What song is looping in your head right now?

[Hogarth]

I'm being tormented by Kermit the Frog's "Rubber Duckie." I think it was sparked by a user name I came across while browsing the boards.

I must replace it with Monte Python's "Universe Song."

[KissMyAsscroft]

1. That song....

and the theme to the Andy Griffith show are the hardest songs to get out of your head....I swear to God, whoever wrote them should be beat mercilessly...

Almost "Whatta Man" by Salt and Peppa.....

[YellowRubberDuckie]

34. Ernie sang "Rubber Duckie" Y'All!

And you're welcome!! :grouphug:
Duckie

[onebigbadwulf]

2. MM those golden grahms!

4. Damn you, Madison Avenue!

I've been digging the Zappa discs out.

6. 'The Man In Me' Rodney Crowell

Artist/Band: Crowell Rodney
Lyrics for Song: The Man In Me
Lyrics for Album: Fate's Right Hand

There's a man in me
He's cold and he's hard
He's got an eye for deception
He's always on guard
He's swimming in concrete
Drowning in fear
And he keeps it all locked in his heart

This man is a tyrant, a fault finding hack
You can't tell him nothing
There's no turning back
He leaves blood on the highway
and scattered debris
He crawls from the wreckage
but he still doesn't see
He's alive
The man is jive


There's a man in the mirror
I don't like his looks
His teeth they are crooked
His hands are like hooks
He speaks 4 letter language
Because his mind is so small
His voice is like venom
I don't like him at all
God, I gotta get away from the man in me

She says
What are you afraid of
There's no need to judge
You know I can help you
But you won't even budge
Pretty flowers surround you
but all you can smell is a rat
She says
Why do you insist on your head in the sand
Building walls all around you, you don't understand
These ways are outmoded,
but all you can change is your hat
The man in me don't wanna know nothing about that

There's a man in the closet
He wants to come out
He wants to be noticed
But he's so filled with doubt
He wants to be well known and famous
But he's so filled with pride
The keys to his fortune stay locked up inside
Can it be the man in me?

She says
Now what are you afraid of?
There's nothing to fear
You want me to help
But you won't let me near
In your heart you can hear me
But all you believe are your eyes
Tell me why you're convinced
That a fist in your face
is all you deserve
From love you've misplaced
The truth is salvation
But all you believe in are lies
The man in me wants to believe,
but he won't even try

There's man in me,
and he's so full of hate
He's so misdirected
He thinks it's too late
Pours salt on the wounds
Only Time wants to heal
He's dying inside
And he don't wanna feel
Anything
The man is strange

7. some Peter Gabriel

No Way Out

saw a group of people forming
round a figure lying down
and someone runs to make a phone call
and the man kneels on the ground
the man kneels on the ground
the man kneels on the ground
there's a tightening in my chest.
i know that i'm drawn in
oh god let it not be - you

don't leave us
don't leave like this
don't leave me here again
i'm not quitting on you
there's no one else
you're not quitting on us
no running out

the colour in your shirt is darkening,
against the paleness of your skin
i remember how you held the goldfish
swimming around in a plastic bag
swimming around in a plastic bag
you held it up so high
in the bright lights of the fair
it slipped and fell
we looked everywhere

don't leave us
(your eyes are bright, your blood is warm)
don't leave like this
(your heart is strong, you're holding on)
don't leave me here again
(i feel your pulse, i hold your hand)
i'm not quitting on you
there's no one else
you're not quitting on us
there's no way out
no way out
don't leave us
don't leave like this
don't leave me here again
(i feel your pulse, i hold your hand)
i'm not quitting on you
there's no one else
you're not quitting on us
no running away - no way out


(It's far more beautiful and less depressing than it seems from the lyrics. Two other great pieces from the album are 'Sky Blue' and 'More Than This'.)

[AlienGirl]

8. Mad World!!!

And it's pulling me further into depression, I swear...or is it just expressing the depression? Either way, I'm depressed, and Mad World is on in my brain. Over. And over. And over...

9. Unfortunately...

...thanks to some sadist bringing up the Quiznos ad, I'm now stuck with "I like the mooooooon!"

I must buy the CD and listen 1,000 times to purge the song from my brain.

[philosophie_en_rose]

39. Shake it like a polaroid picture.

I had that song stuck in my mind for days.

[terrya]

15. The Wasted Years - Iron Maiden. Woke up with it in my head

:shrug:

edit: Oh, we're posting lyrics too?

From the coast of gold, across the seven seas,
I'm travelling on, far and wide,
But now it seems, I'm just a stranger to myself,
And all the things I sometimes do, it isn't me but someone else.

I close my eyes, and think of home,
Another city goes by, in the night,
Ain't it funny how it is, you never miss it til it's gone away,
And my heart is lying there and will be til my dying day.


So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years,
Face up...make your stand,
And realise you're living in the golden years.

Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind,
Can't ease this pain, so easily,
When you can't find the words to say, it's hard to make it through another day,
And it makes me wanna cry, and throw my hands up to the sky.


So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years,
Face up...make your stand,
And realise you're living in the golden years.

[Loonman]

16. "...a Few Hours After This"

By the Cure.

