Comment and let me know what you think. Perchance some of my "earworms" are some of yours, too?
1. “The Stowaway” – The BBC National Orchestra featuring Yamit Mamo, Dr. Who Series Three OST
Lyrics:
Once I found a stowaway
Upon my ship on Christmas Day
I was fair so I gave him a chance
"You shouldn't be here,
What's your tale?
I ought to throw you to the whale."
He just smiled and said,
"Come here, let's dance."
[Chorus]
He said, "Borrow or steal,
I'll find a way
To be with my lover upon Christmas Day
And I'll run and I'll roam
I'll cover the ground
This Christmas I'll see you
I'll be around."
He told me 'bout his girl back home
Waiting patient, all alone
While we danced I shed a little tear
He closed his eyes, all out at sea,
I think he danced with her not me
I'll just have to wait another year.
[Chorus]
He said, "Borrow or steal,
I'll find a way
To be with my lover upon Christmas Day
And I'll run and I'll roam
I'll cover the ground
This Christmas I'll see you
I'll be around."
I think of him now and again
I wonder how his journey ends
As I sail by on my lonesome sea
That stranger with the haunting face
Here then gone without a trace
Lying with his love, that's where he'll be.
[Chorus x4]
"Beg, borrow or steal
I'll find a way
To be with my lover next Christmas Day
And I'll run and I'll roam
I'll cover the ground
Next Christmas I'll see you
I'll be around."
I know this is a Christmas song, and rather obscure, but it just gets stuck in my head ALL THE TIME.
2. “The Show” – Lenka, Lenka
Lyrics:
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go I can't do it alone I've tried
And I don't know why
Slow it down
Make it stop
Or else my heart is going to pop
'Cause it's too much
Yeah, it's a lot
To be something I'm not
I'm a fool
Out of love
'Cause I just can't get enough
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go I can't do it alone I've tried
And I don't know why
I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down I know
I've got to let it go
And just enjoy the show
The sun is hot
In the sky
Just like a giant spotlight
The people follow the sign
And synchronize in time
It's a joke
Nobody knows
They've got a ticket to that show
Yeah
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I dont know where to go I can't do it alone I've tried
And I don't know why
I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down I know
I've got to let it go
And just enjoy the show
Just enjoy the show
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I dont know where to go I can't do it alone I've tried
And I don't know why
I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down I know
I've got to let it go
And just enjoy the show
dum de dum
dudum de dum
Just enjoy the show
dum de dum
dudum de dum
Just enjoy the show
I want my money back
I want my money back
I want my money back
Just enjoy the show
I want my money back
I want my money back
I want my money back
Just enjoy the show
My theme song. Lol. I just love Lenka’s voice, and the entire sound of the song altogether.
3. “Here (In Your Arms)” – Hellogoodbye, Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs!
Lyrics:
I like,
Where we are,
When we drive,
In your car.
I like,
Where we are;
here.
Cause our lips,
Can touch,
And our cheeks,
Can brush.
Our lips,
Can touch;
here.
Well you are the one, the one that lies close to me.
Whispers "Hello, I've missed you quite terribly."
I fell in love, in love with you suddenly.
Now there's no place else I could be but here in your arms.
I like,
Where you sleep,
When you sleep,
Next to me.
I like,
Where you sleep;
Here.
Our lips,
Can touch,
And our cheeks,
Can brush.
Cause our lips,
Can touch;
here
Well you are the one, the one that lies close to me.
Whispers "Hello, I've missed you quite terribly."
I fell in love, in love with you suddenly.
Now there's no place else I could be but here in your arms.
Our lips,
Can touch...
Our lips,
Can touch;
here.
Well you are the one, the one that lies close to me.
Whispers "Hello, I’ve missed you quite terribly."
I fell in love, in love with you suddenly.
Now there's no place else I could be but here in your...
Well you are the one, the one that lies close to me.
Whispers "Hello, I´ve missed you quite... missed you quite."
I fell in love, in love with you suddenly.
Now there's no place else I could be but here in your arms
Here in your arms
Than here in your arms
My other theme song, lol. And, as of yesterday, my ringtone. This song puts an instant smile on my face, and, for some reason, makes me think of clubbing! ;)
4. “Oscar Wilde” – Band of Thieves, Ordinary Riches
Lyrics:
Episodes and parallels
And don’t you want the invitation
Big bright accent, catty smile
Oscar Wilde confrontation
Oh, live like it’s the style
Whoa, waltz on your front porch
We are all our own devil
We are all our own devil
And we make this world our hell
We are all our own devil
We are all our own devil
And we make this world our hell
Porcelain teacups decorate
Tables and the conversation
Beauty pageants, all the time
It’s running out, the time is running out
Oh, live like it’s the style
Whoa, waltz on your front porch
We are all our own devil
We are all our own devil
And we make this world our hell
We are all our own devil
We are all our own devil
And we make this world
We make this world our hell
Time keeps on ticking away
It’s always running away
Always running from time
Time keeps on ticking away
Always running away
We’re always running in time
Time keeps on ticking away
Always running away
We’re always running from time
Time keeps on ticking away
Always running away
We’re always running in time
Time keeps on ticking away
Always running away
Always running from time
Time keeps on ticking away
Always running away
We’re always running from time
Time keeps on ticking away
Always running away
We’re always running in time
Time keeps on ticking away
It’s always running away
We are all our own devil
We are all our own devil
And we make this world our hell
We are all our own devil
We are all our own devil
And we make this world
We make this world our hell
Oh,
We make it our hell
A devilishly clever song named for one of my favorite playwrights.
5. “Don’t Stop Me Now” – Queen, Shaun of the Dead OST
Lyrics:
Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive and the world it's turning inside out Yeah!
I'm floating around in ecstasy
So don't stop me now don't stop me
'Cause I'm having a good time having a good time
I'm a shooting star leaping through the skies
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity
I'm a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva
I'm gonna go go go
There's no stopping me
I'm burning through the skies Yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man of you
Don't stop me now I'm having such a good time
I'm having a ball don't stop me now
If you wanna have a good time just give me a call
Don't stop me now ('Cause I'm having a good time)
Don't stop me now (Yes I'm having a good time)
I don't want to stop at all
I'm a rocket ship on my way to Mars
On a collision course
I am a satellite I'm out of control
I am a sex machine ready to reload
Like an atom bomb about to
Oh oh oh oh oh explode
I'm burning through the skies Yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic woman out of you
Don't stop me don't stop me don't stop me
Hey hey hey!

Ooh ooh ooh (I like it)
Don't stop me have a good time good time
Don't stop me don't stop me

Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic woman of you
Don't stop me now I'm having such a good time
I'm having a ball don't stop me now
If you wanna have a good time
Just give me a call
Don't stop me now ('Cause I'm having a good time)

So damn catchy! And from the synchronized zombie-swatting scene!
6. “Baby Fratelli” – The Fratellis, Hot Fuzz OST
Lyrics:
She said oh my, I don't know why
I was just busy watching everyone go by
Outside the shite bar, and you're a red car
Me and your girlfriend and your sister with the big scar
I said oh Christ, I told you twice
It's just not easy going through all these things thrice
What's this I wonder, you drive a bluebird
You got no money for the petrol, that's what I heard
And it's all right, she'll be sucking fingers all night
Wearing those shoes, oh any excuse to go to the gang fight
And oh she's alright, everybody says she's uptight
Sick in the head, first in the bed
So easy to be Friday's nightmare
I said oh no, oh please just go
You got no eyelids and sweet ella loves me so
She got my number, though I can't stand her
I can't help diggin her a hope I guess I wonder
And oh it's clear, you want me dear
It would be easier if I was never here
You got the money, and I got the reason,
I'll stick around with you for just another season
And it's alright, she'll be sucking fingers all night
Wearing those shoes, oh any excuse to go to the gang fight
And oh she's alright, everybody says she's uptight
Sick in the head, first in the bed
So easy to be Friday's nightmare
She's just getting along,
So don't tell me she's yours
Oh please tell me I'm wrong again
It's all in a daze/day,
So what can you say
Just; sleep in yer shoes
With the winterbox blues
Any time you choose, Oh yeah
She said oh my, I don't know why
I was just busy watching everyone go by
Outside the shite bar, and you're a red car
Me and your girlfriend and your sister with the big scar
She said oh Christ, I told you twice
It's just not easy going through all these things thrice
What's this I wonder, you drive a bluebird
You got no money for the petrol, that's what I heard
And it's alright, she'll be sucking fingers all night
Wearing those shoes, oh any excuse to go to the gang fight
And oh she's alright, everybody says she's uptight
Sick in the head, first in the bed
So easy to be Friday's wonder
Okay, this song is made of the awesome. And, the actual ‘offical’ video for it IS Hot Fuzz themed – my new favourite song, and my favourite movie! Gotta love that!
