The Smiths - How Soon is Now?

Timeless.

This was already old when I was high school

One listen, and I've been hooked ever since.

It has such an eerie quality that has always blown my mind.

That guitar riff with headphones!

YES.

This week's #JukeboxFridayNight (and so also #JukeboxSometimeOrOther) theme is the very fun #SongsThatGetStuckInYourHead.

As you might have gathered, I am *very* susceptible to earworms, and they can be triggered off by so many things - something I heard 3 days ago, a word or a phrase, something that sounds like a sound in a song, and so on.

My first offering this week is what I have in my head right now.

This may have been shared already, but it is an absolute tune, so I don't care. I think it's quite funny that I, the person who is not really interested in sport at all, and has been living in Wales for all my adult life after growing in England, still love this song.

I'm allowing myself one song for Jukebox Friday Night before I get down (allegedly) to work. This is such a wonderfully energetic opener.

No score after extra time - Thousand Yard Stare

The theme for #JukeboxFridayNight (#JukeboxSomeTimeOrOther at 9am) is #GamesWePlay. And although this can relate to many things, I'm going to pick out a few songs about or adjacent to sport. Starting with some cricket.

This is a charming little ditty about a former Middlesex and England off-spinner who took 153 Test wickets at an average of 32.22.

Fuckin' 'ell!

The theme for #JukeboxFridayNight / #JukeboxSometimeOrOther this week is #OutOfControl.

Genuinely surprised that this hasn't crossed my timeline yet (and apologies to anyone who has posted it, I might have missed it). It was the song that came straight into my head when I read the prompt earlier, and has been an earworm all morning.

Joy Division - She's Lost Control

#music #JoyDivision #PostPunk

I could be doing useful things like getting ready for the day, or I could be posting a ridiculously early (UK time at least) suggestion for this week's #JukeboxFridayNight (it's definitely #JukeboxSometimeOrOther this week.) The theme is #OutOfControl, and this song is, to my mind, about all those people in (or want to be) top positions in governments and companies that are turning the world into a very strange place.

One of these days I'll be able to add a hashtag without going through all the symbol keyboards to find the # (even though it's right there on the first page) and adding capital letters in the wrong place. Until then, there's another song.

You know, I don't think Mr Wells is offering extracurricular support in reading, writing and arithmetic in this song.

I guess I'll start #JukeboxFridayNight #JukeboxSometimeOrOther now, as I've not got much else to do today. The theme is #SchoolsOut, and this is my first offering.

Schooldays - the McGarrigle Hour (featuring Kate and Anna McGarrigle Loudon, Martha and Rufus Wainwright & Chaim Tannenbaum)

Lots of travelling today, so I'll start the #JukeboxFridayNight (#JukeboxSomeTimeOrOther) early and likely finish early too.

The theme is #SchoolsOut, as schools the world over start their seasonal breaks around this kind of time.

This is a very obvious choice, so apologies if anyone has already picked a version of it. School Days Over, a folk standard by Ewan MacColl. I've gone for The Dubliners' recording of the song, which is perhaps the best known, but many many British and Irish folk musicians have done this down the years.

Last one for today. I don't know enough Dutch / Flemish to be certain that this fits the theme, so I'm going purely by the title and feel.

Winterlicht - Jaune Toujours

So I might be pushing the boundaries a bit with this one, as the only connection is the fact that December is a month in winter up here. But the December in question in this is a person, not a month.

Made it to the ferry port and have a couple of hours to wait, so here's another offering. Staying folky for the time being. It's a song about frost, and Napoleon, because the two go together apparently.

Jack Frost - Waterson Carthy

Ok, I am going to make a start on #JukeboxFridayNight / #JukeboxSometimeOrOther as I have a bit of time before I need to start today's travels. The theme is #MidwinterTunes, which makes sense given the starting place of this hashtag.

My first choice is a folk song that talks about social conditions that sound very similar to what we have today.
