I've always found that actually listening to the tune that haunts you is most efficacious, if not always a pleasant experience. This is especially helpful in cases wherein one only knows part of the lyric (for instance, the chorus, or bridge), which incessantly revolves in one's head, searching relentlessly yet hopelessly for its' completing lyric. Even if listening to the song doesn't eradicate it, at least a close listening will provide you with a bit more lyrical accompaniment to that sad little meme circling viciously through your brain-case.

Listen to a better song for a while? Actually, in all seriousness, I read somewhere that it's like the hiccups: One of the most effective ways to cure awfulsongstuckinbrainitis is to scare yourself really badly, or otherwise subject yourself to some sort of intense emotional stress. (I find that looking at my "to-do" list often helps, but that's just me...) I've been away from any sort of computer for a few days (it was quite refreshing, thank you) so I wasn't able to needlessly throw in my $0.02 on the latest thredz: >I've been asked to get some songs together for an >alternative Valentine's Day party. Wouldn't this be more challenging if it were limited to songs that mentioned the word "Valentine" in the lyrics, if not in the title? The Replacements did one, and there was one on ABC's first LP as well. Unfortunately, the ABC track might actually be more appropriate in this case. But if you're just looking for party tunes, Joe, I'd go with the New York Dolls' "Trash" or "Lookin' for a Kiss." (Unless it's supposed to be a more somber affair.) >Here's an evil thread that I feel is more fun to contemplate >than to actually embark upon: favorite movie sequences to a >song or piece of music. Personally, my favorite movie song-sequence is "Karl's Disco Weiner Haven" from Alex Cox's "Straight to Hell." I'm not sure why that is... it's sheer level of silliness and incongruity, maybe. In other news: Now it looks like the re-formed Wire is actually *touring the US* in May, and there's even a rumor that the Chameleons are re-forming as well!

This works with the Gilligan's Island theme and "Stairway to Heaven," as well. (At least, the tunes and lyrics can be matched up. I haven't tried using it to get a tune unstuck from my head.) In fact, once I heard a recording of a group doing the Gilligan's theme song lyrics to the tune of "Stairway;" unfortunately it was ten or eleven years ago and I've long since forgotten who it was. On a related note, the gothy industrialish group Ikon did a hilariously lugubrious version of the Gilligan's Island theme. > Here's a test for you: > > "Sometimes when we touch, > the honesty's too much..."

I once heard one guy do "Highway to Heartbreak Hotel" ("Highway to Hell" music, "Heartbreak Hotel" lyrics) and my uncle Randy used to do a weird "Stand By Me" / "Time Of The Season" thinggy.

On another album, they did "Hotel California" to the tune of "Runaway" and "Bette Davis Eyes" in a rockabilly style. I'd be interested to hear of other weird song pairings.

Honestly, I thought that was the most ludicrous, most poorly devised scene in the film. (Viv would disagree, of course. She thought there was one little twist in the film that plain ruined it. I have my own ideas about what ruined it, but this is not the sort of thing I want to discuss on this list nor is it something I want to even broach with folks who haven't seen the film.) The songs were samey and blah blah, from the sappy cover over the opening credits right through to the end. However, Viv and I went to see Aimee Mann and Michael Penn (the married couple with many shared letters yet no shared name) the other night here in Portland. I wasn't too thrilled about the show, but Viv is an old-school Michael Penn fan (don't think she likes his new stuff as much) and, as you probably know, I do anything Vivien says. I rather enjoyed the show! Mostly, though, it was because of the surprise MC, David Cross. Damn, I love that guy. Though Bob Odenkirk is closer to my heart. See, Aimee and Michael decided that between song banter wasn't their forte, so they brought David in to talk between songs for them. It was great. I can see how some hardcore cuntrockers would have found it annoying. And certainly the middle-aged woman at the end of the row who sang along with all of the Magnolia songs and knew nothing else was offended by his fuck-filled opening monologue. But I had a great time and the music was mostly good. Towards the end, after Michael and Aimee had both forgotten words to their own songs partway through, David started just introducing random songs to annoy the singers. "Next, will be my favorite song, Sweet Home Alabama", etc. I was really disappointed that they didn't follow through with the crap covers. The sessiony guitarist guy, however, seemed totally prepared to dig into that riff. He started, but stopped. Mr. Penn and Ms. Mann didn't do much to encourage those antics. LA people are no fun. OK, Aimee did end one song by segueing clumsily into Ramblin' Man. So it wasn't a total wash. But how could any of us think it was over until after Michael did No Myth (with Aimee doing most of the vocals, replacing "what if I was Romeo in black jeans" with "what if I was Phil Collins"... you had to be there) and Aimee did Voices Carry (the guitarist sang a verse... Michael didn't know the words. He did belt out one line he DID know in a faux David Byrne that was kind of funny. Complete with the karate chops down the forearm.) for crowd-appeal. Overall, it was fun. David Cross was the high point for me, just because it was totally unexpected. Mr. Show is probably the funniest thing ever put on television. Viv even agrees that it is mostly funnier than her cherished Flying Circus. OK. Nuff o' me.

Yes, it was a corker of a gig - much better than last time I saw him (a rather lacklustre performance at Oxford). He was in full-on jangle mode for most of the evening - Birds in Perspex, Oceanside, QoE, Madonna of the Wasps etc. Also a nice duellijng harmonicas version of Queen Elvis with Tim Keegan. High point for an Egyptians fan was the appearance of Morris Windsor to duet with Robyn on Airscape, then to play drums on Kingdom of Love and Insanely Jealous - three Soft Boys on stage together! Regular drummer Patch Hanna returned to the seat for Eight Miles High, which had Morris and Tim on stunning harmony vocals. This was followed by 'a George Harrison song'. What would you choose, folks? Soomthing? Bewur of Darkness? Taxman? No, none of these, he had dug out the obscure Beatles B-side 'Old Brown Shoe' and the whole band zipped into it with joie de vivre and aplomb. Finale was 'Beautiful Girl'.
