I Am the Ultimate Music Geek™

Some days the most bizarre songs get stuck in my head. Some are along the glaringly obvious (i.e. so stupid it's catchy) to the bizarrely obscure (i.e. only me and perhaps lynxreign would know it). The only good that comes of this is if I sing any of them out loud and get it stuck in someone else's head for three days straight.

To wit:

"Baby Elephant Walk"--Henry Mancini
Bolero comp. Ravel
"Saturday Night"--Bay City Rollers
"Thunder Island"--Jay Ferguson (I think)
"Anitra's Dance" from Peer Gynt, comp. um...er...???
"The Girl from Ipanema"--Stan Getz
"King of the Road"--Roger Miller
"Kansas City"--The Beatles

On the other hand, I found out that Clear Channel is proving that payback's a bitch. I've been hearing that damn "Piano Man" by Billy Joel each and every day for the last two months. GAAAAAHHHH!!!!

Anyone else have musical ghosts that haunt them?

That's okay...the other day Bruce and I were talking Jeb stuff and I had "Sanguine" stuck in my head for the next half hour...

I should instigate a jam between TFB and Jeb...would make for an interesting twist... Like Sebadoh with J. Mascis as guest vocalist...oh, wait a minute, that actually happened!! (I kid you not...and the two are doing a Northampton show w/Sonic YOuth sometime in May...)
