Its The Same Old Song

Posted

Is there a tune that you always revert to whistling or humming.

You know, the one that for ever you always seem to be humming to yourself. There may be the occasional interloper along the way, but they are mere fancies. When the going gets reflective you always find yourself going back to the old fave.

Mine is the instr version of Joey Dee - How Can I Forget

A fave title for those cant get you out of my head type threads, but as long as I can remember when I find myself whistling without thinking, its always that one.

Not as funny as my late dad's though. Every now and again his foot would start tapping and we'd start quietly chuckling waiting for the inevitable 'Tequilla!!!' and we'd all crack up.

I get up in the morning slavin' for bread sah,

so that every mouth can be fed.

Sing it nearly every day when I'm working.

This has been with me for ages.

My Dad used to play it on a Path 78.

One of my favourite tunes ever.

Charles Trenet "La Mer" 1946. What a tune!

Can't go near the sea without it popping up.

(Remade by Bobby Darin as "Beyond the sea")

Mine is always the last tune I played that day, until something crops up like a kylie Minogue song or like last week when a girl walked passed me with her kid's singing Lost My Partner What Should I Do? think I sang that for 3 hours after that-bookin follocks. :lol:

I think that is more "nasal" than whislting! - what an angry song!! Weller just before he came out as a Soulster :lol: . Great album though.

:) Well I obviously don't 'cos I've spent god knows how many years singing "Get up in the morning, baked beans for breakfast".

The Panic Is On - Roy Hamilton, had it in my head for about two weeks now and just when you think it is gone it creeps up the back of my neck and into my head and off it goes again. I did like the track to begin with. Imagine going to the doctors and saying " I have a The Panic On in my head" As I am typing this it is spinning around. I would just like to say "Roy please fark off"

Not at all, great song. Love it to bits!

Coat got gone...... :ohmy:

Terence Trent Darby -SIGN YOUR NAME.

"Sign your name across my arse,i want you eat bum gravy".I think.

For reasons outside of my consciousness, don't know why :ohmy: , but for over 30 years Linda and The Funky Boys - Climbing The Steps Of Love, has been buzzing around my head whenever it empties of daily thoughts.

Which makes me think. . . . . . . what label is this on prior to the wonderful Spark Northern Soul!

:) Monday morning preacher Davies would cry, everybody here is Jesus's child . . .. . PLEASE TELL THE VOICES TO STOP NOW!

Mine is "I say yeah" by the Pets. This tune always pops into my head,esp when I'm in a good mood. The only problem is, it's a bit embarrassing to find yourself singing "got a letter from my boyfriend" at the top of your voice .......... :wicked::D
