Now playing: The theme from the Andy Griffith Show.
I have a feeling this one’s going to have its mail forwarded to my head.
mmm
Kandi - One Eskimo
flip flopping with
Hit 'em Up Style - Blu Cantrell
Right now it’s alternating between Blind Guardian’s Lord of the Rings* and this unusual version of a Disney song.**
*At work we use “MOR” as shorthand and whenever I see that I think of the “Mordor” part of that song.
**When I’m at work and I’m angry thinking of this song helps calm me down.
I considered going to see Baby Metal live… then I saw that the tickets cost over $60, which is too damn expensive for a novelty act.
Been there.
What I woke up with this morning:
Let’s go to the mall(yes, Robin Sparkles)
Billy Joel’s Keeping the Faith. Only for some reason, in my brain, I keep singing, “Pieces of Eighhhhhhhhht - Yeah, yeah, yeah - Pieces of Eighhht”.
Ridiculous 80’s music video:
I have Van Morrison’s Moondance stuck in my head.
I hope it never gets out.
I have a mash-up of Taylor Swift’s ‘Shake It Off’ and Outkast’s ‘Hey Ya!’ going. Shake shake shake, shake shake shake.
Jimmy Fallon and Will Farrell’s Tight Pantsis always coming and going in and out of my head on account of all the young dude’s here with there skinny cut trousers. It’s all I can do to stop myself from doing the actual dance some times.
Besides a certain obscure television theme song, my latest earworm is Suspicion Bells by Effigy.
Don’t know why it popped into my head suddenly yesterday. Maybe relationship issues.
Anyway, when I went to YouTube to listen to it for the first time in more than a decade, I was kinda disappointed. I remembered it as being a bit grittier that it really is. Still like it OK.
(My constantly recurring earworm is a song that probably no one knows and that I will probably never find again. Don’t even know its name or the name of the band.)
Mrs. FtG has been playing Rolling Stones while she cooks lately. So I’ve been getting Not Fade Away stuck in my head every time I hear it. But not the Stones version, or even the Buddy Holly version, but the live Grateful Dead one that I’m more familiar with.
A friend posted this the other day. Ugh. (Safe for work, but contains highly contagious earworm)
So yes, Barbie girl, by Aqua.
I am truly sorry.
By The Mark performed by Gillian Welch and David Rawlings. A friend’s wife of 30+ years died a couple days ago. That’s what I posted on FB to help him find peace (he’s a minister but a cool one—old Freak [hippie] and still quick to jump in
discussions about the drug-laced Summer of Love that lasted a few years.) I love it and can’t get it out of my head. I’ve watched it on YouTube several times since.
It’s all about the bass, 'bout the bass, no treble…
Ugh.
Unfortunately, I’m only working on Spanish spoken shows from South America, so the theme to El Cartel 2 is in my head. I’m walking around wailing, “Mama, siempre me decia…”
Will be blaring Steely Dan in car, Slayer at the bar. 
I am really sorry to hear about that.
Right now it’s “Do You”, by Spoon, and before that it was a song by Ratatat that NPR keeps playing between the host segments of “Here and Now” (I can’t remember the name of it) that was stuck there for a few days. Oh, and before that it was a new one by Ratatat called “Cream on Chrome” that’s both funky and delicious and I was kind of happy it was there, but then again they all start out like that.
A while back, we had dinner at a restaurant where I wanted a slice of seasonal pie, but they were out. On the way out, the waitress let me have a taste of her pie. It was lemon pie. Remembering that put Space Dog into my head. Not much of a hook to that song, but I do sure like it.
I’m been grooving to Soul Bossa Nova by Quincy Jones ever since someone mentioned the old game show “Definition” a few days ago. It’s a catchy tune, so it’s not a bad earworm to have.
Mike Myers chose Soul Bossa Nova for the theme for “Austin Powers,” so we call it an age test - which do you think of when you hear the song?
Madeline Kahn’s “I’m Tired” from Blazing Saddles. I think I was mowing the lawn when it came to me.
Hardly any time passed since I posted my previous earworm and I’ve got a different one, really, really bad. Better Man by Pearl Jam/Eddie Vedder.
I was at the dentist. The song came one. I remembered Vedder recently played it on one of Letterman’s last shows. So I went online and re-watched it.
Big mistake.
Horribly stuck in my brain. It’s not a worm, it’s a snake.
