What song's in your head today?

Asked by ibstubro (18804points) February 16th, 2015

We used to have a lot of fun with this, and I’m hoping we can again for a few days, at least.

I’ve been wondering how Randy Travis is doing lately so On the Other Hand.

When that sorta brought me down, I hit Happy and asked the question.

Links a plus.

Have fun.

Inexplicably, the alphabet song.

OMG…I JUST heard that old Chicago song…..” does anybody really know what time it is, does anybody really caaaaare…..” Aaaagh…make it stop!

dxs's avatar

The non-word parts of “Under Pressure” have been stuck in my head for a while now.

Watched the film last night & that’s all it took.

Today, 500 Miles this version not the original for some reason. Perhaps because I used it to get Joan Jett out of my mind.

Going for an 11 mile walk in the warm sunshine while listening to a recored book.

rojo's avatar

Hey @gondwanalon gotta song for you….. Listen to the 500 miles one before you go and you will be set for your 11 mile jaunt.

An old song from the last 80’s by an obscure band… “Lover on a Rainy Day.” I asked Fluther about it some time ago.

AAAArrrrrggghhhh!!!! – Ozark Mountain Daredevils!

You should not listen to your old recordings.

majorrich's avatar

Robin Hood and Little John walkin’ through the forest.
Laughing back and forth ‘bout what the other’n has to say.
Talkin’ this and this and that and having such a good time.
Oodilolly oodilolly, golly what a day.

It’s an earworm I caught from a commercial. From the Disney
animated Robin Hood.

Sung in a soothing, mid pitch, female voice “You’ve got mail!”

syz's avatar

I wake up wit a random song at least 50% of the time (often songs that I don’t like or only know a line or two of). Today’s is My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark

Earthbound_Misfit's avatar

People, people who need people. It’s been in my head for a couple of days. I have the urge to do a Babs and belt it out. Unfortunately in comparison to Ms Streisand, I sound like a frog. So I’m resisting.

ibstubro's avatar

I can see how that might get caught in your head, @ARE_you_kidding_me. Reminds me of Ren and Stempy! Good times, good times.

Well, we were asked about educational songs recently, @thorninmud.

I like that Chicago song, @Coloma. lol

Um. Thanks for not linking, @dxs. lol

Good song, @ucme. I’m not familiar with the origin. Is that Robert Plant in the video?

My sympathies, @rojo, on the 500! ~

Song, @gondwanalon.

Still can’t help you, @linguaphile

I love that song, @rojo, but you might like your women like you like your chicken!

I don’t have commercials, @majorrich.

No clue, @Dutchess_III.

Not sure I’d be good waking to that, @syz, lol.

Turn it up and don’t sing too loud, @Earthbound_Misfit. :D

dxs's avatar

@ibstubro I thought that song was common knowledge!
bee da dep

ibstubro's avatar

No, no, @dxs. I know the song! I appreciated you not sharing/link. lol ~

Judi's avatar

None today but yesterday it was the Hokey Pokey. Don’t ask me why. I have no idea.

AshLeigh's avatar

I’ll never get naked in your shower…

Constantly… I don’t even know. It’s catchy.

Earthbound_Misfit's avatar

And the Babs earworm has now been replaced with the Pussy Cat Dolls and Don’t cha.

XOIIO's avatar

Comprachicos by pendulum.

Ridiculously good. Been in my head for a few days really.

ucme's avatar

@ibstubro Yes it is Plant & two members of Duran Duran, a very brief alliance.

XOIIO's avatar

Found this song through 4chan on a webm lol, but it’s pretty catchy too. No clue what it means but it’s good lol

original Yeah it’s terrible but it made me laugh because I’m a terrible person.

ibstubro's avatar

Oh, I love Roger Miller, @majorrich. At least once a month I’ll play King of the Road in a loop in my head.

Hokey Pokey’s fun, @Judi. (I hope you weren’t caught doing it. lol)

Umm, Funny, @AshLeigh, but my life would be short if it was stuck in my head for long. :-)

Beautiful song, and new to me @DrasticDreamer. You must have had a mellow day.

Mood swings? @Earthbound_Misfit (I found #2 more entertaining.)

Comprachicos by pendulum Must be the musician in you, @XOIIO. Cool but too intense for me to maintain a loop.

Cool, @ucme. Never heard of it, even if it’s from my ‘era’. Thanks.

