#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.

I was listening to this original #Broadway cast album in the last couple of weeks - very much a capsule of its time, natch; also charming and so tuneful -

#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.)
