    This week it's "Jealous Again" by the Black Crowes ...

    Jeff,
    
    
       Just learn the tunes, play them for a couple of weeks; then you'll
    be able to get them out of your system...
    
    
    For the most part.

    Last week, it was Cajun Girl, off Little Feat's latest. 
    
    I used to have this problem with Little Feat tunes all the time,
    I would play one of their albums while getting dressed in the morning,
    and I couldn't shake the music all day.
    
    Same with Jeff Beck tunes like "Cause we ended as lovers".
    
    Years ago, I used to have this nervous thing where I would constantly
    tap out rhythms with my fingers. I would do it secretly, so no one else
    knew I was doing it. It was a good way to get through boring classes,
    meetings, etc. Didn't do much for test scores, though.

    Sapphire -- Solo by Ronnie LeTekro off of the TNT lp Tell No Tales!

    
    
    "People get Ready" by anybody.  Those Slooooooow solos in a major key
    make me sound like a better player that I really am... <grin>

Gawd !  How could I forget this !

Electric Requiem (sp?) by the one and only Queensryche.
Boy, that song makes the hair on my neck stand up !

Sheesh, Bucks still hooked on TNT.  I gotta get this CD!

    "Tom Sawyer" by Rush once kept the sandman away for a whole night!!

    Mystery Train by Elvis/Butterfield/Jerry Garcia band has been running
    non-stop through my head for the last week

    I played nine holes of golf yesterday afternoon with the two solos from
    the live version of Cream's "Crossroads" playing over and over in my
    head.  I'm surprised how many of the lix I can actually remember, and I
    have NO idea when the last time I heard that song was!

Flying In A Blue Dream.

The title sez it all.  That song is the one that goes thru my head just before
REM sleep hits home, ya know ?  The intro with the buzzing crowd in the 
background.  Aybody know what I'm talkin' about ??
jc

       That also happens to me with songs that I may be writing 
    or have written. It's usually when nothing's happening or
    when I'm trying to figure out a part.
    
    You?

	I remember being 15 and about 70 miles from home on one of my
	(ahem) excursions, trying to fall asleep under a stairway at
	the University of Rochester and hearing hours worth of Aerosmith
	"Dream On" in my head. It took me until Permanent Vacation was
	released before I could lissen to them guys. Extremely bitter
	experience.

	Lately I get more of the "Addams Family" and "Baby Elephant Walk"	
	kind of stuff or worse yet "Pennsylvania Polka"

Eric Johnson's FOggy Mountain or whatever the title is...

     I always seem to get stuck with a few winners-
    dead kennedys "Chicken farm" and "a growing boy needs his lunch"
    peter gabriel "on the air" and "white shadow"
    PIL "fat chance hotel"
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    pretty wierd huh???
    
    BiLdO a.k.a.-bart =8vO

    I often get a song stuck in my head. Unfortunately, it's never a song
    I like!!
    
    F'rinstance, today I've the unfortunate task of entertaining "The Right
    Stuff" by NKoTB. Seems at 5:30 this morning the TV played about 2
    seconds of the song, and it's been with me ever since....
    
    Gaaark!!

    The problem I have is hearing a snippet, recognizing it but not
    able to recall what it is.....and knowing that in a few days I'll forget
    all about it, until I get another "clue".
    
    Sometimes I get lucky, and it'll be when I'm listening to the radio and
    can wait for the DJ to announce the piece.  50% of the time I already
    own the $%$#@ thing.

re: Edd, Brian

I do the same things.  I'll remember just a little piece of a song and then
it'll drive me nuts trying to remember enough that I get to a part I know 
to identify the song.

I remember once several years ago (this made a big impression on me) waking
up with a sing in my head, humming it all the way through my shower, and 
suddenly (like a sledgehammer to the forehead) realizing it was WHAM as I 
was shaving.  I almost cut my throat...

