Current Earworm #1: The Safety Dance

Song: The Safety Dance
Band: Men Without Hats
Specific Lyric: You can dance if you want to, you can leave your friends behind, 'cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance then they ain't no friends of mine. AAAAAGH MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOOOOOOOOOP! (oops, when you repeat the "O" in stop in makes it look like "Make it stoop." ehhh... whatever)

Artist You Should Really Listen To #1: Graffiti6

Artist: Graffiti6
Key Track: Stare Into the Sun
Why?: This band has a very classic sould feel mixed with a kinda indie-electronica vibe. Sort of like if James Brown and LCD Soundsystem had a baby but left it to be raised by wolves. Then, as a grown man, it realizes it's not a wolf so it tries to get back to its roots. However, the evil sorceress Copyright left them with a really weird name. Will they find success? No one knows. Tune in next time for "As the CD player turns." But seriously, listen to them.

Random Fun Fact #1

Did you know that Angus Young of AC/DC tried a gorilla suit before moving on to his famed schoolboy look? Bet if he had stayed with the first look that AC/DC fans would have gone... BANANAS! Get it? Get it? It's a very clever pun, actually. You know, because gorillas like bananas? Oh whatever...

Really Bad Lyrics #2

Song: Say Hey (I Love You)
Artist: Michael Franti and Spearhead
Lyrics "My mama told me don't lose you, 'cause the best luck I had was you, and I know, one thing, that I love you."
Did he seriously just rhyme you with you? And then he rhymes that again with you?!?! Man, this can't be Michael Franti's writing, this has to be Shakespeare! Honestly, couldn't he have possibly used one of the other million words that rhyme with you?
Ex. "My mama told me don't lose you, 'cause my brain is made of goo..." errr... maybe not. I don't know! Don't judge me!
