For whatever reason, the instant I shut off my alarm this morning, the saxophone intro to Careless Whisper started playing in my head. This was 5 hours ago, and it’s still going on.
Please send help. Youtube music videos, catchy tunes, any sort of aural bleach. This madness needs to stop.
This video might be a tiny bit confusing, but essentially this is a dude on a balcony confusing people about the source of the trumpet while an independence parade goes by.
Here are a couple of YouTube videos of those songs everyone knows, but a lot of people don’t know the names of:
You’ll no doubt be confused about some of the choices they’ve made (very heavy on classical, and then they veer off into iconic film scores which opens the door to a lot of “how could they leave off [your favorite]?” questions), but you’ll recognize so many of these, surely one of them will replace Careless Whisper in your head.
I love “Sleepwalk”, that’s one of my all time favorite instrumentals. I love surf rock instrumentals too, like “Pipeline.” But those usually aren’t stuck in my head on a regular basis, usually it’s just something random, and I always end up just riding it out. If you want a replacement sax song, my money is on “One Step Beyond” by Madness.
Wholly Schmidt I enjoyed those as well although my experience was different than rhamorim’s.
If I knew the tune then I knew the song. I’m older and I consider myself fairly musically literate, but there were several songs that didn’t ring any kind of bell for me.
Per example…the Gaelic Storm tune. I’m a fan of the band, but I wouldn’t have been able to place it w/out the title that gave away it was from the Titanic. Yes, I saw the movie and could vaguely recall they were in it, but I can think of several Gaelic Storm songs I would know well before I would have thought of that.
