Re: Your earworm is ...
 

This started the whole album playing in my head. I may have to go look in the basement and see if I still have the vinyl.
I wouldn't mind if all my earworms were songs like that.

A song for the season:

Nobody on the road
nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
the summer's out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets,
the sun goes down alone
I'm drivin' by your house
Though I know you're not home

Re: Your earworm is ...
 

I've got "Me and Bobby McGee" stuck in my brain. The Janis one.
And I want it out.

Re: Your earworm is ...
 

He was born on a summer day, 1951
And with the slap of a hand
He had landed as an only son
His mother and father said "what a lovely boy"
We'll teach him what we learned
Ah yes, just what we learned
We'll dress him up warmly and
We'll send him to school
It'll teach him how to fight
To be nobody's fool




ah Andrew Gold!

Re: Your earworm is ...
 

Hit the wash cycle with this one today, got to listen to the versions by:

Eric Clapton and Duane Allman
Sam Cooke
Littel Walter
T-Bone Walker

I've got the blues
Gonna pack my things and go
Yes, I've got the blues
Gonna pack my things and go
Well, I guess you don't love me
You're lovin' Mr. So-And-So

Re: Your earworm is ...
 

Thanks, Tom. Took the same trip at your 'suggestion'. Almost wished I'd listened to T-Bone Walker 4 times instead. Much as I like the other four guys, I think his is by far the best version....to me anyway.

Re: Your earworm is ...
 

I'm a big T-Bone fan, but this acoustic version of Goin' Down The Road Fellin' Bad by the Allman Brothers is just making my day. Gettin lots of strange looks as I'm wandering around the building singing this to myself. Wish I could find it an mp3 of it for the iPod. :D

Re: Your earworm is ...
 

There she was just walkin' down the street
Singin', "Do wah diddy, diddy, dum diddy do"
Snappin' her fingers and shufflin' her feet
Singin', "Do wah diddy diddy, dum diddy do"

She looked good, she looked fine
And I nearly lost my mind...........

Re: Your earworm is ...
 

Enjoyed that. However, as much as I 'appreciate' the Allman Brothers, I guiltily admit that I rarely get through 2 songs before I find that I'm looking for something from Marshall Tucker or the Outlaws to listen to instead.


As a result, I've now got this on my brain:

Gonna take a freight train down at the station, lawd...don't care where it go...gonna climb a mountain - highest mountain....jump off - nobody gonna know

Re: Your earworm is ...
 

I see your Do wah diddy and .....

I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink

I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissin' everything in sight
But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine

I woke up with Soolaimon.
Yesterday morning it was Help is on it's way - Little River Band.

God of my want, want, want
Lord of my need, need, need
Leading me on, on, on
On to the woman, she dance for the sun
God of my day, day, day
Lord of my night, night, night
Seek for the way, way, way
Taking me home

Mean Mr. Mustard / Polythene Pam / She Came in Through the Bathroom Window.

Mean Mr. Mustard sleeps in the park,
shaves in the dark,
tryin' to save paper.

Sleeps in a hole in the road.
Savin' up to buy him some clothes.
Keeps a ten bob note up his nose.
Such a mean old man!

Oh mama, I'm in fear for my life
From the long arm of the law

Re: Your earworm is ...
 

Everybody's gone away,
Said they're movin' to L.A.
There's not a soul I know around,
Everybody's leavin' town

Some caught a freight, some caught a plane
Find the sunshine leave the rain
They said this town will waste your time
Guess they're right -- it's wasted mine
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good Time Charlie's got the blues

I don't want a pickle,
Just want to ride my motorcycle

Re: Your earworm is ...
 

In honor of my ex's......

You see me on the street
You always act surprised
You say, “How are you?” “Good luck”
But you don’t mean it

When you know as well as me
You’d rather see me paralyzed
Why don’t you just come out once
And scream it

Re: Your earworm is ...
 

