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?

Heh...Eurythmics. I'm dead certain that someone out there has done a ska version of "Here Comes the Rain Again" and I just haven't found it yet. Otherwise, it's just another cover I'll have to do at some future point...

2 different people have done covers of "Photograph" by Def Leppard for crying out loud, someone MUST have done HCTRA at some point...
if not, I hereby offer to sing lead. :-)

Cool! :D I can just hear the horns now, doing the harp bit... I picture it as sort of early-era Mighty Mighty Bosstones....

Chris, are you interested? BTW, I already passed this idea to Bruce, and he refuses. Apparently he hates ska, the weirdo. ;)
