I wonder if one could learn something interesting about one's self by noting these snippets over time and then analyzing them.

At the moment, I can't get out of my head the Benedictus from Haydn's Creationmass.

Hmm.

Doubtful.  :)

I don't know that one. Is it a modern piece?  :D

I've created a monster. What I can't get out of my head now is ELO's Can't Get It Out of My Head.

I have a short-ish list of classics I keep in mind for such occasions. The Aria from the Goldberg Variations, e.g. . . . if I take a minute to concentrate on hearing, in real time, the Aria in my inner ear, it clears the sound stage.

Many many pieces that I can't get out of my head, so I can imagine myself visiting this thread quite a lot!

Today:
Mahler 7 - first movement, the beautiful adagio before the return to the opening chords... also the thrilling allegro end.
Mahler 9 - ending to the first movement, so incredibly beautiful. No wonder I have this in my mind considering the state of my mind at the moment....
Glazunov - Concert Waltz no.1, simply delightful.

I'd like to say Yellow Submarine did the trick, but it was actually Pycard's Gloria wrestled Mr. Lynne out the premises.

Oh no, here comes Van Morrison now! Ack!

Of course, every time I see that picture of the Sarge, XTC comes wafting in:

There are always pieces I can't get out of my head, mainly from Wagner, Beethoven, Liszt and Mahler; but today I seem to be quite fixed with Respighi's Pines of Rome, especially with the first movement "Pines of Villa Borghese".

I'm whistling it even now..... ;)

My recent discovery of La Folia has got me, bad. There are many different versions of La Folia (Vivaldi, Corelli to name a few) and they are delicious slices of music.
Here's a video of Vivaldi's La Folia, this performance seems to have shorten the piece as my recordings all are around 9 minutes or longer.

Is the "1-877-KARSFORKIDS" jingle a local curse or are people plagued by it elsewhere?

EDIT: Just googled it and found I don't suffer alone. Click if you dare!
