Your 'can't sleep' songs.

[Squilookle]

Have you ever stumbled across a song (NOT an album) that blew you away so much that you ended up listening to it looped until 4am? A song so good that even though you know you should go to bed, you just have to listen to it One. More. Time... and you're still listening 17 plays later?

It's happened a few times to me, and it happened again just this week. I've got a major weakness for songs that throw a new spin on existing songs that I already know and love, and this one was... well, just see for yourself:


It hasn't happened all that much in the past, but some notable ones were a remix of a totally forgotten song from my childhood- "The Best Thing":


And the AMAZING redone version of "On her Majesty's Secret Service", incorporating a redone section from You Only Live Twice as well:

Now that I've shared some of mine, what are some of your "Can't Sleep" songs?

[Klitch]

Hey, don't judge.

 

[TriggerHappyAngel]

I've had several awesome songs like that in the past, my latest addiction is:

 

[wooty]

Mostly this lot

The internet meme perfected

A song that should have more views than it does

Never even seen the show, but the song kicks arse!

 

[Catchy Slogan]

Pink Floyd.

 

[darth.pixie]

I've heard it a long time ago and it's still one of my favorites. It doesn't help that I am a huge Alice Cooper fan. Everytime I remember it, I loop it until someone screams at me to change it.

 

[Drauden]

The music of Minecraft always touch my calm-buttons.

 

[eastinfecter]

Spoiler: cant..stop...watching

Hey, it goes with everything.

[SimuLord]

Three leap immediately to mind from the past few days. A couple of these are old favorites, one is a newly-discovered remix of one of my favorite video game themes.

 

[Shade184]

I think this remix can only be classed as "epic rock". Soaring riffs, screaming guitars, and of course a catchy melody - do your ears a favour and have a listen.

Yes, this is the one that was on Extra Credits and absolutely rocked the ending.

The music of Minecraft always touch my calm-buttons.

It's beautiful stuff.

Genesis - Firth of Fifth (Gabriel era, mindblowing guitarwork from Steve Hackett)

Genesis - The Musical Box (also fantastic, Genesis with Peter Gabriel in general is fantastic)

[Ciartan]

This. This + Ants of the sky (next song in album) = best 24 minutes ever.

This link has possibly the most addictive sound loop I've ever heard. It just loops perfectly and you'll end up listening to it for DAYS. I did.

 

[CliveMurdoc626]

Pretty much any Judas Priest song on any album before Screaming for Vengeance. It changes depending on my interest, right now I'm stuck on Rocka Rolla and Diamonds and Rust.
