Have you ever heard a song for the first time, and it just, sticks? It may not be a great song, or one you would normally like, but you just can't get it out of your head, and have memorized the lyrics within a few days? One that you can just rock out to forever. This happens to me every so often, and I love it when it does. Recently: Flathead, by the Fratellis (from the iPod commercial), Friday I'm in Love by the Cure, Hey Julie by Fountains of Wayne (I heard it on Scrubs), and Semi-charmed Life by Third Eye Blind. These aren't my favorite songs or ones I'd normally listen to, but I just can't stop singing them.

So, what songs make you go "Mmmmm"

Also, how was my explanation of what I thought of these songs?

Asereje by Las Ketchups. I hardly speak a word of Spanish, yet I know the words to the chorus.

The Four Horsemen by Metallica
Back In Black by AC/DC

On the former, I've heard the guitar solo in my dreams and actually recognized it in my dream.

A friend sent me Flathead by the Fratellis a couple of weeks ago and its been sitting on my computer and I've yet to hear it - I'll do that now and let you know....



EDIT: having now heard it....meh

I can see it's catchy but I can't tell if it's annoyingly so or whether it grows on you

That song from the Outback comericals has been stuck in my head for about a month.

Be Free and Honjitsu-wa seiten nari, both by Do As Infinity

Definetly annoyingly so. But its so catchy...

Haha... I was just thinking about it the other day, how every time Foreigner's "I want to know what love is (http://youtube.com/watch?v=z9OGfBGOCpk)" comes on the radio while I'm driving, I have to sing along at the top of my lungs.

It's so sappy, so cliché... so catchy classic.

What can I say, I've been having an 80s nostalgia period as of late, and have had Bronski Beat's "Smalltown Boy (http://youtube.com/watch?v=U7-q1WRaKNg)" on repeat for like a day. The video is totally made for tugging at my emotions.

Symphony of Destruction and Hangar 18, both by Megadeth, ...And justice for all, by Metallica, My Selene by Sonata Arctica, uh...I...THINK that's it.

Those are the only songs I listen to.

Oh, Attack and Dreaming by System of a Down.

The most recent ones have been "Like Dylan in the Movies" by Belle and Sebastian, and "Stella Was a Diver and She Was Always Down" by Interpol (which I've been chasing down over the internet all day now).

Every time I hear Lola by The Kinks or Indiana Wants Me by R Dean Taylor I just gotta sing.

Fergilicious. I'm not sorry.

Dandy Life by Collective Soul. That song makes me want to sing along with it every time. <3

A lot of U2 songs:

Lemon: "Midnight is where the day begins"
Stuck In A Moment: "It's just a moment, it's time will pass"
Grace: "What left a mark no longer stings, because Grace makes beauty out of ugly things"

Really, anything that makes me take a step back so I can see the bigger picture of life, you know?

Give It To Me- Nelly Furtado.

Bowie's Young Americans. I just gotta sing along (which really upsets my housemates, since I can't carry a tune in a bucket...)

Boston's "More Than a Feeling." :D

I hate it, but it's so "classic rock" I just can't resist. :p

Laibach - "Life is Life"

Joakim of all things (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oewlu-Unolk)

Every time I hear Lola by The Kinks or Indiana Wants Me by R Dean Taylor I just gotta sing.

I agree about "Lola." And I hate liking it, too, since it took me about a thousand years to figure out what the song is probably about - makes me feel a bit slow. :p

I refuse to answer this question.

Televators - The Mars Volta

Khe Sanh - Cold Chisel.

i totally had it when i bought Bolt Thrower's new album a few months back:

The Killchain by Bolt Thrower
Granite Wall by Bolt Thrower


i still put those two songs on before any others on the album/artist list


also there was one by Damien Marley i couldn't get out of my head. but then i tend to get a bit obsessive about what i'm listening to anyway.. tend not to change the CD for weeks until i've listened to my latest choice/buy to death...

