Haiku Friday: The Song You Can't Get Out of Your Head



Maybe you don't have a song stuck in your head right now (like I do), but you know it has happened at some time or another.  An advertising jingle, "Muskrat Love," that song about gum that IPLawGuy wrote in 1984, whatever.

Here is mine:

Vampire Weekend;
That Bari sax as a drone...
It's stuck in my head!

Now it is your turn.  Just make it 5 syllables/7 syllables/5 syllables and vent!

Comments:
Always the same song,
My Baby Takes The Morning...
We waltz, teens in gym.

 
Don't wanna get up.
May I have ONE stress-free day?
Then, my heart sings out:

This Amazing Grace,
Ev'ry morning renewed by
His unfailing love.
 
Earworms are constant
Could I be going insane?
God, why Def Leppard?!?!?!
 
That old Chiffons song,
“He’s So Fine.” Really catchy
for former Beatles.
 
It gets so bad that
have raced home to play tune on
CD, turntable

Spotify may have
saved my life. Can pull tune
Soothe crazy desire
 
World Party, Ramones
Stones, Zeppelin, Beatles, Who
Sonics......Terry Jacks?!?!?
 
I sit in meetings
The Foo Fighters in my head
Always "Everlong"



 
It's not just the songs
It's that they all remind me
Of the same, gone man.
 
Ring-ding-ding-ding-ding
Ring-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding
Ring-ding-ding-ding-ding

A whole lot of noise
For the mysterious sound
The sly fox must say.

Why did my wife feel
A need to share that song with
A six-year-old child?
 
Still won't -ring- leave my -
Ding- mind. Utterly -ding- un-
Welcome -ding- invader.
 
Good Lord!! Aqualung?!?!
How did THAT one get going?
Could be worse. Maybe.
 
Badge. Cream's Clapton
A precursor to Layla
Ah.. Much better now.
 
All day, everyday
My head like a radio
with no off button

Top Forty, Oldies,
Jazz, Southern Rock, Country, Rap
Please turn it off, NOW
 
I'd like to teach the
world to sing in perfect har-
mony! Just kill me.
 
The condition of
My stomach is of none of
Your beeswax.Yammerer.
 
A white sportcoat and
A pink carnation? Feeling
Extremely nauseous.
 
Listen Osler--Geoff sucks.

Geoff used to murmur
"The Volga Boatmen" in my
Ear before sex. That was

One boat which sailed real
Infrequently,for just that reason,
Russkys in my bed.
 
Smile tho your heart is
Breaking,WTF!!! Make me
Numbnuts! Will FEEL it!!!
 
Star-rich black skies,
o’er lapis lazuli seas --
tall masted sailing.

Weaving the Greek Isles,
virtuoso troubadour’s
nightly lullaby

"...build me up, Butter-
cup baby just to let me down ...
and mess me around ...”


 
Lou-ie,Loo-aye O
Baby now,we gotta go.
Flee my frickin' ear,Fool!





And yes,I would like some potato chips with my tunafish hotdish and some lime jello with pineapple and cottage cheese.
 
I remember my
Dude days,holding Sally's knee,
Hep me,Rhonda.Yeah....


Get Sally out of
My mind.He'p me Rhonda,H'ep
He'p me Rhonda.Yeah!
