Whilst cycling into a headwind on Saturday I found myself muttering the words to NAS - Suicide Bounce over and over again for about 30 minutes. No idea why but it did help.

Ca' the Yowes is my current earworm/song of choice on the bike. Very appropriate when actually cycling near the Cluden. I tend to keep my mouth shut when anyone might hear me though

A friend of mine sings "Breaking the law, breaking the law" (Judas Priest) as he slips through the lights before they turn green (once all peds are safely out of the way).

Once or twice I've caught myself whistling while stopped at traffic lights. Recently it's been excerpts of bassoon and krumhorn melodies from Red Queen to Gryphon Three.

"White Foxes" or "The Silicone Veil" (Susanne Sundfør).
On the way back from a brain scan last month, the most suitable was "IRM" (Charlotte Gainsbourg).

I often sing, but not always at the lights, usually it's about some bad driving I've seen:
So I'll sing, "Cos he's a red light juuumper" to the tune of Guantanamera:
.
The bonus is, when drivers see you, they think you're absolutely nuts - which is entirely the intended reaction.Posted 8 years ago #
