by Santana/Rob Thomas. That seems to add to its greatness since I have to actually listen to it more often.

All the recent goings on in the world had me look up Somebody's Watching Me the other day. It's actually pretty catchy and I added it to my YouTube playlist of 80s stuff.

Definitely an anthem, it was released in 1984 (what irony!). Yes, its relevance will increase as time continues to pass.

What's weird to me is that I remember distinctly that people were afraid of constant surveillance back during that era. Granted, more people were worried about constant surveillance coming from a government body. The irony is that people are more accepting of constant surveillance if it has a friendly face like your favorite cell phone or social media platform. I found it kind of interesting that many local governments relied more on peer pressure to enforce quarantine mandates than actually police those measures themselves.
I just explained the gist of the George Orwell novel to my wife a couple days back. She always seems surprised that I've read so many books.
There are different periods of time when I have a particular song stuck in my head. Last year it was an obscure 1987 song called "Ship of Fools" by World Party; three months ago, it was "Subdivisions" by Rush; last month it was "Silent Lucidity" by Queensryche. Now, it is an obscure 1983 tune called "Why Me?" by Planet P Project.
Sometimes I hear a song from a while ago and it just stays with me for a week or two.

I have that album someplace. That song got heavy rotation on the AOR station I mentioned in another thread yesterday, WKQQ-FM in Lexington.
Tony Carey was behind that album. He was a keyboardist for Rainbow who got some notoriety as a solo artist with songs like "A Fine, Fine Day," "First Day of Summer," and "I Won't Be Home Tonight."
For me lately, it's been this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QklPBQ008k) by John Fahey. A medley of Deep River & Old Man River
I have a lot of songs stuck in my head, like a frickin' jukebox.
My current earworm is "Boom Boom (Out Go The Lights)" by Pat Travers.
Most recently I had stuck in my head the Jewish song, Hava Nagila. Weird.

If you think
that song gets stuck in your head, then try getting
this one out!
(Fun fact: The trumpet player wrote and/or performed a bunch of the music in the movie
Borat.)
:banghead:
This song can burn in hell. Its instrumentals are generic, MGK is slurring over the same note (C#) over the whole song, the mastering is louder than Oasis (never thought that'd happen!), and apparently I would sound good with it.
My mom has been playing this on repeat for a month and a half straight. I think it's replaced "She Hates Me" as the song she and I have the most conflicting opinions over... though I think "Fitter Happier" is a big vice versa.
I recently discovered that, once you get "Cum On Feel the Noize" by Quiet Riot stuck in your head, it's impossible to get it out.

Showdown by ELO is one lately due to what is happening with the pandemic and political heads of course all fighting among each other because of it.
The rain is a metaphor for the pandemic spreading everywhere and the showdown is to see who has the best plan of action.
Mostly it is that and the fact the chorus of the song is catchy and sung in great harmony as per usual ELO.

Not a song, but my current earworm is none other than Lee Crooks' CTA voiceover announcements:

I miss the good old days, when an actual human announced the stops. But you could never understand what he was saying.
I had this song stuck in my head yesterday. I knew it was a theme from a television show with bucolic scenes in the background.
I finally figured out it was from the 80s show "Newhart."

At least those songs remind me of something positive instead of this negative crap.
Yesterday many Genesis songs were in my head at work. One especially from Selling England By The Pound called Fifth of Firth. It was the one from that album with the nice guitar solo from Steve Hackett and the great piano intro by Tony Banks and one of three long songs on it as it had some very long tracks on both sides.
