this is the thread where we note the song running through our head at the moment of waking up

yesterday:
"it goes downstairs
it sits on chairs
rolls over your neighbour's dog"

today:
"i believe there'll be snow at christmas
i believe there'll be peace on earth"

this happens to me most mornings, sometimes w/o words

sometimes it's the other way round though: as freaky trigger readers will recall, i not so long ago woke with the words "sarcophagal jelly" on my lips

The first song I thought about was "Devil's Island" by Megadeth.

I shall have to start checking to see if songs are running in my head when I wake up.

Grrr, I hate this, it's never anything I want!

Yesterday - McFly - It's all about you.

Today - Is this the way to Amarillo. I HATE this fucking song and I can't dislodge it.

al jolson's "you made me love you"

i hadn't thought about the log song for years.

The Dragon Tails song from PBS Kids - a cartoon Rufus likes to watch in the morning. Often I wake up with annoying children's music in my head.

― Maria D. (Maria D.), Friday, 25 March 2005 15:09 (twenty-one years ago)

nothing doing, no song playing in me head this friday morning.

(but a bit later, after waking up quite-quite late anyway, i started humming and 'singing' "moon river", to the dismay of my daughter :)

absolutely inexplicably, it's "Burnin' For You" by the Blue Oyster Cult.

― Kim (Kim), Friday, 25 March 2005 15:10 (twenty-one years ago)

the inexplicable part is what makes this fun!

"Turnstyle Blues" by the most excellent Autolux. "Shake shake shake shake the clouds out..."

― Je4nne ƒury (Jeanne Fury), Friday, 25 March 2005 15:36 (twenty-one years ago)

"O Dana" Big Star, just the chorus.

― crly, Friday, 25 March 2005 15:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Yep, I get this most mornings, too, and sometimes it stays with me the whole morning. I woke up today thinking a little snatch of Count Basie over and over.

Annie "chewing gum"- because my gym has been playing that song for the last two days straight- jeeze there's no escape from the internet music . . .

I can state without a shadow of a doubt that tomorrow I will wake up singing My Sharona because I was dancing to it tonight and despite dancing to lots of other stuff after it, an hour after leaving the club I still can't shift it from my head.

katamari damacy

― teeny (teeny), Saturday, 26 March 2005 06:01 (twenty-one years ago)

is katamari damacy the new super mario brothers?

― sunburned and snowblind (kenan), Saturday, 26 March 2005 06:10 (twenty-one years ago)

that's a good question. I do believe you are correct; no video game since super mario brothers 2 has done it for me (with possible exception of super mario brothers 3 but maybe not even then) until katamari damacy. that's a long time to fucking wait. but now I have the ultimate, the pinnacle, and I despair in knowing that such happiness may never be surpassed.

The chorus of "I Predict a Riot" by the Kaiser Chiefs

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 26 March 2005 07:32 (twenty-one years ago)

tomorrow I will wake up singing My Sharona

Yes, 8.30 this morning I woke up with My Sharona in my head. I was probably singing it in my sleep.

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 26 March 2005 10:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Cause I'm dyin' to be a star
And make them laugh
Sound just like a record on
the phonograph
Those days are gone forever
Over a long time ago
Oh yeah

― 57 7th (calstars), Saturday, 26 March 2005 12:17 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't think I ever wake up with music in my head. At the moment, though, I can't get the Bubble Bobble music out of my mind.

― caitlin (caitlin), Saturday, 26 March 2005 12:27 (twenty-one years ago)

it was "be my twin" by brother beyond this morning, there is no saving me...

Yesterday I woke up from a dream where I was singing a dub version of The Beatles' 'She loves you' live on stage with The Communards. I couldn't really remember all the lyrics so I was mumbling a bit.

Yesterday, a song by the Arcade Fire whose lyrics I don't know and which stayed with me all day to the point where homicide was considered.

This morning, 'Gigi', namely

"Have I been standing up too close or back too far
When did your sparkle turn to fire
And your warmth become desire
Oh what miracle has made you the way you are?"

The chorus of "I Predict a Riot"

It's pretty catchy, actually.

"Island of Lost Souls" by Blondie

"Hey buccaneer,
can you help me get my truck in gear..."

― Orbit (Orbit), Wednesday, 30 March 2005 19:44 (twenty-one years ago)

The past two nights I've been waking up to weird exciting half-nightmares where I'm in Jack Bauer situations (relieved to not really be in danger, sad that I'm bored) and to sexual fantasies about my friend (who probably reads this board since I gave her the link, so I think all I'm going to say is HELLO CARRIE LIM, I AM HAVING SEXUAL FANTASIES ABOUT YOU AND YOU CAN"T DO SHIT ABOUT IT).

― LeCoq (LeCoq), Wednesday, 30 March 2005 19:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Horrifyingly, I woke up this morning with that Brian McFadden/Delta Goodrem monstrosity in my head. I don't like the way my brain works. I should be waking up with cheerfulness and pop and jangle in my head, and instead I wake up wanting to pull my brains out through my ears with the nearest available coathanger.