[LWolf]

17. Banana boat song.

Day-o, day-ay-ay-o
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Day-o, day-ay-ay-o
Daylight come and me wan' go home

Even though I didn't work all night, and I'm already at home. I just don't want to go to work.

[Nevernose]

18. "Mob Rules" by Black Sabbath

19. Hey Ya

They were playing it on NPR right as I got to work...

I don't mind.

20. "The Boxer"--Simon and Garfunkel

Every morning, it's a different song. Yesterday, it was the "Coconut Song". At least I know the words to "The Boxer"!

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

21. "11 O'Clock Tick Tock" by U2 (nt)

[populistmom]

22. "The First Cut is the Deepest" by Sheryl Crow

[arwalden]

23. Everybody Have Fun Tonight! Everybody WANG CHUNG Tonight!

[terrya]

24. The video of that song is disturbing!

With the flash cuts and all.

Love the song though (I think "To Live and Die in LA" is Wang Chung's best)

Terry

[arwalden]

27. I Enjoyed "Dance Hall Days"... Also "Be Near Me" (ABC) is another one from

that time period that also gets stuck in my head. Fortunately, both of them bring back good memories so it's no too terribly annoying, just mildly annoying.

-- Allen

[terrya]

29. "The Look of Love"

One of ABC's hits. That song brings back some very nice memories.

Terry

[Richardo]

32. My brother! I'm a "To Live and Die in LA" fan too....

I even liked the movie! :thumbsup:

[terrya]

33. So did I, my friend!

I really liked the movie. William Petersen was terrific, as was Willem Dafoe.

Terry

[Aristus]

25. "Somebody's Baby" by Jackson Browne.

It was playing on the radio when I went out to start my wife's car. Could do worse. Could do a whole lot better, too.

[ComerPerro]

54. That is a catchy song

Damn you for mentioning it.

[CanuckAmok]

28. "We are the Champions"

And I always wondered...

If we *are* the Champions, why do we need to keep fighting 'till the end'?

[YellowRubberDuckie]

30. Britney Spears "Toxic"

I was just on MTV...and I kinda like it. GOD HELP ME!
Duckie

35. Wrong, wrong, wrong!

Ernie did Rubber Duckie, not Kermit!

[philosophie_en_rose]

36. Maroon 5

How dare you say that my behavior is unacceptable
So condescending unnecessarily critical
I have the tendency of getting very physical
So watch your step cause if I do you'll need a miracle

You drain me dry and make me wonder why I'm even here
This double vision I was seeing is finally clear
You want to stay but you know very well I want you gone
Not fit to funkin' tread the ground that I'm walking on

When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
You'll understand what I mean when I say
There's no way we're gonna give up
And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe

What you are doing is screwing things up inside my head
You should know better you never listened to a word I said
Clutching your pillow and writhing in a naked sweat
Hoping somebody someday will do you like I did

When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
You'll understand what I mean when I say
There's no way we're gonna give up
And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe

Does it kill
Does it burn
Is it painful to learn
That it's me that has all the control

Does it thrill
Does it sting
When you feel what I bring
And you wish that you had me to hold

When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
You'll understand what I mean when I say
There's no way we're gonna give up
And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe

[MissMillie]

37. Burn by JoDee Messina

probably because it's playing on my MusicMatch jukebox

[Mr.Green93]

38. badger badger

[arwalden]

40. I get knocked down but I get up again! You're never going to keep me down!

[Richardo]

42. The Homer version...

"I take a whiskey drink
I take a vodka drink
And when I gotta pee
I use the kitchen sink" :D

[arwalden]

43. I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth...

I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth.
You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth.
She's got a pad down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine.
Sellin' little bottles of Love Potion Number Nine.

[trogdor]

44. Close to the Edge by Yes

I just LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE 70's prog rock.

50. Mamma Mia, Here I Go Again! Why-why did I ever let you go?

[randr]

51. Blues Project--Live at Town Hall

[Westegg]

52. Sad to say, it's by Melanie...

"I've got a brand new pair of rollerskates/You've got a brand new key.
I think we ought to get together/and try them out, you see...."

Ugh!!! Of course, these days, that song would probably be banned by the FCC.

[Dragon Turtle]

53. Who Is The Lolo Who Stole My Pakalolo by Don Ho

57. "And A Bang On The Ear" by The Waterboys

Damn thing has been playing first thing every morning since late 1997. Trouble is, it's a wonderful song. Six years is getting a bit much, though.

Lindsey was my first love, she was in my class.
I would've loved to take her out but I was too shy to ask.
The fullness of my feelin was never made clear
So I send her my love and a bang on the ear.

:crazy:

60. "Wide Open Spaces" by the Dixie Chicks

"Move it on Over" by George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers.

[Flaxbee]

65. "We Like Tha Moon"

by those weird little rat/hamster things ... just clicked on another DU thread, went to rathergood.com and can now not get those floaty little boggle-eyed creatures and their song outta my head.

AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[curlyred]

68. Coz it is close to us!

I can't get it out of my head, either. :)

[everythingsxen]

66. I am afraid that my answering that question...

Would horrify eveyone on DU so much that I would be instantly banned.

Yes. It is *that* bad.

[Shananigans]
