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.

Yeah great post... =]

I love nothing more than having a chilled out song in my head during a session...

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


I'm yours - Jason Mraz


and this one still! =]

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)

One that nearly brought me to insanity while windsurfing or anything else for that matter; Driving in My Big Red Car' by the Wiggles. Only parents with screaming kids will understand.

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.
