RSSFinetune Friday: Viking Earworm Edition
Because the modern corporate Viking usually cannot fit get his broadsword through the turnstile at the office, he must seek out other ways to vanquish his foes. One small, but popular way is by engaging in earworm battles to burn and pillage a foe’s brain cycles.
Like swords and capes, earworms are diverse and very subjective, but I tried to compile a relatively universal set of of them on yet another FineTune station. Use them to infect a foe, or to shield yourself from infection.
Chose your weaponry well, because these can be easily turned against you. Remember: earworms don’t kill people. People with earworms kill people.
If you think of tracks that I omitted or that don’t belong, drop them in the comments.
Good luck.

Hearing Wham! first thing in the morning is definitely not on my to-do list.
Not a bad song to have as your warcry as you engage in Ragnarok.

If I put a grenade on the table and tell you not to pull the pin, and you pull it anyway, well, what am I supposed to do?
The morning is the best time for learning and the worst to catch an earworm.

Luckily I went all day without that song playing repeatedly in my head. I used the hammer of Thor on my head to prevent that from happening.

Not to spoil what’s in there for anyone, because if you are listening to this, you have some masochistic tendancies. Just like Britney with the lyrics to “Hit Me Baby One More Time.” She should have stayed in the shit bin at Spinnakers. Or been in Playboy before she hit the wall at what, 27?
Some of it backfired, as I hear “Under Pressure” instead of “Ice Ice Baby”. And the TV theme songs are vicious. Tune in next week to hear the same damn 25 second clip again and again and again.
I had to shut it off when “Its a Small World” came up.
