I keep hearing snippets from Reggie Watt’s TED talk. Yeah, he starts with the spoken word, but he’s got a few beatbox tunes buried in there. Keep watching.
The old Michel Sardou song “Le Vole” (I Fly) sung by French singer Louane Emera in this scene from the excellent film La Famille Belier. We watched this last weekend, and the song has stayed with me. The film is about a high-school student who is the only one in her farm family not deaf, and she turns out to be a gifted singer. Her school’s choir director tries to get her into a special school in Paris.
I’ve managed to replace one TV theme song with another. Friday at work I was filling out paperwork for three agents who were splitting a case. The client’s name was Cleveland, and I had to put in the client’s name in multiple places on three separate pieces of paperwork. Take a guess what song I’ve had stuck in my head since then…
^ Me, too.
“Yours, Yours, Yours” from 1776, which I saw at a dinner theater last Friday.
*In the year 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survive
They may find
In the year 3535
Ain’t gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies
Everything you think, do, and say
Is in the pill you took today
In the year 4545
Ain’t gonna need your teeth, won’t need your eyes
You won’t find a thing to chew
Nobody’s gonna look at you
In the year 5555
Your arms are hanging limp at your sides
Your legs got nothing to do
Some machine is doing that for you
In the year 6565
Ain’t gonna need no husband, won’t need no wife
You’ll pick your son, pick your daughter too
From the bottom of a long glass tube’ Whoooa
In the year 7510
If God’s a-comin’ he ought to make it by then
Maybe he’ll look around himself and say
Guess it’s time for the Judgement day
In the year 8510
God is gonna shake his mighty head then
He’ll either say I’m pleased where man has been
Or tear it down and start again
In the year 9595
I’m kinda wondering if man is gonna be alive
He’s taken everything this old earth can give
And he ain’t put back nothing
Now it’s been 10, 000 years
Man has cried a billion tears
For what he never knew
Now man’s reign is through
But through eternal night
The twinkling of starlight
So very far away
Maybe it’s only yesterday
In the year 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survive
They may thrive
In the year 3535
Ain’t gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies
Everything you think, do or say
Is in the pill you took today…(fading…)

I’ve long known these lyrics ain’t Shakespeare, but I’d never realized how truly bad they are until reading the text.
mmm
Yeah no wonder it was a One Hit Wonder, but it’s a catchy tune.
Sedona. At least it doesn’t bug me too much. Been in my head for a week.
For a few days now…
*Goodbye to Rosie the queen of Corona
See you, me and Julio down by the school yard
See you, me and Julio down by the school yard
See you, me and Julio down by the school yard

I usually have a song going on inside the ol’ cranium, but for some reason–after reading all about Ta-Nihisi Coates and his new book–I keep saying, aloud and in my head, “Ta Nihisi Coates.”
Her name is Lola, Lola Falana.
She never has been to Havana.
(You get the picture)
I just skipped over a thread called Has anyone on here been to Spain?, moved to the next forum and see this thread.
No, I’ve never been to Spain but I kinda like the music.

Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darlin - the theme song to the movie High Noon
just the “Until I shoot Frank Miller dead” line at the end. I can never remember the rest.
In searching for that clip I found so many versions without that line. Little is more maddening than an earworm when the lyric that is stuck in your head isn’t in the version of the song you find. I knew I wasn’t mis-remembering it.
Mrs. Brown, You’ve Got a Lovely Daughter.
(I’m actually kind of enjoying this one.)
