Years ago, when I worked in Kent, there was an alt-rock station I used to listen to on my drive to work. They wound up doing a format flip to rap. On the final day of their alt-rock format, they played this song (for 24 hours straight)that was oddly appropriate.
Micah 6:8; He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
John 14:19 Jesus said: Because I live, you also will live.
I would never willingly choose a 24 hr earworm, no matter what the tune/piece.
As it is, the music in my head never never stops. Never. It's been like that for me ever since I was a kid. Music is on an endless feed from the moment I get out of bed until the moment I fall asleep.
An endless feed of orchestral passages, Gregorian chant, Salsa, Conjunto, marimba music from East Africa/Madagascar. Sly & the Family Stone, James Brown, Steely Dan... anything and everything I have absorbed in a lifetime of exposure. Right now, I'm hearing 'Rikki Don't Lose That Number' after hearing Horace Silver's 'Song For My Father.'
At least 3-4 times per week, an earworm will infest- and last for at least a day. Today, I woke up to the opening theme of 'Late Night w/ Stephen Colbert.' It stuck with me until mid-afternoon. By the end, I was improvising my own sax solos over the changes.
This non-stop background soundtrack keeps me on the very edge of sanity. I've learned to concentrate on tasks, hold up my own end of conversations, do math in my head, etc with this always in the background. If you have ever seen any Star Trek shows, it's like that constant low-level drone of the engines under everything that happens.
The only time my mind is not spontaneously creating/recreating music is when I'm actually playing- and then, I live with a continuous running internal monologue: "damn, that f was flat... careful, now- subdivide this bar, or you'll mis-time the bar... what tf is she doing? oh, that was sweet- nice solo, G..."
I'll never willingly choose any tune because 48 uninterrupted hours of it would ruin it for me- for life.
This has been exhausting. Decades of it. Never a moment's total silence.
I guess I'll get all the quiet I can handle once this dance come to an end.
I think I'm that way with prayer, and words, but not music.
Sometimes I could spend hours contemplating how a single word can mean so many things, but this is all in my mind, not on the outside, where the world demands you interact with it. Anyone else ever have this happen to them.
nevermind.
You Know! Just because some people are so Dense! that they are stuck in the outside conscious world! And have type A (spit) similing personalities!
Doesn't make it right when they force you to interact with them and call you rude if you don't respond fast enough "Hop to" "seig heil" the freakin cool person said "greeting" to you, you better answer in turn, fast enough! on demand! no matter what you may be busy with!
Cool people are the worst, dude. the subconscious is way more interesting.
( all my songs are inappropriate)
( I'd like to get "baby shark" stuck in Clems' head just to mess with him.)
If you bad to listen to 1 song on a continuous loop for 24 hours what would your song be? Right now there is 1 that would for sure be mine:
I can't see your choice, it's just a white box as this device never loads youtube or whatever.
I think the song would be Hark the Herald Angels sing. At least it has extra verses, and even foregin languages probably so that could add to the variety.
Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.
GC. Most likely to drive someone insane if they had to listen to it 24 hours straight on a loop?
(See that mcdonald's commercial just played, " Ba duh buh buh baa" even without the "I'm lovin it" that used to accompany it.
24 hours of "Ba duh buh buh baah" on a loop, would drive someone insane.
There ought to be an endurance competition for how long someone could willingly listen to that. Prize for winning? A kick to the groin, it'd be welcomed at that point.
edit: That is right around 3 seconds, so 28,800 loops in 24 hours. "ba duh buh buh baah"
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."
I’d choose this version of the Grateful Dead song, Dark Star, from their performance at the Cleveland Public Hall, Cleveland, OH on 12/6/73. On this night they turned it into a one hour and six minute jam. I’d not even have to hear it a full 24 times, but even if I did they worked it through so many different movements that it’d not get overly boring. It’d be similar to having jazz playing in the background.
Back in my drinking days when I was in the Navy and stationed overseas, I was particularly hungover one Monday and overslept like crazy. On his way out the door to work, my roommate put that CD in and played it on a loop and for the next hour as I struggled to get out of bed, I heard it over and over again..... so, it would be already familiar territory for me, which is why I chose it.
Browns is the Browns
... there goes Joe Thomas, the best there ever was in this game.
I never get tired of this song. It is in my head many times a day. In the mornings when I shower, I slap out the drum bridge on my gut. It sounds really cool in the shower! My wife always comments. Between the slapping, humming, and water running, I can't make out what she is saying, but no doubt she is pleased.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.
I have owned the vinyl of Horace Silver album "Song to My Father" since it came out. Also "Cape Verdean Blues" by Horace.
Love the rhythms of those photograph albums. Know all about the law suit against "Rikki Don't Lose that Number." Clearly came from Horace.
When I read the title my response was similar to yours.
I could listen to the album "Kind of Blue" and have for extended periods. In my mind the single greatest album.
I do get on kicks of people like Keb Mo, Ry Cooder, The Dead, and others where I will binge for days.
I will listen to someone and just can't turn them off.
Amy Winehouse, Billie Holiday where they just take over.
But a 24 loop no thanks.
I remember when "Can't Get No Satisfaction" came out back in radio days. And it seemed like whatever station you went to that song was on. To this day I can't listen to that record. And I love the The Stones.

That will never happen, my friend. I had one experience with this- "Song." I stuffed a rag down its throat within the first 15 seconds... and I never looked back.
Like I said before: "I live on the edge of sanity" already.
24-7 loop... ??? ... Well it would have to be Beck 'Loser'... NO NO NO!... It would have to be "The Macarena"... LMAO jk of course... I personally listen to crickets every day on a 24-7 loop due to tinnitus, so any white noise will work. And I can't think of any song I would want to hear that much.
Your feelings and opinions do not add up to facts.
Much like yourself, music is something that always runs though my head. It certainly isn't as diverse as your repertoire but still it covers several genres and decades from the 1950's until now. Some even go back as far as Robert Johnson.
Much like yourself, selecting one would feel like I committed multiple homicide to thousands more.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.
Probably Mahlers 2nd or another long orchestra piece.
There will be no playoffs. Can’t play with who we have out there and compounding it with garbage playcalling and worse execution. We don’t have good skill players on offense period. Browns 20 - Bears 17.
