  • Earworm Wednesday: Maybe I Pick on Paul Too Much

    But to be honest, the guy is good at writing hooks, both lyric and music, that just gets lodged in your head.

    Because even I…

    “Want a horse, I want a sheep
    I wanna get me a good night’s sleep”

  • Earworm Wednesday: I Bought the Album Because of this Song

    I mean, I’m not ashamed to say that, but yeah. I saw Wilco on SNL playing this song, and I was like sure, I’ll buy this album.

    It’s the jangly piano at the start. That’s the part that gets stuck.

  • Earworm Wednesday: I Got the Vax for Dreamer’s Disease

    This whole song gets hooked in my head every time I hear it. I swear, is there a more pop-rock sounding 90’s song than this?

    I would also like to note that the age of music videos taking place at a mall are over.

  • Earworm Wednesday: I Made My Peace with this Band

    I was a music snob, and it would be fair to say that I still am a music snob. Either way, I didn’t like 311 when they came out, or more accurately, when the “Down” single came out in ’96. And this song was everywhere, and it drove me nuts. I wasn’t opposed to the rap/metal genera when it was happening, just you know, some bands were better at it than others. But, as I have gotten older, and mellowed, I can say that my animosity toward 311 has subsided. They’re not my thing, but that’s not to say that they make bad music and make their fans happy. So, in that regard, I have come to respect “Down” as a song.

    The “earworm” of this song is the “chill” at the very start, which I still find very funny and plays over and over. The other one is the chorus, though I cannot tell you what the lyrics of it are, it’s the melody of the chorus that gets stuck in my head.

    Enjoy and CHILL!

  • Earworm Wednesday: ‘Cause Here I Go Again

    I know that technically, this is a “WINGS” song, but we all know this is all Paul McCartney. Not that it matters, but if I hear this song once it’s in my head for the rest of the week. I can’t prove it, but I bet Paul knew what he was doing when he wrote this.
