I just realized the Moody Blues’ “Send Me No Wine” was going through the back of my head. I don’t know how it got there, but it can leave any time it wants. ---

Shamelessly trendy, but I’ve been listening to Wednesday Addams’ cover of “Paint It Black” on the cello a lot. It’s really catchy, no surprise. ---

Got to be at least thirty years since I last heard this song, which popped into my head a few days ago. A catchy chorus… [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/08kEFELCb3I/hqdefault.jpg?sqp=-oaymwEmCOADEOgC8quKqQMa8AEB-AG0BIACkAOKAgwIABABGH8gQygjMA8=&rs=AOn4CLBkprm31ur6jLhqB9kROdoIaJ4zLA "The Kingston Trio - Desert Pete - With Lyrics - 1963") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08kEFELCb3I) ---

I have three that have been buzzing in my brain for the past couple of months ever since seeing G-Idle (prounced Aideul, no G in Korean) on _Knowing Bros_, a Korean variety show. All the songs are written by So Yeon, the leader and main rapper. _Latata_ - I heard this when it first came out years ago, but it’s back in rotation in my head. Trivia: The sixth member, Soo Jin was ousted in 2021 due to an alleged bullying incident when she was in school. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/9mQk7Evt6Vs/maxresdefault.jpg "[MV] (G)I-DLE ((여자)아이들) \_ LATATA") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mQk7Evt6Vs) _Tomboy_ - Yes, they’re really saying “f\*\*_ing tomboy_!” Unheard of in Kpop, especially from a girl group, who are generally supposed to be squeaky clean. They and usually the audience say it during their non-Korean live performances Also, if you listen carefully, Shu Hua is really singing “law law law…”\* not “la la la…” because of her accent. She’s Hakka (Southern Chinese) and Taiwanese.

_The Isle of Capri_. I heard a friend play it on the piano several times almost 30 years ago. When someone mentioned her a few days ago, it came back to me and has been lodged in my head.
