“Vital Signs” by Rush. I was reading the “Best Album closer” thread, and this song, which sums up Rush’s _Moving Pictures_, is whirling around now. ---

I couldn’t get _Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring_ by **JS Bach** out of my head, this afternoon. Currently, as of a couple of hours ago, it’s, _Walkin’ My Baby Back Home_ as sung by **Nat King Cole**. ---

“Never Been To Me” by Charlene. (See the “worst songs ever recorded” thread as to why.) It may require surgery to get this out of my head. Sigh. ---

I was just reading the thread on favorite PBS shows, and now I have the theme song to “Boomerang” stuck in my head. _A boomerang, a boomerang What does it do? What does it do? It comes back to you…_ 'Course, knowing these boards, someone’s heard of the show before… FISH ---

“Soft as the Breeze”, by Leonard Cohen. Thing is, I edit songs in my head, so I’m currently hearing it sung by Tom Waits. It’s much better than the Lemmy/Wendy O. version of “I Got You Babe”, or Pavorotti’s “Satisfaction”, but not quite as good as Shane MacGowan’s “In the Arms of the Angels”. The less said about any Gilbert and Sullivan done by Bob Dylan, the better. Strangely enough, the Cowboy Junkies version of “Powderfinger” and the Bauhaus version of “Ziggy Stardust” actually exist and need no further embellishment. ---

I’m almost sure there’s at least one more. \*\* The original, French version, “La Mer,” is in the credits of **French Kiss**. Kevin Kline sings it. Very cool. And now it’s stuck in my head, so this isn’t even really a hijack. Whee!! ---
