Got this cd called "Stubbs the Zombie", a video game soundtrack. Most of the songs are covers of 50s songs by today's indie artists. Two songs have wedged their way without permission into my head. Oranger's version of "Mr.Sandman" (acutally quite good but get outta my head!) and most especially the Flaming Lips cover of "If I Only Had A Brain" which is too good to be true but still, enuff is enuff, get outta my head!

lately, The Vines cover of the Beatles' I'm Only Sleeping been earworming.

Spoon's "I Turn My Camera On"

Black Eyed Peas....My Humps...at least for the last two weeks....it won't go away....help!

"The Sky is Falling" by Queens of the Stone Age.


Thanks, zoom!

*sigh* i have "Molly's Chambers" comin' in one ear and Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells" (the long version) in the other ear. Since "Tubular Bells" was the theme song for The Exorcist movie, i wonder if this means that song is gonna try to exorcise the Kings of Leon tune outta my head???

Ack! Has anyone else come in contact with the Go!Team? Earworm alert! "Huddle Formation" is habit inducing. This is like, cheerleader rock or something, not much lyrics but Polyphonic Spree-like vocals with some ultra-cheery dancey music. Go!Team go-go-go! Ack!

Massive earworm attack! Chinese version of "Sukiyaki", sung by one Teresa Carpio. Hear, i must share earworm:

Sukiyaki

Actually i love this version. It's weird in an Asian Mariah Carey kinda way.

Thanks to a good friend with a cd burner I now have several of the tracks from the musical Wicked stuck in my head. It's been a week and they just won't go away. (Not that it's a bad thing, mind you.)

How do you get rid of your earworms?

I sick my earbirds on 'em!!!

Ummm...I get alot of them because I work at the mall, and they play the same drek over and over at my store. I got this one in my head, but I can't think of the farkin' name. Some wannabe alternative crap about changing your mind.

Having watched "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" recently, i now have "Twist & Shout" and "Danke Schoen" as earworms. Movie songs will do it to ya every time.

freeze frame

and oldie but one that sticks when you here it

lyrics!

ISRAELITES

Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir,
so that every mouth can be fed.
Poor me, the Israelite. Aah.

Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir,
So that every mouth can be fed.
Poor me, the Israelite. Aah.

My wife and my kids, they are packed up and leave me.
Darling, she said, I was yours to be seen.
Poor me, the Israelite. Aah.

Shirt them a-tear up, trousers are gone.
I don't want to end up like Bonnie and Clyde.
Poor me, the Israelite. Aah.

After a storm there must be a calm.
They catch me in the farm. You sound the alarm.
Poor me, the Israelite. Aah.

Poor me, the Israelite.
I wonder who I'm working for.
Poor me, Israelite,
I look a-down and out, sir.

Hay you werent supposed to TELL everyone....

yeah i am. It makes the earworm stick around longer!

Momma keeps whites bright like the sunshine...

tumbleweeds...

"The Girl from Impanema". Heard it on some comp the other day. And now. It. Won't. Go. Away.

"Young and tan and oh so lovely
the girl from Impanema
goes walkin but she don't seeeeeeeee
what she does to xccccccccccc
na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
etc
etc
etc"

There i was. Sunday night. Turned on the boob tube which i rarely do, unless for a dvd. There's Zooey Deschannel. And she's singing "Hello Dolly".

EARWORM!

Well her voice is good, nowhere near as bad as that American Idol crap but much better than most actresses who sing.

But "Hello Dolly"....

On the bright side, i've made Zooey a new mrs.xc!

pics to follow

"i'm a wife of xc now! Wheeeeeee! It's what every girl dreams of!"


"ok, i gotta string through my head. i'm a love puppet for xc"


"Forget the Mercedes Benz, xc, you can drive me home"

I adore Zooey, but Emily is my fav!

As for earworms...
that damned Fergie song Big Girls Don't Cry for weeks now!!!!!!!!! Damn it!!!!!!

i hadn't heard of Emily til i hunted down pics of Zooey. Since i'm on vacation, i'm gonna hunt down some Zooey dvds. Gotta satisfy the wife!

Zooey's cover of "Hello Dolly" is still an earworm but so is the Decemberists' "O Valencia" which i've heard quite a bit lately.
