Riff stuck in your head?

SMPTE · May 11th, 2008, 05:19 PM

Did you ever get a riff stuck in your head that just WOULDN'T LEAVE?

A friend of mine was playing an acoustic version of AC/DC's "Rock and Roll ain't noise pollution" (I don't remember the band's name) in his car. And now it's lodged in my noggin.

I learned the riff in hopes of driving it out. No Joy. Any ideas??

Find a catchier riff

Yes, Deep Purple's "Perfect Strangers" cello riffs! Had 'em stuck in my head for days and wouldn't quit 'til I grabbed a flattop and started playing it myself. Then it quit. Since then it's been the intro to "Mr. Sandman" (not "ENTER Sandman"!). So much for being a bluesman eh?

My boss walked thru the office and just hummed it and it's been stuck ever since. I hate when that happens. I'll get revenge when I go in and start singin Gilligan's Island!

**Smoke on the water**

I had a guy living above me in an apartment many moons ago and he was learning to play guitar. He would play it over and over and over. I would hear it in my sleep.
