What song is going through your head right now? - Page 2

Awaiting_the_fifth · 10-05-2005, 12:02 PM

I've had a really strange song stuck in my head for a few days now, an old Yorkshire folk song that I used to sing as a little kid. It's called "On Ilkley Moor bar t'at" (For anyone who doesnt speak Yorkshire that means on ilkley moor without a hat.)

Anyone else heard this? Brian, you're a Yorkshireman aren't you? Do you know this one?

Where hast thee been since I saw thee,
On Ilkley Moor bar t'at,
Where hast thee been since I saw thee,
Where hast thee been since I saw thee,
On Ilkley Moor bar t'at
On Ilkley Moor bar t'at
On Ilkley Moor bar t'at.

Thou's gone and caught thy death of cold,
On Ilkley Moor bar t'at
Thou's gone and caught thy death of cold,
Thou's gone and caught thy death of cold,
On Ilkley Moor bar t'at
On Ilkley Moor bar t'at
On Ilkley Moor bar t'at.

Then we shall have to bury thee,
On Ilkley Moor bar t'at
Then we shall have to bury thee,
Then we shall have to bury thee,
On Ilkley Moor bar t'at
On Ilkley Moor bar t'at
On Ilkley Moor bar t'at.

Then Worms shall come and eat thee up,
On Ilkley Moor bar t'at
Then Worms shall come and eat thee up,
Then Worms shall come and eat thee up,
On Ilkley Moor bar t'at
On Ilkley Moor bar t'at
On Ilkley Moor bar t'at.

Then Birds will come and eat up worms,
On Ilkley Moor bar t'at
Then Birds will come and eat up worms,
Then Birds will come and eat up worms,
On Ilkley Moor bar t'at
On Ilkley Moor bar t'at
On Ilkley Moor bar t'at.

Then we shall come and eat up birds,
On Ilkley Moor bar t'at
Then we shall come and eat up birds,
Then we shall come and eat up birds,
On Ilkley Moor bar t'at
On Ilkley Moor bar t'at
On Ilkley Moor bar t'at.

Then we shall all have eaten thee,
On Ilkley Moor bar t'at
Then we shall all have eaten thee,
Then we shall all have eaten thee,
On Ilkley Moor bar t'at
On Ilkley Moor bar t'at
On Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiilkleeeeeeeeeeeeey Moooooooooooooor baaaaaaaaaaaaar t'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat.

All the things she said (all the things she said)
Running through my head (running through my head)
All the things she said..

This is not enough....

I forgot the title but it's from T.A.T.U.

Scarlet Pimpernel · 10-10-2005, 11:28 AM

Hmm, oddly enough, the title is "All the Things She Said".

And now I've got it, too.

"Take a straight and stronger course to the corner of your life.
Make the white queen run so fast she hasn't got time to make you a wife.

'Cause it's time, it's time in time with your time and its news is captured
For the queen to use.
Move me on to any black square,
Use me any time you want,
Just remember that the goal
Is for us all to capture all we want
(Move me on to any black square)
Yea, yea, yea.

Don't surround yourself with yourself,
Move on back two squares,
Send an Instant Karma to me,
Initial it with loving care
Don't surround
Yourself.

'Cause it's time, it's time in time with your time and its news is captured
For the queen to use..."

Yes, The Album

Wishmaster by Nightwish which is operatic metal.

Master!
Apprentice!
Heartborne, 7th Seeker
Warrior!
Disciple!
In me the Wishmaster

Elbereth
Lorien

A dreamy-eyed child staring into night
On a journey to storyteller`s mind
Whispers a wish speaks with the stars the words are silent in
him
Distant sigh from a lonely heart
"I`ll be with you soon, my Shalafi"
Grey Havens my destiny

Master!...

Silvara
Starbreeze

Sla-Mori the one known only by Him
To august realms, the sorcery within
If you hear the call of arcane lore,
Your world shall rest on Earth no more
A maiden elf calling with her cunning song
"Meet me at the Inn of Last Home"
Heartborne will find the way!

Master!...

Wishmaster
Crusade for Your will
A child, dreamfinder
The Apprentice becoming...

Master!...

And also hamakom by yofiyah, which is kabbalistic kirtan. I like these weird fusions. And then they get stuck in my head.

one, now that i've read the OP

is "Amish Paradise" a take off by Weird Al Yankovic

Actually, Gangsta Paradise is itself a take off of Stevie Wonder's Pastime Paradise:

Quote:

They've been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise
They've been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise
They've been wasting most their time
Glorifying days long gone behind
They've been wasting most their days
In remembrance of ignorance oldest praise

Tell me who of them will come to be
How many of them are you and me
Dissipation
Race Relations
Consolation
Segregation
Dispensation
Isolation
Exploitation
Mutilation
Mutations
Miscreation
Confirmation...to the evils of the world

They've been spending most their lives
Living in a future paradise
They've been spending most their lives
Living in a future paradise
They've been looking in their minds
For the day that sorrows gone from time
They keep telling of the day
When the Savior of love will come to stay

Tell me who of them will come to be
How many of them are you and me
Proclamation
of Race Relations
Consolation
Integretion
Verification
of Revelations
Acclamation
World Salvation
Vibrations
Stimulation
Confirmation...to the peace of the world

They've been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise
They've been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise
They've been spending most their lives
Living in a future paradise
They've been spending most their lives
Living in a future paradise
We've been spending too much of our lives
Living in a pastime paradise

Let's start living our lives
Living for the future paradise
Praise to our lives
Living for the future paradise
Shame to anyones lives
Living in the pastime paradise

Of course, if I want a Stevie Wonder tune running through my head, I'd rather it be Master Blaster.

Today Im stuck with Jefferson Airplane. Could be worse,

One pill makes you larger
and one pill makes you small
And the ones that Mother gives you
don't do anything at all.

Go ask Alice when she's ten feet tall.

And if you go chasing rabbits,
and you know you're going to fall,
Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar has given you the call.

Call Alice when she was just small.

When the men on the chess board get up and tell you where to go,
And you've just had some kind of mushroom, and your mind is moving low,
Go ask Alice. I think she'll know.
When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead,
And the white knight is talking backward, and the red queen's off with her head,
Remember what the doormouse said: "Feed your head! Feed your head!"
