Song in my head...

Since I am currently working on a university paper about traditional Newfoundland music, the song in my head right now is Saltwater Joys by Buddy Wasisname and the Other Fellers . The song is about a Newfoundlander who must choose between leaving home to look for work, or staying in the place he loves, Newfoundland.

Drivin Along In My Automobile

Cake - Going The Distance

I'm normally not a Cake fan, but when I'm in my car, on the highway, weaving in and out of traffic trying to get to work and the first chords let me know what's playing, I can't help but crank it. Great driving song.

Finally I've got Kylie out of my head
Now it's:

Apples + Oranjes

what if the sun refused to shine?
what if the clouds refused to rain?
what if the wind refused to blow?
what if the seas refused to wave?
what if the world refused its turn?
what if the stars would hesitate?

what if, what is isn't true?
what are you going to do?
what if, what is isn't you?
does that mean you've got to lose?
digging for the feel of something new

what if the silence let you dream?
what if the air could let you breathe?
what if the words would bring you here?
what if this sound could bring you peace?

what if, what is isn't true?
what are you going to do?
digging for the feel of something new
what if, what is isn't you?
what are you going to do?

it came from your thoughts, your dreams and visions
ripped up from your weeks and indecisions

what if the sun refused to shine?
what if the clouds refused to rain?
what if the world refused to turn?
what if the clocks would hesitate?

what if, what is isn't true?
what are you going to do?
what if, what is isn't you?
does that mean you've got to lose?
digging for the feel of something new

does that mean you've got to choose?
the feel of something new
does that mean you've got to lose?
the thoughts you cannot use
what are you gonna do?

Bent 4 U (Alanis Morissette)

You're unsure and you're not ready so that must mean I want you
You're unavailable and disinterested and to you I look for comfort

A million times in a million ways I will try to change you
A million months and a million days I'll try to somehow convince you

I have waited for you and adjusted for you and I'm done
I have deferred to you and enabled you and I'm done

You're too young or you're too old or you're simply not inclined
You're asleep or you're withholding be that my cue to crave you

Several times in several ways I'll try to squeeze love from you
Several hours and several ways I'll feast on scraps thrown from you

I have bent for you and I've deprived for you and I'm done
I have depressed for you and contorted for you and I'm done
I have stifled for you and I've compromised for you and I'm done
I have silenced for you and sacrificed for you and I'm done

It won't be long before I am reclaimed
It won't take long and I'll be on path again
It won't be easy for us to disengage
I'm at the end of self deprivation stage

You're afraid of every woman afraid of your inner workings
You cringe at the thought of living under the same roof as me god and everything

A million times and a million ways I've tried to alter to match you
Several times every several days I've tried to uncrush on you

I love her!

Didou Bowtie extraordinair! Posts: 5,898

I posted a song that I'm listening to often these days on the Cool Mp3's thread.

It's a mix of Jazz & African vocals. Not your average radio track.

But as long as you like it Didou, that is all that matters. Because I have a song in my head that is just frusterating me to death. My roommate got a stupid e-card the other day, and it had a song attached to it. Well he downloaded it and it is the dumbest song ever. Anyway he thinks it is funny, so he plays it all the time.

you're taking my life away
ruining everything

what do you want from me

far away from / the life that I once knew
what does it matter / thats all I have to say
and I can imagine

you're taking my life away
ruining everything

The Goldstone Rap

Didou asked for it, not tliteraly, but by slagging it off:

(BAD Music)

When the whistle blows, and the fans cheer / you can hear the roar from the Palace pier
Push the ball Through the gap and pull it back / make a run up the center to the point of attack
when you make that cross you're gonna cross it fine / give the ball to the player on the dead ball line
The (unaudible) he's learned / he'll knock it in the box and make a shot on the turn

Theres a shot at the goal and the fan's go wild / you can hear them singing from the 7 dials
Theres a flash of colour and its blue and white / and its in the back of the net to the fans delight
Now the skippers going deep and theres a run on the wing / (ABSOLUTELY UNAUDIBLE) gonna feel that sting
Give us 1 more, 1 more, the temperature starts to rise / now we found a space and we got the pace to catch them on a big surprise

The Goldstone Rap, the Goldstone Rap

The Goldstone Rap, the Goldstone Rap

Now we're staying on attack, keep our (something) on the rack / till the ref gives his final blow
Now we won't look back, like a bullet from a gun / we'll make a killing with every show
Now the fans clap with every pass / and theres action on the bench
Theres a dreamy ball thats floating down / and we've all got a thirst to quench

Its a goal, its a goal, its a goal can you hear the noise
Its a goal, its a goal, its a goal for the brighton boys

The Goldstone Rap, the Goldstone Rap

The Goldstone Rap, the Goldstone Rap

The Goldstone Rap, the Goldstone Rap

The Goldstone Rap, the Goldstone Rap

The Goldstone Rap, the Goldstone Rap

The Goldstone Rap, the Goldstone Rap

The Goldstone Rap, the Goldstone Rap

(fades into oblivion)

It would not come

still it "WOULD NOT COME"

