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: Spice Girls – Wannabe

We are near the end of our all girl Earworm week, and to commemorate that, let’s get some girl power on.  Pop super group, Spice Girls ruled the waves back in the late 90’s.  I mean, 5 amazingly attractive British girls prancing about.  What more can a hormonal college kid ask for back then.  (Ok, lots more, but you get the drift)  Whatever Zigazig ah is, I want to to it w/ all five of them. LoL Enjoy!

Earworm: M2M – Don’t Say You’ll Love Me

M2M is a Norwegian pop duo that briefly came to our consciousness in the late 90’s when their song ‘Don’t Say You’ll Love Me’ was a song that was in the first Pokemon movie.  I have no idea why I thought of them all of a sudden, and why I was sort of humming their song at some point today.  It worked out well, since they are the next entry in our ‘All Female’ Earworm week.

 

Earworm: Beethoven’s “Fifth Symphony” (NSFW)

Classical music puts me to sleep. It’s relaxing, it’s solid, it’s just what it is. Classic.

Twerking however…………. Twerking. It’s fantastic. Sometimes it can be what we kids today call “ratchet” but other times it can be classy.

I have no words.

Ladies and gentlemen, watch this when you can do it shamelessly. ClASSical performance right here.

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: Tiffany – I Think We’re Alone Now

Day 2 of our female artist earworm week, and today we shall share with you another 80’s pop icon, Tiffany.  Her and Debbie Gibson battled it out back in the day.  I do however prefer more of Debbie’s songs.  Anyway, enjoy this great 80’s hit.

Earworm: “Changing of the Seasons” by Two Door Cinema Club

In honor of the release of their new EP, I’m going to give you all a heads up on the first song to be released off their upcoming album. This song has been out for a few months now, but damn, it’s still good, and the two (or three, depending on your region) songs that released on the EP titled after the first single aren’t slacking either.

The titular track is the bee’s knees. Yeah. It’s that good to me that I had to use some retro lingo to describe how much I fucking liked it.

Have a listen to this track.

Oh, and enjoy the video, I did. It makes zero sense. I love it when things make no sense.

Earworm: “Kids” by Two Door Cinema Club

Seldom heard songs always make me happy. Being as I’ve only been comprehensively browsing the internet for, oh, say, four years of my life, I’m bound to have missed some gems from my favorite bands since they were probably making music way before I could understand what the internet even entailed.

Two Door Cinema Club made its fame through myspace, yeah, remember myspace? Timberlake’s social networking platform. Yeah.

Two Door Cinema Club dropped EPs on that site back when it was relevant, and have yet to rerelease some of the songs. I do believe three of the five songs from their first EP made their debut album, Tourist History, but the one song that I listen to over and over again happens to be Kids, a song that is credited to be on the Tourist History tracklist for the Japanese release.

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.
