Earworm Wednesday: I Think I Did This Song Before
Perhaps I should start keeping of the songs that I post in this feature… but I don’t care that much.
I speak of Kylie Minogue’s “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head” which I know came out in 2001, but I don’t think I heard it until 2002. I don’t know what it is about the song, but it always lodges into my brain, and just wont let go. When I used to make mix cd’s for friends, or playlists, I would always drop this one on it; kind’a as a palate cleanser because I would put too many rock songs in a row.

Earworm Wednesday: George and the Devil
Sometimes I plan these songs out ahead of time. And then sometimes you wake up in the morning with a song in your head.
If you never met me, you might not know what a huge Beatles fan I am. As such, I do have fun with some of the deeper cuts on their albums that most people forget about. “Devil in her Heart” is a song written by Richard B. Drapkin and recored by The Donays and released in 1962. Though a good song, it wasn’t a hit in the US or UK, but it made an impression on The Beatles. I always loved how those four guys loved American girl groups, to the point that I think they tried to copy those harmonies in other songs that they wrote.
For comparison, here’s the original:
