Today's song stuck in my head

[Mr. Ubiquity]

I don't know which NES game it's from, but there's some 8-bit music in my head.  Candidates include:   Bionic Commando, TMNT 1, Mega Man 1 or 2, or Castlevania.

Transcribed as best I can:

duh-Dah-duh-Dah-duh-Dah-duh-Dah duh-deh-duh
DA DA Dah!
duh-Dah-duh-Dah-duh-Dah-duh-Dah duh-deh-duh
da da, da DEH!
doo doo doo
deh-deh-deh-deh dah doo dah doo dah dah
deh-deh-deh-deh dah doo dah doo dah dah
deh-deh-deh-deh dah doo dah doo dah dah
dah dah doobie dow
deet deet deet!

Come to think of it, it might be from Silpheed (by Sierra).

if anyone can correctly identify that song, you deserve to be shot..

Looks like Super Mario Brothers

Looks like Super Mario Brothers

Nope.  I KNOW it isn't.  In fact, I know someone who has transcribed the Mario theme into "doot"s...

I'm looking for the graphic right now, but it may take some time as the site it's on appears to be down.

Here it is:

If we make it through December
Everythings gonna be all right I know
It's the coldest time of winter
And I shivver when I see the fallin snow (change "shivver" to "shiver")

If we make it through December
I got plans of bein in a warmer town come summer time (change "of bein" to "to be" and delete the "I" in the beginning of the sentence)
Maybe even California
If we make it through December we'll be fine

I got laid off down at the factory (delete "I")
And there time is not the greatest in the world
Heaven knows I been workin' hard
I wanted Christmas to be right for daddy's girl
Now I don't mean to hate December
It's meant to be the happy time of year
And  my little girl don't understand
Why daddy can't afford no Christmas tree (change "tree" to gift")

If we make it through December
Everythings gonna be alright I know
It's the coldest time of winter
And I shivver when I see the fallin' snow (change "shivver" to "shiver")

If we make it through December
I got plans of bein' in a warmer town come summer time (change "of bein" to "to be" and delete the "I" in the beginning of the sentence)
Maybe even California
If we make it through December we'll be fine

Just ignore alll those corrections.

[Jessie]

Can I get the other one back?


Well, beat the drum and hold the phone - the sun came out today!
We're born again, there's new grass on the field.
A-roundin' third, and headed for home, it's a brown-eyed handsome man;
Anyone can understand the way I feel.

Oh, put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;
Put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;
Look at me, I can be Centerfield.

Well, I spent some time in the Mudville Nine, watchin' it from the bench;
You know I took some lumps when the Mighty Casey struck out.
So Say Hey Willie, tell Ty Cobb and Joe DiMaggio;
Don't say "it ain't so", you know the time is now.

Oh, put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;
Put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;
Look at me, I can be Centerfield.

Yeah! I got it, I got it!

Got a beat-up glove, a homemade bat, and brand-new pair of shoes;
You know I think it's time to give this game a ride.
Just to hit the ball and touch 'em all - a moment in the sun;
(pop) It's gone and you can tell that one goodbye!

Oh, put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;
Put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;
Look at me, I can be Centerfield.

Oh, put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;
Put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;
Look at me, I can be Centerfield.

Yeah!

Eyes that look like heaven, lips like sherry wine
That girl can sure enough make my little light shine
I get a funny feelin' up and down my spine
'Cause I know that my Elvira's mine

So I'm singin'
Elvira, Elvira
My heart's on fire Elvira
Giddy Up Oom Poppa Omm Poppa Mow Mow
Giddy Up Oom Poppa Omm Poppa Mow Mow
Heigh-ho Silver, away

Tonight I'm gonna meet her at the Hungry House Cafe
And I'm gonna give her all the love I can
She's gonna jump and holler 'cause I saved up my last two dollars
We're gonna search and find that preacher man

Now I'm a singin'
Elvira, Elvira
My heart's on fire Elvira
Giddy Up Oom Poppa Omm Poppa Mow Mow
Giddy Up Oom Poppa Omm Poppa Mow Mow
Heigh-ho Silver, away

All F**KING night long I was singing a hymn we'd rehearsed yesterday in choir.  ALL NIGHT it was going through my head.

I can't remember it now. 

It better not pop in there again tonight or I'm going to do some serious brain damage.

You do realize that you put fucking, choir and hymn all in the same sentence...

It's a Universal Unitarian choir.  I'm surprised the songs don't have all those words in them!

