The xx - VCR. It’s on repeat in my brain. Over and over and over. Don’t get me wrong, it’s an excellent song. It’s just stuck. ---

Two songs off the new brilliant green album, BLACKOUT - Talk to me and Song 2 (the latter being a cover of the Blur song). Also, the final minute or so of LIKE YESTERDAY. It’s a catchy album, in general - Tommy and Okuda are in good form - but those lock in hard. ---

[“We No Speak Americano”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3S4dBk4E1g) I’m listening to it right now as I post! ---

I was tempted to post this over in the folk song thread and ended up getting the song stuck in my head. Popeye, Olive Oyl and Bluto sing “Barnacle Bill” [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPmdb315upY) If you don’t get that song stuck in your head after listening to that clip your not human. Enjoy! 😉 ---

Right this second, and [thanks to this poll](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=579340), it’s [R.E.M.'s “I Remember California”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-QDmnIkw_c), which isn’t a bad thing. ---

I missed it back when there was a thread here about it, but now I can’t get it out of my head: [Fuck You](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc0mxOXbWIU) (nsfw) It makes me wish I had my own trio of backup singers. ---

All the single ladies! (All the single ladies.) All the single ladies! (All the single ladies.) If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it … Courtesy of “Glee” and the opening scene with Kurt singing this one. Jeebus. Now, when one of our cats demands his dinner, sometimes Mr. Horseshoe or I will sing at him: All the hungry kitties! (All the hungry kitties.) All the hungry kitties! (All the hungry kitties.) ---
