Stuck in my head, stuck in my head, stuck in my head
Stuck in my head, stuck in my head, stuck in my head
Something you said, something you said, something you said
Stuck in my head, stuck in my head, stuck in my head
It's a mess in my bedroom, mess in my car
Mess in my head, mess in my heart
It's a mess in my bedroom, mess in my car
Mess in my head, mess in my heart
Stuck in my head, stuck in my head, stuck in my head
Stuck in my head, stuck in my head, stuck in my head
Was it something I said, something I said, something I said?
Something I said, something I said, something I said
One day, I'll find the perfect girl
And I'll give her a name
And I'll make her my world
And I'll put her up on a pedestal
Fill our bad apartment with flower petals
And all the songs that are trapped inside me
Just shall release and I'll never be lonely again
Never be lonely again
Fuck with my head, fuck with my head, fuck with my head
Fuck with my head, fuck with my head, fuck with my head
I sleep on the floor to be close to God
And I burn my idols, I quit my job
All the feelings that I can't express
Always something dying inside my chest
And if you leave, then I'll start again
I could shave my head, turn my daughters against me
Erase my name, cut my credit card
Body's in the gutter, heart is in the stars
Stuck in my head, stuck in my head, stuck in my head
Stuck in my head, stuck in my head, stuck in my head
It's a mess in my bedroom, mess in my car
Mess in my head, mess in my heart
It's a mess in my bedroom, mess in my car
Mess in my head, mess in my heart
It's a mess in my bedroom, mess in my car
Mess in my head, mess in my heart
It's a mess in my bedroom, mess in my car
Mess in my head, mess in my heart
Stuck in my head, stuck in my head, stuck in my head
Stuck in my head, stuck in my head, stuck in my head
Stuck in my head, stuck in my head, stuck in my head
Stuck in my head, stuck in my head, stuck in my head
Stuck in my head, stuck in my head, stuck in my head
Stuck in my head, stuck in my head, stuck in my head
Stuck in my head, stuck in my head, stuck in my head

Interesting......I am 77.....I get it...And I am Canadian guy......Its life at times.
Love a lot of songs from AF but this is not one of them
Long intro to too long of a song.
I iked reading the lyrics so it ended in about 2 minutes. That said, for something that's 8 minutes long, that makes it art, and I can appreciate that. But that doesn't mean I want to listen to it for 8 minutes, or have to hear the song again.

I'm going to be contrarian here and say I love this song. As someone who struggles with bipolar/ADHD the song really resonates with me. Some things you express come out banally simple. Not all ideas come out as high art.
It is rare when a song is so f'ing bad it forces me out of bed to change the music to the next song. I hope to never hear this song ever again.

This is such a bummer! This song is so terrible it forced me to get out of bed so I could log into my Mac and then here so I could go to the next song. I honestly do not understand why this junk was recorded? Worse yet, I certainly do not understand why this would be played on RP! Now I got to try to get back to sleep. But this song was bad enough to force me out of my bed, dammit! Bad choice, Bill.
8:29min....
To be followed by ELO: Can't Get It Out Of My Head.
One real positive about this song, it makes Friday by Rebecca Black sound like pure genius.
But in all honesty I can think of one place this song can be stuck....

Weirdish Joy Division feel here.
Gosh, all the haters! I think it’s really interesting. It’s midlife angst. We’ve heard enough about how hard it is to be a teenager over the years. Teens got nothing on the angst, regret, pride, helplessness, self loathing, and joy that comes along with parenthood. More songs about that please.
I normally like this band, but this song is terrible... 

This blows. Too much pointless cussing.

This one is growing on me.
clean up your head, clean up your car!
I usually dig these guys but this isn't hitting for me like their old stuff. I still appreciate hearing it tho.
Good tune. I’m liking quite a bit of the stuff off their new album.
Boringggg
This is a solid No. 1 for sure!
Language! Bill!
Damn, this is getting stuck in my head now.


They were on Saturday Night Live last weekend (5/10/25). They've been around a while, but act like they're just starting out, kind of mix of weirdness and randomness. Sort of indifferent about their sound.
I’ve always found these guys, for me at least, to be a little hit and miss. This just came on first thing upon jumping out of the shower and seems to gel perfectly with the start of my day. Thanks RP and AF
Bleh.
