Earworm of the Day: Rip It Up



A little Rockabilly to keep you from resting quietly tonight...

Of all the versions of the song I've heard through the years, hers is actually my favorite, possibly because it's a girl thing (although, cute as these two are, they don't hold a candle to Wanda Jackson) Still, every time I listen to Jackson, my throat hurts for hours afterward. Like Rod Stewart and Bonnie Tyler after her, she belts her songs out in such a dry, wild fashion, I imagine she must have had nothing left of her vocal cords but burrs, after a few decades.

Earworm of the Day: Stray Cat Strut



I got cat style:  the part where you nap frequently and chase imaginary enemies in the wee hours – the midnight crazies can be entertaining, but they're not generally recommended for humans. Wherever possible, one should avoid starting political discussions after the sun has set – and this should go double for when the moon is full.


So, if someone asks,"What's new?" I'll be answering "Pussycat, but no Tom Jones" and leave it at that.