Khe Sanh - Cold Chisel.

Nice one. It kinda sticks in my head too.

Bohemian Like You - The Dandy Warhols.

I've just had it stuck in my head for the last few days.

rawrtatsic songs;

Coffee shop soundtrack; All Time Low
Silhouette; Thrice

Asereje by Las Ketchups. I hardly speak a word of Spanish, yet I know the words to the chorus.

Aserejé doesn't have any sense in spanish anyway. Really, the chorus doesn't mean nothing. It has just babbling.

Fergilicious. I'm not sorry.

You shouldn't be.

There aren't any at the present, but some in the past have been:

"Basket Case" by Green Day
"Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana
"Suck My Left One" by Bikini Kill
"Bleed For Ancient Gods" by Amon Amarth
"The Twisted Nails of Faith" by Cradle of Filth

Oh, "Beneath These Waves" and "Terror Train" by Demons and Wizards.

Also, I've probably listened to "Raining Blood" by Slayer about 100 times in the past few days.

Hits are "engineered" that way, many MTV bull**it music is produced and arranged using known patterns and harmonic combinations that are catchy and often derive from songs done by previous artists. You actually see some bands coming up with songs that are very similar to their latest hit (Bon Jovi anyone?).

i was listening to Baxter Dury's 'Love in the Garden Now' earlier, i think that suits the description of 'songs that make you go mmmmmm'.

Right now I can't get enough of "Modern Invention" by the Submarines. There's something about it that just begs me to listen over and over again.

Bohemian Like You - The Dandy Warhols.

I've just had it stuck in my head for the last few days.

oh yeh, that's a good one. i was once stuck at a junction where someone was being a tard and i was alongside this guy in a van playing that at full blast, couldn't help beating the steering wheel along to it.

Elbow - Leaders of the Free World.

Saw them live, having never heard any of their stuff, and that song was still in my head 3 months later.

There are far too many songs to list to which I have had this reaction to, but I suppose it applies particularly to the following songs...

Cave In- Big Riff
Genghis Tron- Arms
Idiot Pilot- To Buy A Gun
Oceansize- Homage To A Shame
Radiohead- Idioteque
Silverchair- Steam Will Rise
Snow Patrol- One Night Is Not Enough

Satan said dance - Clap your hands say yeah (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QN0iYUaTL4M)
and most stuff on the new cocorosie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsjjxMjKbHM&mode=related&search=)album
are the most recent ones.

Tell Laura I Love her - don't know why it sticks, it just does.

http://www.geocities.com/bjaes.geo/lyrics/laura.htm

Anything written/sung by Maynard James Keenan.

Led Zepplin - Freebird.

Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks - One-winged Dove.

Pat Benatar - whatever that 'heartbreaker' song was called.


I don't hear the last three songs very often, but when I do it's very captivating.

Well, "God Moving over the Face of the Waters" by Moby. They used that for the credits in the movie Heat. Classic film... I actually do like the song, though.

Then there's "Blinded By The Lights" by The Streets and "Love Me or Hate Me" by Lady Sovereign. I don't normally like hip hop, but I can't stop listening to those songs.

Oh, and "The Trooper" by Iron Maiden is ridiculously addictive.

I thought Blinded By the Light was an Eric Clapton song? Or maybe I'm getting him confused with Phil Collins again...


I dunno anymore.

The Soviet National Anthem. I cant get those damn words or that damn tune out of my head.

Bruce Springsteen.

And it's a different song.

Okay, here comes my outing:

Rödelheim Hartreim Projekt - Keine ist

Dieses Schweben
im Leben
zwischen Nehmen
und Geben
Das ist das Leben
so ist es eben.

Keine ist,
keine andere ist
wie Du

*blushes*

But an actual song and not an anthem it would have to be Put Your Money Where Your Mouth is by Jet

Or Are You Gonna be my Girl by Jet

"Murder Fantasies" and "People of the lie" by Kreator

:)
