Last song you woke up with in your head? (lyrics, best, listen)

[Mimidae]

What's the last song that was in your head upon waking up?

I'm not talking about an hour into your day, but literally: you're in bed or have just gotten up, and you realize there's a specific song running through your head, for no discernible reason (not like you went to sleep listening to it, or you heard a passing car playing it on the car stereo).

I'm always fascinated when this happens to me. My husband and I almost always have songs in our heads (pretty big music nerds), but what makes a certain song play in my head upon waking up? Was I dreaming that song, as well?

This particular morning it was Joe Jackson's "Stepping Out" that was in my head as I was waking up. Really just the chorus, over and over. No reason why.

I watched "Gold Diggers of 1935" not long before I went to bed. This haunted me ALL night and into the morning! The songbird/Broadway Baby is Wini(fred) Shaw.

That's not the complete Busby Berkeley number; this is another part, ensuring that the song is embedded in one's brain:

Seen in completion, this is a lengthy, amazing, surreal segment! Some consider it the best and darkest thing BB ever put together!

I don't understand all the lyrics but this tune bounced around in my head all last week.
