Someone renamed it, but mine was earlier still:

This comes back every so often, like hiccups, or a rash

Oh boy, that's an easy one to get stuck in your head. Right up there with the opening theme (piccolo solo) from Ravel's G major piano concerto. For me, that's the "rash" (as much as I love the piece, and that Basque melody).
Beethoven's Op. 133 -- A fugue so bad that even Beethoven himself called it "Grosse".

Oh but there is!

Go figure  :-[ . Well, I'm new to the whole forum thing (not just GMG, but any online forum) and from what I can gather, resurrecting threads over a year old seems to be like some sort of social faux-pas. Then again, starting new (redundant) ones seems to be disorganized...

And thanks, amw, now the Poulenc is stuck in my head!

A brain.

Pretty sure it's a brain, anyway.

I knew I should have put a trigger warning on that :-/

Online forums are an odd bunch; in some of them 'necroposting' can get you banned, in others it's encouraged rather than having dozens of threads on the same topic. GMG tends towards the latter somewhat—being a rather inactive forum, with very few threads accumulating over a thousand posts—but has sufficiently lenient moderation that either approach is acceptable, more or less.

And I'm sure off-topic discussion aren't tolerated as much somewhere else, but then again, surely nobody at GMG would ever go OT.  0:)

This is of those musical passages that always seems to be in the back of my head, ready to burst free  :) :

Good thing I love this music, because if I didn't, it would have driven me mad by now  :D

Resurrecting old threads is not frowned on here. Most of us enjoy being reminded of past discussions, and updating them. But starting new ones on the same topic won't get you punished either. We all know GMG's search engine is less than ideal. The mods understand when a topic is started because an old version can't be found or confirmed. Life is simple here. It's hard to get into trouble  8)

the phone rings and somebody says,
"hey, they made a movie about
Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."

Currently stuck in my head: Genesis' Dance On A Volcano. 8)

Nothing at the moment, but it's usually something (intentional small "s") by the Beatles. I've been listening to little else for about a month now.

A dammit. Contagion by mention! I am NOT reading this thread anymore!

Lately it's been very frequently either the final 10 minutes of Roussel's Bacchus et Ariane or a Beatles song by Paul, particularly "Here, There, and Everywhere."

Currently, Yes' Heart Of The Sunrise from Fragile. Great stuff.

Today it is the minuet from Ravel's "Le Tombeau de Couperin". The rigadoun is also making occasional appearances.

The "Love is long" part of "Long Haired Lady" from Ram (I always thought "Love Is Long" was the title).

Now, that damn alto flute solo at the beginning of Varese's "Ameriques"!
