Song In My Head
"Monkey Gone to Heaven" by the Pixies. I just started singing it out of the blue. My favorite part about this song is Black Francis saying "Rock Me, Joe" right before Joey Santiago's guitar solo. As far as I'm concerned, that's an essential part of the song that must be replicated in any live version or by any band covering this song, even if the lead guitarist isn't named Joe.

I'm sorry, but I think the Pixies are an overrated band. I do like your comment, and agree, that weird idiosyncrasies soemtiems make a song. Much like Warren Zevon yleping near the end of "wearwolves of London," Rick James telling the Temptations to sing, or "Go Jimmy" stated by Mick Jagger in "Sympathy for the Devil."
