December 15th: 02. your least favourite song

I thought about putting the incredibly irritating Go Compare guy for this (it's reached the point where I will actually switch channels/mute the tv to shut him up) but I'm not sure he even qualifies as a song so much as blatant annoyance tactics to make you remember the stupid website. So, instead have this:

I don't know what it is about this song that winds me up in all the wrong ways. The annoying earworm of a chorus, the whiny tone, I don't know. I just know that I wince every time it comes on the radio. I haven't even watched this Youtube vid to check it's the right one because I don't want to risk getting it stuck on annoying repeat in my head.

There are probably songs I do *hate* more but I don't tend to keep songs that I hate lying around, so thinking of them on the spot is hard. This'll do.

This one made me happy just with the awesome Youtube vids I found!

December 16th: 03 - a song that makes you happy


There was only ever really one contender for this. I considered Tim Minchin's Canvas Bags or Bright Eyes' First Day of My Life (that is possibly my favourite music video ever; you must watch it) but, really, no song makes me more inexplicably happy than Boston's 'More Than A Feeling'. You can listen to the whole song here.

BUT. You don't want to watch it on that boring vid. You want to watch it on the Barclays ad where the guy rides the rollercoaster to work, don't you? Yeah, me too:

While looking this song up on Youtube, I also came across this marvellous Nirvana clip that makes it obvious how similar 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' is to 'More Than A Feeling' (which I didn't notice and now will never be able to notice anything else. And I like Nirvana; there will be more Nirvana songs in this meme).


And to conclude, have 'More Than A Feeling' done Scrubs style here.

I will actually go and work on the thing I'm meant to be writing now. ...After getting a cup of coffee, since I finished the strawberry tea I made to help myself write about an hour ago now. And I've written...77 words.
