"You make me feel like a worm"??

I went hiking with my Dad this weekend up in Maine.

Driving home, a bit sleepy, I was flipping through the dial and heard a pretty good-sounding song. It had a definite pulsing New Wave vibe to it, though it melded that with some grungy guitars, and a singer who, when he hit the high notes in the chorus, sounded a bit like Scott Weiland.

Here’s the thing: That chorus…I wasn’t paying much attention, so I can’t be sure. The song seemed to be about some lost love, generally positive about whoever the writer was reminiscing about. Then he busts loose with:

*You make me feeeeel like a worm
You make me feeeeel like a worm
Your worm
*

The fack? I kinda liked the song, and would consider downloading it if I could just find it. Nobody seems to have written a song about feeling like a worm, though, so I’ve not had much luck. Any ideas who this is?

I feel like such a naff old fart. “Kids these days and their rock ‘n’ roll! What the Hell are they singing about, anyway! It’s all gibberish!”

Try “Dakota” by the Stereophonics - I’m pretty sure that’s the song you’re looking for. It sounds like they’re singing “a worm” or “Your worm”, but they’re actually singing “the one”. Yes. Really.

Maybe this?

Stereophonics’, “Dakota”
Misheard Lyrics:
You make me feel like a worm
You make me feel like a worm
A worm.
Original Lyrics:
You make me feel like the one
You make me feel like the one
The one.

Holy crap. Thanks, you two!

Oh my freaking word, that is some funny shit. At least I wasn’t the only person who got “you make me feel like a worm” out of it. I checked out a sound file, and that is indeed the correct song.

Ohhhhhhhh, boy, I amuse myself with my idiocy. Sometimes.

Yeah, well, sometimes you feel like a worm. Sometimes you don’t.

But do they make you feel like a natural worm?
