There's a girl in the car in the parking lot, she says, "Man you should try and take a shot, can't you see my walls are crumbling down" She looks up at the building and says "Hey, I'm thinking of Jumping, I'm sick and tired of life" well everybody's tired or something, 'round here.. -Counting Crows. Thats the song that goes through my head whenever I get on airy leads. Course, I try to sketch my belay and say "I'mmm think of jumping!!" Oh the looks I get from ppl who haven't belayed me before.

Another one is when I'm Onsighting. I climb up and clip the first bolt and religiously say "I hope that was the crux ;)"

I find that "Climbing Up the Walls" by Radiohead gets my mind pretty focused. It's kind of a scary song, so to speak.

Pretty much whatever song was on the radio when we parked the car. Or, if someone says a word and it reminds me of a song, or if I hear just about anything that reminds me of a song. There's always some sort of music running through my head.

"Here comes reality. Oops there goes gravity!" - "Lose Yourself" by Eminem.

And after a body slam lead fall I return to the car, turn on the radio and hear Johnny Cash do a cover of "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails. How appropriate.

It ususally the last song I hear when I get out of the car. For some reason however I can never remember the whole song no matter what it is. So I always get one part stuck in my head.

Always something different. On my most recent epic (obviously I did survive) it was: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/clipserve/B000002LPP001003/0/002-0588271-7479234 [edit - clicking onto this link doesn't seem to work, so you have to copy and paste the URL into a new window to listen to the song] While you listen, imagine the sun has just set, the rain clouds are moving in, the protection is all lousy, you're still a full pitch from the topout, and the wind is whipping through your measly unprepared clothes. Isn't climbing fun!

I USUALLY don't have music in my head when I climb, although, lately the song "I'm bouncin' off the walls again" by SugarCult seems to pop in there every now and then.
What I USUALLY have in my head when I'm trying to block out everything else and get motivated (especially on the Crux moves).....the entire first half of "Full Metal Jacket". Everything that Gunnery Sergeant Hartman says. I have it memorized and it keeps me motivated and focused. I have a mix song, it's Marilyn Manson's "The Beautiful People" mixed with Gunnery Sergeant Hartman and Private Pyle that fills in for music.
Hoorah!
Semper Fi


"God has a hard-on for Marines.....because we KILL.....everything we see. He plays His games, we play ours. To show our appreciation for so much power, we keep heaven packed with fresh souls! God was here before the Marine Corps! So you can give your heart to Jesus, but your ass belongs to the Corps!"

There's that really annoying commericial for a drug to aid in Overactive Bladder...it has a jingle "Gotta Go Gotta Go Gotta Go Gotta Go Gotta Go Gotta Go" It just keeps going over and over in my head.
Then I think about what it's advertising and find that I have to go to the bathroom :shock: ...it's all about the madness in my head. :lol:

jumaringjeff - You do know what that song is about don't you?


Anyhow, it is normally the song I last heard in the car as I step out or when some evil person comes along and says I just cannot get this tune out of my head and starts to sing annoying commerical or jingle or song and then you cannot get it out of your head...

DAMN THESE PEOPLE... eg, I had the theme music for circus going around my head for a whole day of climbing...

Oh well.... nevermind.....

It's time to meet the muppets on the muppet show tonight." AND IT DRIVES ME ****ING NUTS! :evil: AND I CAN'T GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD........... oh now it's in my head again :(

Steve Kimock band all the way! As most of their songs that i've heard are 20 minute jams, its not hard to get the main theme of the song stuck in your head, but if it is, you wont be complaining. Look them up: http://www.kimock.com/

Also phish seems to get stuck in my head a lot.

I hear whatever was the last few songs on the radio. EXCEPT, you kow that part in the climb when you are totally exhausted, your muscles are shaking and the next move is the "monkey" power move? The kind where, if you listen to the muscles in your arms they are saying, yeah freakin right am I going to pull this! I force myself to start singing BLACK SABATH songs right then--> a lilttle Iron Man!. They tend to get my adrenalin going enough to get me through that move

"Nellie put on her Sundy dress,
Hopin' she would look her best.

