When I first saw this thread yesterday, I actually didn’t have a song in my head, which is pretty unusual for me. I almost always have something playing in my mind. This morning it’s _Mountains_ by Lonestar. I don’t like that song, but I heard it on the radio on the way to work. ---

_She’s So Lovely_ by Scouting for Girls. > [@](#): > > She’s flirty, > Turned thirty, > Ain’t that the age a girl gets really dirty…? I picked up a review copy of their album (out next month) the other day and love love love it. However its earworminess suggests that in a few days I will be sick sick sick of it. 🙂 ---

Only when I saw this thread title did it dawn on me that I have the theme song from the show “[What Would You Do?](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_would_you_do) " stuck in my head. What, na na na na na na na, would, na na na na na na, you, na na na na na na, you do…” Bizarre, since I probably haven’t seen it since it stopped airing in 1993… when I was 7… ---

Come As You Are - Nirvana. Not the whole song though, just the “and I swear that I don’t have a gun” section. ---

Unfortunately, thanks to your subject line, it’s “Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head.” Good God, I thought I had it wiped out years ago!!! ---

Nothing. NOTHING. And it’s staying that way! _plugs fingers into ears_ (Although by the end of tonight it’ll probably be Rooney’s “When Did Your Heart Go Missing” or Hayley Sales’s “What You Want”. _Thank_ you, Muzak at work.) ---

Some nut released “_HamsterDance_” on CD. And published it to Yahoo’s Launchcast streaming audio service… Yes, that Hamsterdance. Guess what just came across my headphones? I’ll be taking a drill to my ears soon… Eli ---

A cover of “Yer Blues” by a Japanese singer named Shiina Ringo. Although that may change soon. I work a campus computer lab right inside a dorm lobby wherein resides a piano. I have no idea who it is – I can’t see from in here – but there’s someone who comes by pretty much daily to play random things by the Beatles, and occasionally some of Lennon’s solo pieces. Yesterday it was “Oh My Love”; all last semester, I got to hear “A Day In The Life” about twice a week. I’m always tempted to go out and sing. 😃 ---
