IN YOUR HEAD?!??!?!?two?

Ok, instead of the usual boring what are you listening to thread, this topic is for posting whatever song is stuck in your head at the moment. Or anything else that's on your mind currently. And if you're actually listening to the music, it doesn't really count.

Velvet Elvis - Weird Al
Elektronik Supersonik - Zlad

I is more stronger than Darth Vapour!
Days Go By - Dirty Vegas

First heard it in an old Mitsubishi commercial and ended up buying the CD
Sello Tape - Flight of the Conchords
Man Man - 10 Lb Moustache

People say you're strange, but I don't buy a word of it.
People say "Stay away from her, 'cause she's a sinking ship!"
Within Temptation - Stand My Ground
Finland - Spamalot
'You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)' by Dead or Alive. *wonders if the band name is a Schrodinger's cat reference* My brother was playing the song on DDR and it got stuck in my head.
Four thirtysecond notes, followed by two sixteenth notes, then another eight thirtysecond notes with a quarternote emphasizing it, then a whole note with that whole pattern repeating under it with an eighth rest on either side of it.

What?

You were expecting me to go 'dum-dum-pish'?

XD
Although I usually think of it as "ba-dum pshhhhh"

A drum set falls off a cliff.

Ba-dum phssss! </lame>

Good, I wasn't the only one who thought that.
Porcupine Tree - Trains
I'm looking forward to seeing them in November :)
Footloose
The Loituma Polkka, of Loituma Girl fame.

Not exactly music, but recently whenever nobody's around, I feel compelled to recite Tolkien and Coleridge poetry. Earendil and Kubla Khan particularly are stuck in my head right now.

Mh. And today I have felt, several times, an inexplicable need to listen to the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack. Each time I had a snippet of dramatic orchestral melodies in my head and craved to hear the whole piece.

Compared with Goatse and Tubgirl (the benchmarks of internet disgust, each marking one kEw or Kilo-Ew), how bad is Meatspin?
Meatspin is probably about .5 kEws. It's not for the faint of heart, but if you can stand Goatse or Tubgirl, Meatspin can be somewhat funny.
Clash on the Big Bridge, I think it's called. I'm pretty sure it's from FFV, for sure the Black Mages remix.
It's All Right Ma (I'm Only Bleedin') — Bob Dylan

Also:
Meatspin is probably about .5 kEws.


Let's turn this into a topic for rating shock images!

Penisbird: .1 kEw
Lamprey Fingers: 5 kEw
Pain Olympics: 10 kEw

As you can see, there is quite a range!
Blood on Fire, by AAA
I've been in a JPop mood lately for some reason
My interest has been stuck on a few songs for the past long while

Still Alive - Johnathan Coulton (Radio Edit)
Diamonds from Sierra Leone - Kanye West
A Certain Romance - Arctic Monkeys
You Are Never Alone - SoCalled

I listen to them every once in a while to refresh my memory and then I'll let them dance around my head when I'm not near a computer. It's a weird collection but I love them all.
Panic Attack - Dream Theater
These Walls - Dream Theater
Trinidad - Edguy

Grawbly, good song. I love the Black Mages.
Pentangle - particularly "Circle the Moon" right now. I listened to it almost every day for the past week, so like a few other songs it is stuck in my head for the moment.

Also, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency put me on another Coleridge trip. I was constantly reciting bits of Kublah Khan while I was walking home yesterday (around 23:00), and audibly enough to make the few people who passed by on the street look at me oddly. :D
Background music for the Chemical Plant Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

When I was a child, video game music comprised about half of my musical lexicon. Nowadays it's about a twentieth, but it's a VERY IMPORTANT twentieth.
Super Mario Brothers Underground music.

btw.... THANKS, phallos.
Video game music used to be my entire musical world. I just flat-out didn't care for "real" music. A couple of years ago, I finally started listening to "real" music, but then that just influenced how I listened to video game music. I spent most of about the last year just listening to video game music remixes, but now have swung back to "real" music thanks in no small part to power metal. Of course, yesterday I placed an order for the new CD by Powerglove, a remix band.