    Funny, my wife and I were just talking about this the other day.  She
    read (in, I think, the _Old Farmer's Almanac_, of all places) that the
    Germans have a word for this type of thing.  I can't remember the word,
    but it translated to "ear worm".

    With me it's usually commercial jingles.  Gag me with a soap powder.
    Just recently though I've had the MTV takeoff of "Paradise City"
    running 'round my head.

    "Take me down to Atlantic City (don't forget your teeth!)"

     Shoot, there it goes again...

     -- Sam  "I said, 'THE GUITAR PLAYER IS TOO LOUD!!!'"  :-)

    "Ear Worm", yeah I do bleeves I heard the same thing. I think the
    german word is "stuckenheadenosplittzen"
    
    Usually the only thing that will cure me is hearing the song, a fate
    I'm not looking forward to given the tune du jour...
    
    "Oh, oh, oh, Oh, oh...
     Oh, oh, Oh, Oh...(The right stuff...)
    
                      AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

    Eagles' "Chug all Night" cause I wore out the album and it took years
    to get another copy...

      I go through days to weeks of this situation. This month it's a song
    by Crack The Sky called Dog City. Very Pink Floydish with a lead that
    keeps haunting my brain as I'm slipping off to sleep. I kinda like it.

    The songs that keep me up all-night are the tunes my neighbor's
    teen-age son plays all night.  ;-{)

    Dave you could always just turn it up a little on Thursday nights...

    "Happy Boy", recorded by "The Beach Farmers". I used to hear
    it ALL the time on Friday mornings (~7:50am) on WAAF where listeners
    would call in and do farm animal sounds during the guitar break.
    It was actually pretty funny to hear people make total jerks of
    themselves. The FUNNIEST thing about it was that my brother-in-law
    wrote that song. I played him a tape of what WAAF had done with it 
    and he laughed so hard. Anyone who's ever heard "Happy Boy" knows that 
    anyone who would write something like that *has* to have a sense of humor.

    All of "Never Look Back" by Blues Saraceno for me...  Scary stuff!

    Have you ever had that un-nerving experience where you hear this
    song or instrumental one day and you remember it all day, you get
    home and play it on your guitar (or what ever), you go to bed humming
    it, you go to work next day humming it ......
    
    
    Then you stop
    
    
    Then a hour later....you can't remember it..Oh no!...did it go da
    da da da or was it da da da dee? Its four hours until you get home
    and can remind yourself. 
    
    Put it out of your mind and it will come back.  But it doesn't.
    
    Home at last....put on the tape.....oh thats it..of course...how
    could I have been so silly. I'll think up a little code to remind
    myself how it goes, when I forget again tomorrow.

    	'Meet Martin Riggs'.....almost went crazy
    
    You know that bit in Lethal Weapon where Mel Gibson tries to blow his head
    off...got it off the soundtrack one night...drank lots and it wouldn't
    go away for days and days...even when I sobered up.
    
    Mr Clapton is the man to blame for that...
    
    Only thing that saved me was a piece on a live Larry Carlton Album that
    was equally depressing. Anyone know what its called ? Don't what the
    album is called either...but its really sssssllllooooowwwwww and its
    just accompanied by an electric piano.

    "Bike" by Pink Floyd. This song seems to come when I am in a boring
    meeting. The trick is not to smile.

The song I was mentioning is "40 mile town" off Ah Vai Musicon (Eric Johnson).

    The rowing oars at the beginning is sooooo sooooothing... ;-)
    
    When I first got that tape, I couldn't get "Cliffs of Dover" and
    "Trademark" out of my head too.

    Hey Fred Abatelli!
    
    		Dah  Cuum Faga    Dah Cuum Faga
    
    This is a song Fred (and me) wishes he could get out of his head.
    
    Someone attending the wedding we played yesterday wrote it with
    these bogus african lyrics and rehearsed it with us, and we have
    not been able to stop singing it since.
    
    Sorry Fred - I know... I'm cruel...

    Thank you Dave!    ;^)   ;^)   ;^)
