I was shopping in my local Trader Joe’s on Friday when I heard this weeks earworm song. On the whole, the Trader Joe’s near me actually has great taste in music, and it’s kind’a cool to hear songs that I’ve totally forgotten about.
Not that Aaliyah’s “Are You That Somebody?“is a bad song. No, it’s catchy as hell, and just a classic example of what an earworm is. At least for me, because I keep hearing that baseline and that baby cooing.
You have been warned!
I have no idea how “Don’t Stop Me Now” got stuck in my head. Somewhere over the weekend, it just popped into my head. Maybe I heard it on a commercial or a tv show, or maybe the wife had it on a playlist as we drove out of the City. I’m not complaining about the song, I think Brian May’s solo is pretty awesome, just don’t know how it got in my head.
Anyway, it’s Queen, so enjoy!
I would like to believe that I am not a contrarian. That if I don’t like or enjoy something, it’s because I have a good reason for it.
In that vein, I have never been a fan of “Waterfalls” by TLC. I have nothing against TLC, I think they’re a solid group. And I fully admit that “Waterfalls” is a good pop-music song, and deserves all the recognition and alcolades it has earned.
But I just never liked the song. Sorry.
Yet, “Waterfalls” does have have a hell of a hook in its chorus. When I hear it, like yesterday at Trader Joe’s, it just lodges in my head. Which means I am on day two of humming that song.
Not to get too political, but has anyone seen that video of Katie Britt, the Senator from Alabama, where they zoom in on her face as she figures out that they made a huge, embarrassing mistake in trying to “trap” Jack Smith over an Atlanta Hawks game he never attended? Its this video:
Ever since I saw that video, I’ve had the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme playing in my head on repeat.
