“and the sign said ‘the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls / and tenement halls’”

After several days of being earwormed by “Rhapsody in Blue” —which is not bad in itself, but it’d gotten rather tiresome to live in my brain, with that Always On—it has finally been partially displaced by “The Sound of Silence.” “Partially,” because now I’m hearing Simon & Garfunkel singing over an accompaniment of leaping jazzy arpeggios.

That’s … an improvement? … I guess?

Perhaps!

Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night

Had he been reading T S Eliot?

Have you heard the version by Disturbed? That one earworms me EVEN MORE than the original.

Brain mashups!

[thistleingrey]

heh, mashups. I've been getting weird hooks serially the past week or so, though not layered like this, which sounds both cool and potentially frustrating....

[larryhammer]

And you're pointing this towards me ... why?

ETA: Okay, that does at least get suitably furious. Vocals better than the instrumentals, which needed more ARGH to match.

[larryhammer]

Yeah ...

[larryhammer]

Package it up as Simon & Gershwinkel, maybe ...

[larryhammer]

Not impossible.

[telophase]

Because the MERE MENTION of the title gets it earwormed for me and I must pass on the misery. :)

[larryhammer]

Thus the phrase "share the joy!" no doubt.

A Rhapsody in Blue earworm would be like being on hold with United Airlines, forever!

[larryhammer]

Argh. Argh argh argh argh.

I did NOT need that image.

ARGH.

Apparently it's 'Sounds of Silence' time: this is what my brother sent me this morning.

Lol lol lol. Rofl, even. I just lost five minutes of time, after watching that, to aftergiggles.
