My current earworm is Danny Kaye’s “I’ve Got a Loverly Bunch of Coconuts”. I heard it on You Tube from a 1951 record of his. ---

My wife and I went to Columbia, SC for a wedding last week and our hotel just happened to be less than a block away from their pride parade on Friday night. There was also a DJ playing some tunes and I was surprised to hear All The Small Things by Blink-182 play. I’m not the biggest fan of the band though I like them OK but I did dance around to it while waving an LGBT flag. My wife has video to prove it. 😉 Since then, the song has been in my head.

Similar to mine, which is John Deere Green. And I rarely listen to country. Oh, now I remember why. It’s because the other day I was out in the country and stopped at a flower farm and they had an old John Deere tractor sitting in the field. Here’s the photo I took.

Not quite as frightening as Killdozer, but still… Nice pix of Day of the Dead. Reminds me of an episode of **Brookenwood Murders** where the victim is part of the display during a DotD celebration. ---

Manhã de Carnival, music written by Luiz Bonfá and lyrics by Antônio Maria, first appeared in the 1959 Brazilian film _Black Orpheus_ (_Orpheu Negro_). If memory serves, in the film it was performed by a male character, but the version that has been running in my ear all day is [recording by Elizete Cardoso](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCrbTwYhWdw) which seems to be the version on the official soundtrack album. I’ve listened to it a hundred times but before I listened to it this morning it had been a few years since the last time, I think. ---

Today it’s been “Incense and Peppermints” by 1967 one-hit wonder Strawberry Alarm Clock. It was a Billboard #1 song. They were a “group” in name only. Like several “groups” back then, they were studio musicians who struck gold with one song and then disappeared, though I do remember they had a follow-up (“Barefoot in Baltimore”) that went nowhere. The vocalist was just some guy visiting the studio who filled in when the original vocalist didn’t work out. And did a great job too! It’s a good tune from that era. A pleasant, nostalgic play on my mind’s jukebox. ---

I recently bought a certain brand of powedred cleanser at the store and now I can’t get this song out of my brain. _Comet, it makes your teeth turn green!_ _Comet, it tastes like gasoline!_ _Comet, will make you vomit_ _So buy some Comet and vomit_ _Today!_ _Comet will make your tongue turn blue!_ _Comet, it tastes like glue!_ _Comet, is good in omlets_ _So buy some Comet_ _And make an omelette_ _Today!_ AAAARRRG!! Please make this stop before I lose my mind!
