What song would you have forever stuck in your head?

Bad Heart’s latest blog in “The Beat Goes On” asks what song is currently stuck in your head.  He is haunted by The Trashmen’s “Surfin’ Bird” with its driving beat and old-school surf sound.

Let’s put that question on its head now…

If you could have just one song playing softly in your mind for the rest of your life, what song would it be?

    Easy one for me, “We Will Live Here” by Rag and the Bone Shop. This was a song that won me during my later college days of being barefoot, selling jewelry on the beach to live, looking and longing for that simple love that would transcend the material and aspire for the heavens. This simple little song still takes me back, still brings a tear to my eye for things lost, still makes me long, still makes me hope, still makes me want to sell it all and go back to sleeping on the beach, but now I would have to have a bigger tent for the kids, lol.

    Why is it always just one song? ;)

    I mean I can understand back in the days of the B sides when the stylus cruised low and slow towards the center at 45 RPMs. Yet, here we are smack dab in the Ipod Age of 5,000 songs in the palm of our hands and no electrical socket needed for at least another 6 hours.

    Oh alright~

    Green Onions by Booker T and MG’s come to mind not only because I love the soulful groove the but because I believe it to be a song that cosmically links my dad to my son through me.

    When you make a connection through music it passes through your soul and generates a feeling that can’t be explained.

    Your favorite song plays on radio (or digital device) and a smile comes across your face without a word being spoken, there is a much higher power at work here.

    peace~

    Caravan of Love by the Isley Brothers. Doesn’t this say it all…

    Are you ready for the time of your life
    It’s time to stand up and fight
    (It’s alright) It’s alright (It’s alright, it’s alright)
    Hand in hand we’ll take a caravan
    To the motherland

    One by one we’re gonna stand with the pride
    One that can’t be denied
    (Stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up)
    From the highest mountain, and valley low
    We’ll join together, with hearts of gold

    Now the children of the world can see
    There’s a better way for us to be
    The place where mankind was born
    Is so neglected and torn… torn apart

    Every woman, every man
    Join the caravan of love (Stand up, stand up, stand up)
    Everybody take a stand
    Join the caravan of love

    I’m your brother
    I’m your brother, don’t you know
    I’m your brother
    I’m your brother, don’t you know

    We’ll be living in a world of peace
    In a day when everyone is free
    We’ll bring the young and the old
    Won’t you let your love flow from your heart…

    Not sure if I would want this particular song stuck in my head forever but “The Face” by The Moore Brothers is currently streaming through my head. I always listen to the whole album, this is the one that seems to stick every time. I don’t mind though — it reminds me of old friends and fun times.

    The song that comes to mind is “Here’s Where the Story Ends” by The Sundays. Funny…I can’t understand half the words but it’s the melody and the story ending that I enjoy. Because with one Story Ending starts another story to whose ending we know nothing about. Boy, the adventure of the “not knowings”. Yippee!

    Well I sure as hell hope it isn’t “Nightman” that was irritatingly stuck in my head all day yesterday along with, “you have to pay the toll troll…to get into that boy’s soul…”, after watching the last episode of “Its’ Always Sunny In Philadelphia”, season 2. My god, the horror… But seriously, there are far too many great songs out there to pick just one. It’s like if you had to see the world through just one eye, which one would you pick, the left or the right?

    Unquestionably it would be the composition 4′33″ by John Cage — you know, the one where none of the instruments make a sound for 4 minutes 33 seconds. That would be a good one to have over and over in my head… it would be like there’s no song in there at all :)

    ROCK LOBSTER. Or, maybe Dance This Mess Around, though I tend to be more silly than that.
