"Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth

You pull on your finger, then another finger, then your cigarette

The wall-to-wall is calling, it lingers, then you forget

Ohhh how how how, youre a rock n roll suicide"

As always when I hear it: My Foolish Heart off of Waltz For Debby. I think that it's absolutely gorgeous. :wub:

It's rare that I get a jazz tune stuck in my head, though it does happen.

It usually seems to be either of these three:

Albert Ayler "Ghosts"

Steve Lacy "La Motte Piquet"

Kenneth Terroade "Love Rejoice" (a/k/a "Friendship Next of Kin")

"Ghosts"--I'll always be with Cherry on the national anthem thing--it's one of the catchiest damn tunes in the canon.

Right now--"MRA" (the Pukwana tune), as well as "Eye of the Tiger" (from Rocky III). For different reasons.

The cab driver who drove me home earlier was playing a CD of Dolly Parton. I now can't get 'Coat of Many Colors' out of my head.

I should have walked. :rfr

Albert Ayler "Ghosts"

The whole thing, or just the theme?

And if it's the whole thing, which variation?

And do you hear it in mono, or stereo. The latter would be quite impressive.

Anyone remember that show from the late-70's/early-80's on ABC called "Out of the Blue?" You don't? That's probably a good thing. I've had that theme song stuck in my head all morning, despite not having heard it in over 25 years!

"Yes, i'm turnin' to stone 'cos you ain't comin' home.

Why you ain't comin' home if i'm turnin' to stone?

You've been gone for so long and i can't carry on,

Yes, i'm turnin', i'm turnin', i'm turnin' to stone."

kind of a medley of that song and this one...

"Mr. blue sky, please tell us why,

You had to hide away

For so long (so long) where did we go wrong...."

All this because somebody said the phrase "Out of the Blue" here at work...

Ralph Burns' intro to "Almost Like Being in Love" from Ben Webster with Strings. (Except there are no "strings" on that track.) The intro doesn't seem to fit the song itself, but I like it. Hmmm ... maybe Burns didn't write it. Will have to check. :mellow: Anywaaaay ...

Isn't it Strayhorn on that track?

Put another nickel in, in the nickelodeon

All I want is having you and music, music, music!

I'd do anything for you, anything you'd want me to

All I want is kissing you and music, music, music!

Closer, my dear come closer

The nicest part of any melody

Is when you're dancing close to me

Put another nickel in, in the nickelodeon

All I want is loving you and music, music, music!
