  1. #EarwormOfTheDay - This is, of course, also a #Christmas tune ('What Child Is This'), but I was listening to it for #Tudor-related reasons, in this beauty of a recording by Rosalind McAllister - 'Greensleeves':

  2. #EarwormOfTheDay finally #IWokeUpLikeThis with some #Christmas music - this somewhat extra but wonderful take on 'Do You Hear What I Hear' by Elphaba/Elsa herself, Idina Menzel:

    The song dates from 1962, a yearning hope for #peace following the #CubanMissileCrisis.

  3. #EarwormOfTheDay #YipHarburg sends up America's #ClassWar c. 1947 in 'When the Idle Poor Become the Idle Rich,' including some slightly naughty wordplay. It's like "O noes #socialism! jk"

    I was listening to this original #Broadway cast album in the last couple of weeks - very much a capsule of its time, natch; also charming and so tuneful -

  6. Forgot to post my #EarwormOfTheDay this morning, but here it is, a sublime and life-affirming tune by Jean-Jacques Goldman, 'Ensemble' ('Together.')

  7. #EarwormOfTheDay would've been more appropriate for #Halloween, but o well - it's the incomparable voice of #DrewSarich and other talents in this...er...

    ....well, it's a musical with #vampires, in #German. 'Totale Finsternis' from TANZ DER VAMPIRE: youtu.be/WgIpwNVBuOY

    I guess it came to me in the night... ;)

  8. So I stopped doing my little #EarwormOfTheDay a bit ago bc for one thing I kept waking up with the same tune over and over -

    but today it's #Donovan's 'Hurdy-Gurdy Man,' which is a gorgeous, haunting song notwithstanding the cheeziness of much of his oeuvre. Enjoy:

  9. #EarwormOfTheDay For a cheery (maybe too cheery) #Saturday, it's a #ShermanBrothers classic, 'Chin Up' from the 1973 CHARLOTTE'S WEB.

    Humourous warning: really really will stick in your head, listen with caution - and a smile.

  10. CW: dated classic rock tropes incl misogyny

    #EarwormOfTheDay Knew this would happen eventually - it's 'Hand of Fate' by the #RollingStones: youtu.be/3RGhtDjup38
    which is in the running as my favourite Stones #song; not sure why.

    It's a fine example from their vast catalogue of open tuning and misogyny, a strong narrative lyric and dazzling solo work from guest artist Wayne Perkins, but not really one of their immortals. No accounting for my regurgitative brain's taste.

  11. #EarwormOfTheDay A comforting "everything sucks but it's OK" 2020 anthem from Keb' Mo' with Old Crow Medicine Show: 'The Medicine Man'.

    Not, I think, literally about #AnthonyFauci, but I could see taking it that way.

  15. #EarwormOfTheDay: Woke up Monday morning with the big one from the #SexPistols in my head - probably not so much because I've listened to them a fair amount in the last few weeks, but because I awakened earlier and thought "I should get up RIGHT NOW"...and then did not.
