I have Gary Jules’s song “Mad World” in my head. It runs through the verse and then it gets to the chorus at which point it becomes Garbage’s “Stupid Girl.”
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it’s a very very
Stupid girl
This is utterly maddening!
Has it happened to you?
I don’t remember the name of the first song, but it’s from the soundtrack to West Side Story, and all last summer I was humming…
“[six bars of music I don’t know what it is]”
“Do you want to build a snowman?”
Happens quite often to me. Weirdest one recently was Love Me Tender going into Freude Schöner Götterfunken. Harmonised nicely, though.
Whenever I get “Demons” by Imagine Dragons stuck in my head and I get to the “this is my kingdom come” line, I inevitably segue it into “Like a Prayer” by Madonna. Can’t complain though, since I like both songs.
Every so often, I think about the theme from the old Maxwell House Coffee commercials, but then I start to slide into the theme from The Magnificent Seven.
It happens to me from time to time, although I can’t remember any specific examples.
It took me awhile to keep straight the Grateful Dead’s “Ripple” and “Any Dream Will Do” from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
No, but the Tears For Fears original just randomly shuffled on my computer’s 2500 song library. No joke.
