A truly annoying phenomenon: stuck music squared

I get this occasionally, where I get not one, but two songs stuck in my head simultaneously. With the lyrics and/or melody from one morphing into the other and back again, with never enough from either to finish a refrain, much less a song.

Just now, I had “Head over heels” by the Go-gos(?) and some song from a seventies stadium rock band and the only line I could remember from it was “Seems to me”.

Over and over and over…

AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!

That line “Seems to me” was from a James Gang song, wasn’t it? It…seems to me ( :wink: ) that I heard it just the other day on the radio.

Yep, with Smokin’ Joe Walsh on vocals.

Well, I finally found the song - the line “Seems to me…” is from Walk Away - on a Joe Walsh album called “You Can’t Argue With A Sick Mind”, not James Gang.

Now it’s stuck in my head, but if ya gotta have a song stuck, it might as well be a good one.

Dang, that was on a solo album? I always thought it was James Gang material. Oh, well, at least I knew the lead singer off the top of my head.

Whenever I have a song stuck in my head and I forget the lyrics, I always segue into “Doo, doo, doo. Looking out my back door”
Don’t ask me why.

On the day John Lee Hooker died, a local college station was playing some tribute music, but the DJ accidentally put on two records simultaneously and left to shoot a game of pool or something.

I’m a big 'ol fan, but sometimes twice as much of a good thing is pretty lousy.

On another note, I occasionally find myself singing some Primus song and morphing into another, and sometimes even morphing into some Metallica song. Lots of similarities in funky time signatures, keys, and breaks.

And it’s a wonder that Metallica didn’t sign up Les Claypool when he auditioned to replace Cliff Burton, huh?
