This is Your Brain On Shuffle, Pt. 2

The feature formally known as "Songs I've Found Myself Singing"

Without an iPod, the music is all in your head. Some songs, you bring to mind intentionally. But sometimes... Your subconcious takes control. These are songs that I have found myself singing aloud or in my head, without the faintest idea why.

Jens Lekman - Pocketful of Money (quickly amended to "Pocketful of Shekels")
Foo Fighters - Learn to Fly (I really don't like this song)
Soul Asylum - Runaway Train (Never comin' back...)
Francis Scott Key and John Stafford Smith - Star Spangled Banner
Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five - The Message (Don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge...)
Spoon - Stay Don't Go
Lykke Li - Tonight
Blondie - One Way Or Another
Phish - The Wolfman's Brother (for some reason I was singing it as "Wolfman's Daughter")
Of Montreal - The Past is a Grotesque Animal
Bright Eyes - Everything Must Belong Somewhere
Wicked - Popular (quickly amended to "Secular"--worked out alright)

Songs I've Found Myself Singing, Part One

I'm traveling without an iPod, which is making me sing alot of songs to myself to get my music fix. Some I intentionally pull from the iTunes in my brain, others pop in quite mysteriously. This is a list of songs I have found myself singing without consciously pulling them forth. Most I think can be pretty obviously attributed to a particular mood or something I was thinking about. Except "All That She Wants."

Ace of Base - All That She Wants
The Zither theme from "The Third Man"
Devendra Banhart - Shabop Shalom Baby
Fiery Furnaces - Sing For Me
The Incredible Hulk TV Show Theme
Willie Nelson - On the Road Again
Queen - Don't Stop Me Now
Moulin Rouge Love Song Medley
The Flying Lizards - Money (That's What I Want)
