Pop life

A Madonna song off her new album. The one with the worst lyrics EVER:
"I don't like cities
But I like New York
Other places make me feel like a dork"
and
"Other cities always make me mad
Other places always make me sad"
A dork? Seriously, Madonna, is that the best you can do? And rhyming mad with sad is just pathetic, unless you're Doctor Suess.

Seriously, are there other words to that song? Because just that one line has been stuck in my head all week, and I want to cry.

for the last four days, my officemate has continually acknowledged that 'eye of the tiger' is running through her head. it kicks back up when she accomplishes something here, no matter how small. office work, 'eye of the tiger?' I guess I put that song in the gym category, following the socialization of 'rocky.'

At all times, when another song is not taking its place, I have the limbo song on a loop in my head. It makes me crazy. And every so often, it will go away, and right at that moment, my sister will ask, "Limbo?" and it will start up again. She's evil. But same sister bought me seasons 1 and 2 of Tales from the Crypt for my birthday, so the intro to that is in my head right now.
Oh, and Sebastian, it's "Love letters in the sand." come on now.

slb / January 31, 2006 3:45 PM

"Roll...out...those...LAZYHAZYCRAZYDAYSOFSUMMER!!!!"
"Those days of soda...and pretzels...and beer"
"Roll...out...those...LAZYHAZYCRAZYDAYSOFSUMMER!!!!"
"You'll wish that summer..was already...HERE!!!"
That song came on the radio many many years ago when I was tripping my brains out, so the chorus was thus forever burned into my brain. I don't even think there are any verses, just that "100 bottles of beer on the wall"-esque repetition.
And now it will play through MY head for at least a week. THANKS!
michelle / January 31, 2006 4:28 PM
"Here we go...Here we go...Pittsburgh's going to the Super Bowl...here we go" from 1997-1998, written by some super fan with a Casio keyboard, a tin ear, and way too much time. This song was EVERYWHERE for 2 months. I'm originally from there and somehow managed to avoid football for most of my life - and now it's back to haunt me.

Right now it's "We Repel Each Other" by the Reigning Sound. Which means I get a quick break from "True" by Paul Wall.
SherylCrowFan / January 31, 2006 11:06 PM
"Why does he do me that way?" is the missing link to "Human Nature," sirs.
My song is "Come on Eileen" by Dexy's Midnight Runners, an accidental song, as I hate everything it stands for, notably overalls without undershirts.
Other stuck in my head songs: "Goodbye Holly" by the Left Banke, a cover of "Landslide" by the Dixie Chicks (guilty pleasure!) and "Penthouse in the Woods" by Scud Mountain Boys.

Two songs, actually, and they alternate. Just when I think one is gone, the other is back.
The first:
The B-52s "Mesopotamia"
"six or eight thousand years ago/
they laid down the law!/
in Meso... potamia!"
The second:
Talking Heads "Burning Down the House"
"I'm... an... or... di... nar... ry... guy
BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE!"

Cra-zy-go-ing-slow-ly-am-I-6-5-4-3-2-1-SWITCH!
I also scramble for the mute button whenever a Menards, Luna, or Empire commercial airs to try to head off those horrible, insidious jingles.

Golden Girls theme song "Thank You for Being a Friend"
Thank you for being a friend
Traveled down the road and back again
Your heart is true you're a pal and a confidant
And if you threw a party
Innnnvited everyone you ever knew-oooooh
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say thank you for being a friennnnnnnnnnnnd.

"Dark Day," a 1979 song by the Fred Anderson Quartet, including Fred, Billy Brimfield, Steve Palmore and Hamid Drake. Recorded live at the MCA.
Although unrelated, the song has, at times, reminded me of some lines from a Henry Chinaski poem:
"in the most decent sometimes sun
there is the softsmoke feeling from urns
and the canned sound of old battleplanes
and if you go inside and run your finger
along the window ledge you'll find
dirt, maybe even earth.
and if you look out the window
there will be the day, and as you
get older you'll keep looking
keep looking
sucking your tongue in a little
ah ah no no maybe
some do it naturally
some obscenely
everywhere."

I always manage to get songs stuck in my head for which I can't understand the lyrics. as my brain replays the song over and over, I start deciding what the lyrics are. rarely are they correct. (a rare triumph: "we've got 200 couches" actually is a lyric for Interpol's "PDA.") often I prefer my own lyrics. I still think Pixies' "Debaser" is more evocative if it's "sex in a bottle" instead of "slicing up eyeballs," and Black Francis isn't a lyricist I generally want to quibble with. anyway, right now I've yet to decide on any lyrics for "center of things" by Arks, but that's the song on repeat in my head right now, so I'm sure I'll be misquoting them soon.
(and no, I'm not just pretending that's the song in my head 'cause I thought having a song off an album that's not on any label would make me cool. or because I want the people who run Gapers Block to be impressed by my mentioning a band from their Transmission page. I'd actually already heard of them before I read of them here. I actually do have that song stuck in my head. download the mp3 off arksmusic.com and join me.)

"I Remember You" by Skid Row. Heard it on the radio a couple weeks ago, and it's been popping into my head ever since.
