Songs Stuck in My Head #4

Welcome!

Over the last few days, these have been taking up residence in my skull the way wild turkeys like to hide out inside the walls of my house:

Biomusicology — Ted Leo and the Pharmacists. I’ll finally be seeing these guys in a week. Every other time they’ve been around since I discovered them, I’ve either been out of town (most of the time) or too sick to make it (last time). This time it’s sold out and I have my tickets, so I don’t have any choice. I read two different show reviews, and both talked about Biomusicology and how it’s played at every single show. One review liked that and said fans never get tired of it, while the other review complained about how predictable it was. I realized that I didn’t know the song (I’m not really a big indie guy, so I only discovered Ted Leo after Shake the Sheets came out, and I’m only familiar with some of the earlier songs. So I listened to this one, and then listened again, and then listened five more times, and then it’s been stuck in my head ever since.

Trigger Happy Jack — Poe. I was looking for some old stuff to put on my MP3 player, and stumbled on Poe on my hard drive. I dragged a few songs over, but haven’t actually listened to them on the player yet. But just reading the song title for this one got it stuck in my head. I think it’s magic the way it did that. I think it’s worth founding a new religion that worships this song, based on its ability to burrow into my brain without even being played. I’ve always wanted my own religion so I could take my favorite holidays off (The Feast of Maximum Occupancy!).

Are You Gonna Be My Girl — Jet and Mahna Mahna — The Muppets. I wound up listening to a mashup of these two songs, and it managed to get them both stuck in my head. It wasn’t the mashup itself that was stuck there, it was both songs separately. Mostly the Jet song, but every now and then The Muppets. Exciting, huh?

Ok, luckily I had another copy of this, because the database somehow got corrupted after I posted it, and letting MySQL repair it caused this post to go away. I guess that’s what happens when the server load gets up to 35. Bad server. No dessert for you!
