Random not-important question

[cupcake_goth]

Do any of the rest of you become ... obsessed, for lack of a better word, with a song and must listen to it over and over and over? I'm sure you do, but suddenly needed to ask.

Thank goodness for the Repeat setting on the iPod. Right now, it's "Plasticine" by Placebo. About 20 minutes ago, it was "Song for Levi" by, why yes, Placebo.

(djeternaldarkne, I'll get to the post w/ your questions later tonight. Work is busy.)

I've been listening to the Wonderfalls theme on repeat for three days. With periodic bursts of other songs on repeat for a refreshing change.

So, err, that would be a yes.

This was in 1993, mind you, but three of us drove to Ellensburg to visit the CWU campus for a tour, and we listened to "Two Princes" by the Spin Doctors the ENTIRE way. And that kind of thing happens to me often, but I try to indulge it privately so as not to drive anyone to putting my CDs in the microwave...

Oh, I may have some new Placebo for you to hear (purple mark loaned it to me).

*screeeeeeeaaaaaam*

Huh? Wha? New?

Do tell.

I don't often do it with one song, but will with an entire album (I listened to the last Maxwell album for at least three months of commutes -- which is about two hours a day), or part thereof (POD makes me listen to the first five songs on Satellite a lot).

I have a similar condition in which i get a song stuck in my head for days, and will stay stuck in my head on repeat, until i play it.
This is a particularly distressing prospect when i realise that i don't *own* the music that will provide relief.
Thank goodness for Morpheus and Kazaa.
The most disturbing incident of this nature involved Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" for alomst 4 days. I was ready to stab myself in the head with a fork.

Oh, I'll get songs stuck in my head that won't away even if I play them.

Apparently, my musical tastes today are solely all Placebo, all the time. I theoretically have the iPod set on shuffle (through all the Placebo albums), but it will randomly pop up with a particular song and I realize that I must listen to it at least 7 or so times. I only just turned off the repeat function on "Nancy Boy".

It's a very good thing I have headphones. My office-mate would have gone crazy by now.

heh, *koff*

guilty guilt guilty. ;)

I do this a lot.

And my entire senior year of college I played "Doolittle", "Best of Duran Duran" and "Skylarking" EVERY SINGLE DAY that I worked in the coffee shop ... it's a wonder no one killed me.

The first time that happened to me was Linda Perry and Grace Slick with the song Knock Me Out. Since then it's happened frequently. The current song is Matchbox Twenty's Unwell. So, yeah, all the time.

If I had a nickel for every time that had happened to me I wouldn't need a job.

[ozitonaranjo.livejournal.com]

Yep. Thank the gods for headphones or I would probably drive others in my vicinity insane. It usually abates when I find another song to obsess, for lack of a better term, over.

[calligrafiti.livejournal.com]

Oh, goodness yes. I've been known to drive 20 miles out of my way because I had my favorite CD playing and I wanted to hear a song on it over and over and didn't want to have to stop the car, remove the CD, and run up two flights to play it in my boombox.

Most recent obsession, Sondheim's "Hymn to Dionysus," from The Frogs.