[Listener]

I originally had this:

Got a surprise especially for you,
Something that both of us have always wanted to do.
We've waited so long, waited so long.
We've waited so long, waited so long.

I'm gonna take you on a trip so far from here,
I've got two tickets in my pocket, now baby, we're gonna disappear.
We've waited so long, waited so long.
We've waited so long, waited so long.

I've got two tickets to paradise,
Won't you pack your bags, we'll leave tonight,
I've got two tickets to paradise,
I've got two tickets to paradise.

oh-oh-uh-oh-uh-oh-uh-oh-uh-oh-uh-oh
oh-oh-uh-oh-uh-oh-uh-oh-uh-oh-uh-oh

I'm gonna take you on a trip so far from here,
I've got two tickets in my pocket, now baby, we're gonna disappear.
We've waited so long, waited so long.
We've waited so long, waited so long.

I've got two tickets to paradise,
Won't you pack your bags, we'll leave tonight,
I've got two tickets to paradise,
I've got two tickets to paradise.

But Jessie's most recent song switched it to this:

On Christmas morning
Outside it was pouring
I was hopeless in this home
And no one speaking
No one creeping
To see if she was on the phone

And you were quiet
This routine riot is all but practical to me
And if we see it why can't we be it?
Can we let each other be?

Forget December
It won't be better than I remember it before
And this month only
Would be so lonely
And not so holy anymore

New year's eve came
But nothing had changed
All the problems just got worse
We sat in silence
The routine science
Could heal the sickness we reherse

And if I'm talking
My words are mocking
The deaf ears they have fallen on
These words are tainted
With years of jaded
In a sense thats all but gone

Forget December
It won't be better than I remember it before
And this month only
Would be so lonely
And not so holy anymore..
Anymore...anymore...anymore...

Forget December
It won't be better than I remember it before
And this month only
Would be so lonely
And not so holy anymore

Forget December
It won't be better than I remember it before
A silent night won't feel quite right
It's not so silent anymore..
Anymore...anymore...anymore...

On Christmas morning
Outside was pouring
I was hopeless in this home

[ignom]

It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won't see another one
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you

Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So happy Christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true

They've got cars big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It's no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me

You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging,
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night

The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day

You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it's our last

I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you

[Listener]

Don't tell me not to live,
Just sit and putter,
Life's candy and the sun's
A ball of butter.
Don't bring around a cloud
To rain on my parade.
Don't tell me not to fly--
I've simply got to.
If someone takes a spill,
It's me and not you.
Who told you you're allowed
To rain on my parade!
I'll march my band out,
I'll beat my drum,
And if I'm fanned out,
Your turn at bat, sir.
At least I didn't fake it.
Hat, sir, I guess I didn't make it!
But whether I'm the rose
Of sheer perfection,
Or freckle on the nose
Of life's complexion,
The cinder or the shiny apple of it's eye,
I gotta fly once,
I gotta try once,
Only can die once, right, sir?
Ooh, love is juicy,
Juicy, and you see
I gotta have my bite, sir!
Get ready for me, love,
'cause I'm a comer,
I simply gotta march,
My heart's a drummer.
Don't bring around a cloud
To rain on my parade!

I'm gonna live and live now,
Get what I want--i know how,
One roll for the whole shebang,
One throw, that bell will go clang,
Eye on the target--and wham--
One shot, one gun shot, and bam--
Hey, mister arnstein, here I am!
I'll march my band out,
I will beat my drum,
And if I'm fanned out,
Your turn at bat, sir,
At least I didn't fake it.
Hat, sir, I guess I didn't make it.
Get ready for me, love,
'cause I'm a comer,
I simply gotta march,
My heart's a drummer.
Nobody, no, nobody
Is gonna rain on my parade!

Little less conversation little more action...

ROGER
Who do you think you are?
Barging in on me and my guitar
Little girl -- hey
The door is that way
You better go you know
The fire's out anyway
Take your powder -- take your candle
Your sweet whisper
I just can't handle
Well take your hair in the moonlight
Your brown eyes -- goodbye, goodnight
I should tell you I should tell you
I should tell you I should -- no!
Another time -- another place
Our temperature would climb
There'd be a long embrace
We'd do another dance
It'd be another play
Looking for romance?
Come back another day
Another day

MIMI
The heart may freeze or it can burn
The pain will ease if I can learn
There is no future
There is no past
I live this moment as my last
There's only us
There's only this
Forget regret
Or life is yours to miss
No other road
No other way
No day but today

ROGER
Excuse me if I'm off track
But if you're so wise
Then tell me -- why do you need smack?
Take your needle
Take your fancy prayer
And don't forget
Get the moonlight out of your hair
Long ago -- you might've lit up my heart
But the fire's dead -- ain't never ever gonna start
Another time -- another place
The words would only rhyme
We'd be in outer space
It'd be another song
We'd sing another way
You wanna prove me wrong?
Come back another day
Another day

MIMI
There's only yes
Only tonight
We must let go
To know what's right
No other course
No other way
No day but today
(Lights slowly fade up on the Life Support group.)

