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.

Earworm: “Young Folks” by Peter, Bjorn & John
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!
Random Flickr Photo of the Day, Cheesecake Edition, Septemer 15, 2012!
So, The Big Cheese is out celebrating his best friend’s wedding and I will be the one taking over the RFPD today!
So, let’s get started.
I like pictures. I like travelling. I like taking pictures when I travel. I also like art. And especially graffiti. Or wall murals. See where this is going?
I saw this bad boy in New Hampshire on a small side trip coming home from Maine. It was a really cool mural, and I had nothing but a cell phone to take a picture with. My Droid Incredible 2, needless to say, did a good job with this one.
Moving on with the world.
Technology runs rampant, but schools refuse to accept it for the pure old-school opinion that electronic devices are distractors.
However, think about it. You can do your homework on Microsoft Word or maybe Google Docs and have it immediately ready on your smartphone.
Music assists many with concentration. Artists are an example of students that really rely on music for the inspiration.
I see how people can be distracted, but completely removing them from the environment? That’s just wrong!
The world is advancing, and schools need to get with the times. Let kids have their fun.
Earworm: “Forever” – Chris Brown
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.
Earworm: God Bless… We Will Never Forget 9/11/01
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.”
Earworm: School week special – “Say You’ll Be There” Spice Girls
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!
Earworm: School week special – “O.P.P.” Naughty By Nature
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.
Earworm: School week special-“…Baby One More Time” Britney Spears
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. =)
Earworm: School week special – “Informer” Snow
In celebration of the start of the new school year, (although i’m not sure if it really is a celebration for some.) this weeks Earworms will be based on songs that reminds us of school. Not so much as songs about school, but songs that when we hear them, reminds us of the day’s that’s gone by. Well for me at least, Cheesecake is still in school, so i’m not sure how good he’ll do with our special.
In any case, let me get things started. My first entry is Snow’s Informer, which was released back in 1992. It just reminds me of when I was in 8th grade, listening to it at my friend’s house after school, and hearing the ‘cool’ kids singing it or what not. To this day, it just takes me back to those day’s when I hear this song.
I still like hearing it every now and then, but for the past 10 minutes, it’s been looping in another tab on you tube, and it’s kinda annoying now.
So, I ask this to our ten’s of readers, what song brings you back to the good ole’ days.
I just wrote a blog