Earthbound_Misfit's avatar

That’s just the way I fly @ibstubro.

Earthbound_Misfit's avatar

^ That’s one of my favourite pick-me-up songs @Kardamom. I defy anyone to listen to that and not want to get up and dance (or at least move in some way).

linguaphile's avatar

Today it’s RENT…
… let’s find a bar so dark we forget who we are, where the scars from all the nevers and maybes die…

DrasticDreamer's avatar

@ibstubro Was just thinking about a particular moment of my life and how it went so horribly wrong, but how it’s going fantastically right again years later. :)

ucme's avatar

I can’t fucking stand that bastard Jagger song, makes me wanna dance about as much as a restaurant full of diners scratching their forks on their plates.

Earthbound_Misfit's avatar

Well you can sit in the corner with your newkie brown and have a good whine. @Kardamom and I will be fine dancing on our own.

ucme's avatar

I wouldn’t be whining, how silly. It’s just a daft song, nowt to get worked up about.
I’d simply carry on conversations as usual & wait for something decent to be played.

rojo's avatar

Woke up, fell out of bed,
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup,
Looking up I noticed I was late.
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke,
Somebody spoke and I went into a dream.

ibstubro's avatar

Got a good beat and it’s easy to dance to, @Kardamom, @Earthbound_Misfit, eh? :-D

NO idea, @linguaphile. None.

Glad you shared with us, @DrasticDreamer.

Of course, the only obvious wrong answer to “What song’s in your head today?” is trying to refute someone else’s answer, @ucme. Chill

Good one, @rojo.

Dutchess_III's avatar

“All of my love, all of my love, oh, all of my love to you you YOU *YOU!” NO idea why. Just woke up with it in my head.

ucme's avatar

I’m perfectly chilled thanks & I didn’t try & refute anything, just gave my opinion that’s all.
I’m not responsible for translations of an otherwise harmful remark.

ucme's avatar

Enough of that nonsense, back to the question.
I usually don’t have songs stuck in my head, it’s movie themes that I get.
Today, it’s that below…quite appropriate really.

“I’m gonna bust some tag, I got twenty dollars in my pocket” unintelligible part “this is __king awesome” heard it thundering through the car from a thunder car behind me at the stop light this morning. Which is, by the way, cold as can be thank you very much.

Smokey Joe’s Cafe This morning…...“Hey, be careful!! That chick belongs to Smokey Joe!”

XOIIO's avatar

Hey baby by deadmau5 will be in my head for a while, there is an instrumental version but the quality is just slightly muddy and the bass not as crisp (to be expected when people remove lyrics)

ibstubro's avatar

Been a while since I visited Loudon, @rojo. Thanks

Dutchess_III's avatar

One a’ these days these boots are gonna walk all over you…......

ibstubro's avatar

My sympathies, @rojo. ~

Dutchess_III's avatar

She’s probably gonna be somebodies baby tonight….

You know, I just realized that I seem to have a song in my head 24/7. 99% of the time I just don’t realize it unless I stop and think about it.

keobooks's avatar

My husband introduced my daughter to Archie cartoons this morning. For some reason the Jughead theme song from 1968 got caught in my head.

dxs's avatar

“People fall in love in mysterious ways!”

ibstubro's avatar

I couldn’t take that for long, @keobooks. Does child services know your husband is torturing the baby? ~

keobooks's avatar

Slightly off topic, but in that video I posted, the guys were holding their guitars way up on their chests. Who does that?

Here’s a pic of some guy posing like that. Doesn’t

keobooks's avatar

Edited .. I see where it comes from now. It was an early 60s thing. John Lennon wore his guitar that way because he was nearsighted and couldn’t see the chords if the guitar was in the normal position. So it got to be a fad to wear it up high for a short time.

I meant to put this on my last post but the edit timer went to mid edit, as you can see.

ibstubro's avatar

Who could stand to watch the video long enough to notice??

Dutchess_III's avatar

“Workin’ like a hurricane,” or what ever those words are to what ever song that is.

I heard Message in a Bottle on the radio and it was in my head for days. I never liked that song!

^^^Wow. What a sad waste.

I was never a fan of The Police or Sting @dxs.

Lay down and boogie and play that funky music till you die.

I get songs from RENT stuck in my head often… right now it’s:

where all the scars from the nevers and maybes die!
Let’s go out tonight. I have to go out tonight…
