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.

I'm gonna kidnap Sandy claus

This morning I literally woke up singing my personal favourite from 'The Nightmare before Christmas'.

'Kidnap Sandy Claus.'

The film itself is not one i'd watch again, it bored me a bit. Considering it's a cartoon I didn't find it funny, it is also supposed to be 'cartoon horror' yet it wasn't scary.

The song itself has a horrible theme, Kidnapping Santa. NIGHTMARE! That's not something that anyone wants to think about, kid, teen or adult. Although we know he isn't real he is the foundation of christmas these days. Yes I know its supposed to be a time for giving and coming together etc... but realistically its all about the spirit, Santa, pressies and DINNER :-)

'Kidnap that sandy claus' is the main part of the chorus

but it changes everytime to things such as:

'lock him up real tight, throw away the key and turn off all the lights.'

OR

'throw him in a box bury him for 90 years, then see if he talks.'

It is funny but they are drastic and disturbing idea's. Who comes up with these things?

It's very Catchy.

It was made and released in 1994 and is still a popular christmas film. Tim Burton is a well respected very well known director with other films such as 'Sweeney Todd' and 'Corpse Bride'.





Back to black

We all know the world famous song Back to Black by Amy Winehouse (click here to listen). I can honestly say it has never been a favourite song of mine, however I have always really enjoyed it.

I do often get it in my head because I think it's a really catchy tune. The subtle mix of soul and R&B is a fantastic style which only the voice of Amy Winehouse can pull off in the way she does.

"We only said goodbye with words, I died a hundred times, you go back to her and I go back to black."

These are lyrics almost every member of the public feels they can relate to as everyone thinks they've been through heartbreak.   
This song however maybe have quite a dark aura about it but i think it also feels strangely positive.

I must admit this is the last song I expected to have in my head today let alone for a second post as i'm in a reasonably good mood and this is a morbid song. I don't understand who has actually died in the video, is it her loved one? Has he died because of their lifestyle? does anyone know?

Maybe it's some kind of metaphor and she knows this is the worst case scenario if she continues in this lifestlyle.

Basically its a reflection of her experiences with relationships, drugs and sex. Thanks for sharing Amy! And she's shared it the general British public's favourite way, in the form of a well liked song from 2006.

Did you know:

• Amy Winehouse has never been in prison despite what many might think because of all her convictions. 
• Back to Black won 5 awards at the grammy awards.
• Back to Black was the third best selling album in the UK in the 2000's.
