OK, this may not turn into much of a thread but what the hell.
You know I, like you, sometimes sing a song that pops into my head.
It's usally at home when I'm "feeling it" (I use that term very
losely). Anyway, I've "sung" thousands of songs over the years in
the shower and such but I've noticed that I really have two songs I
sing more then any others. I'm mean songs that I've known for a long
time but for some dam reason these same two songs seem to pop into my
head a lot more then any others. They have staying power for some
reason. I like both songs but they are not my fav songs or even fav
song by either artist. It's just curious and sort of odd to me. I'm
sure there is a reason these songs keep coming up in my memory more
then others and I have some guesses as to "why" but I'll spare you
that much.
Anyway, the songs are...
Elvis Costello's "5 Gears In Reverse" and of all things....
Elvis Presley's "No room to rhumba in a sports car".
(A runner up to these would have to be "Take a letter Maria".)
Do any of you notice a tendency to have certain songs bubble up from
your memory a lot more then others over the years. If so, what are
they and are they favs or are they not?
