Speaking of Elvis:

On my way to Vegas; Red Elvis
Opportunity; Elvis Costello


- Rainy days and Mondays; the Carpenters
- These boots are made for walkin'; Nancy Sinatra
- Year of the cat; Al Stewart
- Happy; that tune from Despicable Me2
- Gran Torino; Jamie Cullum
- Fly me to the moon; anybody and everybody who performed it.
- Louie Louie, or Jolly Green Giant; the Kingsmen
- Eat Steak; Rev Horton Heat
- Walking on the moon; the Police...

And anything muzak that resembles any tune I'm familiar with. Frickin' hate when a Judas Preist muzak tune gets stuck in my head. lol

I currently have Roberta Flacks' "Killing Me Softly" stuck in my head.

How to Save a Life by The Fray. I heard it in a store today and it's stuck in my head now. They used this song in an episode of Scrubs to good effect.

What really sticks in your head are those simple 3-4 note clock chime-esque tunes, like from advertising or radio station identification; hit play if you're up for another one of those:

For some reason I have the old Peter Gunn theme (Henry Mancini's first big hit) stuck in my head tonight. Go ahead and click, I dare ya. :nana: I think they used a few seconds of this in The Blues Brothers.

Ever since watching Deadpool, all to often Angel Of The Morning by Juice Newton gets stuck in my head. Especially in the beginning the way she sings the words heart and start. awesome voice.

This oldie got stuck in my head yesterday for some reason. Think about the technology mentioned in this song - a telegram - and 15 cents per word for the message. We have it so much better now!

John Maus, 2017. Is he from another country? Another planet? Is it a joke? But later on you'll find yourself chanting "Go for the touch-down.."
