$300

This song is an insidious little earworm. Although a catchy tune, the repeating lyrics will have you begging for mercy after a couple hours with this gem stuck in your head.
.
TODAY'S SONG:
"$300"
Soul Coughing
1998
.
INSIGHT:
I suspect this song is in my head for the following reasons:

  • It was featured on the TV show "House" several weeks back
  • I could really used an extra $300
  • Also, "iiiiiiiiiiiiiii neeeeeeeeeeeed for you to be reasonable . . . "

The last reason being greatest factor. This song hit me in the shower this morning while I was thinking about plea negotiations with an individual who has decidedly unrealistic expectations.

Mawell's Silver Hammer

I was not alert enough this morning to make note of what song was stuck in my head. I can tell you, however, what song I have been humming to myself all afternoon long.

TODAY'S SONG:
"Maxwell's Silver Hammer"
The Beatles
1969
.
INSIGHT:
This one's easy. I have been playing the Abbey Road CD in my car the last few days.
.
Today I finally got around to looking up "petaphysical sciences." I'll be frank with you, I am still not really clear on what that is. Perhaps her interest in this ambiguous field of study justifiably gave Maxwell Edison motive to dispatch poor Joan.

Missed the Boat

Finally, a decent song this morning! Not the whole song, mind you, only a select snippet was playing repeatedly in my head today.
.
TODAY'S SONG:
"Missed the Boat"
Modest Mouse
2007
.
INSIGHT:
It has been a while since I have listened to this album, so I am not really sure why I was hearing this song today.
.
What I keep coming back to is the especially wonderful part of the song "all our favorites were a'playing so we could shake shake shake shake shake." Even though it was only playing in my head, I still can't help dance along!

Poison

.



It's diving me out of my mind . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
this song's becoming quite a grid
Can't get it out of my head
Not thinking great thoughts, but this song instead


.

TODAY'S SONG:
"Poison"
Bel Biv DeVoe
1990
.
INSIGHT:
None.
You just wake up one morning and this little nugget of new jack swing is sounding over and over in your head reminding you to "never trust a big but and smile." Sage advice.
