So, I don't about you folks, but I seem to have random songs pop into my head while I'm in the saddle, for no apparent reason. Even worse, they seem to loop!
So, on today's ride, I heard the following:
Lindsey Buckingham's 1981 hit: Trouble
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCRNDQNjCK4
And, Randy Newman's 1983 classic: I love LA

What did the voices in your head play today?

this is true.
for me, more often than not, it is something from The Beastie Boys.

Today I couldn't shake Mother from The Wall for 50 miles.

Funny. I'm always listening to music in my head too. Sometimes it gets realy really obnoxious because it loops over for days. At yesterdays race I had, "Take Me to the Specialist," by the Dead Milkmen in my head all day.
Musicophilia by Oliver Sacks is a very interesting read on this subject.

With the recent completion of the World Cup, followed by a bunch of guys riding their bikes across France, I can't seem to get this song out of my head:

My top three songs include
Linkin Park - Numb
Lady Gaga - Just Dance
Tommy James and the Shondells - Crimson and Clover
Otherwise I imitate BT and create my own scores.

Muse, Map of the Problematique (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rh3aZcc15ts). If there was ever a song for time trialing, this is it.

I'm stuck in the past, usually singing something like Lifetime in my head:

I keep getting that stupid "Double Rainbow" autotune remix song in my head. When riding, while at work, when I wake up in the morning... Ugh.

Strangely, for most of this past week the tune that's been going through my head while riding is Chuck Mangione's "Children Of Sanchez"
The reason that's particularly strange is that I know for a fact the last time I heard Chuck Mangione's "Children Of Sanchez" was in 1978 or '79, when I went over to Ricky Trager's house, we got really stoned, and then we threw lawn darts at each other's heads.
