Don't know how to describe it. Have ever had a song that just lingers in your head? I go days with the same song playing in the back of my head. I can sit at work...home....driving, and some how hear the same song alwys playing in the back of mind. It affects my mood to. Sometimes I hear angry music or aggressive music and it changes my mood...or my my mood changes the song in my head. Just don't know how to describe it. Sometimes it's laid back music and my mood is changed. Well anyhow the song I can't get out of my head the past couple of days is this one.

Gets me a little fired up and pissed off at times and others it just mellows me right the fuck out. Maybe the acid all through college really did fuck me up or I just associate all of my moods with music somehow. I don't know. :? It's weird to think my life has been reduced to a soundtrack.

    Gordon Lightfoot? Really? Did you hear it somewhere and it just stuck?
    That sometimes happens to me. Or something will happen and a song will just pop in my head and stay for days.
    Maybe it is the subconscious trying to tell you something. Or maybe it is just a catchy tune. :P

    Usually it's the last one I heard or the last one I played. Last night I was playing around with the riff from Corduroy just before going to bed and that's what's been rattling around in my head since I woke up. It would be interesting to understand the mechanics of the brain that makes this happen.

    Awesome thread :thumbup:

    Pennywise - Bro Hymn is the one for me http://youtu.be/pXoxpiegMPM

    For a long time you couldn't go to a punk show without someone covering this song at least once...and every now and again someone will still bring it back. But yeah, I'll just be doing my dailies and all of a sudden the woah-woah-woah-woahs just pop into my head!

    At least it's a really good song to get stuck in your head and It could be worse than your life being music and reduced to a soundtrack... It could just be silence, what kind of hell would that be. Enjoy the music.

    Radiohead - Dollars and Cents. Every time I listen to that song, the bassline is stuck in my head for days!

    Another one that gets stuck in my head all the time lately is Cinema by Benny Benassi. Just the chorus tho. Catchy tune right there.

    For me its usually just parts of songs... a bass line, a drum solo, a chorus. Rarely ever is it the full song. It'll just kinda play in a loop in the back of my head for days until I listen to the song again. That seems to be the only cure, tho it doesnt always work.

    I hate it when you get a song stuck in your head that you dont like, or even know all the words to... and its just there... your mind just kinda pieces it together. Shit happens to me all the time. Usually some shitty Phil Collins song or something from the 80's. :lol:
