Dude! The only time I ever even HEARD that song was when they made fun of it on Beavis and Butthead!

LOL I know.. THat's where I first heard it, and I loved it right away. Back then.. it all seemed so much more interesting...

But I hadn't heard that song since the mid 90's... then heard it out of the blue the other day, and it's been in me head ever since.

dude I'm sorry you could get somethin of that nature stuck in your head....I would have listened to more then 5 seconds of it but I have ELP going right now, which had been playing ear worm on me since I woke up, had this idea to fuse part of one song with this TOOL riff I know...seems pretty good to me, gotta hammer out the right hand a lil more and get some recording time in......whats worse is when you listen to the song in your head and its STILL there right after you get done with it

The Ice cream man drives around in our neighborhood blasting the song
The Entertainer thru his little p.a. on his truck yes in the middle of winter.
Spring is actually beginning here now temps. in the low 70's almost everyday now, but that song just gets stuck in my head I'll be whisteling it and not even realize it untill my wife ask me to stop. Then I think Ice Cream Man eh! then the Van Halen song gets stuck in my head. It happens everytime

I heard it's a cover. Who did Van Halen cover?

Pretty sure the original Ice Cream Man was by Chicago Blues Guitarist John Brim.

No no no dont want it, dont want it.
Damn too late!
Get it out, get it out!

Kramer,

I honestly never heard of "Letters to Cleo", But they seem like solid players to me.

Besides, that little chicky is a cutie pie.

I could think of worse things to have stuck in my head.

Reminds me of "The Go-Go's" for some reason..

Never thought of this as a "classic" by any stretch of the imagination.

LOL

Sorry to hear about your malady, Kramer.

I once got a Madonna song stuck in my head...almost committed suicide!

Mexican Radio gets stuck in there now and then too, pretty good song really, at least if you ever saw the video...

I'm on a Mexican Radio...radio...radio...

But I like it when I get Van Wilks' song "Boystown" stuck in my head...or "Stilletto Blues"...any of a dozen Pink Floyd tunes, just makes my day....

Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so...

hehe...now you'll have THAT one stuck in your head

Turning Japanese I think I'm...

PaleoBill,

Back in my formative ,new-wave, alternative, underground, days (late70's/early80's) ,I had a whole lot of Vapors (Turning Japanese) stuck in my head, along with a bunch of Stranglers, Magazine, Root Boy Slim & The Sex Change Band, The Punishment Of Luxury, The Dickies, The Undertones, Fingerprintz, Magazine, UJ3RK5 , The Buzzcocks, etc., etc.
MOST OF It's STILL THERE!

Re. "Mexican Radio"
Cin & I seen Stan Ridgeway & company live not far from our place back in the day. Great innovative band! The performance was excellent, although the sound system was lacking. One thing that I recall about that "Wall Of Voodoo" gig, was their lackidasical drummer, who serendipitously played subserviently to the synthesized ryhthmn. (They had a couple of early vintage synthesizers) . Most impressive, in my opinion, was their guitar player,who was playing in a very cool Tex-Mex kinda' style.

Madonna?
Like A Virgin shur 'nuff wasn't MY bag at the time of its release, HOWEVER, to give the she-devil her due, it can't be denied that some of her songs were quite excellent.

To bring it all back on topic.....
If ya got a fat head like me, there probably is enough room to stuff a vast amount of melody, harmony and rhythm, and God knows what else!

Now whatchya got to say 'bout that?

That Mexican Radio song is still stuck in my head.

Why did I read this?

Its in there again!

Ha Ha

In college that Im Turning Japanese song was in my head all the time and of course Thats What I lIke About You by the Romantics was another one for some reason. Every band I saw in those days and the ones I was in played that song. Now its on commercials and I hear m daughter singing it, some things you just cant get away from!
