Freaking CAIL just mentioned a film in another thread, and because of that I have the Judas Priest song "A Touch of Evil" buzzing in my head. Knowing me, it will be there for days now.
Don't get me wrong, it is a ripping good tune no matter what anyone but me might think...
But shit, how would you feel if everything everyone said to you was accompanied by a wailing/rending scream of "You're possessing me!?"

Ouch.

Thankfully, I have a lovely song playing for hours in my head and I just don't get tired of it.
Sabon rai, ka bani, nagode
Ceto, ka bani, nagode
Taimako, ka bani, nagode
Nasara, ka bani, nagode
Iyali, ka bani, nagode
Abokane, ka bani, nagode
It's in Hausa.

first of all, the lyric stuck in my head is:
'my hair would stick up in weird places'
...from the 'things I prayed for in my teens' part of the song "Things I prayed for":
Who WOULDN'T want to ask God things like this?
ummm, wow... the nagode video is beautiful.
I also saw the music video of that guy singing nagode in an urban context, and it is triipppppppy.
Reminds me of... I don't know? Japanese music video? South Korean music video? made me laugh.
I am happy that Meredith gets to see Nigerians producing good art.

That my hair would not stick up in weird places
And I'd be someone someday

Let it go, let it go. That damn song from "Frozen". My 3 year old grandaughter just won't stop singing it. Now she has a "Frozen" costume for Christmas!!
I am playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order!

OMG, Batty downloaded a YouTube video of "Let It Go" sung in about a billion languages. If that doesn't get the tune stuck in your head, nothing will!

I'm not even sure what the song is, but I've heard it quite a few times and it's in my head because I heard it again lately.
It's a rock song that I think was used in the soundtrack of a movie, and the chorus is something like "Oh, don't let me down" (might have words wrong). The tune is stuck in my head right now...

I watched "Anchorman 2" over the weekend, and a couple of songs from that soundtrack have been playing round-robin in my head. Right now, Neil Diamond's "Shiloh" seems to be winning.

don't know the song (which is usually the case for me) but nice visual / metaphor thingy, man.Wildling wrote:Right now, Tom Waits' Downtown Train is plowing it's way through my mind, destroying all in it's path.
Ali- you amused me with the mention of that Disney song (which I shall not name) in different languages... sounded painful.

It wasn't as bad as it could have been. It's a pretty song, and the singers were apparently trained so that their voices sounded very much like Idina Menzel's.
I'd post a link to it, but somebody would accuse me of implanting an earworm....
Oh heck. Here you go. Click through at your peril.

If you've never listened to him before, his voice may take some getting used to. It's not a traditional style voice.

I think the first Tom Waits I ever heard was someone playing me the Small Change album. The songs are way too good for me to ever think there's a problem with his voice.Wildling wrote:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ja2evWhGWHALinna Heartlistener wrote:don't know the song (which is usually the case for me) but nice visual / metaphor thingy, man.Wildling wrote:Right now, Tom Waits' Downtown Train is plowing it's way through my mind, destroying all in it's path.

I like his voice, but I can see where it is quite different if you're used to, say, modern pop stars or classically trained singers.michaelm wrote:I think the first Tom Waits I ever heard was someone playing me the Small Change album.
