For some reason, I have the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" theme tune whizzing around in my head and it won't go away. sad.gif
fsharpminor
Its Poulencs Improvisation 15 (dedicated to Edith Piaf), probably because I played it last night.
Nearly every day I get a 'stuck' tune. Often its something I played the day before.
I might play a couple of the Improvisations at the next Leeds 'do'

I spent last weekend on a Folk Fiddle course where all the material was learned by ear - and has all lodged itself in my head as a perpetual ceilidh...

'Hang On, Little Tomato' by Pink Martini. smile.gif

Mad Scene from Lucia di Lammermoor...

mind you I am trying to learn it, but it is pretty vexing when you wake up at three am and it's playing in your head and you know if you get up and practise you'll wake up the whole house!

The Tango from the film "Scent of a Woman". It's "Por Una Cabeza" by Carlos Gardel.

Before that it was "Send in the Clowns" after seeing Dame Judy sing it at the Proms (on TV not live unfortunately).

at the moment nothing, but I had the Italian Concerto that Benjy / Jon played at Baroque day in my head for most of this week. I had to go and play it to get it out.

Following my contribution to the thread about Rudolf Barshai, I now have the second movement of Shostokovich Symphony no 10 throbbing away in my mind. I think it may be there for some time...

Nellie the Elephant. It sticks better than Step we gaily, on we go, or than McEwan's is the best beer, the best beer.....

and why?

we've been doing resuscitation training, and they give us a wee tune to do CPR to, so that we can stay in time, provide a good rhythm, and for the right number of compressions ph34r.gif

(we've been warned that if we go for McEwan's, we should do so very quietly, in case of being overheard and misunderstood)

...and on a day you commented about my burns too, no CPR needed, but the dumb paramedic did ask why I had leaves on my jumper. Doh! It was January and I'd been rolling on the lawn to put myself out!

Nellie works a treat for CPR.

I've now got the Angel's Farewell from Gerontius. I'm playing it as a voluntary.

I wonder if anyone has actualy sang Nellie whilst doing CPR? unsure.gif

IN my head is Morricone's Gabriel's Oboe. wub.gif

I regard our annual Nellie expedition as insurance against having to do CPR for real - but then working in the community that is a reasonable hope.

Fontana's sonata secunda now - some fiendish twiddly bits in it which just cascade down, and soar up...in my mind only, sadly: I can't do that myself yet.

Ravel's Bolero, I get it stuck in my head all the time!!

I WISH I had a tune stuck in my head.

Too much work and not enough music!!! sad.gif
BerkshireMum
My problem is that the tune refuses to stay in my head - it insists on coming out through my mouth, often as a whistle rather than sung. I'm usually blissfully unaware of this until a family member pleads with me to whistle/sing ANYTHING else!! blush.gif

At the moment I don't have a tune stuck in my head (much to OH's relief, I should think!).

Talk Talk - It's My Life (song here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHpNHLS0Q48 )

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the modulation between Eb mixolydian and A minor.

I've had Wolf's Die ihr schwebet stuck in my head all night long. It even made an appearance in one of my dreams. AAAAAARRRRGH!

Finzi's Carol- I woke up with it buzzing around my head! I have my first pupil playing it in an exam this session- maybe that's why! I do like it- but when it's the first thought in my head it's a bit much.

Well it was BB King's Hummingbird, which was great. Then I read the 'What were you doing...' thread and Chicago's 'If you leave me now' won't leave me alone. Thanks, corenfa! laugh.gif (You didn't actually say it was that song, but that's the one that popped into my head when I read your post, and now it won't go away. I think I'll have to go and play something else, very loudly laugh.gif )

The Looney Tunes theme - it's always stuck in my head mad.gif

LOL - well that's why I didn't want him to play any Chicago on the jukebox.

it's still I Vow To Thee My Country for me...

p.s. apologies.....

Being in ITU I have no such hope. rolleyes.gif I admit to having it in my head when doing CPR, but have resisted the singing of it. tongue.gif

My song for tomorrow. Unsurprisingly.

'Roundelay' by Veljo Tormis - it's on a new CD that I got yesterday and I find it totally gorgeous and utterly mesmerising. Having treated it as a good dictation exercise, I've written it down in solfa stick notation and now can't get it out of my head at all - woke up in the middle of the night hearing it..

Ukranian Bell Carol. We're playing it at orchestra and and band at school. Even though both arrangements are quite nice, it gets quite irritating. mad.gif

The two songs the little blighters in the choir are singing at a concert this afternoon for which they don't know the words. Have just been making prompt cards!
Organistin
From the hymn "Herr, ich bin dein Eigentum", specifically the last part "V?terlich, f?hrst du mich auf des Lebens Wegen"
It modulates nicely from D major to A major at that point and then back again.
Love it!
A real "Ohrwurm" as they say around here (Ear worm meaning a catchy tune that sticks in your head)

Now I'm stuck with the 'Timmy Time' theme tune mixed with 'Thomas the Tank Engine' at least my 3 yr old friend has reasonable taste in telly.

I have a violin.gif tune going round in mine. ###### of the North. Ok, if the forum won't let me write that let's see if it likes Cockerel of the North!

Nice innit! Nowhere near as easy as it looks, though!

Elegie by Massenet. There's a beautiful version sung by Philippe Jaroussky which incorporates a cello solo and it's that I have going round in my head at the moment. I don't mind one bit. laugh.gif
