I’ve heard this song a few times over the last few days, and it’s been resonating in my head for some time now. Finally had a chance to look at the video, and it’s a bit trippy. I think everyone will enjoy it. The song is also, very soothing to say the least, to me anyway.
Yeah, so, we were singing it at work yesterday. I forget what song we were really ‘trying’ to sing, (and really sing(ing) is also loosely interpreted as just moans, hums, and random noises in the office) but somehow we always ended up with the Brady Bunch Theme.
Perhaps we should do a Earworm TV theme week….hmmmmm
ROLLING IN THE DEEEEEEEEEEP. Sorry. Had too. I was hanging out with a few buddies today, and out of nowhere, my friend started singing it. So I joined in. And it was a beautiful moment. The sound was horrendous, of course, but our singing talents aside, this song was great until it became overplayed. Just listen to it once, and be done with it. But make sure to keep coming back to our blog! (PLUGS FTW)
Sooo, yeah, I haven’t posted in a while. After my short vaca, work chewed me up, spat me out, and chewed me up again, regurgitated me, and well, you get the idea. It’s been a bad ride the past few days, with the exception of some b-day treats and goodies, it’s just been quite gloomy.
In any case, my entry for today’s Earworm isn’t so much as an Earworm, but a state of mind.
It’s funny seeing them when they first started.
Okay, I think I’ve mentioned this before, but my musical listening range is rather diverse. This classic song just reminds me of when I was younger, listening to songs on mixtapes over and over and over and over again on the weekend road/shopping trips. One mixtape, that was made, quite possibly, by The Big Cheese himself, played all the time in my dad’s 2000 Ford Focus wagon.
I don’t know, for some strange reason, I just started to sing this song. Nothing triggered it; the only sound I could hear in my room was the clickity-clack of my keyboard and my air-conditioner churning by the window. But now it’s stuck in my head. Welcome to today’s Earworm, everybody.
Here’s the original song. Heaven by Bryan Adams.
And here’s the dance tune. Heaven by DJ Sammy.
I first heard the remix while watching a skateboarding video, and I decided to do a little digging. The song was actually an Arcade Fire song, and the originally sung by a man. The remix has a female’s voice. Both versions are amazing, I don’t have a preference. The original is more lighthearted, while the remix is more techno-ish.
(Wow, this is a surprise to me. Indie music is rising in my genre collection. I’m taking a liking to it. Oh well. Broadening my horizon, unlike a certain Mr. Bruce…)
Anyway, here is the video for the original song by Arcade Fire.
And the cover/remix by Mr Little Jeans.
Did I forget to mention that the cover/remix video has Alessandra Ambrosio in it? Yes? Well now you know.
First full day of Vacation, and a severe thunderstorm just happens to roll by, thus eliminating any chances of outdoor fun by the beaches of the Outerbanks. In the last I don’t know, how ever many weeks since the 2nd half of July, it’s been raining at a steady rate. It’s all good, since we don’t have much of a drought problem, but it just kind of sucks at the same time.
I don’t particularly like rain since being in the city with a lot of people, and being a tall dude, the umbrella’s just seem to be at my eye level, and other pedestrians just seem to not care. Anyway, every time it rains, we just start singing ‘Here Comes the Rain Again’ by the Eurythmics, and as it was doing just that, I started humming it again, and again, and again.
Okay, when you insult Take on Me, you cross the line. This is by far one of my favorite songs, and I am sorry, but if you don’t think that it is one of the greatest songs ever (or even argue that it is not music), you have no taste in music. It is a necessity on a list of top songs. For me, it would be number 7.
My buddy, who I shall refer to as Bruce for the sake of anonymity, and I were skateboarding at an indoor skatepark, and the stereo system started blasting 80s and 90s jams, and this classic hit was the first on the playlist.
I screamed, “YES THIS IS BOMB!” and Bruce said, “WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! THIS ISN’T MUSIC!”
..Oh Bruce, your musical horizons must be broadened.
Of course, none can argue that this music video is fantastic.
By the way… “HIT IT MR. BUTTERS!”
Ah, Thirty Seconds to Mars. Your lyrics are enthralling and exciting and ignite that curiosity in your audience. A lot of people like to question the lyrics from any band, and some just like to memorize the lyrics and sing them by heart. With a lot of the songs from the album This Is War, you can only memorize certain lyrics due to the complexity. Lyrics that get stuck in your head and resound over and over and over again. That makes Hurricane today’s Earworm. These lyrics. Just… Echo.
“Tell me would you kill, to save a life?
Tell me would you kill, to prove you’re right?
Crash crash
Burn, let it all burn.
This hurricane chases us all under ground.
No matter how many deaths that I die, I will never forget.
No matter how many lives that I live, I will never regret.
There is a fire inside of this heart and a riot about to explode in flames.
Where is your God?
Where is your God?
Where is your God?”
Those are the lyrics I pretty much know by heart, of course the first stanza is the chorus.
Here’s the short film that is the music video for Hurricane. (WARNING: NSFW DUE TO NUDITY, PARTIAL NUDITY, VIOLENCE, AND GRAPHIC SEXUAL DEPICTIONS)
And here is the lyric video.
Hey, everyone! The song stuck in my head today is Tokyo (Vampires & Wolves) by The Wombats.
It’s a catchy British indie rock tune, and it’s a song that’s been around for quite a while, now (released in 2010).
Sure, the song isn’t normally what I’d listen to, but it doesn’t hurt to expand your musical spectrum. I do have a few indie songs in my library, but I do mean very few. Less than 10, I believe. Maybe I should listen to the genre more?
The Wombats have been a band since 03, and it’s safe to say they have a steady fan-base worldwide, but I’d assume they’re more well known in Europe, considering they are a British indie rock band.
Oh, here’s the music video by the way.