Hey barefoot nellie, ho barefoot nellie,
Hey barefoot nellie, you're the one for me.

There's one that always pops in when I'm scared on a FA, hanging from a hook at Owens or drilling a 1/4" from stance - Weird Al's "Dare to be Stupid" - especially one little part -
...
Bite off more than you can chew,
What can you do?
Dare to be stupid!

Another part is perfect to help answer the ever-present question "What the f___ am I doing on this climb?":

Settle down raise a family join the PTA
Buy some sensible shoes and a Chevrolet
Then party 'til you're broke and they drive you away
It's OK, you can dare to be stupid!

I had Green Day's "Stuart and the Avenue" in my head all day Sunday climbing at NJC.

Destiny is dead
In the hands of back luck
Before it might have made some sense
But now it's all f*'ed up.

I didn't realize this was such a widespread thing. Happens to me too! Mostly when I get nervous. But then all the songs that come to mind are french, so I'll spare you the details!

This is an easy one, Anyone remember the Jerry Sienfield comedy Cd, "I'm telling you for the last time?"

Here's the song:
"don't die don't die don't die don't die, there's a rock there's a fish who cares don't die. I don't wanna die, just let me breathe and live, cause living is good and dying, not as good"

Listen to cd, it's hilarious, the song will stick in your head forever, and it's such a funny song to sing while your hanging by an 11mm thread over jagged rock.
:lol:

I would like to think that the song that opens the movie "The goonies"...by cyndi lauper comes to....

however.....

remembering a song that i know and feel would defeat my purpose in climbing.

instead i try to make my own song,
everytime a new beat ... rhythm.....melody

excuse the spelling i like this one................

and you open the door and you step inside

were, inside our hearts

now imagine your pain is a white ball of healling light

thats right your pain, the pain itself, is a white ball of healling light

i dont think so

this is your life good to the last drop, it doesnt get any better than this

this is your life, and its ending one minute at a time

this isnt a seminar this isnt a weekend retreat

were you are now you cant imagine what the bottom will be like

only after disaster can we be resurected

its only after youve lost everything that your free to do anything

nuthing is static everything is apauling, everything is falling apart

this is your life
this is your life
this is your life
this is your life
it doesent get any better than this

this is your life
this is your life
this is your life
this is your life
and it and its ending one minute at a time

you are not a beutiful and uniq snowflake

you are the same decaying organic matter as everything else

we are all a part of the same compost heap

we are the all singing all dancing crap of the world

you are not your bank account

you are not the clothes you wear

you are not the contents of your wallet

you are not your bowal cancer

you are not your grande latea

you are not the car you drive

you are not your fucking kakis


you have to give up


you have to give up
you have to realize that someday you will die until you know that you are useless

I say let me never be complete
I say may i never be content
I say deliver me from sweadish furniture
I say deliver me from clever art
I say deliver me from clear skin and perfect teath
I say you have to give up
I say evolve and let the chips fall were they may

this is your life
this is your life
this is your life
this is your life
it doesent get any better than this

this is your life
this is your life
this is your life
this is your life
and it and its ending one minute at a time

you have to give up
you have to give up

I want you to hit me as hard as you can

I want you to hit me as hard as you can

welcome to fight club if this is your first night you have to fight

Fogma, Grove Armada. I can't get that song out of my head!

Ertenally Hard by Bitch and Animal is another one that sticks.

Usually whatever was playing last in the car. But at the gym, they play a mix of pop/rock CDs so I'll just sing along to them, if I even hear them. 8)

like many, usually the last song I hear before I get out of the car. Last week one of my climbing partners got stuck with "She F***ing Hates Me" and was singing it all the way up each wall. Made for an amusing day.
