What Song is "going around in your head"?

For me it's Wonka's Welcome Song from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I don't see how anyone can walk out of that movie (I loved the movie by the way) and not have that song stuck in their head. Of course, it doesn't help that I bought the soundtrack right after I saw the movie and have listened to the entire thing about 20 times. I love Danny Elfman!

If you want to hear the entire song, watch this trailer

Just don't blame me if the song gets stuck in your head too :D
 
The 3rd Movement from Beethoven's 5th Symphony. Sorry, different drummer. I did manage to segue in to "Because You Love Me" by Celine Dion for a few moments. And all that without Ritalin.

I was listening to the Billboard Charts of different years and in 1987 (i think) I came across

Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now by Jefferson Airplane/Jefferson Starship/Starship & Starship.

WHY MUST I ALWAYS GET STUPID '80s SONGS STUCK IN MY HEAD.

Yeah, and how come I can remember all the #$&*ed lyrics, yet I can't remember our anniversary...

"We built this City" Starship
Worst single ever according to http://www.usatoday.com/life/music/news/2004-04-18-worst-songs_x.htm

"Don’t you remember (’member)(’member)

(what’s your favorite radio station, in your favorite radio city
The city by the bay, the city that rocks, the city that never sleeps)

Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don’t you remember
We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll

We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll

(we built, we built this city) built this city (we built, we built this city)

(repeats out)"

Yes, thats the one. My fiance wanted to duct tape my mouth closed after we saw that movie. Ever since then, I've had that song playing in my head at least once a day. BTW, have you seen the Techno version that they have on the ITMS. Its great. :D I can't imagine actually dancing to that at a club, though. I think that I'd just bust out laughing if I heard it in a club. I heard a dance version of a song from the original too, the other day... its the song Willy Wonka sings in the chocolate room in the original.

Rkristich, I loved the movie too.

I'm sorry... :eek:

I know that's really an annoying one... but just be glad you don't get this one stuck in your head, which is a hazard for all Norwegians who listened to music the summer of 1989... Now then you'd relly need lots of musical therapy... :D





AAARGH... need... good... music... now... :p

I saw the DJ mixes, and I couldn't stop laughing as I listened to the 30 second samples. I would probably buy them if you didn't have to get them with the album (since I already bought the cd).

Right now the soundtrack is number 2 for top selling albums on iTMS, so I'm sure lots of people have the Welcome Song in their heads. The Oompa Lommpa songs are pretty addictive too!

I already can't wait for the movie to come out on dvd, so I can watch it whenever I want. It's too bad movie tickets are so expensive, or I'd have already gone back to the theater and watched it a few more times.

It's an aac file with one of the worst summer hits ever, in Norway at least. Shouldn't really crash anything... :confused:

Try downloading it and use iTunes to play it... then delete it fast before it gets stuck in your head... :D
 
Pretty much any song from daphne loves derby... but there's one specific line from "Midnight Highway" that is haunting me:

"Tonight I said goodbye, but I should've said more"

'nuff said :(
 
The one that gets deep into my mind is "Always Look At the Bright Side of Life":

words and music by Eric Idle

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath

Life's a piece of ****
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

And always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the right side of life...
(Come on guys, cheer up!)
Always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the bright side of life...
(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)
Always look on the bright side of life...
(I mean - what have you got to lose?)
(You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!)
Always look on the right side of life...

Great tune, Chip.

I'm currently trying desperately to rid myself of a children's song by Dan Zanes called "All Around The Kitchen (Cock-a-doodle-doodle-doo)" or something like that. They must have played it two or three times today while my boy was watching Noggin. That song is insidious. I only wish I could get a bad 80's song (yes, even Dead or Alive's one lone hit) stuck in my head to drown this one out.



I may come to regret that last statement. ;)
 
"Whoa o oh, listen to the music; Whoa o oh, listen to the music...."
Can't even remember who did it......Dooby Bros, Chicago? Can't remember. Anyway, that's it.....

Sounds like "It's A Small World After All" that we get hit over the head with at Disney World with. I was ready to go "Postal" over that song on my one visit so many years ago to Disney World. Today I still have bad "flash backs".
:D

Oh lordy, it's the Doobie Brothers.

Have to admit I quite like that era of Doobies and Chicago et al., Saw Chicago and the Doobies live, the opening act for the Doobies was Huey Lewis and the News, pre-hits, they put on a good show.

Chicago was the Terry Kath/Peter Cetera era and they hit the stage and played for 2.5 hours without stopping. Great show.

Man, you may be showing your age.

I remember seeing Chicago as an opening act for I believe the Beach Boys. I went for the Beach Boys, but ended up loving Chicago!

I love IIRC the Staples Back-To-School ads, with the sound track of "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the YeaR'; with the parents riding the carts down the isles.....
 
Right now...

"Some Say" by Rascal Flatts

But I don't mind

Woof, Woof - Dawg

This morning I am stuck on the tune "Let Go" by Frou Frou. It's on the Garden State soundtrack. Awesome, awesome tune.
