25 Mar 03 - 05:34 PM (#918304) Subject: Lyr Req: going insanse trying to remember From: GUEST,barney bones i have had this song going through my head for about 6 weeks now, i heard it on the radio at work but missed the title. sadly, i can only remember a couple of lines and that it sounds like curiosity killed the cat (the band not the song), although i'm pretty certain it wasn't them as i have compiled most of their back catalogue in an attempt to find the song. anyway for anyone who likes a challenge here is the (very) little i can remember: be-bop my lady, said love, gonna fight for the right to get into your heart don't wanna work for you no more not much to go on i know but i'm just hoping that someone out there may know it. alternatively i am being very dense and it is quite famous. any help appreciated. |

But it cant be any worse than the request for "I Love You, a Bushel and a Peck" that has been on the forum for days now....and I have THAT going around in my brain, like an insane wasp buzzing in a spider web. No matter what your song sounds like, it's got to be better than that! |

26 Mar 03 - 06:20 PM (#919119) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: going insanse trying to remember From: GUEST,Celtaddict Dick Swain says that the phenomenon you describe, of a song or line running interminably through your mind, is called an earworm. It is evidently from a German phrase, though what the German for earworm would be is beyond my ken. |

"hey, if you don't ask you don't get"...true...and if you go to your local Chinese restaurant and ask for Lasagna, you 'may' find a cook that does a Cantonese version, but most would not understand why you even asked. |

27 Mar 03 - 08:17 AM (#919515) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: going insane trying to remember From: Alasdair Bill is right. Folk people sing "fol-de-rol" where others might sing be-bop. |

27 Mar 03 - 01:34 PM (#919858) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: going insane trying to remember From: Bat Goddess Ohrwurm/earworm! I love it. Still kicking myself for never learning German, especially since I grew up in Milwaukee where it was taught in every school. And me a Schulz (and a Koch) yet! Gonna get some mileage out of this term (even more than dudelsackpfeifer or however it's spelled). Linn |

27 Mar 03 - 05:33 PM (#920035) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: going insane trying to remember From: Bob Bolton G'day Celtaddict, Snuffy, Wolfgang and Bat Goddess, I believe the old English equivalent term, for both songs and tunes that ran round your head, was a "maggot" - and there are many dance tunes from the Elizabethan period onward named (Someone's) Maggot. Regards, Bob Bolton |
