Song stuck in your head? "Earworm". What's yours today?

I once had a comrade.

Do these folks have any connection to Paul Simon's album Graceland? His band included a lot of African musical elements.

Ever heard of the Afro Celt Sound System?


Here we go:

Def Leppard - Pour Some Sugar On Me.

This song --- when this song came on, I set down my drinks tray, and went out onto the dance floor. That was in 1983ish......

I was a cocktail.
This was my favorite song.
There were lots of great songs back then.

Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast.

Live in Cape Town, South Africa (2016).

Second time - but who else comes here?

Earworms are never one-offs ---- they keep slithering around in the fissures of the grey matter.....that's why they're called earworms!



I've posted repeats many times --- because, well, earworms.

Goofy location but a good song and this guy can sing.

first, a photo --- my sister in Cape Town got married one year ago to this guy......they have a house now, and he takes fantastic pictures.....



This was yesterdayish.

And also, when I saw this, it triggered the number first posted by halfoldman.....

That's it BuzzyWigs, the gateway to my home.

The Cape of storms.

Here an Afrikaans ear-worm on all the shipwrecks.
There was once no other way to the East.

Seekers, dreamers, wanderers - but eventually they all just became children of the wind.
One million the sea and storms took.
Their stories swept away, but still blowing in the wind.

Justin Serrao - Kinders Van Die Wind.
Afrikaans for "children of the wind".

I've woken up nearly every morning with a different song this week. No TV on, my daughters listen to music on their earbuds generally so...not sure where they're (the songs) coming from :/
Yesterday

This morning

My feet hit the floor and by the time I get to the coffee pot, here come the lyrics.

Bon Jovi - Lay Your Hands On me.

I always liked "Alone". I had a mad crush on a guy at the time, and it was one of my theme songs. OTOH, I went to see Heart in my hometown (a college town) 300 years ago, and they were too loud....I walked out. I did the same with the band "Kansas."

That was when they were both doing the college small-theatre tours.

a reply to: BuzzyWigs

Damn, I hate to hear that they weren't that good live.
I still probably prefer the older stuff before they went 'pop'.

THAT SONG is fantastic --- I've never listened to Pink before. It reminds me of some of my favorites....so---here we go:

yep

again.

Three of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard:

Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 Op. 46 Death of Ase




Theme from Schindler's List



And Adagio for Stings Op. 11



I don't exclusively listen to classical music, I'm certainly not a classical music snob, but I'd count losing the ability to listen any of these three as the equivalent of losing a cherished friend.
