I’m hearing the theme from Time Team. I blame YouTube.
Wildflower by Skylark. I have no idea how that popped into my head. I didn’t even know the name of the song or band. I had to Google it this morning by using the lines that keep looping through my brain. “let the rain fall down upon her. She’s a free and gentle flower, growing wild.”
I added it to my Spotify play list!
It’s a few weeks early, but: “Then Came The Last Days Of May” by BOC
“Oh, Brother” - MakeWar
Thank You God - Tim Minchin (youtube.com)
There’s about 5 minutes of stand up before the song starts.
Because of this:
This:
My current earworm is whatever song I’m trying to learn on the guitar. Right now it’s “Heart Like A Wheel” by the McGarrigle Sisters. I seem to learn songs that are sung beautifully by talented singers with very high ranges (my last earworm was “Sounds of Silence”) which means I can never hope to perform them for anyone’s pleasure other than my own.
For some reason, the B-52s just keep playing on my mental hit-list. This time it’s:
I have had Neil Diamond on my mind a lot for the last couple months. This is thanks to a couple of commercials featuring his music. I don’t mind since I love Holly Holy and I am, I said. Such wonderful music.
But today I came to talk about the new song by Hozier called Too Sweet. It’s very good and has been playing off and on in my head since I saw them on Colbert recently.
I really like the song, but I need a rest!
George Michael’s “Careless Whisper”.
A great improvement since my last post: Teenage Wildlife, by Bowie. I actually like it!
Premiere of “A Gritty Resolution” (youtube.com)
the chorus sticks in your head. the lofty “gritty” and delco beard.
for those who don’t follow sport mascots this is gritty:
Haim - If I could Change Your Mind
I don’t know why.
Operation Ivy - Knowledge
My son said something along the lines of “I know I don’t know” and I responded with this song’s chorus and it’s been stuck in my head since.
“Duel of the fates”, and I didn’t even like the movie!
Just saw the movie, now this is stuck in my head.
“Libiamo ne’ lieti calici”, from La Traviata.
I’ve been remarkably earworm free lately. But last night we watched an episode from last week of Seth Meyers and he and John Hamm got riffing on Up on the Roof.
Thanks a lot guys.
(Hamm did 3 segments on the show but the one where they do this isn’t online. In another segment Seth shows a pic of John next to a horse wearing the Pendleton Dude sweater, available for a mere $269, but no one commented on that. Groucho- “Why the horse was wearing a sweater I’ll never know.”)

I also think it’s funny that both members of the two piece Bob Vylan have chosen to protect their identities by going by the stage names Robert Vylan and Bobby Vylan 
I just got out of the new Ghost concert movie, and they dropped a surprise new single during the end credits, which they also released online at the same time the movie was ending on the west coast. It’s supposed to be a “lost” track from 1969 and it has a throwback psychedelic vibe, with protest-song lyrics about the fear of nuclear destruction, police states, the killing of the Kennedys, and a prayer for peace in the far-off future of 2024. I’ve probably listened to it about a dozen times in the two hours since it came out.
