earwormhole

It so happened that someone mentioned the word "bang" in #dreamwidth-support, and dreamatdrew and I both instantly got earwormed.

Now, my earworm is a classic, and is very well suited for me to then blame other people for my getting earwormed.

R.E.M. - Bang and Blame

( Lyrics )

I have been seriously into R.E.M. ever since pyrogenic introduced me to their music, so this is not a surprise.


Now, the song that Drew was earwormed with ...


Ricky Martin - She Bangs

The comments there are really not worth reading, unless you like ( executive summary )

With a few people decrying the prudishness of modern music on modern broadcast radio.

( Lyrics )

So I listened to it, and then watched the whole thing because I was too busy giggling about the octopus-merman (TENTACLES!!) and in short, I've been earwormed with this for about the past week due to excessive rewatching. As one does.

So the excellent erika popped into #dreamwidth, and between one thing and another, she mentioned The Wet Spots: "Do You Take It?", which was a staple of my internet-based hilarity some years ago. Naturally it popped straight into my head.

Both video and lyrics are less suggestive and more blatantly lewd.

I have been massively earwormed all evening with the Bloodhound Gang's "I wish I was queer so I could get chicks". (It's also about the effects of homophobic bullying, besides a straight teenage guy who wants to get laid.)

Why?

I just now figured it out.

It is pea season. There is a fry-up I do with potato, cheese, peas ... and sausage. So I bought some sausage.

Jimmy Dean.

Apparently when tiferet and I road trip together, we will wind up singing bits and pieces of "Still Alive" the whole way. One of us will start, and that will set the other one off, and we will keep on doing this until one of us turns on some other music.

Despite not having heard the song for goodness knows how long, this song gets stuck in my head regularly, often in the shower.

Lords of the Rhymes: Black Riders

( Lyrics are a bit cussy. )

Lady Gaga: Telephone (music video as performed by a bunch of soldiers)


...and now of course "Telephone" and "Bananaphone" are fighting it out in my head. NEVER A DULL MOMENT.
