You bastard. 
What really drives me up the wall is when the earworm is a song I don’t even like.
Hey, that doesn’t have to be a problem. Lemme help ya out.
Actually, because of Snowboarder Bo, I’ve had Family Man in my head for two days now.
I knew I should never clicked on this thread. +1 for the Captain Lou Albano cameo, though.
Oh well. At least I didn’t get rickrolled.
Did you watch the whole episode? Because Method of Modern Love is pretty fuckin’ cool too.
No, just that one song (more than once) and I’m at work so I’m not going to watch another one right now (later though). I did, however, see that house and Darryl on This Old House.
Here, you can have this in return. Mark Ronson is the guy sitting in the background that looks like Ben from Parks and Rec. He apparently has a thing for taking people from different genre’s and tossing them in a room together and watching what happens.
Here’s Erykah Badu, Mos Def and a handful of other people from the jazz world that I’m not familiar with but seem to be quite famous (Zigaboo Modeliste, Trombone Shorty). I ran across it on a podcast somewhere along the line.
Bo, something else you might want to check into is CMT Crossroads. They take a country musician and a rock person and put them together for a concert. The last one I watched was Steve Miller and Kenny Chesney (doing almost all SMB songs).
Get Lucky by Daft Punk
Michael Row the boat ashore. Somehow, bored on a bus led to researching the Gullah culture and, well…
Ancestors
“it’s that little souvenir of a terrible year…”
“it’s that little souvenir of a terrible year…”
“it’s that little souvenir of a terrible year…”
“it’s that little souvenir of a terrible year…”
Make. It. Stop.
At the moment it’s Newcastle, an English country dance, because I was listening to that a few minutes ago.
For most of the last few days it’s been Guitar Town, by Steve Earle.
Not bad! I also like mixing up different genres to see what bubbles up; most times it’s pretty bland but sometimes (like with Daryl and Chromeo) it’s something new and brilliant. IMO the 1 example of brilliance usually is worth the vast number of clunkers you have to put up with to find it (much of life is that way, eh).
I’ll check out CMT tonight. Thanks for the suggestion!
The two CMT concerts I watched* and the handful of youtube clips I watched after that seem to follow a pattern. They do almost entirely the rock persons music in the rock persons style. That is, if you heard it on the radio, it might just sound like a live show. Maybe you might think it was the lead singer with a different band.
Either way, it’s worth checking out.
*I forgot, I saw the beginning of Journey and Rascal Flatts. I know nothing about Rascal Flatts other then that they exist and I haven’t seen (like, physically seen) Journey with that new singer. It caught me off guard, expecting Steve Perry and seeing a tiny little Filipino guy.
This happens far too often with current pop songs but Just Gove Me a Reason by Pink has really worked its way in there. Pretty sure it is the piano.
Thanks. Now I have a new one. Wiz Khalifa was getting old anyway.
ETA: That Sundays album is extremely underrated. I used to listen to it repeatedly for hours.
The Sundays are a perfectly cromulent earworm, I envy you (well, I don’t, actually, I listen to that album regularly enough as it is)
I scrub my face in the morning with Apricot Scrub by a company called St. Ives. So all morning I’m all kittens, cats, sacks, wives-- how many were going to St. Ives?. But then, in the car ride home I always, ALWAYS hear this song:
She’s up all night to get stoned
She’s up all night to get boned
I’m up all night to get lucky
I’m up all night to get lucky.
I know those aren’t the words but those are the words I hear and the words that ALL DAY LONG!
Still wanna know how many were walking away from St. Ives.
My current earworm, as I get ready to head over to Santa Cruz: Beach Baby by The First Class.
