U2, “Angel of Harlem” - no idea why. ---

Well, since I left the theater where I saw ‘Inception’, about two hours ago, I have had the trailer version of the score going through my head. Excellent scoring, btw. ---

“Untouched” by the Veronicas, which isn’t surprising because it’s the song I’m actually listening to now. ---

Radio Clothahump plays music pretty much all the time when I’m awake and sometimes even in my dreams. Right now, I’m listening to “Goodbye, Columbus” by the Association. I have no idea what triggered it, but about 15 minutes ago, I was listening to The Monkees singing “I’m A Believer”. I love the radio station in my head. ---

The last few days, my brain has been a battlefield fought over by the Canadian and British wormed forces: “O Canada” (inspired no doubt by seeing the title of the Canadian feud in The Game Room forum) and Ringo’s “No No Song” (inspired by God knows what). ---

**Pavement** - _Transport Is Arranged_ specifically the 3rd verse: “I swung my fiery sword, I vent my spleen at the lord He is abstract and bored – too much milk and honey Well I’ll waltz through the wilderness with nothing But a compass and a canteen Settin the scenes Easy walkin’ border blockin’ transport is arranged” ---

Good question. I’m hooked rather firmly this morning. Is is the Sonatina in G Major by Clementi or is “A Groovy Kind of Love” by Carol Bayer Sager? It’s definitely The Mindbenders singing. Arrrgh. . . ---

I saw the Nissan Rogue commercial this morning and have been singing it ever since…it was annoying me so much I had to google it. Don’t hate me…[My style is di bom digi bom di deng di deng digigi](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBTSG_Tryhc) ---

“Pierre” from the '70s children’s play “Really Rosie” [Here it is, with the same cartoon we all saw, but with the Dresden Dolls singing.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWnuGcI8QwU) “Really Rosie” is the play that had “Chicken Soup with Rice” in it. ---

Some kind of hypnotic electro beat or something with the singer speaking/singing with a flat tone. I can’t resist watching the video multiple times a day too. ---

For the last day and a half it’s now been [“Cry”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcGntdbDB5Q) by Faith Hill. At least it’s a good song, but I hope it doesn’t stay in there much longer. It’s rapidly approaching the song that was stuck in my head the longest period of time ever, a full three or four days. You don’t even want to know what song that one was. [I’m going to show you anyway.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qp7G18nQxvU) ETA: The actual singing doesn’t start until about one minute into the video. ---

I’ve been working on a piece about _Saturday Night Fever_, so watched it again over the weekend. Collateral damage: the pernicious earworm “Disco Inferno.” Burn, baby, burn, indeed.
