Ever have a song kinda out of the blue on the radio, or from even the farthest reaches of your mind come and haunt you for days on end? You know- one of them songs you just start feeling like singing for no apparent reason?

Here's one thats been on my mind for about a week now.....

My Beautiful Reward- Bruce Springsteen

Well I sought gold and diamond rings
My own drug to ease the pain that living brings
Walked from the mountain to the valley floor
Searching for my beautiful reward
Searching for my beautiful reward

From a house on a hill a sacred light shines
I walk through these rooms but none of them are mine
Down empty hallways I went from door to door
Searching for my beautiful reward
Searching for my beautiful reward

Well your hair shone in the sun
I was so high I was the lucky one
Then I came crashing down like a drunk on a barroom floor
Searching for my beautiful reward
Searching for my beautiful reward

Tonight I can feel the cold wind at my back
I'm flyin' high over gray fields my feathers long and black
Down along the river's silent edge I soar
Searching for my beautiful reward
Searching for my beautiful reward

Alright, here's a serious one.

I mentioned this before here on the forum but I'd heard this song for years and never really listened to it.  Then one day I was walking in the cemetary where my Dad is buried and it came on the ipod.  For the first time I actually paid attention to the lyrics and it really made me feel good.

Now I find myself hearing it in my head every so often...

I'll Be There
The Escape Club

over Mountains
over Trees
over Oceans
over Seas
across the desert
I'll be there

in a whisper on the wind
on the smile of a new friend
just think of me
And I'll be there

Don't be afraid, oh my love
I'll be watching you from above
And I'd give all the world tonight,
to be with you
Because I'm on your side,
And I still care
I may have died,
but I've gone nowhere

Just think of me,
And I'll be there

On the edge of a waking dream
over Rivers
over Streams
through Wind and Rain
I'll be there

Across the wide and open sky
thousands of miles I'd fly
to be with you
I'll be there

Don't be afraid, oh my love
I'll be watching you from above
And I'd give all the world tonight,
to be with you
Because I'm on your side,
And I still care
I may have died,
but I've gone nowhere

Just think of me,
And I'll be there

In the breath of a wind that sighs
oh, there's no need to cry

Just think of me,
And I'll be there

Sometimes I wake up with songs in my head and I have no idea where they came from. Then I sing the same part of them over and over in my head until I hear something on the radio. The strangest ones tend to be the showtunes.

The song that sticks in my head is from an old Fritos commercial.  I don't remember all the words....just this part that keeps replaying over and over and over in my head.

i yiiii, yiiii, yaaaaaaaaah,
I'm am the Frito bandito.
Give me Frito corn chips and I'll be your friend,
The Frito bandito you must not offend.

no.gifhmm

Oh man, I'm terrible with getting commercial jingles stuck in my head.

Gimme a break
Gimme a break
Break me off a piece of that Kit Kat Bar!


I don't wanna grow up, I'm a Toys 'R Us kid
There's a million toys at Toys 'R Us that I can play with!
From trucks to trains to video games, it's the greatest toy store there is!
I don't wanna grow up, cuz baby if I did, I wouldn't be a Toys 'R Us kid!

Oh, that makes me think of Music of the Night! I haven't heard that song for ages.

We did Fiorello in high school, and me and a friend used to sing Little Tin Box all the time. That's probably the soundtrack song that gets stuck in my head the most. "A little tin box, a little tin box, that little tin key unlocks. There's nothing unorthodox about a little tin box!"

Okay, I'll stop trying to get songs stuck in people's heads for a second and give a serious answer.

