This week Jen’s Twisted Mix Tape is blogger’s choice and I thought I would gift you all with the songs that have been playing in a loop through my head.
You may all be thinking, “I thought you worked in a library?” and I do. But in between programs, while sitting at my desk, working in the office and looking through the stacks I find that I start humming and then singing and, well, soon it’s a full on concert.
Here are the songs that have been running through my head:
Royals – Lorde
Yes, this song has been out for a while but *I* just started liking it and, possibly, ruining it for everyone I work with. Below is Lorde and a wonderful acapella version from Florida State University.

Bellas Final from Pitch Perfect
Aca-believe it. I LOVE the movie Pitch Perfect and have found reasons to be singing the Bellas final performance.
When you walk on by…will you call my name?

Safety Dance – Men Without Hats
This may or may not be one of my ring tones.
Ahem.
Say, we can act if want to
If we don’t nobody will
And you can act real rude and totally removed
And I can act like an imbecile

She Blinded Me With Science – Thomas Dolby
It’s poetry in motion!
The overall theme for my library’s 2014 summer reading program is science and we finally got our manuals and damned if that song isn’t stuck in my head.

Pour Some Sugar on Me – Balls of Fury Version
I LOVE the movie Balls of Fury. It’s ridiculous, it’s silly, it’s ping pong. Plus Christopher Walken is in it!

Royals is always running through my head too! Great song!
So great that you’ve got Safety Dance in here! I almost included the Literal Video version in my mix! Check it out on youtube, it is hilarious! Also? I came in late to the party on the Lorde song too and I really like it. Great mix!
The last one cracked me up and now I may have to waste a couple hours and watch the movie. And I just re-watched Pitch Perfect a couple weeks ago, I’m such a sucker for underdog singing/dancing movies. Speaking of movies, I can’t hear Safety Dance anymore without thinking of the scene in Bio-Dome with Pauley Shore. I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing. Fantastic mixtape this week!
Awesome song choices!! My husband was telling me how he got Royals stuck in all his co-workers heads the other day and then it got stuck in MY head!
Pour Some Sugar on Me? Really?
You have some good ones on there!! I actually think I am one of the few people that has never seen Pitch Perfect. I need to get on that.
Pitch Perfect is just so much fun. I hope you like it.
Never even heard of these songs–what has been stuck in my head for a while now is Happy Birthday to you and before that Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
Great list, I haven’t heard Safety Dance in years!
What an awesome list! I think my girls would love Lorde. Me too actually!
Against my will I’ve been humming Christmas music for most of the day. I can’t help it. Not a huge fan of it. Great list!
Though I never have heard of these songs they seem to be a good collection!
Great list! I actually have toddler songs stuck in my head most of the time 🙂
I have a Wiggles CD that I listen to for work and can have Captain Feathersword in my head for weeks!
Every time someone says ‘science’ the Thomas Dolby song comes to mind. 🙂
There are several older songs on there. I was wondering who sang Royals, now I can download it when I get a minute.
I haven't heard of many of them I have to admit for a second I thought Lorde was Lordi and was slightly confused (bit of a difference in style there) x
This is a pretty long list of songs,will definitely try to hear some of them.
Looks like some great list of songs. Balls of Fury was funny!
I really like Royals, and the acapella version of it is really cool!
This was a fun one!
Now they're all stuck in my head too. I usually have a tough time getting rid of the Pitch Perfect songs from my mind.. they did an awesome job combining songs.
I just BARELY heard ROYALS too, but I heard it from my favorite Cover artists Pentatonix (PXT) accapella group. Have you heard their version? it is awesome!

Other than that; I seriously love that song from Pitch Perfect. I could listen to it all the time!
What a nice selection of music. Thank you for sharing them.
I enjoyed them all. I will have to stop by more often so I can experience the new music and old that is out there that I haven't heard.

I remember the Safety Dance song. That was fun!
This is such a varied list! I first heard the Royale song on The Voice this year and loved the version they did there!
I love the song “Royale!!! “Blinded Me With Science” I haven’t heard that one forever. Great list!
I remember she blinded me with science! That one is too funny!
I really enjoyed Pitch Perfect! I used to live for choir in highschool and that movie really hit home! I loved it! Great list this week!
My oldest has Royal on replay. I’ve heard it so much that I’m sick and tired of hearing it now. She’s always blasting it in her room. 🙂
Great compilation of songs.
