My bro came round and played Rubber Bandits at me - now I have these in my head:


nsfw




Cultural note: 'a stag' is a stag do = bachelor party

Fellas was amusing enough. I gave up on Dads Best Friend after 2 minutes. Does it get any better?

I went back and finished the song if Dads Best Friend gets stuck in my head, I'll Sick My Cat On You!

:driving:

My annual earworm for this time of year, albeit a bit dated.

OMG fingerless lace gloves. I totally wore the shit out of those in the 80s

@ fargon

I felt bad about potentially implanting Dad's Best Friend in your head - so just in case, here's one to knock it right back out.

Man, that Craig Ferguson-Gabriel Byrne-mashup-of-a-ventriloquist's-dummy in the 1st Rubberbandits vid is perhaps the creepiest thing I've seen this year.:3_eyes:

The Rubberbandits have some seriously repressed (or, unrepressed) shit going on.

@Dana Thank You.

I suppose it could be worse. ;)

So Lil Griff is working on this in the basement:


Steve Gadd is sick.

aw HELL yeah!!!! HELL YEAH!@!




I was stunned to learn -- after all these years -- that Gadd was the drummer on Van McCoy's "The Hustle". It's not like it's his greatest work or anything. But it's crisp work. It's right on.

The Paul Simon sessions must have happened around the same time, because keys player Richard Tee was also on both "The Hustle" and "Fifty Ways".

so delicious!

sweet groove

On a date with Mother Earth!

You're shifting your *MOTHER*?! PERVERT!

L.O.L.

On a date with Mother Earth!

You're shifting your *MOTHER*?! PERVERT!

L.O.L.

I've decided The Rubberbandits are a bit out there for me.

Took me a minute.

Dude... and by "dude", I mean "Grav", not that *other* dude, the archaeologist.

Dude, you crack me up.

"I've got a horse outside".... Ok, maaaybe you don't like pretty horsies. Ok. And, I'll admit, I find the masks off-putting. Jarring. Unnecessary, unless they're in some kind of musician-protection-program.

Also, Griff:

Gadd-daaaaaaaaayum~!

Thank you!!!

earworm, *shrug*
eyeworm? oh yeah.



Possibly NSFW

:devil:

Dear Big V,

re: Boom Shack-a-lak

Thank you. Thank you so very much.:jig:

Sincerely,

Gravdigr

P.S. Damn you. That one ain't going anywhere for a while.:mad:

P.P.S. If ya ain't heard that loud, try it. I recommend ~1000 watts.:band::devil:

This has been in my head all day:

Masters of musical absurdism. That guitar work really nails the "sounds like two songs playing at the same time that don't really go together" effect, that Talking Heads and other post- bands have brought into mainstream awareness. For, like, non-prog fans.

Don't know if this is an "earworm" but I'll be god-danged if this isn't a masterpiece in composition, from start to finish.

those vocal harmony chords are like hidden detail in painting of olden days

:devil:

Dis been in m'haid lately:



Did another band cover this tune? Seems like I remember a lower, raspier David Coverdale-ish-sounding voice on the 'my sweet Nicole' part.

I didn't find a whole lot of info on it.

where layer after layer of mostly translucent paint, with a tiny amount of pigment, are laid down on top of each other, so the sum effect has a depth you couldn't have produced in one layer

Been my haid since watching Sqawk's Albert Collins Iceman clip:

I've had Stormzy in my head all week - the chorus for this especially ('where do you know me from?')




And 'big for your boots' as well. The two lines are competing ;p

I'ma let you finish but here is the earwomiest of alllllll earwormy songs of the 2000s.

This is the song under the dictionary definition of earworm

You know it -- and you know not one single lyric of the song, other than "Ahahahahaaaa"!!! Admit it!!!

Omg, I am not clicking on that it'll totally get st-

Fuck. It just popped into my head anyway.

:D yeah :D I was just thinking about Blur for some reason*, and that led to that. 268 Million streams on Spotify so far, people seem to like the song.






*"Blow, blow me out, I am so sad, I don't know why."

Nope, after seeing that video it drooled right out my ear. :headshake

Happy Birthday Robin Trower!!!:devil:





Robin Trower is 73 today, and is performing in Bonn, Germany, on his 60th b-day in the above clips. The entire show (:devil: btw) is on the YouTube.

Been listening all morning.

:devil: indeed.

and I like it better than the original. bite me.

Couldn't listen properly, other things going on in the room, but, what I heard sounded awfully cool.

:devil:

Probably my favorite Pink Floyd track.

Well done. Well played.

I can't say I like it better than the original, but, that's pretty damn good.

same song. :/

They decided not to screw with perfection, I guess.

I heard this for the first time last week. Since then, every single day it plays in my head. Such a lovely perfect little song. They say it was used on "Scrubs" but I don't know from that.

Everybody's got a hold on hope, it's the last thing that's holding me.

That was lovely!

What happened to

:lol2::lol2::lol2::lol2::lol2:

The other afternoon, I was on mini-Phono Safari(:fumette:), and the radio in GC1 decided to actually work for a change. The semi-local classic rock station was coming in pretty well, and they were just playing the soundtrack to my life.

It went like this:

Grand Funk - Walk Like A Man
Badfinger - Baby Blue
Rush - Working Man
Rush - Temples of Syrinx

And then they played Steppenwolf. No, not that song.

Nope. Not that one, either.

This one:



:devil::devil::devil::devil::devil:

That is the shiznit, right thar!!!

John Kay's voice is a fantastic rock instrument.

Phil Mogg leaps to mind, also.:devil:

You're not kidding, I saw Steppenwolf long ago, freaking great.

the same one as yesterday. And I have no fucking idea what it is :( I think I have it on CD somewhere, but I'm too knackered to look.

Oh they're the worst. The almost but not quite identifiable refrain.

At the bar a few nights ago, guy walks up to me, and says "What's that song where the guy goes 'nighty night'?"

Never met the man before. I know one of the guys he was sitting with, though, and he'd sent him over to mess with me.

A little while later, a bathroom visit later;), I walked by their table and said "The Eagles, Already Gone". Four people said, in unison, "That's it."

:cool:

got it. decided to apply some elevenacity. Mychem. I thought it might be them before but then couldn't find the track for some reason

I can't shake it out of my head.

I could think of worse songs to be stuck in your head, like this.

You've got a little mean streak brother. :lol:

My millennial niece recently posted this, recalling that I introduced her to the first meme she ever saw.

I've been humming this for a few days:
