Recently I just got my grubby hands on the new Tushingham Rock
In winds around the 15-20 knots Im usually cranking out my trusty 5.7m Rock but having a new sail I just wanna use it all the time. Its been quite hot the last week and looks like the forecast is much the same with light seabreezes but as I have been rigging up my new sail I somehow got this song in my head and continue to sing it while windsurfing. This has happened for the past few weeks now. Its not a bad thing. Great song and sick sail. Review of sail coming shortly.

ROCK IT!!!

(Rocket by Def Leppard)

Rocket - what a great song. They opened with it when they played live in november, and it was phenomenal.

I get all sorts of weird songs stuck in my head when I'm out windsurfing. The captain planet theme song, anyone?

I'm not proud of that.

Sometimes when I sail I just start singing, making weird stuff up as I go along...

If I make an album, will you guys buy it?

That song and clip is so bad - I thought i was watching out takes from Spinal Tap!

Def leppard - I wished I was def and didn't have to hear it.

Put them on a rocket and send them to the sun is my vote.

This one seems to just keep coming back continually...

Speaking of which, the crowd on the local beach sometimes bring the Spinal Tap success (?) Big Bottoms to mind, and can't get it out the entire outing:

"The bigger the cushion, The sweeter the pushin', That's what I said
The looser the waistband, The deeper the quicksand, Or so I have read
(...)
Big bottom, drive me out of my mind
How can I leave this behind?"

The movie's recommended, BTW. About as bad as the song - in a good way.

Oh, and a bit of Mraz thrown in as well "And so I'm sailing,through the sea.....To an island, where we'll meet.....You'll hear the musiiiiiic, fill the air.....I'll put a flooooower in your hair" (a duo, although I don't do the chick parts......I'm not wierd or anything)

haha - this is wicked thread!

The other day in a 30+knot session, i somehow got the "Hero's Wear helmets" song in my head - wierdest s#&t ever - hadnt heard it for about 15yrs???!!!

I have found a solution to this problem though! my brother bought me a waterproof strap/case and head/phones for my ipod for chrissy - just crank up what ever song/album you want and go for a sail - nothing psyches you up more than your favourite tunes playing while you fang across the water!!!

And remember - HEROES WEAR HELMETS!!!!!!! :)

I hate it when everyone is singing songs in their heads, I can't concentrate for the noise.

I'm with you eP......I hate when the voices in my head start singing.....I prefer the constant whispering....."death to those who oppose humphrey-bear!"[}:)], & "go on, wear those tights, no one will laugh." & "why is everyone staring at me?"

Hey Richie,
That album must have been a huge success judging by the way you're now living on a yacht and spending your free time windsurfing.
