Earworm: “Horchata” by Vampire Weekend

What in the blazing balls is a Horchata?

Okay, so that’s a horchata. Why did Vampire Weekend use a Mexican concoction as a song?

I’m honestly too lazy to delve deeper, though. I like the song, it’s soothing, it’s fun to say “horchata.”

There’s no music video, but the live version is available. Oh, and this just makes their fanbase look like 16 year old hipster girls.

Earworm: “You Need Me, I Don’t Need You” by Ed Sheeran

Ed Sheeran. I love this guy. Millions of da chicas love this guy. His album, +, has received commercial success worldwide and his songs are blaring on most pop radio stations, Satellite or standard FM or otherwise.

His first single, The A Team, peaked at number one. This song is his follow up single. It peaked at number 4, and I like it so much better, just because the songs have such contrasting sounds.

You Need Me is nothing like the A Team, actually. It’s no ‘pity on the beautiful hooker’ song, it’s a, ‘screw you, I’m me’ song. Fantastic, really.

Here’s the music video. Get at it.

Burn me at the stake for this one, boys and girls.

Earworm: “Staying Alive” by [The] Bee Gees

Tell me, how can you not love the Bee Gees?

I often, while growing up not paying any close attention to music, found difficulty differentiating The Beatles from the Bee Gees.

My dad constantly had to explain to me, and so now I know the dire differences between the two British supergroups.

And I love them both.

I’m also an avid fan of BBC Sherlock, and hearing this song on that show was… thrilling.

Listen to the Bros. Gibb. Listen. (But I’d consider lowering your speaker volume, you’ll lose some hearing from them.)
