and the wind cries mary - jimi hendrix

i like that you can hear the snare rattling on the recording. wouldn't happen today.

big mouth strikes again - the smiths

and I got no right to take my place in the human race

you were right - built to spill

woke up with this in my head

two songs while riding my bike:

peking spring - mission of burma

sloop john b - beach boys

makes sense to me

suggestion-fugazi

woke up with this in my head. the "what it is" part through the guitar feedback part

i blame you - they might be giants

"can't bear to keep it or throw it away"

it's on a single

since you've gone - the cars

i can't HELP it

Have You Seen Jackie? - the dukes of stratosphear

strange strange strange little girl.

i wasn't born to follow - the byrds

while i was furiously riding my bike, this was stuck in my head. last chorus through the end, over and over. I'm going to go see if I can find the easy rider dvd.

also recently i've had "sweet and low" by fugazi in my head a lot, but haven't been able to remember to write it down here.

EDIT:

i wasn't born to follow was written by gerry goffin and carole king.

you may be right, i may be crazy - billy joel

there were some other songs stuck in my head today, but this one was there the longest, and it's the worst because I DO NOT LIKE THIS SONG AT ALL.

fascination - human league

coincindentally this is the first song I was ever able to pick out by ear on the piano. it just came to me while I was brushing my teeth.

ok, this hit a snag for a couple weeks

had to wait while things got adjusted from about 7/15 to now. will be back soon.

jabberstroker - guided by voices

towards the end of the day it was "the kids are alright" by the who

(this was actually yesterday)

ice cold ice - husker du

it's funny, I woke up with this in my head. it's really hot here today.

yesterday: that county in tennesee, but just the chorus.

last few days

this girl's in love with you - bacharach (and david?)
for some reason it's a very slow version in my head

radio commercial for the dedham raquet-time athletic club. from the 80's. and I can't remember most of the words except: "living to the active beat". I remember the music.

mission of burma - the enthusiast

do you love it enough to ... LET GO!

three-fer today

most of the day at work:
fool's gold - stone roses
for a little while it was
this old man - trad.
and then on the train home it was
time - pink floyd.
I think the floyd song was because the sun was setting, I started thinking about the line "you run and you run to catch up with the sun.....etc......"

shiny like gold - orangutang

just about from the moment I got up to the moment I got to work, and sporadically since then.

earlier today

you can't get what you want, 'til you know what you want – joe jackson

run like hell – pink floyd (subway guitarist was playing it when I got on the train, then it stuck in my head pretty bad)

also, lately, when I think I'm going to miss my connecting train I start singing "We're not gonna take it" by twisted sister in my head. except i change it to "we're not gonna make it".

this doesn't really count as far as songs that get stuck in my head.

baby made me wanna be a vampire too - helium

riff before chorus, chours, sometimes a verse, the riff, chorus, etc...
i've always been a little confused about what the name of the song is. it is possibly just "baby made me". whatever, the riff is awesome.

one on the way to work, one at work

wonderwall - oasis
just the last part after the words end
in my life - the beatles
chorus into harpsichord solo
(is the song title correct?)

second flight home

the kids are alright - the who

first leg of flight home

it tango - laurie anderson
this, plus slow song - karate

full disclosure – fugazi

yep.

these are from the last couple of days (i'm travelling)

subdivisions - rush

don't lose youself- laura viers

there was another one, but I forget what it was

polly wolly doodle - traditional(?)

i only know some of the words. something about louisiana.

games without frontiers - peter gabriel

whistling tunes...

miniwatt - i can't stand waiting for it

at first it was just the song "i can't stand waiting for it", but that album is like a möbius strip, one song goes into the next, the last song goes into the first, the next thing you know you've listened to the album three times. except this was happening in my head.

my name is jonas - weezer

i woke up, and this was already in my head.

tom petty- won't back down

(pretty much just the guitar solo part)

i heard it on the radio

on the turning away - pink floyd

i had to look this one up to see if it was pink floyd or roger waters solo.

weedking/mesh gear fox - guided by voices

long live rockathon

Is this thing on?

this is where i will log the songs that get stuck in my head. 

People who

• work in fields pertaining to music
  
• are women
• are neurotic

are more likely to have songs stuck in their head.

i am one of those three.
