Led Zep’s **Kashmir** , which is kind of the default “song that is running in my head.”

“Somewhere Beyond the Sea.” It’s been attached to my brain since I saw “Finding Nemo” weeks ago.

The really irritating thing is trying to remember what other movie had this song in the final scene or in the credits. I’m almost sure there’s at least one more.

Alternating: **Old Joe’s Place** and the title song from _Mighty Wind_. I won’t get them out of my head until I can find someone to learn & sing them with me. I love those songs!

There’s a puppy in the parlor  
And a skillet on the stove  
There’s a smelly old blanket  
That a Navajo wove

-and-

As I wander down the backroads of this land I love so much  
Every carpenter and cowboy, every blind man on a crutch

-and-

There’s a star on the horizon that’s burning like a flare  
It’s lighting up this mighty wind that’s blowing everywhere

Not so much in my head as playing on the stereo, but **This Year’s Love** by David Gray.

Two pages! SWEET!

For some ungodly reason, I’ve woken up with a song in my head from one of the Care Bears movies. Ahem:

_Forest of Feelings, Care-a-Lot, and Earth are the homes we claim  
Some ways they’re different, some ways not  
'Cause home is in your heart_

Ravel’s “Bolero.” They played it on the radio earlier today and it just keeps going 'round and 'round in my head - but that’s OK as I like the song (even though Ravel hated it).

Hmm.

“I’ve got trooooubles (whoa-oh)  
I’ve got wooooorries (whoa-oh)”

Currently at least. But when I first saw the OP it was Meat Loaf’s “You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth.”

The soundtrack to _Mighty Wind_ just recently went out of my head until you mentioned it, though…it’s competing with a pretty impressive cacaphony in my head.

Yep, title song to Might Wind just won out. “They’re just talkin’ bout this Mighty Wind that’s blowin’ everywhere! Oh, a Mighty Wind’s a-blowin’…”

**Istanbul, (Not Constantinople)**, as covered by They Might Be Giants.  
_Turkish delight on a moonlit night…  
Now every girl in Constantinople  
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople  
So if you have a date  
In Constantinople  
She’ll be waiting in Istanbul…_  
And then, every now and again that turns into **White Room** with no warning whatever.
