Satellite - Dave Matthews Band Although the Blue Danube Waltz is now competing with it thanks to **Alessan**. I read all the other titles people were saying and none of them started going through my head, but when I heard that one, bam. Enjoy, Steven ---

\*Virus \*by Sarah Fimm and _Rockin’ in the Free World_ by K’s Choice and Indigo Girls have been taking turns for the past few days. I love both more than should be legal. ---

[QUOTE=Eleanor of Aquitaine] Alison Krauss’s “The Scarlet Tide”, from the _Cold Mountain_ soundtrack. [/QUOTE] I love that song. But right now it’s: “Consequence” by **Assemblage 23**. ---

What an odd question, at what a propitious time. “Moody’s Mood for Love”, originally by King Pleasure, but rendered in my head by Elliot Yamin of AI. I have a bellyful of chicken and cheep Scotch, facing the prospect of 10 days off in a row with pay. This may well have something to do with it, but damned if I know what. ---

Gentle Giant, [_A Cry For Everyone_](http://www.blazemonger.com/GG/albums/octopus.html#A%20CRY%20FOR%20EVERYONE) (off “Octopus”). That’s one of the CDs Mr. Legend has in the car right now, and the song that was playing when I got home. It will be running through my head all night, and it’ll be the first thing I think of in the morning. This has been going on for weeks now - I’ve really got to start loading the CD changer myself. ---

[QUOTE=BayleDomon] OK GO’s _Here It Goes Again_. It’s…too…peppy! I shoulda known, shoulda known, shoulda known again… [/QUOTE] Well, it was _Eye of the Tiger_, but now it’s the bastard lovechild of the aforementioned song and _Here It Goes Again_. NOT COOL. ---

[QUOTE=Alessan] Seriously? _Blue Danube_, Strauss. But just one 15-second snip from the middle. I was listening to some classical music on my way home from work (broadening my horizons and so forth), and it’s been lodged in my head ever since. Ah well. There’s worse music that could get stuck there. [/QUOTE] Thank you **Alessan**! As I mentioned in a previous “earworm” thread a few centuries ago, _The Blue Danube_ is what I purposely used to fixate on in order to remove something less desirable from my mind. And now that you’ve helped remind me of that I’ve finally gotten _Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow_ out of my head. ---
