Today's Earworm

[Giggler]

Roam by the B-52s has refused to budge for the last week or so now.

[DCI Harry Batt]

Intriguing. I've had a couple of nasty earworms from the B52s in my time, but not that one. Wasn't sure I'd heard the song before playing that YouTube. Then realised of course I know it, but had no idea it was them.

I'd pay a trained professional to help me blot out Love Shack as soon as I heard those drums and the words "If you see a faded...", but I really like Roam. Melodically, it's lovely.

[DCI Harry Batt]

It is quite nice, agreed. Nothing like as horrible as the one you mention. Or the even worse "Rock Lobster".

Deviants into Blondie is a good back to back selection.

Here is Superchunk from their first album:

The Beatles - Lady Madonna

I love Rock Lobster.

[DCI Harry Batt]

As much as I hate it?

[Gangster Octopus]

Hopefully...

[Sean of the Shed]

I love Rock Lobster.

As do I, though Roam is better. I fucking detest Loveshack though.

[Benjm]

I love The B-52's up to and including Mesopotamia, afterwards less so. Loveshack is very annoying, if not quite as bad as their Flintstones theme.

Depeche Mode - New Life

[Benjm]

Liza Minnelli - Losing My Mind

[danielmak]

Vapors, "Waiting for the Weekend"

[Toby Gymshorts]

Ozzy Osbourne - Shot in the Dark

[danielmak]

Springsteen, Two Hearts. I always forget how much I like the driving rhythm of this song. Watching the live video seems so different now in a COVID context. I find myself thinking, "You really can't share a mic like that." haha.

Gosta Berlings Saga - Basement Traps

Since first hearing this CD in my car on Saturday morning, my 9-year old son has spent the weekend learning the synth hooks and basslines from this and so it is stuck in all our heads today...

New single from Bully:

[Toby Gymshorts]

REM - Can't Get There From Here

[Toby Gymshorts]

Faith No More - We Care a Lot

[danielmak]

Eric Burden and the Animals, "Good Times"

[Toby Gymshorts]

Today's earworm comes courtesy of upstairs dickhead, whose constant noise I don't usually have to endure during working hours Monday - Friday.

Ugly Kid Joe - Everything About You

[Amor de Cosmos]

Bruce Cockburn has always been "too CBC" for my taste (hard to explain but WOM will understand.) Also, he reminds me of Bugs Bunny, never a good look for a serious folkie (cf John Denver.) But I've gotta admit he has written some decent songs over the years. This is maybe my favourite, courtesy, of course of todays Q episode:

[danielmak]

Such a great song.

Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell

[Toby Gymshorts]

Lauren Laverne played this earlier so I'm guaranteed to be muttering this to myself ALL BLOODY DAY.

DJ Zinc - Super Sharp Shooter
