Hey Jude, da da de dahhhhh.....

I blame the whistler outside the library window.

Meet me at the coffee shop, we can dance like.... Iggy Pop...

Lust for Life, also by the Mr Pop. Bit ironic given how I'm feeling though....

"Oops I did it again."

I ought to explain this. Last night I went to a Richard Thompson gig. (Richard by the was is without doubt, the man).

He played it. He doesn't look as good as Britney Spears but he is certainly THE man.

PP

Oh, Britney!

I have an instrumental thingy bit from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. (Someone was playing the CD).

Still "Oops I did it again" for Christs sake.

PP

"Pump it up" by Elvis Costello and The Attractions

it was "Tribute" - tenacious D but now it's the thomas the tank engine themetune as it just appeared from nowhere on the telly.

Thanks to you I now have the theme song from Bewitched(or maybe I dream of Jeanie; I can't remember which is which)in my head. I don't always have a tune in my head though I am very susceptible to suggestion. So you have your own life soundtrack do you? How cool is that? You must be a very calm person.....music soothes the savage beast. What I hate is when you get stuck on a song you can't remember important words to; maybe you can help me; "hello, there it's been awhile.........................(I forget these lines) "I'm not talking bout movin in, and I don't want to change your life, but there's a warm wind blowin the air around, and I'd really like to see you tonight"
Do you remember the missing opening lines and/or the group who sang it? It's a 70's or 80's tune.
ciao!

Opening myself up to ridicule if I'm wrong, which I probably am... is that song by Elton John?

I didn't have anything stuck in my head until I looked in on this thread, and now, yes, it's "Oops, I did it again..."

Mambo No. 5. It's used as the tune for the test match coverage on Channel 4, and now it's stuck in my head!

RF

Why on Earth is *that* being used for the cricket?

DB

Hang on, I'll ask...

RF

to you too...

TV soundtrack choices are fairly random aren't they?

D

I don't know what the song is, I've just got the bass line and it's driving me mad!!!!

Having just read the article on Eurovision 2004 in todays , I now have "Wild Dances" by Ruslana stuck in my head again.

Well done, I can't even remember what Wild Dances went like, though for some reason I now have the theme tune to 'Wizbit' stuck in my mind... "hap-ha thisaway, hap-ha thataway, hap-ha thisaway my oh my..."

Never got a reply from the "nice" people at Channel 4 cricket so I don't know why they use Mambo No. 5. Unless they're researching it deeply and are fact-checking as we speak...(I did get a "email read"-type message so I *know* they've seen it)

RF

hello cowgirl in the sand... by Crosby, Stills etc. is stuck in my head right now..

'Hey mama' by the Black Eyed Peas - a song so cool you could chill your beer with it
