For some reason I simply cannot fathom, I've had With joyous shout from Gilbert & Sullivan's The Mikado sloshing around in my head all day. I'm currently listening to some loud Chopin to try and dislodge it.

Like earwig I got Kate Bush's 50 Words for Snow for Christmas, plus her Director's Cut album. The reworked Song of Solomon is currently stuck in my head (as was the original when it first came out, I confess).

I make no apologies for being an unashamed admirer of a self-taught guitarist. OK, so he is using some pretty nifty gadgets, but the whole thing is totally unforgiving - one mistake and the piece collapses in disarray.

Heard it on a station that plays retro 80's/90's stuff and I've been stuck on it! Love that song!
The stuff B.A.D. did BEFORE that song is/are? great as well. One song I remember someone saying, all stuttery: "The horses, the h-h-h-h-h-horses are on the track". So many great memories of coming of age to those songs.

What's funny is that I'm a big fan of genuine (not the lame obviously made up) misheard lyrics. So, I tend to sing the misheard version of songs to get a laugh from my friends and then these songs become ear-worms all in their own right. Lately, I've had "I've got shoes, they're made of plywood. And I'm losing controllll..." instead of "I've got chills, they're multiplying" from "Grease". Also, I'll get "Smoke On the Water" stuck in my head but I'll sing it as, "Slow-motion Walter, fire engine guy". Yeah, I AM weird! ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)

I heard it on ClassicFM - first time I heard it as a "piece" (as opposed to a TV theme) was on one of my dad's brass band records - possibly Pride of the Rhondda?

A few bars of something I'm not able to identify for sure – could be a duet from Verdi's Don Carlos. I've only seen it once but that duet was familiar probably from a collection of 100 best opera songs.

Most of yesterday, and all of this morning, I've had more of a genre, rather than a particular tune, stuck in my head. Oddly enough, I keep wanting to burst out singing Pirate songs. (Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! and all that). And the visuals in my mind are even worse. A bunch of Disney-esque pirates quaffing grog and singing sea shanties...
I need therapy, NOW!
eta: last night, my co-worker kindly tried to give me a differnt earworm, but thankfully, I don't know any Hannah Montana songs and was spared that particular agony. Although, come to think of it, the pirates in my head might have enjoyed sharing space with a tween phenom ![[Devil]](graemlins/devil.gif)

I can't get "Let Me Be There" out of my head. Olivia's dulcet tones and that unforgettables 70's style bass in the backup. Simply because I saw them sing "Summer Lovin'" on Glee the other night, and the next day the LA Times posted compare and contrast on there website, noting that the Glee cast version matched almost shot-for-shot, facial expression-by-facial-expression the original by the cast of Grease, John Travolta and heaven's own Olivia Newton-John.
