Hehehe....that girl is a tad mean to the other man. She even admitted to it. She's upset because he wouldn't do his share of work. I'm learning all these new stuffs that he said took him 4 months to grasp. After two days, I'm already getting the hang of it. So maybe he is a tad slow. :p:

Damn you to hell UT. Every time I open up the cellar I get an earworm. Like walking in the rain and the snow...

Undertoad 10-07-2014 11:06 PM

Well! The only way to manage that is to replace it with something also earwormy from the same time period!



This song is charming somehow, and I don't know why. Its charm is what?

That it is absolutely ridiculous in every way?

That it was sung by a porn star who can barely sing, at a time when unlike today, porn stars were considered unclean and never made crossovers into any other form of entertainment? (Hint, I think in 1976 it was believed that with the arrival of disco, we were all gonna get laid.)

That it features terrible amateur musicians and is a terrible recording?

No. It's charming because it features a wood block, throughout! Not even a cowbell! And in the bridge, for a while, the wood block is struck twice on 2 and 4, instead of once. A bold move.

I'll tellya what blew me away, one time... when I realized that Saint Etienne's "Hug My Soul" (1994) references "More More More" by using almost the same opening line. The Et's Sarah Cracknell sings "Ooooooh, what are you thinking of" and duplicates the rhythm of True's opening line "Ooooooh, how do you like your love". It's on purpose.

And the song in general is 10 times better played, 100 times better recorded, and is sung by a true musician instead of a ridiculous porn star. And its charm comes from a pair of flutes, not a wood block. Flutes, always welcome by me in a pop song. Gorgeous harmonies, a sublime key change, a stunning arrangement combining full orchestration with modern sounds. So this song is a much more worthy earworm.

"More More More" hit #4 in the US and #5 in the UK. "Hug My Soul" hit #32 in the UK and did not chart in the US.

(note, this is not the official video. just ignore the video part and listen to the song.)

Well, that girl maybe couldn't sing, but boy oh boy could she dance. :lol:

And thanks for the new earworm. :rolleyes:

...working on it. Not doing very well though.

Lola Bunny 11-10-2014 07:35 PM

I'm not upset, pissed, or apprehensive. I'm just very stressed today. As I've mentioned before, I'm a horrible driver, and I have no sense of directions. In addition to that, I can't see street names very well. :the pain: My sister and I share a car, and I need it today. My sister has to go to work, so I had to drop her off in order to keep the car. I was so damn lost, it freaked me out. I've haven't back on the freeway since 20 years ago. Today, I got lost, went round and round when I was only 5 mins away from the destination. On the way home, I found myself on the freeway. I got lost again on my way to pick her up. Argh....I can still feel the stress although I've been home for over an hour. The thought of taking her and picking up her up from work every week is freaking me out. Okay, so maybe this should be in "what's upsetting you" thread. :thepain3:
