And can't get it out?? Here are some suggestions for songs that will drive that sucka' right outta your head!
Mick Jagger's "I can't get no! (SATis - FACTIOn!!)"
His "Sympathy for the Devil"
Ziggy Stardust "Major Tom" - or for that matter, ANYthing by Ziggy Stardust
Anything by KISS, EMINEM, I could go on and on...
I started this thread because I had a song stuck in my head that just wouldn't come out. It wasn't a KH song, though... Oh, no....
This was a Sea Shanty!! If anyone here has ever heard of "Moby Dick", you've got to see the 1952 version directed by John Huston and starring Gregory Peck and Richard Basehart - among others, like Orson Welles and - absolutely the BEST film version of this book EVER!
And an accurate, grittily realistic depiction of what life before the mast was REALLY like - none of this 'flying through the rigging like a bad Tarzan movie' trash - and you know which movies I'm talking about...
No. This movie was filmed on the open ocean (in many shots) and includes [Disclaimer here for the squeamish!!] scenes of actual whale-killing by the whalers of Malta. Powerful imagery runs throughout the movie - true, there are a few scenes which would have been improved if done by "Hollywood Light and Magic" but the movie runs strongly as a cohesive dynamic story - dynamite!!
Anyway, I can't get "I'll Go No More A-Rovin'" out of my head...
"In Amsterdam there lived a maid,
Mark well what I do say,
In Amsterdam there lived a maid...
Aaaaand...,
She was mistress of her trade! - I'll go no more a ro -oovin' with you, fair maid!
(chorus)
A-rovin', a-ro -oovin',
Since ro-vin's been my ru -i - in,
I'll go no more a ro - O -vin'!
With you, faire maid!
Her cheeks were red, her eyes were brown,
Mark well what I do say,
Her cheeks were red her eyes were brown her curly hair was hangin' down
I'll go no more a ro - o - vin'! With you, faire maid!
(chorus)
I took that faire maid for a walk,
Mark well what I do say,
I took that faire maid for a walk,
Aaaaand!
We had such a loving talk! I'll go no more a ro -O -vin'! with you, faire maid!
(chorus)
I put my hand upon her knee,
Mark well what I do say,
I put my hand upon her knee,
She said, "Young man, you're rather freee...."
I'll go no more a ro -O -vin'! with you, faire maid!
(chorus)
I put my arm around her waist,
Mark well what I do say,
I put my arm around her waist,
She said, "Young man, you're in great haste....!"
I'll go no more a ro -O -vin'! with you, faire maid!
(chorus) and either repeat chorus and fade out or add your own verses!!
Best sung with a tankard of rum, chipped beef, and dry ship's biscuits in front of you....
