Anyone who's done a Cyprus to Cairo cruise may have been similarly assailed by Eastern European phonetic dislocation. Painful, though with a certain masochistic amusement!
But surely we've all heard this? |

Being a more sophisticated type myself, my internal muzak for most of today has been this. Note the valve trombone. Not that I've been roused out of a slumber by the mention of moderately unusual brass instruments, far from it... Rather nice. I've been half-thinking recently of getting a valve trombone - I play in a horn section with a trumpet and there are balance problems on bass trombone, but my tenor playing is ropey. Apart from that I had the St Louis blues march stuck in my head for several months about 17 years ago. More recently, Gaelforce (or rather Tossing the Feathers) has been an earworm. Perhaps there is something in music that repeats a chord progression, making it had to break out of a mental loop? That certainly fits folk and blues. (also I've been stuck on the middle of the intermezzo from Holst 1 a few times) NB |

Now that's made me think of the slide trumpet and I've got a particularly beautiful rendition of Purcell's funeral music for Queen Mary playing in my head now. Shame the CD's in Durham but at least I have it in my head!
There's a DSCH fugue (in D major) that I used to play, that, in times of boredom, I tap out on the table, the arm of a chair, my skull, which gets into a rather disturbing loop of about 4 bars in length and it gets to the stage where I realise that I've been absent mindedly running through the same loop for the last 10-15 minutes while thinking of something completely different.

But surely we've all heard this?At least they sing in the right style and with western intonation, Oz: that's like a parody of a parody of Dudley Moore's parody of Pears.... |

It's rather splendid I think. I've been known to do a parody of it myself. Do check out the German words he thinks he's singing some day.  |

After tinners quoted from Blur the other day (yesterday?), I've had it in my head. Still, better than Fauré...  |

Prompted by Friday's concert, the third movement of 'Autumn' from Vivaldi's Four Seasons has taken over my brain for the last four hours. Not at all unpleasant but I wish I could stop it when I want to. |

I suffer from this a lot always of course sub consciously - one piece which revolves around my head at the slightest opportunity is the brief quick 2nd movement of Sibelius 4th symphony - this is by far the least interesting movement of this great symphony and cant quite work out why its imprinted in my brain -maybe its the sort of nihilistic tone of this movement that suits my mood -music can be a real puzzle at times.......  |

I like the way they put Uranus round at the back. |

The wind speeds on Uranus can reach 250 metres per second.

The earworminess of Sheherazade, discussed on another thread prompted me to dig up this one.
It is with very great regret that I must report the lodging in my brain this morning, having heard Rolf Harris on the Today programme, of Two Little Boys. (The song, ok? Not - oh never mind.)
If I don't do something about this pretty quickly it's going to be there all day, and I won't be answerable for my actions.

Think yourself lucky, Martle. My brain has been infested all morning with a dire McCartney song called Goodbye which afaik was only ever known as a single by Mary Hopkin in the late 1960s. I don't even remember hearing it recently but I wish it would go away. |
