I always have music in my head and I was wondering if other people have something similar.
Cranberries
Now that I think about it, is “zombie” the thing in the head, or the subject of whom the question is being asked?
What’s in your head, zombie?
What’s in your head? Zombies!
I saw a user profile earlier that said
“There is nothing worse than having a Cranberries song stuck in your head, in your heeeeeeead…”
Always. My kids ask what song I am ‘breathing’ when I am doing chores around the house, as it domes out in my breath as a pseudo whistle without me realizing it.
Currently it is Regina Spector - Two Birds, as my eldest is obsessed.
Only with entirely wrong lyrics, and often mixed with recent covers.
I had to look up the title but The Tide Is High, but I always struggle to make out what the words are after “I’m not the kind of girl” and my brain goes on infinite loop trying to figure it out, even losing recollection of what it even sounded like and becoming more incorrect as a result.
I’m not the kind of girl that looks up from her knees next to daaaad oh noooo ooohhhh Plus the hup hup hup hup from the black vocals remix
Almost always, but the song changes. Right now it’s Knucklehead by Grover Washington Jr.
This song’s gonna get stuck inside your
This song’s gonna get stuck inside your
This song’s gonna get stuck inside your
Heeeeeaaaad
Suzanne Vega - Tom’s Diner Pops into my head often since the 90s.
The only time I don’t have something playing in my head is when I am actively listening to music.
At the moment its the guitar bridge from “In a Big Country” by Big County. If I pay attention to it the song will continue to the end. But if I’m ignoring it, it’ll stay constant guitar solo.
French Class - Robot Tune I saw this little animation a few days ago and since then I can’t get this song out of my head. What’s cool is the artist actually made this animation their official music video for the song too.
It changes up two to four days.
Currently it’s Witness (Hope 1), by Roots Manuva.
Last week it was The Caves of Altamira, by Steely Dan
Caravan Palace - Mirrors https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2y6RQFKEsc
- Song is catchy. 2) Animation is so crisp.
Bonus: 1 hour loop of the bridge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2trHz4_aSg
Oooooooh this one is fun, as I just solved the riddle today! I kept getting Korn’s Falling Away From Me stuck in my head, which would morph into other Korn songs, etc. I couldn’t figure out why the fuck it was in my head so much. Today in the shower I had Nookie in my head which is a song I only recently remembered existed in the first place. For whatever reason, nookie morphed into In the End. And then. THEN it turned into Falling Away From Me because of the similarities of the piano ending of In the End reminding me of the guitar intro to Falling Away.
I have been going through this for days. It drives me nuts. Why on earth would Nookie be in my head? I’m 37, and I did my time with Limp Bizkit and Korn… cut to today when my phone alarm went off before work.
I have an alarm set to play The Head That Controls Both Right and Left Sides Eats Meats and Slobbers Even Today, because the beginning is a Japanese woman absolutely shredding vocally. It is a good wakeup.
So. Today, and all last week, I’ve had a rapid earworm race from The Head–>Nookie–>End–>Falling Away. All the way to work in the morning.
After that it’s just whatever is playing around me.
Might change my alarm.
So how this works is either me or my youngest son start singing or humming the song in our head and the rest of the family catches on. Repeat.
My wife is a songwriter. I have her latest song stuck in my head.
Yeah, this weird, orchestral rendition of All Along The Watchtower. It’s the damnedest thing.
