Maroon 5 has a new song out.\* Memories\* has been playing in my head for days. I enjoy the song, but I’d be ok with a break from it. ---

It’s my own fault. Saw the Hand Washing Songs thread, took about 3 nanoseconds to think of the _Baby Shark_ song. It’s such an obvious choice. Had to go to Youtube to get the link and time some of it. Yep. My fault and my fault alone. Wait … **Anny Middon** started that thread. Maybe this a deliberate attempt to get that earworm into my head. Yeah, I can blame someone else now! As a great person once said: [del]“The buck stops here.”[/del] “It’s not my fault.” ---

Now I’ve graduated from “Crazy Horses” to one of the best top 40 songs I think I’ve ever heard: [The Way](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5jlTlUTWfQ) by a band called Fastball. The video itself is meh, but the tune is way too catchy for its own good - going on at least a week now. All the time. Kinda sad - the true story behind it - probably giving me thoughts I shouldn’t be entertaining, but damn that melodious chorus in (I think) a minor key, in particular. Quite hooky. ---

[Deteriorata](https://youtu.be/LA7383noev8)from National Lampoon. All because Desiderata is appearing in one of my FB groups. Deteriorata is an excellent spoof on Desiderata. ---

We just saw and enjoyed _Ford vs. Ferrari_, which has this great cover of Tony Joe White’s “Polk Salad Annie.” I’ve listened to at least a dozen times since: [- YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8DyNHHrUhA) ---

It’s baaaack. Watched a TV show the other night that had Weezer’s _Buddy Holly_ on the soundtrack. (Can’t remember which show though. Maybe an episode from S3 of _Love_?) Fun fact: Nothing. I’ve got nothing. It’s been done. ---

A few weeks back, there was a thread about what everyone was listening too. I made a list and tried out the artists and ended up with some songs by Porcupine Tree and St Paul & the Broken Bones, so thank you to those who mentioned them. Right now, my earworm is Normal by Porcupine Tree. Love that song. ---

A “happy birthday” song off of a kids’ music CD one of my sisters or I had Happy birthday, happy Happy birthday This is your day To have a lot of fun (bum bum bum) Bring out the cake and Blow out the candles… and I can’t remember the rest, but I thought it might be “when we’re together, we have a lot of fun” or something along those lines. ---

I came across the 1930 recording of["El Manisero" (“The Peanut Vendor”)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkRikweJgsU) by Don Azpiazu and His Havana Casino Orchestra and it’s been on my mind ever since. I can’t stop listening to either it or the numerous other versions of the song (e.g.,[Stan Kenton](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lw-wrARhtOU),[Louis Armstrong](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRW7RzwxVM4), [Anita O’ Day](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaQF22WQ5Pw), [Xavier Cugat](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGeZGp2LU9Q), etc.). Must be my OCD kicking in. ---

Right now it’s [Scream by Dreamcatcher](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKlGHHhTOsQ). Goth KPop! Okay, they aren’t _actually_ goth, but they do have a dark, mature aesthetic by KPop standards, and their music tends to have a fantasy/horror theme. This song can basically be described as a descent into madness. It starts out by begging “I don’t want to scream”, then their eyes are opened, and it finishes with “I’m going to make you scream”. ---
