#EarwormOfTheDay - This is, of course, also a #Christmas tune ('What Child Is This'), but I was listening to it for #Tudor-related reasons, in this beauty of a recording by Rosalind McAllister - 'Greensleeves':

The song dates from 1962, a yearning hope for #peace following the #CubanMissileCrisis.

#EarwormOfTheDay would've been more appropriate for #Halloween, but o well - it's the incomparable voice of #DrewSarich and other talents in this...er...
....well, it's a musical with #vampires, in #German. 'Totale Finsternis' from TANZ DER VAMPIRE: https://youtu.be/WgIpwNVBuOY
I guess it came to me in the night... ;)

So I stopped doing my little #EarwormOfTheDay a bit ago bc for one thing I kept waking up with the same tune over and over -
but today it's #Donovan's 'Hurdy-Gurdy Man,' which is a gorgeous, haunting song notwithstanding the cheeziness of much of his oeuvre. Enjoy:

#EarwormOfTheDay For a cheery (maybe too cheery) #Saturday, it's a #ShermanBrothers classic, 'Chin Up' from the 1973 CHARLOTTE'S WEB.
Humourous warning: really really will stick in your head, listen with caution - and a smile.

#EarwormOfTheDay Knew this would happen eventually - it's 'Hand of Fate' by the #RollingStones: https://youtu.be/3RGhtDjup38
which is in the running as my favourite Stones #song; not sure why.
It's a fine example from their vast catalogue of open tuning and misogyny, a strong narrative lyric and dazzling solo work from guest artist Wayne Perkins, but not really one of their immortals. No accounting for my regurgitative brain's taste.

#EarwormOfTheDay A comforting "everything sucks but it's OK" 2020 anthem from Keb' Mo' with Old Crow Medicine Show: 'The Medicine Man'.
Not, I think, literally about #AnthonyFauci, but I could see taking it that way.

#EarwormOfTheDay OK, the brain is a day early, but 'Once Upon a December' from ANASTASIA. (This is the Broadway version.)
Early training in 80s films made me love a music box-based leitmotif. And it's a bit Christmassy, isn't it.

#EarwormOfTheDay This rockin' bit of lovable nonsense from one of the all-time great #RockNRoll voices, Ronnie Spector, 'Hey Sah Lo Ney':
Unless I'm mistaken, #KeithRichards co-created this late work with her and is probably playing on here somewhere. (They sing a duet elsewhere on the album.)

50 followers · 123 posts · Server mastodonapp.ukKnew this would happen eventually: it's the oddball but weirdly uplifting 'Double Dutch' "by" Malcolm McLaren, the quotes meaning that Malcolm McLaren narrates it, organised its creation, and lifted its components from only the best sources (see The Boyoyo Boys' 'Puleng'). Look up the music video for some wowsers rope-skipping.

#EarwormOfTheDay The super-catchy silly fun 'Shang-a-Lang' by the #BayCityRollers.
I first paid any attention to this song earlier this year while watching FX's show PISTOL (dir. Danny Boyle, about the Sex Pistols) where the characters are mocking it, but I said hey, I'm allowed to like it all -

#EarwormOfTheDay is 'He's So Fine' by the Chiffons - not sure how this got into my head today, as I don't think I've listened to either it or George Harrison's 'My Sweet Lord' lately - ! A classic catchy economical number.

#EarwormOfTheDay I first listened to Julie Grant's 'Come to Me' expecting bubblegum, but this TUNE, OMG, it's like 'It's My Party' fought with 'Greensleeves'and 'Greensleeves' won. A gorgeous haunting minor (ha) hit from 1963:

#EarwormOfTheDay is this sweet-as-pie ditty from Tommy Steele - 'A Handful of Songs': https://youtu.be/Y492Jc9IbxM
Very "Pied Piper figure strolls into town" along the lines of a number of classic introduction-song #showtunes, or something like Donovan's 'Hurdy-Gurdy Man.'
#TommySteele's diverse career not well remembered now, and dismissed as cheesy, I think, but it's worth listening to his lovely, fun voice from 2Is days to HALF A SIXPENCE and more.

#EarwormOfTheDay: Woke up Monday morning with the big one from the #SexPistols in my head - probably not so much because I've listened to them a fair amount in the last few weeks, but because I awakened earlier and thought "I should get up RIGHT NOW"...and then did not.