MIMI & OTHERS
I can't control
My destiny
I trust my soul
My only goal is just
To be
There's only now
There's only here
Give in to love
Or live in fear
No other path
No other way
No day but today...

ROGER
Control your temper
She doesn't see
Who says that there's a soul?
Just let me be...
Who do you think you are?
Barging in on me and my guitar
Little girl, hey
The door is that way
The fire's out anyway

ALL
No day but today
No day but today
No day but today
No day but today
No day but today

ROGER
Take your powder; take your candle
Take your brown eyes, your pretty smile, your silhouette
Another time, another place
Another rhyme, a warm embrace
Another dance, another way
Another chance, another day

This is such an upbeat song...it's perfect for the stupid cold weather we're having....

When I first held you I was cold
A melting snowman I was told
But there was no-one there to hold
Before I swore that I would be alone forever more
Wow, look at you now
Flowers in the window
It's such a lovely day
And I'm glad that you feel the same
'cos to stand up I'm in the crowd
You are one in a million
And I love you so let's watch the flowers grow
There is no reason to feel bad
But there are many seasons to feel glad, sad, mad
It's just a bunch of feelings that we have to hold
But I am here to help you with the load
Wow, look at you now
Flowers in the window
It's such a lovely day
And I'm glad that you feel the same
'cos to stand up I'm in the crowd
You are one in a million
And I love you so let's watch the flowers grow
So now we're heer and now is fine
So far away from there
And there is time, time, time
To plant new seeds and watch them grow
So there'll be flowers in the window when we go
Wow, look at you now
Flowers in the window
It's such a lovely day
And I'm glad that you feel the same
'cos to stand up I'm in the crowd
You are one in a million
And I love you so let's watch the flowers grow
Wow, look at you now
Flowers in the window
It's such a lovely day
And I'm glad that you feel the same
'cos to stand up I'm in the crowd
You are one in a million
And I love you so let's watch the flowers grow
Let's watch the flowers grow

Santa's In A Wheelchair

It's Christmas eve and the sky is gray
Santa's on the roof with his reindeer and sleigh
He steps on the chimney and slips on some snow
Head first, down he goes
He lands in the fireplace, his feet in the air
And wakes up to his worst nightmare
He tries to stand up but to his surprise
He can't get up cause he's paralyzed

    Santa's in a wheelchair
    Santa's in a wheelchair
    Rollin through the night air
    Santa's in a wheelchair

He's lying there in a mess of toys
When he fell in he made a whole lotta noise
But only one woke up, I don't know why
It was a kid from Widney High
She rolled in and saw him lying there
And knew that he was gonna need her chair
Santa couldn't move and was losin time
When she spoke up and said "Take mine."
(Chorus)

Do we feel sorry for Santa? No! No!
Do we pity Santa? No! No!
Do we still love Santa? Yeah..... yeah, yeah, yeah
(Chorus)
(Breakdown)
(Chorus)
(Chorus)

[Eva:]
I don't expect my love affairs to last for long
Never fool myself that my dreams will come true
Being used to trouble I anticipate it
But all the same I hate it, wouldn't you?

[Chorus:]

[Eva:] So what happens now?
[Che:] Another suitcase in another hall
[Eva:] So what happens now?
[Che:] Take your picture off another wall
[Eva:] Where am I going to?
[Che:] You'll get by, you always have before
[Eva:] Where am I going to?

Time and time again I've said that I don't care
That I'm immune to gloom, that I'm hard through and through
But every time it matters all my words desert me
So anyone can hurt me, and they do

[chorus]

Call in three months time and I'll be fine, I know
Well maybe not that fine, but I'll survive anyhow
I won't recall the names and places of each sad occasion
But that's no consolation here and now.

[chorus, with Che's lines being sung by the starlets]

[Huevo:]
Don't ask anymore.
