What song lyrics are stuck in your head?

[step8]

For me, it's...

You get down, real low down
You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
Well who hasn't been there before?
I come round, around the hard way
Bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread
And serve you french toast again

Silva

[toothache]

Don't laugh at me.... but Eddie Rabbit.

Well I love a rainy night
I love a rainy night
I love to hear the thunder
Watch the lightning
When it lights up the sky
You know it makes me feel good.



To me this sticks in my head because it is very true to the way I feel. I sleep better when it's raining outside. I guess there's more comfort in the shelter. It's still a great song.

"You can leave your hat on."

Originally by Randy Newman I think, but when you here Joe sing this phrase 37 times in the song... how could you get it out of your head???

[amy]

You think I give a damm about a Grammy?
Half of you critics can't even stomach me, let alone stand me.
"But Slim what if u win wouldn't it be weird?"
Why? So you guys can just lie to get me here?
So you can sit me here next to Britney Spears.
[bleep], Christina Aguilera better switch me chairs

That song makes me laugh every time I hear it.

Highly replaceable. It's the ones I heard a minute ago - and they hang around for a while. Then another bunch move in, when and if I hear them, assuming they're not mumbled, slurred, mispronounced, or overpowered by a klanky, dissonant track.

[pianoman]

I can't exactly say the song lyrics are stuck in my head, because I never memorized the song - that would be the educational thing to do.

I have to post the entire thing, because there isn't one portion that sticks out in particular - the whole thing is great.

My dad ask me on may 6 2003 to write him a song ,and I did but he died may 7 2003.I call it to be like you,and the words will never leave my mind.


I remember when I was young
I heard my daddy yelling get up son ,its time to go
your mommy got your lunch packed,grab your shirt and shoes
And dont forget your fishing pole


Well we would load up the car,and head for the beach
I swear I would be half asleep
I would hear him say ,we got to get there soon
Or there will be no fishing room
And as I would lay there stairing at the starry skys I knew
Dad I want to be like you,and I think you knew,I was going to be like you


But as the times went on
It got harder and harder for us just to get along
I would say yes and you would say no
and then separate ways we would go


Then you would get all pissed off at what I said
You know your face turned red,you know
I did not care what I said to you
Because ther was nothing,you could do
And as I walked away I would yell back hey
Dad I'm going to be like you


Then I would remember stairingout at those starry skys
some how I knew every thing was going to be all right
And there would be no turning back,even after our eyes go black
Only love will remain,it will remain


I under stand now when you would say
That every good dog has to have a bad day
For you tault me the differance,between right and wrong
You tault me how to walk tall and be strong


So I guess what I am trying to say is
Thank you in my own way,you see
As you watch me from there
I have a handel on thing down here
because all those times I think you knew
dad I am trying to be like you ,and I think you knew
I am going to be like you

[musicfreak91]

i have hawthorne heights song "ohio is for lovers" in my head all day everyday, not counting my own songs....

[Reconsiderate]

I heard this line only once a few months ago on the radio. The part in brackets is my paraphrase.



[You don't need to keep speaking],
you're already a voice in my head.



I don't know whose lyrics these are, but they hit me pretty hard and have stuck with me ever since.

[Amadeus3505]

I first started paying attentin to lyrics more closely when I first heard Melissa Etheridge sing

"...And when I woke
I tasted the sweat
Of desire on my mouth

i thought that was a realy good line.

Right now, all the lyrics kinda get my attention

By the way, to the guy who wrote the song for his dad, I really liked it!!!

streetlight it shines through the shades / casting lines on the floor / and lines on his face / he reflects on the day...

I also like Ben Folds lyrics. I enjoy John Mayer lyrics too.

You can recognize their lyrics even if you don't know the song, because they have a very personal way of expressing themselves.
