Ah you can’t beat a bit of Bacharach as Jim Bowen once drunkenly said. Poor Mr David, never got the recognition he deserved apart from in Kubrick’s 2001. Any idea what I’m on about? Well I have. I woke up with “I’ll never fall In Love Again” playing on my heads slightly broken juke box and you have to go a long way to get a rhyme as good as “What do you get when you kiss a guy? You get enough germs to catch pneumonia. After you do, he’ll never phone ya. I’ll never fall in love again.”, pneumonia, phone ya, genius.
The fact that I mostly type this just after I’ve woken up could explain alot. The fact that the most played track on my broken head jukebox is Zoom by Fat Larry’s Band probably would be beyond the explaining of legions of scientists with particle accelerators the size of Australia.
OK two things for you to do, lets get interactive.
Firstly, someone tell me, did Dusty Springfield ever cover “I’ll never fall in love again”? I know it’s Dionne, but in my head it sounds like Dusty.
Secondly, now I’m curious. What songs play in your head the most whether you like it or not? Go on, use the comments bit and tell me. Someone else is paying you good money while you look at this so take your time.
Yes, Dusty did the best version (good old husky Dusty) – I think you’ll find it on Dusty in Memphis – if not, must be on a compilation somewhere.
Recently, I’ve been waking up to the Vanilla Fudge version of ‘You Keep Me Hanging On’. I don’t know how that popped into the mental juke box after all these years but I do happen to own a copy and it still sounds pretty stunning to me – early prog. rock power ballad – just a tad different to the original (Supremes??).
Cheers,
Doug
I wake up every morning to a different song. Without fail. But you know how when you wake up you quickly forget ur dreams? I will still hear the song playing in my head when I wake, but when I walk into the bathroom, it’s gone!
But I remember this morning’s song. It was Rod Stewart’s ‘Sailing’. The songs that I usually wake up to are oldies, but I do get the occasional Red Hot Chilli Pepper and Simply Red songs. Hell, I even once woke up to Gary Jules’ ‘Donnie Darko’ theme song! 🙂
zoooooooooooooom, chase the day awaaaaaaayyyy
