Earworm: Still into you – Paramore

My favorite song of 2013.  I cannot get enough of this song, partially because I feel the same towards my soon to be wife.  It’s really something when you find that someone, and they make you feel that way.  I also love their self titled album.  Go pick it up if you haven’t done so.

Earworm: The Great Escape – Boys Likes Girls

This song came out some four years ago, it was quite catchy then, but it (or the group) never really took off with me. I did hear this recently, and I have been humming it since. It’s not a bad song, but it’s just not great either. It sounded a lot like the song’s that were coming out at the time, which is why Boys Likes Girls never really stood out in my mind.

Earworm: Britney Spears – Stronger

Wrapping up our all female Earworm week, I give to you probably my biggest pop crush back in the day.  Ms. Spears was a constant for me in my mix CD‘s, a constant in my PC wall papers, and just a constant.  Her breakout hit ‘Baby One More Time‘ had her dressed up in a catholic school girl uniform, and like so many other dudes that denied even getting a stiffy for her, I was hooked.

Her music, is not bad, not great, but not bad.  It is your typical pop, bubbly stuff, but it was catchy.  I don’t listen to her stuff much these days, as my musical taste sort of out grew her style.  In any case, I did an Earworm for ‘Baby One More Time’ already, so I give to you ‘Stronger’.  It’s only fitting since, around this time last year, super storm Sandy was creeping up on us, and a lot of the northeast USA (which is where I am) got ravaged.  Stuff was destroyed, lives were lost, but like what a part of the song say’s, ‘Stronger than yesterday’ and I think a lot of us are just that, Stronger, we survived that great tragedy, and we are stronger now than yesterday.

Earworm: Katy Perry – Hot N Cold

An old favorite, since they’ve been playing her new single ‘Roar’, it sort of brought me back 5 years ago when this song was her big hit (OMG it’s been five years already?!).  I sort of have an attachment to this song, since at the time, I was going through some relationship woes, and I saw myself as the guy that she was talking about.  Anyway, here’s the video.  Enjoy!

 

Earworm: Applause – Lady GaGa

I used to not like Lady GaGa.  Not that her music is bad, but they just overplayed her music a few years ago.  But for some reason, when this song came out, I instantly liked it.  Maybe it’s the beat, maybe it sounds a bit different from the stuff that’s been on the airwaves recently.  In any case, this still continues our all female Earworm week, and I did jump from the 80’s  to today’s music.  Enjoy!

Earworm: Banarama – Cruel Summer

Continuing our female earworm week, I give you an 80’s trio of women that pumped out a few hits.  Here’s a catchy tune that’s sort of inline with our weather now.  Some reason, summer temp’s are still creeping in, and I thought this song was very fitting.

Earworm: Ylvis – The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?)

My fiancee played this for me this weekend, and it is in a true sense an earworm, since I cannot get this damn tune out of my head.  It’s meant to be silly, and it’s just that silly and ridiculous.  Watch for yourself.

Earworm: Imagine Dragons – Radioactive

One of the newer bands that has come out recently that I actually like.  They have a nice beat, and doesn’t sound like the rest of them.  Anyway, their video for Radioactive is pretty weird.  It has Lou Diamond Phillips as the ring leader for some underground stuffed animal/puppet fighting ring.  Anyway, watch for yourself if you haven’t already.

 

Earworm: Michael Franti & Spearhead – I’m Alive (Life Sounds Like)

I don’t hear this song much, but when I do, it lifts up my mood.  It’s just a catchy song, and it gets me whistling through out the day.  I hope it lifts up your mood to as it does me.
