  • Earworm Thursday: I Hear this Song When I’m Running Late

    I watched the original Adventures in Babysitting the other night, and this song plays a prominent role in the ending of the movie. But on a much larger level, this is song has the sound of what I feel when I’m running late, but still in control of the situation.

  • Earworm Thursday: It Makes Me Think of Weddings

    I’m not a fan of Daft Punk, but I don’t hate them either. They exist in the world, and they don’t make things worse, so more power to them. So, being that I know virtually nothing about them, this song is the only thing I now about them. If I hear it once, it does get stuck in my head, but that might be more the fault of Pharrell’s vocals, than Daft Punk.

    What I do know is that at one point I head this song all the time, and hearing it at weddings is the memory that most jumps out in my mind. Meaning, for me, this is a song I expect to hear at a wedding. Not that it always happens, but it’s what I expect.

  • Earworm Thursday – “Yeyo” by Esquivel

    I love this song! It always puts me in a better mood, and I know I want this song played at my funeral.

    My best friend from high school, who has always had much better taste in music than me, found a greatest hits album of Esquivel, and we just loved the hell out of it. To this day, I am still surprised that Esquivel isn’t more renowned. His stuff is great.

  • Earworm Thursday: Disco Duck

    This is a fun one to try to explain to my kid. And EVERYONE was doing drugs in the 70’s.

  • For My Nephew

    This one is for my nephew, who loves country music, was born and grew up in Texas, knows that the town of Luckenbach, Texas exists, but had no idea that there was a song called “Luckenbach, Texas.”
