Do you ever get a tune in your head & can't get rid of it until you hear it?
Here's a thread for just thst kind of thing. I'll get the ball rolling.
I've had this running around in my head since last night.

If you're gonna get an ear worm, that's a great one.
Only really listened to CCR in the last year or so since subscribing to Spotify.
That one is a TUUUUUUNE.
CCR is the best road trip sound track in my opinion.
Appropriately, I often wondered if Jeff Lynn was influenced by them in some small way.

This has been a regular ear worm for me for many years. It's strange, but I find myself singing it in my head sometimes when I probably haven't heard it for months.
Today's ear worm

Greta van fleet remind me of Wolfmother, and some say Led Zep, but I think thats a stretch.
An oldie, not sure why this is in my head today...

This is one I find particularly difficult to rid my brain of.

Here's an odd one that I haven't pursued. When riding in the rain, often tedious at best, I noticed that when a track in my playlist mentions rain, storms or other inclement weather, it actually lifts my mood and aids concentration :icon_scratch: I've been tempted to compile a playlist with just those tracks that I can switch to, to see if it is the case or it's just the irony of the situation that made me smile :m
Doors - Riders of the Storm
CCR - Have You Ever Seen the Rain
Carpenters - Rainy Days & Mondays
Richard Hawley - There's a Storm Coming
Eric Clapton - Let it Rain
Bruno Mars - It Will Rain
James Taylor - Fire and Rain
Pitbull - Rain Over Me
Willie Nelson - Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain
Bob Dylan - A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall
Prince - Purple Rain
Guns N' Roses - November Rain
Silencers - Scottish Rain
Lady Gaga - Rain On Me
There's lots once you start thinking about it. If you need to test this, you probably won't have to wait long :mut
or, ass an alternative
Sunshine of your Love - Cream
Walking on sunshine - Katrina & the waves
When the sun goes down - Arctic Monkeys
My God is the sun - Queens of the Stoneage
Here comes the sun - Beetles
Island in the sun - Weezer
Set the controls for the heart of the sun - Pink Floyd
Black hole sun - Soundgarden
Holiday in the sun - Sex Pistols
I guess the difference Sin, is you come from the North - I come from the south :*
There aren't many songs about it being overcast, damp and 9 deg C, so it is going to be one or the other I guess.

They've given us a lot of great road tunes :icon_salut:
RIP Dusty. Jus found out.....
Have seen them live so many times over the years, most recently at Rambling Man 2017. Very Very Sad to hear. Dammit....
They certainly have.
I once heard Eric Clapton say he'd originally dismissed them as just another Hick band, but later realised that they knew their blues base and how to write a catchy hook.
Sadly, no video on this one

A special entry to the Earworm roll of fame.
RIP Charlie Watts.

https://youtu.be/rhAUTOBBfm8
So sad about Taylor, I had tickets to see them for the 4th time in London in July the day after Guns n roses at tottenham, It was going to be a LOUD weekend!!
One of my fav's

When musicians your favourite bands start dying you know you are getting old...
Thinking back, it appears that singers have a tendancy to end it on their terms, Kurt Cobain, Michael Hutchence (although that one's debatable), Chris Cornell, Nick Drake, Keith Flint, Chester Bennington while drummers go naturally (or at least by accident with some chemical help for a few), Charley Watts, Taylor Hawkins, Keith Moon, Ginger Baker, John Bonham, Neil Peart, Buddy Rich.
Maybe I'm generalising here a little, and I could probably name just as many singers who died by accident due to chemical influences, Jimi Hendrix & Janis Joplin spring to mind.
It certainly seems that to be a successful musician takes its toll...
It is certainly not healthy is it? Perhaps they should have just picked a less risky hobby, like maybe motorbikes?
:ImaPoser
Chaps,
Some really great tunes in that lot.
I especially enjoyed Alien Ant Farm and the young Elvis Costello who I didn't know was then called Weezer..!
And you've gotta mention the eye 'wateringly enticing' worm ...! (what was Rod thinking?)
couldn't work out how to paste a youtube song here but if you can be bothered the guitar if and off beat drumming and his haunting voice always goes round and around and around for me.

Earworm :icon_rolleyes: A post christmas ride (yes we can in the southern hemisphere) when I was 18, heard the song in shop/servo in Cabramurra (a Snowy Hydro Scheme village). Couldn't clear it for hours :icon_rolleyes:
Smokey Robinson "Tears of a Clown"
Had this in my head for a while, so much so I had to buy the CD as I couldn't find my vinyl copy.
https://youtu.be/auLBLk4ibAk
Heard Robbie Bachman (the drummer) has died.
RIP
