Music That You Hum To

[jazzy_dave]

A much wetter day than previoulsy , with dark clouds and torrential rain when i left the house this morning. It is not so bad now but the forecast is still for inclement weather ahead. At least today i only have one charity shop to do in Sittingbourne where i am at the moment. enscomced at the Office.

I have been humming the opening of Carl Orff's Carmina Burana (O Fortuna) all day for no particular reason. Strange how suddenly certian pieces of music can get lodged in your brain and stay there.  What music, dear readers, do you sometimes hum along to in your interior monologue when doing something?

Sorry you have such a wet day!Hope you have your 'wellies'!

I tend to sing (internally) whatever song I heard last! Often that's 50's Rock and Roll, but it can be songs my kids loved (like Queen) or the Beatles, or even Barbershop Quartet favorites. Then there's my Mom and Dad's music, songs from the 30's and 40's that they listened to (and sang and danced to) while I was growing up. Very eclectic!!

Glow Worm. My favorite all time annoying brain ditty. Just the first strain, "dut dada da-da, daa-da, daa-da..." which is all I remember. It makes me kind of smile and laugh as I try to not think about it.

Little bits and pieces from Mozart, especially from Cosi fan tutte. Mozart is so constantly miraculous. Also Carmen, and Verdi's Macbeth. I sing along with these, the orchestra parts especially, while I do woodworking, and they sort of stick in my mind later - for days. They carry me through.

Things from keyboard literature - like bits of the Goldberg Variations or Chopin.

I don't really get popular music stuck in my head too much.

O, Fortuna is so exhilarating. Good for beginning and muscling through the day's affairs.

The weather doesn't sound very nice, I hope it's not too bad when you go to the shop.

If I have a song stuck in my head it's usually one I just heard, but when I'm cleaning I'm usually singing Bon Jovi's Livin' on a Prayer. lol

For me it's the Frozen soundtrack, lol!

The Sorcerer's Apprentice is pretty sticky. But there's always something in my head... Sometimes I think that's why I like drone.

Exactly. She's much better than I am. I don't have an onion though.
Funny. Thanks.

At the moment, the Smiths' "Bigmouth Strikes Again". Possibly because I've just been reading posts about the Twelfth Doctor.

What ever sparks an ear worm. Or singing that I am practicing. (Haven't done that much lately).

Things I consciously sing to myself...you don't want to know. Well, since you ask, the first song that sprang immediately to mind was a song I used to sing to my husband (teasingly inferring it was about him): Most People Think That I'm Crazy. Songs I sing to myself not prompted by outside stimulus: Loving You (which I sing to my granddaughters - but I am prone to changing the lyrics), Love is Like a Butterfly (which I used to sing to the father of my two older sons because he was so jealous - not the Dolly Parton version - yuck! - I used to try to get across that love is like a butterfly and if you set it free it comes back to you - unsuccessfully), Feelin' Groovy, I Don't Know How to Love Him (mostly because I was fantasising about being in a play by my neighbour where I would have played Lady Macbeth, which I had the opportunity to do - I know, that doesn't make sense as it is from Jesus Christ Superstar), I Can See Clearly Now that the Rain Has Gone, Summertime, A Horse With No Name...the list goes on. Probably my all-time favourite would be I Can See Clearly Now that the Rain Has Gone, but I love a lot of songs! I know all that sounds very light weight, but if you want to know my teenage favourite, it was Simon and Garfunkel. Since then I have loved Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, Split Endz, Alice Cooper, Les Zepplin...the list goes on! I was never much of a fan of the Beatles, but George is my favourite. I also listened to a fair bit of Cat Stevens, mainly because someone at our boarding house got T for the Tillerman, but I got sick of that eventually. I also love classical and jazz - almost anything except real western country and western and jazz with too much brass in it.

'Oh it's a long, long time - from May to December, and the days grow short when you reach September...' I can hear Frank singing it now...
