Another fine selection of Earworms for you, some on the theme of “Big Brother”, and some not. No matter, all worms are welcome – if you have an earworm you would like to share, please send it to [email protected], together with a few lines about why you’ve chosen it. Many thanks to all contributors.
Rolling Stones – Fingerprint File – Ravi Raman: one of their funkiest numbers, full of paranoid visions, most of which are matter of fact, sadly.
K.Flay – The President Has A Sex Tape – tincanman: Surely we’ve had enough anti-Trump songs? What’s that? One more? Here ya go then. Flay is one to watch; she mixes raps, hard indie, and disarming singer-songwriter confessions.
ANOHNI – Watch Me – severin: “I know you love me, cause you’re always watching me”. Big Brother, 1997 style. Better technology but the same message…
Radiohead – 2+2 = 5 – AliM: A song inspired by “1984” – the equation is indicative of the Party’s ability to control information and to deny the truth. Or something.
Sexwitch – War In Peace – severin: Not quite the same as “war is peace” but it does include the words “It’s a joy to know you’re resting in peace. War in peace, what a funny combination”. OK, I’m interpreting this concept a bit broadly…
Prophets of Rage – Take Me Higher – DsD: I had to pick Unfuck The World for the Festive Spill as a true reflection on 2017, but this is the song that’s most securely lodged in my head. Still righteously angry, but funky with it!
Camila Cabello – Havana ft. Young Thug – magicman: Everyone I know likes this song. Impossible to ignore last year, it played in grocery stores and pharmacies, hotel lobbies and taxi cabs. The ultimate radio-friendly pop song, aimed at no-one in particular and everyone all at once. I was raised on pop radio and I’m happy it is still producing beauty like this.
