Earworms on the loose - the 2009 May selection

I had a bit of a run at the earworm thing over at Swiss Toni's last spring, and so I point you towards this new set of earworms from my own poor self.

Sorry about one of them: you can guess which one...

Confession - I have fallen for a totally cheesy tune

Oh Lordy help me. It must be listening to 6Music that did it. I have to blame someone.

I'm completely hooked on the track "Two Doors Down" by Mystery Jets. It's complete 80s pop reworked for 2008 cheese, with added saxophone cheese. It makes no sense (the first line says he's in love with "the girl next door"; the song then proceeds to go on about, as the title says, being in love with the girl "two doors down"). It is silliness of the highest order. And the video just reinforces this ridiculous 80s excess. It is bonkers.

But, there is something artlessly charming about the song's character being rather reticent and nervy about approaching this rather cool, drum playing girl. And the invocation of Television's "Marquee Moon" has to be worth something, right?

I know, trying too hard. It's nonsense but I'm hooked.

Save me!

I've been earworming...

Oh my, it was fun to write up my earworms of the week.

And ST was really REALLY nice to me! Shucks.

I had a blast. If you fancy passing on your earworms to Swiss Toni for a guest-slot, then I'm sure he won't mind you letting him know...

"Buttercup, don't break my heart..."

G-ARGH!

Toni, dear boy, you will be the earworming death of me!

"Goddamn right, it's a beautiful day"

Darn you SwissToni, you earwormed me!

uh-uh.

Finger on the trigger let me tell you it's quite a scare"
