Which song would you like to get stuck in?

[jchrisobrien]

I was just talking to scrabonia about how we'd fallen into that stereotype of the modern officer worker: grumbling about work, and longing for the weekend. With a dawning horror I realized we were living out the Loverboy song "Everybody's working for the weekend."

If I had to be stuck in a song scenario, the first one that flashed into my head was True Faith by New Order:
I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
I don't care 'cause I'm not there
And I don't care if I'm here tomorrow
Again and again I've taken too much
Of the things that cost you too much
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost , replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun...

There are many other fine examples, I'm sure. What song would you like to get stuck in?

lord stay by me
and don't go down
I'll never be free
if I'm not free now
lord stay by me
and don't go down
I never was free
what are you talking about
and no more shall we part
and no more shall we part

(though the song i usually _find_ myself stuck in is brother my cup is empty, with me playing all the roles)

my song.

the first thought that went through my head was "it's raining men, hallelujah" that's a song i wouldn't mind being stuck in.l

but i think about it more and i think i am living a song:

I don't want half hearted love affairs
I need someone who really cares.
Life is too short to play silly games
I've promised myself I won't do that again.

It's got to be perfect
It's got to be worth it
yeah.
Too many people take second best
But I won't take anything less
It's got to be
yeah
pertect.

Young hearts are foolish
they make such mistakes
They're much too eager to give their love away.
Well
I have been foolish too many times
Now I'm determined I'm gonna get it right.

It's got to be perfect
. . .

Young hearts are foolish
they make such mistakes
. . .
It's got to be perfect
. . .

It's got to be
yeah
worth it
it's got to be perfect.

(perfect by fairground attraction).

Cheesy but...

I'm on top of the world,
looking down on creation,
and the only explanation I can find,
is the love that I've found
ever since you've been around
you're what put me on top of the world.

Carpenters.

i'm so stuck in, and addicted to, this song...

NOVEMBER by azure ray
link to mp3 at bottom of page

so i'm waiting for this test to end
so these lighter days can soon begin
i'll be alone but maybe more carefree
like a kite that floats so effortlessly

i was afraid to be alone
but now i'm scared that's how i like to be
all these faces, none the same
how can there be so many personalities
so many lifeless, empty hands
so many hearts in great demand
and now my sorrow seems so far away
until i'm taken by these bolts of pain

but i turn them off and tuck them away
till these rainy days that make them stay
and then i'll cry so hard to these sad songs
and the words still ring, once here, now gone
and they echo through my head every day
and i don't think they'll ever go away
just like thinking of your childhood home
but we can't go back, we're on our own, oh

but i'm about to give this one more shot
and find it in myself
i'll find it in myself

so we're speeding towards that time of year
to the day that marks that you're not here
and i think i'll want to be alone
so please understand if i don't answer the phone
i'll just sit and stare at my deep blue walls
until i can see nothing at al
only particles, some fast, some slow
all my eyes can see is all i know, oh

but i'm about to give this one more shot
and find it in myself
i'll find it in myself
do do do...

Well duh, the best song to be in would be any Top 40 Rap song, I would personally prefer Nelly's "Hot in Herre":

was like, good gracious ass bodacious
Flirtatcious, tryin to show faces
Lookin for the right time to shoot my steam (you know)
Lookin for the right time to flash them G's
Then um I'm leavin, please believin
Me and the rest of my heathens
Check it, got it locked at the top of the four seasons
Penthouse, roof top, birds I feedin
No deceivin, nothin up my sleeve, no teasin
I need you to get up up on the dance floor
Give that man what he askin for
Cuz I feel like bustin loose and I feel like touchin you
And cant nobody stop the juice so baby tell me whats the use
Its gettin hot in here (so hot)
So take off all your clothes
I am gettin so hot, I wanna take my clothes off

New Order?

That's why they call me Campus Chris.

Oh wait. They don't call me that at all!

Have spent ages thinking about this one, but I can't really think of any song that really fits the bill. Shall ponder some more...
