Oh, it's just too easy with the song references. Anyway, on today's listening rotation "Superfly" which contrasted with the white trash special "Billion Dollar Babies". A veritable smorgasboard, and I wonder how on earth I managed to walk anywhere before I had an MP3 player. I just wish I had more memory on it, then I would cut loose with all those nostalgia tracks. I might even go a bit stupid and put on music I really don't like but find funny once every 2 years. Rather like Sadeness by Enigma. On the subject of that, my flatmate tried to horrify me with the video of that last night. Foolish! She should know that I can countenance that filth. I was vindicated when she had to turn it off, being aurally polluted. Admittedly it took me some minutes to return from my safe space but I triumphed on the day.
I was a bit hurt when everyone started slagging off Plush by the Stone Temple Pilots though, I have such a nostalgic affection for that song. Scott Weiland looks almost normal in the video and the absense of lace up silver trousers is a tremendous relief.
Sadly it's never that kind of song that gets stuck in my head at work. Today some of the worse ones I've had:
MMmm MMMmm MMMMmm mmmmm - Crash Test Dummies
Nobody Home - Pink Floyd
Only Want to be with you - Hootie and the Blowfish (related to the first, they are linked in my mind)
Usually the only solution for me is to fall back on some horrendous yet more benign song to take over. Like Yellow River, or Those Were the Days. Or I was made for Loving You. But in light of a previous post I have a new weapon in the arsenal. I think Congo Man would be an excellent fury & would double as an autoexorcism if I got the chanting just right.
Failing that it will be back to Moonlight Shadow or Brandy

i wasn't trying to horrify you with sadeness! i was trying to impress you!
That's sick, sick I tell you - but it certainly made an impression.
