Song4You I can relate to Mr Guder being in your head its is one of my lest liked Carpenters songs yet all too often I can't get it out of my head. Its like of all the Carpenters songs why is this one always popping into my head especially when I consider it kind of a silly song (It gets annoying when it wont get out of your head). I guess thats why they call it the hook whether you like it or not it gets in your head. Just though I'd say somthing on this. Just to add my two cents here. I love "Mr. Guder", it's one of my longtime favorite. I especially like the jazz vocal trade off K&R do near the end. The musicianship is excellent. It may be somewhat silly, but it is really an excellent song. Current song stuck in my head is "Something's Missing", someone else made mention of the song in a recent post and today I must have played it about ten times. It's an outstanding song. Karen's voice is above and beyond. I hope these unreleased solo tracks are one day completed and released.

It may be somewhat silly, but it is really an excellent song. "Mr. Guder" is also one of my favorites, Rick. I guess that's why I listened to it over 60 times! It does have a silly concept to it, but the musical aspect of it is fantastic! Laura

"Goofus" is my current "can't get it out of my head song". I was listening to it the other day and it's also included on the newest website update which should appear around July 15, 2004, and since then i just can't get this interesting oddball song out of my mind. I just love "Goofus".

For the longest time it was Invocation that was stuck in my head; I have no idea how a one minute song could get stuck in my head but it did. Now the song in my head is Making Love In The Afternoon I love this song and consider Peter Cetera's contributions to it iceing on the cake!
As far as Goofus goes I have been warming up to it a little more since I saw the first TV special again and saw Karen and Richard performing it in those somewhat odd outfits. I consider it more of a novelty song now but still wont likely ever be close to making my favorates list. Hey its better than Man Smart Woman Smarter whatever thats worth.

One dance song that I really like and it catchy...(Please excuse the pun...) but CAN'T GET YOU OUT OF MY HEAD!! By Kylie Minogue, that Australian singer. Neat song!

I'm in love with "Leave Yesterday Behind". I sometimes play it over 10 times or more! It's kind of inhabited my soul. Hey I could have worse troubles!

Hi Rob, It does in fact have a nice feel to that song...a precious little gift from Karen, almost beyond the grave.

Rob "Leave Yesterday Behind" is a beautiful song and is also the one that has been on my mind the most. p.s. Cam I went back through the archives and this thread, so far as of July 30, 2004, has the distinction of having the most posts.

You know it would have been cool if Karen had recorded a classical styled album. She would have been a natural at it vocally. ANOTHER SONG, INTERMISSION, FROM THIS MOMENT ON, AVE MARIA all have classical pieces within the song....
My thoughts, Cameron

I've been playing Karen's unreleased solo tracks and LOVE MAKING LOVE TO YOU is once again stuck in mind. I've also been hooked on GOODBYE AND I LOVE YOU from the sublime HORIZON album.

Had a song playing in my head all day long. Driving in the car. At work. Even while talking to people.
People must wonder what I'm up to when I'm talking to them and tapping out a C song in my head with my hand on a table top.
I never listened to other songs during the day so the song stayed with me.
Its name? I can't remember -- I've been listening to other C songs while on the computer and that all-day-long song is long gone.
Wonder what tomorrow's song will be?

My songs for a while have been Road Ode and Crescent Noon. It is strange because I am now playing MIA and VOTH records yet those two songs are the ones constantly in my head supplemented by Only Yesterday now and then. I guess for me it is not so much the songs I most listen to as the ones that have the greatest impact on me emotionally that get stuck in my head. The exception to this is Mr Guder but thats another story

I'm just a visitor that Loves Richard and Karen......'Maybe It's You' just won't leave me. I was listening to the 35th Anniversary Gold collection and hadn't heard it for a long time and it brought tears to my eyes with it's innocence and powerful melody......another song that I'm always coming back to is 'Only Yesterday' because of it's uplifting lyric and powerful production....interesting to note that my wife, who likes the Carpenters but hadn't heard much of their material absolutely loved 'This Masquerade'. She thought it was a perfect song for Karen and loved the smooth production and arrangement from Richard.
Their music is on my mind a lot...thankfully....it keeps me in a good place

I just recently viewed The First Television Special from 1976 with guests John Denver and Victor Borge, this was a great program, very funny. Anyway ever since I've had the one comical duet Karen and Richard did starting with "These are the jokes folks".
