The Cranial Remix
Does anyone else find that, after having had a song stuck in your head for a couple of weeks (it can be a good song or a terrible song - there's no accounting for your brain's taste), that you start remixing it/adding notes, instruments and singers that weren't there before?
I only ask, as I'm being driven mad by repeated listens to Kanye West's 'Gold Digger' sung by The Worzels (of 'Brand New Combine Harvester' fame). It works pretty well until they reach the 'N' word, at which point the possibilty of calling them up and suggesting they do a cover of it all seems a bit wrong.
The last time I had such an appalling cranial remix stuck in my head was when Holly Valance's 'Kiss' came out. Instead of hearing the (mwah) (mwah) noises, i'd hear the comedy sound of a trombone sliding down then up (like you'd expect to hear in a slapstick film). Thus:
"Cause tonight im gonna give you my
BBBBBRRRRRRrrrrrooooowwwwwWWWWWWAAAAHHHHH
Kiss!"
Anyone else have any cranial remixes they'd like to recommend?

never heard of such a thing. marvellous though!
I've just read your post via GPRS download onto my palmtop while waiting for my anorak at the While-U-Wait drycleaners. I feel that I must point out that the Wurzels' song is actually called 'Combine Harvester (Brand New Key)' and is technically a cover version of Melanie's classic song about roller skates. Though with different lyrics of course. Actually I was thinking about the Wurzels' lyrics only the other day and it struck my that the opening line 'I drove my tractor through your haystack last night' could be taken as being EXCEEDINGLY smutty! Ah, must dash, my anorak's ready and I've got a load of beige Y-fronts (with yellow piping) to pick up from the laundrette.
