If I Ever Lose My Faith in You

11/23/2020 Out of left field, here comes one from Sting. Enjoy!

I Saw a Dragon

11/16/2020 This will be the second time that a song from Pete's Dragon has been featured here on thesongsstuckinmyhead.blogspot.com I'll just leave it at this....

San Francisco

11/9/2020 Playing catch up. Today's song is a delightful little ditty called "San Francisco" from a delightful little band called Foxygen. It's from their 2013 album WE ARE THE 21ST CENTURY AMBASSADORS OF PEACE AND MAGIC I really like this song and I hope you do too!

Firstborn Son

11/2/2020 Today's song comes from a talented singer-songwriter named Andrew Osenga. My buddy, Aaron introduced his 2012 album, LEONARD THE LONELY ASTRONAUT a few years back and it's been in my rotation ever since. The album is a theme record, related to a man floating in space alone. From what I understand, he recorded much of the album alone in a sound studio built to look like an empty spaceship. It does have a lonely, longing feeling, the entire record. It's a great listen. Today's song is titled Firstborn Son, which has the theme of religious meaning and maybe pressure put upon children. Listen and decide for yourself. A pretty obscure song, from an underappreciated artist: and here's a video of Mr Osenga explaining the concept of this record: I hope you liked the song stuck in my head today. hugs

I Say a Little Prayer

10/25/2020 "The Moment I Wake Up" is how this classic song starts. So natually it would find its way into my head in the morning. "I Say a Little Prayer" was initially written by Burt Bacharach for Dionne Warwick, but made famous by Aretha Franklin. Enjoy the song stuck in my head:

I Wanna Be a Dog

10/19/2020 I'm playing catchup again and I have more children's music in my head. This one is from beloved (by my family from childhood) Peter Alsop. The fun part of this song was when my son and I were driving around with our dog while listening to this song. In the middle, Peter Alsop and the kids start howling like dogs. My dog howled right along with them! We had a good laugh over it. Here's what my dog looks like.
Here's the song for you, listen with your kids- They'll love it.

D & W

10/12/2020 I've been revisiting They Might Be Giants' kids music with my son recently, so naturally this song by TMBG would play in my head, right? This is "D & W" a song which not only anthropormorphises alphabet letters, but gives them complex emotions and depth. I really love the bizarre things TMBG does! Enjoy