I get ear worms a lot. I usually have one song or another stuck in my head. But one song that really resonates with me is "A Little Bit More" by Sammy Hagar. I don't have a personal situation that it applies to, but the way he sings it, I can feel it. I kind of get the same way with Sting's "I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying"

At any rate, "A Little Bit More":

I felt you pull away
A little bit more tonight
A little bit more
I recognize that face that you wore tonight
A little bit more

And I know I shouldnt be surprised
And I know I should believe my eyes
But I dont wanna see it

Im losing you
A little bit more tonight
A little bit more
And I dont wanna see
Im losing you
A little bit more tonight
A little bit more

More space between the lines
A little bit more tonight
Just a little bit more
Its like falling down
Three flights of love tonight
Or more

And I know I shouldnt be surprised
Yes and I know I should believe my eyes
But I dont wanna see it

Im losing you
A little bit more tonight
A little bit more
And I dont wanna see
Im losing you
A little bit more tonight
A little bit more

So dont think about it
Go on and figure out it
No place to lay the blame down
Everyones a saint
Her bodys in the bedroom
But her heads gone out the door

Yea .. and I know I shouldnt be surprised
Yes and I know I should believe my eyes
But I dont wanna see it
Im losing you
A little bit more tonight
A little bit more

Come on babe, why don't we paint the town
And all that jazz
I'm gonna rouge my knees and roll my stockings down
And all that jazz
Start the car, I know a whoopie spot
Where the gin is cold but the piano's hot
It's just a noisy hall, where there's a nightly brawl
And all that jaaaazzzzz.

Loco Gringos:
Loco gringos like a party with five bails of, hay!
Jumpin' in the dumpster with pepe, ole!
Loco gringos like a party
And they like their women firm
And when they drink tequila
They fight for the worm

Fruit fly showed me
The beginning of life
Cuttin' up limes
With a dull butter knife

Loco gringos like a party
With five bails of, hay!
Jumpin' in the dumpster with pepe, ole!
Loco gringos like a party
And they like their women firm
And when they drink tequila
They fight for the worm
Go!

The cadillac hearse, tequila bottle fins
At gringo manor, the party really never ends
Loco gringos like a party
With five bails of, hay!
Jumpin' in the dumpster with pepe, ole!
Loco gringos like a party
And they like their women firm
And when they drink tequila
They fight for the worm

(spoken softly) that's the sound of us fighting for the worm
(spoken softly) that's the worm there
(spoken softly) hear the worm
(spoken softly) and see the worm
(spoken softly) hey, that's crazy

Alright!

A neon bus painted like the mexican flag
Hey there pablo, whatcha got in the bag?
Corndogs!

Loco gringos like a party
With five bails of, hay!
Jumpin' in the dumpster with pepe, ole!
Loco gringos like a party
And they like their women firm
And when they drink tequila
They fight for the worm

Loco gringos like a party
Ole!

and...
Martini Time:
Hey, buddy do you got the time?
No I don't got a watch can you spare a dime,
But I got two olives and a couple of limes,
Guessin' that means it's martini time.

Everytime I watch My Fair Lady, this song is stuck in my head for DAYS...and yes, I sing it, and badly, too. laughing.gif

(Eliza) Bed! Bed! I couldn't go to bed!
My head's too light to try to set it down! Sleep! Sleep!
I couldn't sleep tonight.
Not for all the jewels in the crown!
I could have danced all night!
I could have danced all night!
And still have begged for more.
I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things I've never done before.
I'll never know What made it so exciting;
Why all at once My heart took flight. I only know when he
Began to dance with me I could have danced,
danced, danced all night!

(Servant 1) It's after three now.

(Servant 2) Don't you agree now,
She ought to be in bed.

(Eliza) I could have danced all night!
I could have danced all night!
And still have begged for more.
I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things I've never done before.
I'll never know What made it so exciting.
Why all at once my heart took flight.
I only know when he
Began to dance with me.
I could have danced, danced danced all night!

(Mrs. Pearce) I understand, dear.
It's all been grand, dear.
But now it's time to sleep.

(Eliza) I could have danced all night,
I could have danced all night.
And still have begged for more.
I could have spread my wings,
And done a thousand things I've never done before.
I'll never know What made it so exciting.
Why all at once my heart took flight. I only know when he
Began to dance with me I could have danced, danced,
danced All night!
