Santa Baby

My Earworm today fits my day perfectly.

My house mates and I are having our very own Christmas today as it is our last day alone together before the Christmas holidays. Exciting....

Santa baby by Kylie Minogue is probably the most popular version for our generation, altough there is millions of versions of it.




We have been preparing the Christmas dinner and dancing around singing separate lines each.
Me: Santa baby, slip a sable under the tree for me.
Naomi: been an awful good girl
Siobhan: Santa baby so hurry down the chimney tonight.
Then all sing together :D

Brilliant. The dinner smells lovely and it is making us hungry.

Santa, apparently has been to our house and put goodies in our stocking. You would think this nice gesture should bring us together but no, instead we have spent the day debating which one of us it was.

No one will own up and I'm eager to know who. Everytime we've got into the heated discussion about who it is, we have burst into 'Santa baby song'. It's great and it is dead Christmassy in our house. So come over if you fancy carolling with four off key girls.

Miss Piggy has done her own version of this song and I'm not going to lie it is my favourite as she is my idol.
Ironic considering I'm about to eat one of her kind.- Pig in blanket obviously. (She's not really BTW).



So Merry Christmas from house 4. It's been cracking.

Wherever you will go.

Todays Earworm in my opinion is one of the greatest songs ever made. Strong comment I know but I really do love this song.


The Calling- Wherever you will go.





There are two versions of the video. This is the first to be made and is shot in Mexico. The other is much more popular and is shot at the LA River. The girl gets her boyfriends name tatooed on her only to find him in bed with another woman. I think we all really sympathise with this character.


Check it out.


This song is absolutely spine tingling for me. I find that you really listen to the lyrics of it. 


I'll go wherever you will go -  the main title and lyrics that sum up the whole song and are just generally really nice. I hope someone wants to go wherever I will go one day.


All the lyrics within it are fantastic. 


So lately, been wondering
who will be there to take my place
when i'm gone you'll need love to light the shadows on your face.


The 3 opening lines which define the song and tell you straight away this is a love song, and quite a haunting one at that.


This is pretty much the only song The Calling ever successfully made and released but that is not lead singer (Alex Band) or Lead guitar (Aaron Kamin)'s fault. They were never able to get a steady band together and the label didn't help them out in the right places.


Band and Kamin are the original and only 'real' two members of the band and I don't know why they didn't just try to make it as a duo.

• The song was named number 1 Adult Pop song of the Decade by Billboard magazine.
• They were the band that appeared in the background of the first club scene in Coyote Ugly.
• It was also featured on Love actually and was confused as the Theme tune for Star Trek: Enterprise, when really it just featured.

So thats my Earworm of the day and I've got to say i've enjoyed writing about this one the most as one of my top 5 favourite songs ever. COME BACK CALLING. I'll buy your albums.

Year 3000

My Earworm today is Busted's Year 3000. I think it's a cracking song and not only is it their most famous song but also my favourite.



I had this stuck in my head not that long ago and for almost a week all due to my 'strange' boyfriend, who is the last person you would expect to hear singing Busted.

I used to think Matt was the lead, I'm not sure why but when I watch their video's now he really isn't. If anything he is the least talented out of them.

I've got to admit though I loved Matt when I was younger, quite fancied him infact, I think he was most girls favourite.

I think James used to be every bodies least favourite, I've got to admit he was mine. Now I look at him and don't understand why.

He is dead cute, he is the lead guitarists, vocalist and is the songwriter for the group. I also found out he taught Tom Fletcher from McFly how to write songs.

What ever happened to James? Come back James.

Busted were the boy band that changed boy bands, the previous being Westlife, Take That, East 17 or whatever that only sung and danced. This boyband introduced instruments and talent (not that I don't love Take That and Westlife. Great Take That are back together, love their new song.)

But anyway I loved my song today hope you guys do too.

Did you know:

• The band was originally called Buster, Geri Halliwell introduced them as Busted by accident and the band liked it so it stuck.
• Tom from McFly was in the band for 24 hours when 3 members left, leaving just Matt and James but he lost his place to Charlie.
• The kid in the year 3000 video is James's brother. James is the glue that holds the whole band together being the song writer and lead guitarist.

Tears in Heaven

So my Earworm today is an old classic. Eric Clapton-Tears in heaven.



I was totally shocked to find that two of my housemates, thats fifty percent of my house didn't know this song. I thought everyone knew it. I've known it from a young age.

I don't quite know what it is about this song that I like but I do really really like it and consider it a nice treat when it comes on shuffle in Itunes. 

It was written in1992 and was about his four year old son who had died falling from the 53rd floor of a building in New York.

Did you know:

• The song has received 3 grammys and has been inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame 3 times!
• He came 4th in the rolling stones magazine list of 100 greatest guitarists of all time despite originally struggling to learn the guitar when he was younger.
• He grew up thinking his mother was his sister.

Photosynthesis

Today's Earworm is by one of my favourite artists. Frank Turner - Photosynthesis.



Over the summer I saw Frank at Leeds Festival and loved him even more. Although he has a new album out, (Poetry of the Dead) He did perform a lot of songs from his second album (Love Ire and song) which is the album this song is from.

It's also my favourite of his three current albums.

'I won't sit down and I won't shut up.
and most of all I will not grow up' 

Lyrics of my life. I can be quiet, I can be sweet but I have my own mind lets say and I definitely do not intend on growing up.

It is not my favourite song on the album, that would be 'long live the queen' a song made for the breast cancer campaign in honour of a friend who suffered from the disease. However, I do love this song and it is one of his best in my opinion.

Did you know:

• Frank Turner went to school with Prince William.
• He was in a post hardcore band until 2005 when the band split but he wanted to continue. 
• Previous to becoming a singer he was an investment banker.
