My Earworm today is one of my favourite songs of all time. 'Eagle eye cherry - save tonight.'
Unfortunately, it is probably the only one of Eagle's songs out of four albums which is well known and if you don't know it.
I love this song, I think he has a lovely voice, it isn't too strong and it's calming. The background music is fantastic and is the bigger part of the song which I get stuck in my head.
I get it stuck in my head all the time.
This is his first song ever released, that was in 1997.
It was the first song on his first album Desireless.
Eagle Eye Cherry got his name when he was Christened. He was actually Christened Eagle Eye because the first time he ever looked at his dad he only did it with one eye open, therefore he became Eagle Eye.
Cherry is his last name.
He was born in Sweden then moved to New York to study at the age of twelve. He stayed on after to pursue an acting career.
When that wasn't working he moved on to pursue a singing career and moved back to Sweden to work on his album. Desireless which he released in 1998.
His songs have been used on loads of films including Billy Elliot.
Take me down to the paradise city
Todays Earworm is 'Guns 'N' Roses - Paradise City' easily one of my favourite Guns songs.
hear it here
It is a brilliant song by the band and one which is so easy to sing along to. I love it and have spent many a drunken nights walking home with my housemate singing it.
It has also recently been re-used for the Anchor butter advert. I absolutely love this advert and again i'm always singing along. It is one of my favourite adverts to date (yes I like adverts).
The cows working in a factory is really funny and I love the idea. My favourite part is the cow putting money in a vending machine for a snack and having the choice of different chunks of grass. It has made me laugh my ass off time and time again.
I think it's great.
The Band have been together since 1985 and the name came from combining two band members names together, although the band member Tracii Guns left they still kept the name.
Axl Rose is the front man and also every one knows Slash. I didn't know Slash wasn't an original member although he did come along pretty early and fit right in. I would even say he completed the band.
Paradise city was on their debut album apppetite for destruction in 1987 and was released as a single in 1988.
Although the best it did was number 5 in US charts the album itself was and is still to this day the best selling debut album of all time, worldwide.
The song Paradise City came about while the group were travelling in the back of a van and Axl sang 'Take me down to the paradise city' and then Slash joined in by singing 'where the grass is green and the girls are pretty'.
They then sang the first line again and Slash tried 'where the girls are fat and they've got big titties.'
Although Slash thought that was the better version the rest of the band didn't agree and thats how we have those great lyrics today.
They have won Ten Awards and have been nominated for 21. They have been nominated for 3 Grammys but never won.
Although the Guns 'N' Roses are great I think they've lost their touch lately and their old stuff will always be their best.

Somewhere over the rainbow
My earworm of the day is 'Judy Garlands - somewhere over the rainbow'. Famously known from The Wizard of Oz.
click her to see trailer
The film is based on her attempt to get back home after a tornado blew her and her house to an alter universe.
She makes three friends, the cowardly lion, the scarecrow who doesn't have a brain and the tin man who doesn't have a heart. They all set out on a quest to get the things they want from the wizard. As odd as it sounds it really works and is a wonderful film.
The Wizard of Oz was made in 1939 and was one of Judy Garlands most famous roles.
The film won Two Oscars and 5 other awards. It has had a special edition released and everyone knows the film.
It was based on the 1900 novel by L.Frank Baum and the film was released 20 years after he died.
It was MGM's most expensive film up until that time and although it is a favourite classic and one of the best known movies of our time now, back then it only had average rates and didn't profit much, around one million. It sounds like a lot but for a film it isn't.
Judy Garland died at the age of 47 after an accidental overdose leaving behind three kids, Liza Minelli being one.
She was married Five times the first 4 ending in divorce.
Throughout her career she was told she was unattractive and criticized despite being a versitile and brilliant actress and singer.
She won a tony award, a golden globe award and two grammy's. Along with many others.
She also won a grammy lifetime achievement award and was inducted into the grammy hall of fame.
Fantastic lifetime achievements if you ask me.
This song is one of the opening songs. It's probably one of the best known songs from the classic film and is definately one of the nicer ones.
It takes me back to my childhood and was one of my favourite films then.
It is a spectacular film with alsorts of quirky things going on, midgets witches and tin men are just a few to name.
She has a little dog Toto always at her side which I, as a mad dog fan, love.click her to see trailer

hey ya
Strange Earworm today. Imagine waking up with 'Outcast Hey ya' in your head. Never the less great, upbeat song to start the day with don't you think?
watch it here
The video is so fun to watch. The idea that they have a massive fan base and girls passing out around them is a bit egotistical, yet true.
I love how they make it look like there is a big band when infact there is just two of them. However the band in the video consists of seven clones of lead singer 'Andre 3000' and the other member 'Antwan "big boi" Patton' is nowhere to be seen, this is because this particular album is separated into two albums, one for each artist.
It's very clever and such a random idea.
This is not your standard kind of chart song. It's not romantic and it's not about heartbreak, Andre 3000 is simply singing about wanting no strings attached, claiming to not want things such as love.
"Seperates always better when there's feelings involved." As this lyric shows us.
This is just an upbeat, funny song that just makes you want to shake your hips a bit (as I always do) so just do it, have a little shake and it usually makes my day a bit better.

- The band Outkast only consist of two men. They were originally called The Outkast brothers but later shortened it.
- They have released six studio albums and a greatest hits and won 6 grammy's
- They originally wanted to be called '2 shades deep' or 'Misfits' but when they found those names had been taken they simply looked in a dictionary for the synonym of Misfits where they found the name we all know so well today, Outkast.
Your Amazing just the way you are
Yep, incase you haven't already guessed, 'Bruno Mars - Just the way' you are is my Earworm of the day.
WHY?
It's chart music for a reason, yes a lot of it is bulls**t but the same can be said about any genre or style of music.
Chart isn't my favourite kind, to be honest I don't have a favourite kind but I do personally get tired of some people judging others for liking chart music, claiming they don't like it themselves in some desperate attempt to be 'different'.
Now some people may genuinely not like chart and fair enough but the majority do. What ever happened to Each to their own? That's what makes people different.
I think Bruno Mars is an individual. He has his own sense of style is an extremely versatile artist and an incredible songwriter.
I love this song as do many other girls I know and a lot of boys. It's quite soppy but happy, romantic. Every girl wants to hear their boy sing to them (or at least say)...
"If perfects what you're searching for then just stay the same." awwwwww.
It's a lovely song and I am personally glad to hear Bruno get out there and sing a solo song totally by himself and get more of the credit he deserves.
He has done a lot of different songs either with another artist such as 'nothin' on you - B.O.B' and 'Billionaire - Travie McCoy' and I think he did the better parts in these songs yet they are better known to be by B.O.B. and Travie McCoy. Unfair.

This is the first chart song i've done so far and i've got to say, I am a fan of chart music. For some reason I come across a lot of people these days that seem ashamed by the fact they like chart music.
