I’ve has “The Red” by **Chevelle** stuck in my head for a couple of months now.

Also like “Fine Again” by **Seether**

That’s ‘Soak Up The Sun’. 🙂

I have too many favorite songs. . .

The Walkmen - We’ve Been Had  
Graham Colton - Jessica  
Queens of the Stone Age - If Only  
Zwan - Honestly  
Tea Party - Walking Wounded  
OK Go - Get Over It  
Norah Jones - Come Away With Me  
Ben Folds - The Luckiest

ARGH! I could go on for days. I’ll shut up now, though. 😉

And some Hindi songs I doubt any of you might know or like 😃

I don’t care much for rap, if fact I hate it but [this](http://mediapickle.com/slimsanta.htm) has been on my internal playlist since I heard it the first time the other day.

I really like the song ‘All the things she said’.  
Is there anything wrong with that?

Yup. That’s been my song of the week for oh, about a month now. in fact, I am listening to it right this minute.  
I don’t think it’s possible for Coldplay to record a non-addictive song.

Ditto on John Mayer. I had to force myself to remove “Room for Squares” from my CD player recently because it was driving my husband nuts.  
Now Coldplay is driving him nuts. 😃

[“All the Relatives,”](http://www.christinekane.com/lyricsrainmud.htm#relatives) by Christine Kane, a folksinger from Asheville, NC. I heard her play this song at a music festival workshop and I had to run right over and buy the CD. I’ve played it for several of my female friends, and they all agree it’s a great anthem for us girls who mystify the relatives by not signing up for the status quo.

Let’s see, what’s playing on Winamp Radio right now?

Yup - my current fave. 🙂

My favorite songs tend to change rapidly from day to day. Very occasionally, one will stick in my head for a while. There isn’t one stuck there right now, however. I guess the most recent fave would have been _Tonight is the Night I Fell Asleep at the Wheel_ by BNL. That damned song got stuck in my head and I sang it for a good, solid month.

“Estimated Prophet”- The Grateful Dead  
This song is always floating around somewhere in my head, so it shouldn’t really count, but the version from 5/8/77 is amazing.

The song that I don’t hear very often that has been in my head all week is “Video killed the radio star” by uh…The Buggles? I guess. The worst part is, I’ve had the cover version stuck in my head, for some reason I think it might have the Pogues, but I have no clue…Ah well, it rocks anyway…
