I think it may have been inspired by their Greatest hits album released this week.

Bon Jovi is one of my all time favourite bands and I always thoroughly enjoy this song.
It was released as a single in 1994 and taken from their Album Crossroads. It was their biggest selling single making it high into the top ten in a few different country's such as:

• Australia 
• Germany
• U.S

Bon Jovi have released eleven albums, 3 compilation albums and one live album. They formed in 1983 and are still going now. 

Did you know:

1. In 2006 they were inducted into the UK music hall of fame.
2. in 2004 they got the Award of Merit at the American Music Awards.
3. Jon and Richie (two band members)  were inducted into the song writers hall of fame in 2009.

Anyone for breakfast at Tiffany's?

I've really struggled to find an earworm today. Infact i'm not sure you can call it an earworm if you got it in your head by default.

Never the less I do have a song in my head now. Its been a long day involving a long drive down to Devon. My boyfriend and I made a 'road trip' play list and the old classic 'Breakfast at Tiffany's by Deep Blue Something' happened to come on.

I sang my heart out at the chorus to say the least. As did he (even if he doesn't want to admit it).

"I said what about,
Breakfast at Tiffany's,
she said I think I remember that film and
if I recall I think we both kinda liked,
and I said well thats, the one thing we've got."

Deep Blue Something released this song in 1995. It hit the number one spot in the UK and was their best song to date.

The background to the story is quite simply that he and his girlfriend are having issues, pretty much breaking up and in a desperate attempt to save the relationship he searches for something they still have in common. This is the Film Breakfast at Tiffany's. 


Therefore, Breakfast at Tiffany's inspired the song.

Breakfast at Tiffany's is a popular 1961 Audrey Hepburn film.

For those who haven't seen the film Holly (Audrey Hepburn) is an extrovert, classy young care free woman who eats pastry's whilst staring into the jewellery shop Tiffany's. She then continues on, to get stuck in romantic, dramatic love triangle.

The answer is Blowin in the wind

I've been up an hour at the most and when I wondered what my Earworm was, well the answer was 'blowin in the wind'.

Yes, Bob Dylan - Blowin in the wind is the song of the day. Ask me why, I couldn't tell you.

I think it's a fair few to be honest.

This is quite a relaxed song. Most people view it as a song questioning freedom and peace. The Lyric:

"How many times must the cannon balls fly, before they're forever banned."

Is a good example of why people would consider it just that. It questions, perhaps whether or not these weapons will ever be banned because maybe if they were, peace may be more likely.?

I don't personally think it would make any difference and this world is one where peace is rare in all forms. Anyone agree?

'Blowin in the wind' was one of the first songs he release back in 1962 on his second album 'The Freewheelin''. 

Dylan is a man of many talents, he has published three books with his drawings and paintings in. He has released 54 albums since 1962, almost one every year sometimes two a year. He expresses himself creatively and has a lot to say. 


Did you know:

• Blowin in the wind (as well as a couple other songs by Dylan) became anthems for the US Civil rights and anti-war movements.
• In 1999 it was conducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
• It came 14th on 'The Rolling Stones' magazine list of 500 GREATEST SONGS OF ALL TIME.

I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else.

teThis morning I got up, jumped in the shower and there, in that place where everyone finds it, I found my earworm.

Ellen Page and Michael Cera, Anyone else. <click here to hear>

I love this song, its such a happy, upbeat song, its a romantic song but hasn't got that low soppy edge to it most love songs have. I've never considered myself a romantic but this song brings it out in me.

My house mate mentioned it to me a few weeks back and its been playing in my head since.

 

We all know the song from Juno. A 2007 comedy directed byJason Reitman and writen by Diablo Cody.

If you haven't seen it already you really should it's a great film about a quirky teenage pregnancy and has fantastic cast:

Michael Cera - Bleeker

Ellen Page - Juno

Jennifer Garner - Vanessa

Jason Bateman - Mark

Juno won an Oscar for Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen.

Also won another 53 awards and was nominated for a further 39 awards.

I absolutely love the song on Juno. It is originally written and performed by The Moldy Peaches and I personally aren't too big a fan of their version. On Juno they sing it to one another and it feels like they mean it, the Moldy Peaches just sing a song.

The Moldy Peaches released their first record in 1996 and are a quirky look originally sadistic band. Not my cup of tea but this cover of the song makes them shine a little bit more in my eyes.

I'd also like to thank Siobhan, my housemate for bringing this song to my attention. 

Can you feel my love?

Most of you will know the Adele version of 'Make you feel my love.'

It is one of my all time favourite songs. It seems to have become pretty popular lately thanks to X-factor and a contestant singing it for an audition.

If anyone follows X-factor you'll know Rebecca also did a version of it on saturday night.

Although she sung it beautifully you all know how it feels to see your favourite songs copied on X-factor.

Adele's version on her 2008 album '19' is a cover of Bob Dylan who originally wrote and produced it in 1997 for his album 'Time out of mind'.

On her home page( Click here for Adeles homepage )she says: "The whole reason I called my first album “19” was about cataloging what happened to me then and who I was then, like a photo album" This is the only song on her album which is a cover but she's says it's the one that best expresses her feelings at that time.

She sings the song with such passion and beauty it makes my skin crawl. She is a Beautiful woman with a Beautiful, Original voice and it almost seems like the song was meant for her.

How do you all feel about it?
Has anyone else's favourite songs been sung on X-factor? Don't be shy let me know.
Hope you enjoy the song.
