Sorry guys. At least the misery is shared  :D

You're forgiven but kindly refrain from making too many references to your 'Abba's Greatest Hits' compilation CD Collection.

Lots of Dvorak lately, different pieces. Serenade, Dumky Trio, Symphony 6 to name a few. Perhaps he just that good with melodies?

And maybe its a sign I need to que these up on my player.

A dangerous question as it can spread the meme. Help! by the Beatles.

"Weh spricht: Vergeh!
Weh spricht: Vergeh!
Doch alle Lust will Ewigkeit,
Will tiefe, tiefe Ewigkeit
!"
That's been stuck (on and off, of course) in my head for some 30 years!  :D

"What is currently stuck in my head" ? Here's what is stuck in my head:

"How am I gonna pay for all this" ?  ???

Followed by:

"How can I avert my wife finding out?"  ::)

I can hear the answer in my head: some giant tolling alternating between "Not in your life" and "Good luck buddy!"

:'(

The trick is a PO box, and a baggy shirt.

I had to get up really early this morning to catch a 7:00 am flight from Inverness to Heathrow (and connect there with a flight back home to Madrid), so got little sleep last night. Laying half awake in bed, I had long portions of the first movement of Beethoven's Fourth Piano Concerto playing in my head (with great detail in the piano part). Curious.  :o

Couldn't identify the pianist or conductor, though.  ;D

Granados Danza española No. 4 (Villanesca) has a melody that tends to get stuck in my head.

There is a passage from the first movement of Mahler's 9th that is stuck in my head.

Bits and pieces from Offenbach's Le voyage dans la lune and Les brigands.

I'm in Minneapolis and the light rail here has a "honk" that is the first two notes of the jazz tune at the end of the TV show "Archer" so that song keeps getting stuck. I am highly susceptible to this kind of thing. At my office, the elevator "ding" is the first note of Schubert's impromptu D. 899 No. 2 so that work always gets stuck in my head when entering and leaving. Likewise Houston city transit doors opening with a "ding" that sets off Chopin nocturne Op. 9 No. 1.

In the town I used to live in, the buttons at crosswalks beeped the first two notes of Ticheli's Blue Shades for band. (It's a descending minor third, but I'd recently played Blue Shades.)

Now that I think of it, I have a Samsung air-conditioner which, when powered on or off, beeps the first six chords of the 1st movement of Beethoven's Eighth. I swear I'm not making it up.

I had a guitar piece also ingrained in my mind these days, and was trying to figure out who it was by (Tárrega? Sor?).

It was all very banal in the end: BA and Iberia made a mess of my flight bookings to and from the UK, and this had to be sorted out over the phone (not online). While being left on permahold at their customer service line, a guitar arrangement of the "Flower Duet" from Lakmé (BA's "theme song" for at least 30 years AFAIK) was constantly playing...

Certainly not Sor, who died 44 years before Lakmé was premiered. Most probably Tarrega.
