Earworm of the Day: Haddaway

Another '90s classic...Haddaway's "What Is Love?" This earworm rose to fame by its use in some also classic sketches called "A Night at the Roxbury" on Saturday Night Live starring Chris Kattan and Will Ferrell as two obnoxious club goers. It was also made into a film. I love watching the sketches to this day! Enjoy!

Earworm of the Day: Supermodels

Back in the '90s, there was a time it seemed like supermodels were everywhere...not only magazines, but also infiltrating TV shows, music videos, and even movies. In homage to this phenomenon, two music videos were made that can be considered total earworms and have been for me at some time or another: "I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred, and "Supermodel" by the one and only RuPaul...enjoy, and have that gum remover ready lol. As usual, feel free to leave your fave earworms in the comment section below!

Earworm of the Day: Midnight Star

The ending of the decade spotlight series has left me feeling there's a little hole here I need to fill, so in that spirit, I bring to you...Earworm of the Day, where I can post songs that I just can't get out of my &^^#@%$# head lol. Todays video came about due to a couple of them I posted on a friend's Facebook page. See, there used to be a radio station we both liked that cruelly and suddenly got yanked off the air making us very sad. So not too long ago, I posted two of the songs the station used to play a lot that we used to always laugh about just for kicks and giggles and because I hadn't heard them in ages. What are some of your favorite earworms? Got one in your head right now? Please share below! Now, without further ado, here's one of the ones I posted..."Operator" by Midnight Star. Enjoy, and you've been warned...

The Joys of Winter

Snow Princess Barbie

Winter Fantasy Barbie

It's 12th Night and the holidays are officially over. While it's been warm here the past few days, it's been chilly for the most part with foggy nights this past week and it's supposed to be cooling down again over the weekend. For a majority of the country though, it's been way colder though, so we're lucky. I love winter...hot tea and cocoa, fireplaces, layering up, the smell of the crisp air & seeing your breath at night. The days since the solstice though have been slowly increasing and I don't feel like such a vampire anymore lol. I also love the visions of dark blue, white and silver put together...hmmm, I should think of a small decor featuring those colors. It would look awesome! Anyway, while the light half of the year is approaching, I'm going to revel in the joys of winter for as long as I can before I'm forced to fry in 80/90 something degree heat. What do you love about winter? Any fave memories, stories, poems or thoughts? Share below! :-)
