This theme song is one of the very best. Like no one’s ever was. It caught all fans. Sorry. Getting too corny here. Pokémon is hands down one of my all time favorite shows. This theme song is insanely catchy. Prepare to be Earwormed. (Although I couldn’t quote exactly find the real video to accompany this wonderful example of my childhood, this should suffice.)
[Edit: added video – Big Cheese]
And the full version.
I think I mentioned something about doing an Earworm with 80’s Cartoon theme’s. I think I was going to do it last week, but some reason or another, I didn’t.
In any case, here is the first entry. Due to the shortness of the videos, I will probably be doing a few per entry.
First up Bionic Six. It possible has one of the best themes to date. I didn’t get to see this cartoon much back in the Philippines. Only sometime in the late 90’s when they started doing re-runs at like 5:00 am, I was able to re-enjoy this classic cartoon. It still bring a smile to my face when ever I hear the opening drum beats, and the bubbly music.
Up next is Centurions. This one I got the pleasure of seeing when I was younger, and I remember playing pretend with my old friend back in the old country. I always used to like Max. “Man and Machine, Power Extreme”, was their catch phrase. The characters were all cliched, but as a kid, you didn’t care. I always wondered if Crystal ever got lonely up in that space station.
More to come tomorrow!
If you’ve been following my Earworm posts, I have an array of musical tastes. Impossible to decide what my favorite genre is, endless possibilities as to what I’ll listen to next. I’ve been following Frank Ocean and the rest of Odd Future for a little bit now, and Frank just performed on SNL.
He recently took a ride on the fame train and skyrocketed to fame as a solo artist with the release of his debut album, Channel Orange (and the ridiculous controversy that surrounded it. Who cares about his sexual orientation. He’s still a human). He was nominated for Best New Artist at the 2012 MTV VMA’s, but was snubbed by British boy band One Direction. Where was Kanye when you needed him?!
I never though I’d truly get into the whole R&B, rap, hip-hop, smooth type music again, but I’m finding bits and pieces to be really good. I don’t regret anything.
What I’m getting at here is that you never know what you might like listening to. My ears enjoy a lot of different sounds! And this song is one of the best songs out there, in my opinion. One of the best songs off of Frank Ocean’s Channel Orange, in fact.
(WARNING: NSFW. SKIP THIS ONE AND LISTEN TO THE SECOND EMBEDDED VIDEO ON THIS PAGE IF YOU ARE IN A WORK OR SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT!)

I don’t know how or why, but this song has been stuck in my head. I’ve been humming it for a while. The video is flippin awesome too. Takes a poke at everything on the intertubes.
Enjoy it!
I hope everyone had a fantabulous weekend.
Oh, lord. I thought I’d gotten this song out of my head AGES ago. But it’s back with a vengeance. Of course, I don’t think this is a bad song at all. It’s just incessant.
I heard it when I was watching a video by John Elerick on YouTube, and it was stuck from there.
WHISTLE IF YOU DARE!
A good buddy of mine is getting married today, (Congratulations to Dan and Julie!) and weddings, right now anyway, remind me of this one video I saw on you tube. Instead of the traditional entrance, the couple entered on Chris Brown’s Forever. Correction, the wedding party entered on Chris Brown’s Forever.
With the tremendous response to their wedding entrance, they have set up a website that points helping donations towards domestic violence. http://www.jkweddingdance.com/
And of course here’s the actual video for Forever.
Today is a day of remembrance.
Take the time out of your day to realize how lucky you are to still be here today.
Those men and women who fell victim on that tragic day will never be forgotten. Remember them.
Remember the proud men and women who risked and lost their lives to attempt to save the victims. They, too, were victims in their own right. But they were heroes. Remember the heroes.
Now, this is tonight’s first Earworm post of a 3 parter from me.
First off, Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the U.S.A.”
I was a sophomore in HS when I first found about the Spice Girls from my little cousin. She was going crazy about them, and had me search the interwebs when she came over for a visit. Back in the day, we had to dial up, and get amazing speeds of 28.8 Kbps. Imagine the speed at which we were to get info then. Anyway, I later found out one of my buddies in school also liked them, and i mean what’s not to like, 5 very attractive British girls, ’nuff said.
From then on in, I sort of followed them on and off, and with my buddy liking them more than I did, he’d just share his cd’s and gave me recordings on a cassette. (burning a cd wasn’t a household thing yet)
This song in particular reminds me of those days long gone by.
This would be my final entry into our school week special. Next week, Cartoon Themes!
I am down with O.P.P. even though you may not know me. Sorry couldn’t resist. I remember this song back in grade school. I didn’t get to listen to rap/hip-hop much back in those days, so I never really got appreciate it back then. Anywhoo, I just remember walking through the halls of my school back in 7th grade when this song came out. Not sure why, but I just does.
I just wish hip-hop was still this good. I find myself listening to more stuff from the 90’s and early 2000’s than the stuff they have out now. This song also, samples Jackson 5’s ABC, which in itself is a time-less classic, and I think to me anyway, this song too is a time-less classic.
Anyway, enjoy the good harmonies, and beats.
Continuing with our Earworm school week special, is a song I endlessly listened to while I was in college. At first I didn’t know who the hell Britney Spears was, and I didn’t really care much for the song whenever I heard it on the radio. But then, while getting ready for a late day class, I had on MTV, (or was it MTV2?) and they played the music video for …Baby One More Time. I was pretty much mesmerized from there on in, and my love affair (yes, I am confessing that I was a huge fan of Ms. Spears) for Britney Spears started. Can you blame me though? I mean the video starts off with her dressed up as a catholic school girl. I was a closet fan, always turning down the radio in the car whenever one of her songs came on, or just never really paying attention in public. Now, I really don’t care, even my co-worker Marky Mark admits to it, and we both were singing this very song when it came on SiriusXM’s 90’s on 9 station. She’s hot, and I am a man, do the math. LoL
Anyhow, this song really reminds me of my early days in college, sitting in my accounting classes, which was long and drawn out, and, well, thoughts of her and this song, and this video made some of those classes go by quicker.
By the way, my favorite part comes at around the 2:47 to 2:52. Those hip gyrations still melt me to this day. =)
