Don't get too entranced with Blurred Lines you fall on the train tracks.
A funny thing happened over the summer: I started posting on facebook the songs that I would wake up listening to in my head, and people began to respond.
Why? I think the ear worm is a blessing and a curse of a phenomena. There's no consistency! It could be a song that has been played ad nausem over the summer, could be a favorite that triggered a memory, could be something out of the archives of your memory you haven't heard in 30 years.
So this is a list of the tunes that buzzed me this summer:
Shout! The Isley Brothers - This is the one that convinced me there's a non-stop Polish wedding reception going in my head.
Prince Ali, Robin Williams from Aladdin - blame judging Basic Skills.
El Paso, Marty Robbins - on dad's birthday. Awesome.
Voices Carry, Til Tuesday - Dave was reading Al Jorgenson's biography in the bathroom and he mentioned this Amiee Mann song was about him.
Josie, Steely Dan - I think the line "When Josie gets home, from school." got lodged up there.
Fast Cars, U2 - considering ice dance, and if I do, I want my free dance to be this.
Dancing Barefoot, Patti Smith - once that bass line infects your brain...
Blurred Lines, Robin Thicke - once that hook infects your brain...
ANY theme song to ANY children's programming - it's intentional, I'm sure.
Dumb Ways to Die, Metro Trains - PSA out of Australia where cute characters do some pretty dumb things. Will loves it.
Royals, Lorde - New Zealand singer with spooky-pretty eyes, hypnotic voice.
