What Annoying Song is Stuck in My Head Today?

If I need to suffer with a song stuck in my head, why shouldn't you have to do the same? Sometimes they're good, most times they're bad... but no matter what, they make you suffer. So I like to share the suffering whenever it happens.

I caught "Remember the Titans" on TBS last week. This movie is one of those where the entire friggin' soundtrack gets caught in your head (another good example is "The Wedding Singer"). Luckily, I somehow managed to purge the Temptations and "Ain't No Mountain High Enough", but that was only because another song got stuck in my head.

I'm actually a big fan of this song, because I'm a big fan of James Taylor. Besides, he played it on an episode of the Simpsons (with a hysterical change to the lyrics in mid-song). But still, it's as annoyingly downbeat as the aforementioned Temptations song is annoyingly upbeat.

Here's Fire and Rain...

Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Suzanne, the plans they made made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to

I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

Won't you look down upon me Jesus
You got to help me make a stand
You just got to see me through another day
My body's achin' and my time is at hand
And I won't make it any other way

Oh I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

Been walkin' my mind to an easy time
My back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows
It'll turn your head around
Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line
To talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground

Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you, baby, one more time again
You're welcome.
