Earworms
"An earworm, sometimes known as a brainworm, sticky music, stuck song syndrome, or Involuntary Musical Imagery is a catchy piece of music that continually repeats through a person's mind after it is no longer playing."
I thought it might be fun to discuss our most recent stuck songs. I realize these usually don't happen on a daily basis, but it happens enough to me to warrant a fun discussion.
My current earworm is "Black Velvet" by Alannah Myles.

Everything Counts - Depeche Mode. Saw that on BBC TOTP and couldnt get it out of my head - had to buy the 12" single. I think the repeated theme of descending dissonant chords and dark vocals and gated trashy percussion juxtaposed with the lyrical sounding melodica was extremely innovative and an unusual highly artistic creation that oozed tension. In fact that whole album, Construction Time again, was amazing - the track "pipeline" had a ping pong ball for added percussive effect! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=o9ELnxa2jvY Sometimes referred to as the first industrial song...although Money by Pink Floyd was much earlier. This album spawned almost a genre in itself as folks experimented - like the RHCP did on BSSM with the track Breaking the Girl. |
I would also add Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds Red Right Hand this song sticks in my head also - Nick also picked up on the wave of industrial sound in the 80's - in his case triggered from association with a band member from Einstürzende Neubauten. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RrxePKps87k |