Hurricane — Pentagram

Super Mario Brothers Underground music.

btw.... THANKS, phallos.

You're welcome, but what exactly are you thanking me for?
well, if you hadn't brought up video game music, that wouldn't be stuck in my head. it's LITERALLY the first thing that comes to mind when I think of video game music.

....and there it goes again. :'(

Ah. I'm sorry then. And I see what you mean too. Usually songs don't stay stuck in my head long enough to become unenjoyable, but video game music definitely has a tendency to overstay its welcome.
Actually, I have a lot of video game music that is really nice, nothing like those tinny midi tunes.

Riven, for example (and Myst to a lesser degree). Robyn Miller's ambient music gives me shivers. Jack Wall's more orchestral and heroic music (he composed the music for Myst III and IV) is also great, but not a replacement.

Also, the soundtrack to Empire Earth - Mike Shapiro makes very nice music.

I've never actually played any of the Ultima games, but I just love the recurring musical theme, "Stones". I play it on the piano sometimes.

And then there's Haiko Ruttmann's music for The Settlers. They're so good that some of them are pleasant even in midi form.
Super Mario Brothers Underground music.

Well thanks to you too, now I've got "Platforms a Plenty" stuck in my head, which is basically an acapella version of the Super Mario Bros. Overworld Theme... the one you hear in the wood block levels in Super Mario Sunshine. I love that song, I even went so far as to make an Ultrastar song file for it... yeah, I did have that much spare time...

"Dup dup dup dup dup dudup..."

I was totally about to mention the music from Ultima Online! I used to play that game compulsively five or six years ago. I don't actually remember the music now, but I recall it being really pretty.
I actually still have a recording of Stones. But it has bad background noise, and I can't remove it with Audacity because the filter makes the notes sound washed-out and warbled.
*Looks up*

0_o Another Porcupine Tree fan!?

Yeah, I have Sound Of Muzak by said band in my head just now. The other ones recently stuck in there have been Gay Bar (Electric Six) and this piece of oddness: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3jv2cUgt1M
Given the latest Porcupine Tree album, I think it's safe to say that anyone who isn't a Porcupine Tree fan hasn't heard that album yet. :P
The end song from Portal.
sonata Arctica Wolf and Raven.
Iron Maiden Lord of the Flies.
Iron Maiden Out of the Silent Planet.
Eiffel 65 - I'm Blue
Pearl Jam - Black
U2 - Beautiful Day
Billy Joel - We Didn't Start the Fire
Joe Satriani - Why

...yeah, I don't get it either.

WHY GOD WHY

It's gonna take my entire music collection to kill that.
This, this, this, and this have provided a temporary fix, though.
The alarm ring tone on my cell phone. :(
The guy in the next cube on the phone talking about circuits.
In my heeaaad in my heeeaad...
Okay, not zombie. Wheatus - Respect.

(on radio KOL) (wooo, kol)




P.S. Bryan, the Portal song is called Alive, by Jonathan Coulton.
I.C.B.J. Siege Rope ala Science Strikes Back (from youtube). It reminds me of Love Spreads by the Stone Roses.
yesterday: chumbawumba - tub thumping
today: the pixies - where is my mind?
(and i HATE chumbawumba)
The Seminole war chant. Such sweet music for my ears.
The Monkey Island theme
3 days ago I met a girl named Juliette, and now every single time I have even the briefest thought about her, Dire Straits' "Romeo and Juliet" comes into my head and sticks there for the next three hours. Awesome song, but it's starting to get to me a little.
Freezepop - Get Drunk With Milk
it's still there.
"I Can't Decide" by the Scissor Sisters. I like some of the music, but their videos are terrifying.
How odd, I know I posted last night. I remember typing it and everything. Hmmmmm.

Anyway, it was Scotty Doesn't Know by Lustra
