Farin Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 here's a video the lyrics are actually quite funny (bababaaaa...) this is a wonderful song, a bit brainless but nice this is a magical song, you can listen but you can't see it so don't be sad, but smile and be happy and have fun with the music from your radio here we're singing a nice song, 100 percent g-rated not a word of sex or violence, those times are over we're not singing about these dirty stuffs come on, we would never do that (bababaaaa... shoobeedoo...) ill-humoured people may come at this time to lecture us about a lack of intelligent standards but for this instance we're already prepared and we're going to react like this: Schopenhauer, Hegel, Kant, Wittgenstein, Wittgenstein Schopenhauer, Hegel, Kant, Wittgenstein, Wittgenstein Platon, Popper, Cicero Platon, Popper, Cicero Jean-Paul Sartre, J-j-Jean-Paul-Sartre Schopenhauer, Hegel, Kant, Wittgenstein, Wittgenstein Heidegger, Sokrates, Nietzsche (booo!), Nietzsche (booo!) [smaller]and Beate Uhse[/smaller] soon the 3 minutes will be over, slowly it's going to be tough and so we're gonna stop now with this finishing chorus it doesn't hurt a soul, but it really goes into the ear and doesn't even mention anything about someone getting laid (bababaaaa... shoobeedoo...)

MuzikTyme Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Interlude... Does anyone know where the word, "Earworm" was coined from? I always thought it should've been: "Earwig." I mean, what would you rather have in your ear, a worm or a wig? Either one gets stuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeBB Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I've never heard the term except on these forums. It's a very ugly expression... can we just pretend it never existed? LBB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 's from German 'Ohrwurm' - but I dont know much more than that about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 's from German 'Ohrwurm' that's correct "Ohrwurm" is also actually the german name for the "earwig" too. I couldn't find much for the source of it being used in a musical sense though, only that it wasn't used like that before the 20th century, and that the english form came from German in the mid to end of the 1980s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just goes to discount the obsolete saying that "you can't bend a tree once it's grown." I've been grown for a long time but will never be too old to bend, i.e. (learn). Thanks guys. Both of you set a great example for the youth of this generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Glory Days by Bruce Springsteen & the E-Street Band is the most repetitive ear-worm. Anytime I hear it, it can get stuck in my head for like 3 years at a time. Now I'm going to have to live with it for a while because of the Super Bowl half-time show.

Farin Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 it has a distinctive early 90s feel to it (the saxophone solo eg) (overproduced?) but I probably heard it first when I was quite young, so it stuck to me - I don't think it's that bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
