"Here Comes the Night" by the Beach Boys is my earworm for today. |
|
Wonder why? I haven't heard it lately. It never gets air play. :shrug:

1. Not sure what an earworm is, but I don't remember ever hearing this on the radio |
|
Darlin, Wild Honey, and maybe Aren't you glad are the only ones from Wild Honey I recall hearing, and you never hear those anymore either. What a great album though...I love all that late 60's /early 70's Beachboys stuff (and equally love all the original surf and hot-rod stuff). Brian was, and I suppose, still is, a true melodic and harmonic genius............... Kind of a ridiculous tangent ,but Them's Here Comes the Night is a classic too. ( Van Morrison, speaking of musical geniuses).

2. That was a kick-butt album. |

From wikipedia:
Earworm, a calque of the German Ohrwurm, is a term for a portion of a song or other musical material that repeats compulsively within one's mind, known colloquially as "being stuck in one's head".

I'm always amazed at not only the political awareness of people on DU, but the musical knowledge of some of us ( not the Rush/metal etc fans, but again, to each their own I guess)... But I've prided myself on not just being a decent musician but being extremely knowledgeable about the whole history of rock/r&b etc. but I'd never heard this song nor of Jimmy Norman....( and of course equally impressed with raccoon having a relatively obscure Beachboys album cut running through his, or her, head). Hope both of you are having (appropriately enough) a pleasant Tuesday afternoon. abq e streeter