Do you remember the
21st night of September?
Love was changing the minds of pretenders
While chasing the clouds away

and for you youngsters ... to really hammer the point home I give you Earth, Wind & Fire

Well the first days are the hardest days, don't you worry any more,
Cause when life looks like easy street, there is danger at your door.

Re: Your earworm is ...
 

I would give you the stars in the sky
But they're too far away.
If you were a hooker, you know
I'd be happy to pay.
If suddenly you were a guy,
I'd be suddenly gay

I've been a moonshiner
For seventeen long years
I spent all my money
On whiskey and beer

I'll go to some hollow
And set up my still
And I'll sell you a gallon
For a ten dollar bill...

Now THAT is not a bad ear worm to have! :tu

Re: Your earworm is ...
 

All my life I've been searching for something
Something never comes never leads to nothing
Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope
All night long I dream of the day
When it comes around, when it's taken away
Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
Feel it come to life when I see your ghost

Jackie sits back
Reflects his thoughts for the moment
Scratches his head
And does his best James Dean

Re: Your earworm is ...
 

You're a star belly sneetch
You suck like a leech
You want everyone to act like you
Kiss ass while you b***h
So you can get rich
But your boss gets richer off you

Re: Your earworm is ...
 

:r



Breathe out
So I can breathe you in
Hold you in
And now
I know you've always been
Out of your head
Out of my head I sang

Re: Your earworm is ...
 

Awap bop a lup bop a wop bam boom.

Re: Your earworm is ...
 

Ridin' down the highway
Goin' to a show
Stop in all the byways
Playin' rock 'n' roll
Gettin' robbed
Gettin' stoned
Gettin' beat up
Broken boned
Gettin' had
Gettin' took
I tell you folks
It's harder than it looks

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
If you think it's easy doin' one night stands
Try playin' in a rock roll band
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll

Re: Your earworm is ...
 

I was just listening to this.
One of the greatest ROCK and ROLL bands of all TIME!


Sometimes I think this woman is kinda hot
Sometimes I think this woman is sometimes not
Puts me down
Fool me around
Why she do it to me
Out for satisfaction
Any piece of action
That ain't the way it should be
She needs lovin'
Knows I'm the man
She' gotta see
Pours my beer
Licks my ear
Brings out the devil in me
Hell ain't a bad place to be

Re: Your earworm is ...
 

She was black as the night
Louie was whiter than white
Danger, danger when you taste brown sugar
Louie fell in love overnight

Re: Your earworm is ...
 

I think I want Louie back...due to unforseen circumstances, he's been replaced by

Ducks say quack
and fish go blub
and the seal goes ow ow ow ow ow

But theres one sound
That no one knows

Re: Your earworm is ...
 

I know that it's evil
I know that it got to be
No I ain't doin' much
Doin' nothing means a lot to me
Living on a shoe-string
A fifty cent millionaire
Open to charity
Rock'n'roll wellfare

Sittin' in a Cadillac
Listenin' to the radio
Suzy baby get on in
Tells me where she wanna go
I'm livin' in a nightmare
She's looking like a wet dream
I've got myself a Cadillac
But I can't afford the gasoline

I got holes in my shoes
And I'm way over due
Down payment blues

Re: Your earworm is ...
 

Pardon the way that I stare
There's nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak

But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it's real
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you

Re: Your earworm is ...
 

They got a vintage Victrola 1951
Full of my favorite records that I grew up on
They got ole Hank and Lefty and there's B24
Set 'em up Joe, and play ‘Walking The Floor’.

Set 'em up Joe, and play ‘Walking The Floor’
I'm gonna spend the night like every night before
Playin' ET and I'll play him some more
I've gotta have a shot of them old troubadours.

Set 'em up Joe, and play ‘Walking The Floor’.
Set 'em up Joe, and play ‘Walking The Floor’.