If I make a lot of tinsel then people will want to
If I am hardened no fear of further abandonement
If I am famous then maybe i'll feel good in this skin
If I am cultured my words will somehow garner respect
I would throw a party still it would not come
I would bike run swim and still it would not come
I'd go travelling and still it would not come
I would starve myself and still it would not come
If I'm masculine I will be taken more seriously
If I take a break it would make me irresponsible
If i'm elusive I will surely be sought after often
If I need assistance then I must be incapable
I'd be filthy rich and still
It would not come
I would seduce them and still
It would not come
I would drink vodka and still
It would not come
I'd have an orgasm still
It wouldn't come
If I accumulate knowledge
I'll be inpenetrable
If I am aloof no one will know
When they strike a nerve
If I keep my mouth shut the boat
Will not have to be rocked
If I am vulnerable I will be
Trambled upon
I would go shopping and still
It would not come
I'd leave the country and still
It would not come
I would scream and rebel still
It would not come
I would stuff my face and still
It would not come
I'd be productive and still it would not come
I'd be celebrated still it would not come
I'd be the hero and still it would not come
I'd renunciate and still it would not come

Coldplay - In My Place

In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn't change
I was lost, oh yeah

I was lost, I was lost
Crossed lines I shouldn't have crossed
I was lost, oh yeah

Yeah, how long must you wait for him?
Yeah, how long must you pay for him?
Yeah, how long must you wait for him?

I was scared, I was scared
Tired and underprepared
But I wait for you

If you go, if you go
Leaving me here on my own
Well I wait for you

Yeah, how long must you wait for him?
Yeah, how long must you pay for him?
Yeah, how long must you wait for him?

Please, please, please
Come on and sing to me
To me, me

Come on and sing it out, out, out
Come on and sing it now, now, now
Come on and sing it

In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn't change
I was lost, oh yeah
Oh yeah

These guys are brilliant in making simple but very meaningful songs.

Shivaree: Goodnight moon
from the album "I Oughtta Give You a Shot in the Head for Making me Live in this Dump"
(c) (p) 2000 Odeon Records

There's a nail in the door
And there's glass on the lawn
Tacks on the floor
And the TV is on
And I always sleep with my guns
When you're gone

There's a blade by the bed
And a phone in my hand
A dog on the floor
And some cash on the nightstand
When I'm all alone the dreaming stops
And I just can't stand

What should I do I'm just a little baby
What if the lights go out and maybe
And then the wind just starts to moan
Outside the door he followed me home

Well goodnight moon
I want the sun
If it's not here soon
I might be done
No it won't be too soon 'til I say
Goodnight moon

There's a shark in the pool
And a witch in the tree
A crazy old neighbour and he's been watching me
And there's footsteps loud and strong coming down the hall
Something's under the bed
Now it's out in the hedge
There's a big black crow sitting on my window ledge
And I hear something scratching through the wall

Oh what should I do I'm just a little baby
What if the lights go out and maybe
I just hate to be all alone
Outside the door he followed me home
Now goodnight moon
I want the sun
If it's not here soon
I might be done
No it won't be too soon 'til I say
Goodnight moon

Well you're up so high
How can you save me
When the dark comes here
Tonight to take me up
To my front walk
And into bed where it kisses my face
And eats my head

Oh what should I do I'm just a little baby
What if the lights go out and maybe
And then the wind just starts to moan
Outside the door he followed me home
Now goodnight moon
I want the sun
If it's not here soon
I might be done
No it won't be too soon 'til I say
Goodnight moon
No it won't be too soon 'til I say
Goodnight moon

Nice song. I bought the album when it first came out because that was stuck in my head!

Currently stuck in my head

"Tribute (The best song in the world)" by Tenacious D (Comedian Jack Black)

This is the greatest and best song in the world... Tribute.

Long time ago me and my brother Kyle here,
we was hitchhikin' down a long and lonesome road.
All of a sudden, there shined a shiny demon... in the middle... of the road.
And he said:
[sung]
"Play the best song in the world, or I'll eat your soul." (soul)
[spoken]
Well me and Kyle, we looked at each other,
and we each said... "Okay."
[sung]
And we played the first thing that came to our heads,
Just so happened to be,
The Best Song in the World, it was The Best Song in the World.

Look into my eyes and it's easy to see
One and one make two, two and one make three,
It was destiny.
Once every hundred-thousand years or so,
When the sun doth shine and the moon doth glow
And the grass doth grow...

Needless to say, the beast was stunned.
Whip-crack went his schwumpy tail,
And the beast was done.
He asked us: "(snort) Be you angels?"
And we said, "Nay. We are but men."
Rock!
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh-ah-ah,
Ohhh, whoah, ah-whoah-oh!

This is not The Greatest Song in the World, no.
This is just a tribute.
Couldn't remember The Greatest Song in the World, no, no.
This is a tribute, oh, to The Greatest Song in the World,
All right! It was The Greatest Song in the World,
All right! It was the best m************' song the greatest song in the world.
[2-part skat]
[spoken]
And the peculiar thing is this my friends:
the song we sang on that fateful night it didn't actually sound
anything like this song.
[sung]
This is just a tribute! You gotta believe me!
And I wish you were there! Just a matter of opinion.
Ah, ****! Good God, God lovin',
So surprised to find you can't stop it.

Great tune
