Do you have a song stuck in your head?

What song?

It's not sane... it's not saaaahhyneee....

I have had David Bowie's Rebel Rebel stuck in my head for the past month or so.

United Future Organization featuring DeeDee Bridgewater:

I saw a flying saucer
Zooming across the sky
Well I can't say anything about it
They'll all just say it's a lie

Now, i know a plane when i see one
And i know an automobile
But this was a flying saucer
Believe me, it was for real

I don't know just where it came from
Could have been Venus or Mars
But there is one thing that i'm sure of
It's not on a street with the cars

I saw a flying saucer
Zooming across the sky
Well I can't say anything about it
They'll all just say it's a lie

IMNSHO DeeDee is as fantabulous an improviser as Betty Carter or Sarah Vaughan.

Dammit, now I've got the lyrics to Edgar Winter's Frankenstein in my head.

Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue.

No, I'm serious, I'm not trying to outsnob anyone. In fact, it's driving me nuts.

Copland, various selections from Appalachian Spring and Rodeo.

In Response to gtyrrell (#35591):

Well, it could be worse. It could be Copland's Lincoln Portrait.

Snippets of the movie soundtrack for RHPS. And of course, I get the best verses stuck in my head at work, when I can't even sing them.

I do like Blind Melon, though.

The theme song for Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends [wikipedia.org].

Who knows? [imdb.com]

Who knows?

Apparently, Dr. Internet knows.

Whatever's playing in those Volkswagen Rabbit commercials where the cars are playing in the park and all...

According to the Interwebs, it's "The Birds And the Bees" by Patrick and Eugene

I hate Volkswagen

Oh, just rub it in that I've got the SWA theme running through my head.

You are now free to move about the forums.

I like Copland, so it's not really a problem; the only Copland I don't like is this one set of recordings of Jessye Norman trying to do traditionals like "I Got Me A Cat" It's pretty horrific.

In Response to gtyrrell (#35608):

I'm not familiar with the Norman recording. Actually, Lincoln Portrait is the only Copland piece I really dislike. Peter Schickele's Bach Portrait is a great send-up. And of course, P.D.Q. Bach's Fanfare for the Common Cold should be played every time there are fireworks.

In Response to mkinyon (#35609):

You really believe that Diablo wrote MG, too, don't you?

I much prefer Keith, Greg, and Carl's rendition of Pictures at an Exhibition to most of the other orchestrations I've heard.

I also believe that the outcomes of professional wrestling matches are not predetermined.

But PaaE is their tribute to Mussorgsky; their Copland versions are on Works (vol 1) and Trilogy.

Why yes, I did spend a bit too much time in the "E" section in my college-radio days, why do you ask?

I'm always a little sadder, madder, that they never did a version of Richard Roger's Victory at Sea.

ELP makes baby Mozart cry.

Scratch that, all babies.

Funny you should mention, i was never on E while actually in the DJ booth during my college-radio days. But i confess i was often very high on marijuana, and once i was coming down slowly from a large dose of LSD. I ingested something like a thousand micrograms shortly after sunrise, and fifteen or sixteen hours later i had regained sufficient functionality to correctly handle the mixing board, turntables, CD players, tape decks and carts, etc, when i went on the air at 11PM.

Although my memory is fading, i seem to have a fairly strong impression much of that particular three-hour show was devoted to System 7.3: Fire + Water, the Orb's Orbvs Terrarvm, songs by The Starseeds on the Two A.D. ambient dub compilation from Waveform records, and Toward the Unknown Region by Torch Song featuring William Orbit. But eleven and a half years later i must admit i don't recall things perfectly.

Vut is dis 'beehbie"? Mohtzhart niver sayd dis 'beehbie'!

In Response to deerboy (#35621):

See, Brock agrees.

What song?

The theme from The Love Boat.

Please kill me now.
