Beethoven’s 3rd Symphony.

I bought a boxed CD set of all 9 symphonies awhile ago and have been listening to the disc with that and the Overture to Fidelio the last few days while driving to work. It makes me happy that the tune that gets stuck in my head is so often Beethoven lately–Much nicer than the commercial jingles that usually get stuck in there for-frigging-ever.

_Tarzan Boy_, **Baltimora**.

I also keep picturing a bottle of mouthwash swinging from vine to vine. Damned Listerine, ruined that song for me forever.

I’m sure I’ve seen that performance, but don’t really remember it except from the dream. Did it really have ‘In the Mood’ or is that part original? It does work pretty well. (I even have another person who agrees.)

And **Nathan S** , I’m sorry to cause you any distress.

This doesn’t have anything to do with your post. I just wanted to say, as a diehard C&H fan, that I really like your username!

OK, sorry for the thread hijack everyone, you may now carry on with your regularly scheduled discussion …

Amethyst Remembrance, from the anime Yami no Matsuei. The lyrics are an Emily Dickinson poem. I have this in my head because I was thinking about the anime. 🙂 It’s a nice song.

When I worked at Wal-Mart I constantly had the music from the first stage in Super Mario Bros. 3 in my head, and always sang it as I bagged customers’ items. “Doo-da-doo, da-doo, da-doo… doo da-doo doo da doooo…” Once this started, it lasted THE WHOLE TIME I worked there, and that was a few months long. I thought there was something wrong with me.

Its not a song, but a piece of music, its the start of the Ride of the Rohirrim, track seven on the ROTK soundtrack.

Until I read **that** , I had some horribly annoying song called Mr. Wendall by Arrested Development in my head. The actual lyrics are decent, and the overall message of the song is rather good, but there is this annoying (and repetitive) wailing bit that … argh.

At any rate **now** it looks as if I’ll be cursing the late Shari Lewis’ name. And her little lamb too.

After reading the BBQ Pit about the woman attempting to spend a million dollar bill at WalMart, it’s “If I Had a Million Dollars” by the Barenaked Ladies.