All my neon neighbors they like what I play
Cause they've heard it every night since you've walked away
Every day they replace old B24
'Cause every night I run a needle through ‘Walking The Floor’

Every night I run a needle through ‘Walking The Floor’.
I'm gonna spend the night like every night before
Playin' ET and I'll play him some more
I've gotta have a shot of them old troubadours.

Set 'em up Joe, and play ‘Walking The Floor’
Set 'em up Joe, and play ‘Walking The Floor’
I said set 'em up Joe, and play ‘Walking The Floor'
Set 'em up Joe, and play ‘Walking The Floor'.

This one's back in my head again...for the past week or so. Must have been used in a show recently....maybe The Americans?

Re: Your earworm is ...
 

Four young chiquitas in Omaha
Waitin' for the band to return from the show
Feelin' good, feelin' right, it's Saturday night
The hotel detective, he was outta sight
Now these fine ladies, they had a plan
They was out to meet the boys in the band
They said, "Come on dudes, let's get it on"
And we proceeded to tear that hotel down

Re: Your earworm is ...
 

Tom, I would happily take your Grand Funk for the torture I've got going on today…

Oh, do a little dance, make a little love
Get down tonight, get down tonight
Do a little dance, make a little love
Get down tonight, get down tonight


Make it stop!!! :sl

Maybe something like this will take the sting away:

I get my back into my living…

Why should I care?
Why should I care?

Girls of fifteen
Sexually knowing
The ushers are sniffing
Eau-de-cologning

The seats are seductive
Celibate sitting
Pretty girls digging
Prettier women

Magically bored
On a quiet street corner
Free frustration
In our minds and our toes

Quiet storm water
M-m-my generation
Uppers and downers
Either way blood flows

Inside outside, leave me alone
Inside outside, nowhere is home
Inside outside, where have I been?
Out of my brain on the ........

Great song!

Did you ever hear the Anvil version they played on SoA? I little harder edged but pretty cool in its own right.

I am glad I played that. I had a Nickelback song in my head, and I was seriously contemplating suicide..... ;)

Re: Your earworm is ...
 

'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places

https://youtu.be/-_yCEVmepsQ

I think it's worth a view.

Re: Your earworm is ...
 

It's getting near dawn,
When lights close their tired eyes
I'll soon be with you my love,
To give you my dawn surprise
I'll be with you darling soon,
I'll be with you when the stars start falling

I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm going

Re: Your earworm is ...
 

"I'll be over at ten", you told me time and again
But you're late, I wait around and then (bah-dah-dah)
I went to the door, I can't take any more
It's not you, you let me down again

(Hey, hey, hey!) Baby, baby, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey!) A little time and I'll make you mine
(Hey, hey, hey!) I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo

Re: Your earworm is ...
 

Woman like long neck bottles
And a big head on her beer
I don’t like to talk about my women
But I hold that woman dear
Well, one night she go to drinking
Got out and shot up the town
I’ll be damned if she didn’t
Bring an airplane down
I don’t like to talk about my woman
But this one sure could chug ‘em down
I don’t like to talk about my woman
But this one sure could chug ‘em down
One night she started drinking
Down by the river
She dried up the river
And backed the ocean down
I don’t like to talk about none of my women
But this one sure could hold her long neck bottle beer down
When she walked into a bar
They set ‘em and got right out of town
‘Cuz she picked ‘em up a’plenty
And laid a lot of them down
Women like long neck bottles
And a big head on their beer
Now you got that down
You got that down
Well, one night she go to drinking
Got out and shot up the town
I’ll be damned if she didn’t
Bring an airplane down
I don’t like to talk about my woman
But this one sure could chug ‘em down
I don’t like to talk about my woman
But this one sure could chug ‘em down
I don’t like to talk about none of my women
But I’m going to do it anyway
Then I’m going to get
Right out of town

Who can say where the road goes,
Where the day flows?
Only time...

And who can say if your love grows,
As your heart chose?
Only time.
