We're not gonna take it - the who

I don't particularly like this song but here we are

Long distance run around - yes

But got nag back and forth between the yes version and the red house painters cover

swamp - talking heads

just the intro

my first song - jay-z, dangermouse

the little sample singing loop

tv commercial for the boston globe

there was a tv and/or radio commercial for the globe in the 1980's. i can't remember many of the lines but I do remember that it was pretty weak lyrically. Every morning, every day life is (something)(something)to stay (or say?) but the end part was "the globe's here" repeated a few times. i looked it up: The Globe's here (the Globe's here) every morning every day, life gets brighter when you say/The Globe's here I am in the middle of a migraine headache.

pleasure and pain - Divinyls

yeah, the had a minor hit before that other song. I know it because it was in rotation on V66.

bicycle race - queen

jaws was never my scene and I don't like star wars

Lightnin' Hopkins - REM

low lands timberlands badlands birdland

clampdown - the clash

something about harrisburg and wearing blue and brown

drop dead legs - van halen

i don't know much of the words and i had to look up what album this is on. it's on 1984 which i never even owned.

after hours - velvet underground

This song just goes around and around

one more for the list below

bullet with butterfly wings -smashing pumpkins Does he really compare himself to JC in that song? I don't own any SP albums and I'm not going to investigate that any further.

A few not logged in a timely fashion

Roundabout - yes Inch by inch - song from elementary school What I got - sublime Closer to the heart - rush I had a weird dream last night and woke up feeling unrested

two recent

closer to the heart - rush i don't know the name of the song by karate but it's the one that has the chorus "i've got a feeling that I've got to change" and that was the part that was rolling around in my head.

I'll see you around - Liz phair

I'lllllll seeeeeee yoooooouuuuuu

caught up in you - 38 special

i had to look this song to find out who it was. 38 special has way more songs that I know than i thought i knew. anyway, the guitar solo is the most "turning point for the hero in an 80's movie" that I can think of.

World leader pretend - rem

Just the tiny synth part at the beginning

a couple days ago

ride my seesaw - the moody blues which eventually moved to the three stooges theme

The rainbow connection - Kermit the frog

Not sure where this one came from

here we go loop de loop

This song grates my nerves. Recent: She bop - cyndi lauper There were others but I forgot

can't get used to losing you - the beat

end of chorus, instrumental part before verse

2 while traveling

pressure drop - toots and the metals blind - talking heads

elected - alice cooper

i wanna be elected there was a ton of songs in my head recently but I haven't felt like logging in.

supertramp - take the long way home

i took the short way to work, though.

too nice to talk to - the (english) beat

why yes I think quite a lot while i look at my shoes, there's nothing to say and there's nothing to do you're just too nice to talk to

we had it all - waylon jennings

i've never liked this song, I've always thought it was overtly-sappy and nostalgic. I don't log all the songs that get stuck in my head because some of them are "too recent". maybe I should log them. A recent one was "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean" but just the "bring back" part. why do these songs get stuck in my head I have not heard either of these songs in many years it's probably best to not try to understand those inner workings.

king of carrot flowers - neutral milk hotel

in the past this song came up on random on my phone while commuting to work. i absent-mindedly sang the first line out loud on a somewhat crowded train. i have done this one other time to the song "int'l harbor of grace" by silkworm "you can keep the real estate on the top floor" both time si just decided to own it and nodded at the people looking at me

Ray ray rain - Bettie seveert

I still have this cassette in my car.

oh you beautiful doll

this was from a week ago but forgot to log it.

dry - pj harvey

i like this song so it's all good to have it stuck in my head

no - tmbg

no no no

last weekend

i forgot to log this: Living on the Edge - Aerosmith (however I don't acknowledge aerosmith past about 1977, so I don't know who this impostor aerosmith is)

You keep me hanging on - the supremes

Whoo hoo hoo hooooooo

invisible touch - p collins or genesis

i had to listen to an "oldies" station while working.

toto - hold the line

i did not know that this was toto and I did not know that the song wasn't called "love isn't always on time". the part where the chorus ends and it goes back to the verse

instant karma - j. lennon

who the hell do you think you are?

Hot lava - b52s

The end of the chorus.

what i got - sublime

the slide guitar part and a chorus over and over

Last night and today

Last night : the flintstones theme song. Today: flies in the Vaseline - clone temple pilots. I hate that fucking song.

two songs

i woke with "nobody knew her" by nina nastasia but at lunch it moved to "star collector" by the monkees

don't cry out loud - melissa manchester

this was in my head when i woke up. thinking about it, it's pretty similar to "all by myself"

colonial arms - polvo

there's been a bunch recently but the polo song keeps coming back. the other recent ones were: she'll be coming 'round the mountain gigantic - pixies i've had a series of weird dreams recently, too.

it's alright ma (I'm only bleeding) - dylan

It is indeed a hollow horn.

the perishers - sway

although the chorus is getting very close to adult contemporary "whoa-oh-oh" songs.

Say say say - michael Jackson and Paul mccartney

Just look at my face there's tears and crying
