The song stuck in your head right now

[Psy-Fi]

The Music Machine - Cherry Cherry

Saw them open for Saint Etienne years ago

There was a small surge of interest when she played concerts in 2014 (we were lucky enough to get tickets) and of course Running Up That Hill became super popular again last year (wasn't it?) due to the exposure from Stranger Things.

I also remember she got a bit of positive press around 2004/5 around the time Aerial came out.

I remember a really lovely article from the Saint Etienne singer Sarah Cracknell but unfortunately no longer seems to be online (this piece has a dead hyperlink). 

Since it's a second Saint Etienne reference in as many posts I might as well post a song by them

How the hell this wasn't a single

Already posted it in mashups, can't stop listening to it.

The line "you need to chill out with that mess" is one of my favorite in any song

Proof, if proof were necessary, that a quirked up white boy and a sassy Nubian queen can make it together

[Lexi Darling]

We need to bring back dumb novelty songs honestly.

I really like the rhetorical conceit: "there's more to life than any one boy, more than just one face to love... there's more to it than the eternal glow of a single passion... BUT if you love me like I love you then consider the above propositions recanted!"

La vie n'est pas un seul garçon, un seul visage à aimer
La vie n'est pas une seule passion pour toujours, allumée
Il faut de tout pour faire un cœur et bien peu, pour le défaire
Mais pourtant devant toi, j'ai peur, j'oublie les leçons d'hier
Je changerais d'avis, ce qu'il faut penser, au fond, je sais que le l'oublierais
Je changerais de vie, si tu le voulais, au fond, je sais que je te suivrais
Je changerais d'amis si tu y tenais, tout mon passé, je le quitterais
Si tu m'aimais aussi, je sais que je pourrais tout laisser
Et tout recommencer
Je changerais d'avis et je me dirais que jusqu'à toi, je m'étais trompée
Je changerais de vie sans me demander, où je m'en vais si tu m'emmenais
S'il n'y avait qu'une chance, une sur des milliers pour te garder
Moi je la prendrais
Et tant pis si c'est fou, j'aurais envie de tout avec toi
Si tu pouvais m'aimer

I overheard this one playing on a radio station an older relative was listening to and now it's an annoying earworm...

Bobby Vee - Go Away Little Girl (Original 1962 Version) (Remastered)

[Guybrush]

A very annoying song to get stuck on is this medley by Farmers Market.

Listening to any of the songs that appear in it has a chance if triggering this medley run-through in my brain.
