Today’s Earworm: ‘Rip it Up’ by Orange Juice

 

 

Watch: Polyphonic overtone singing by Anna-Maria Hefele

 

Here is something I saw when I was looking up something else. Wow!

There is something futuristic or speculative about this type of singing. Maybe it is because the scales she’s doing sound theremin-like.

Enjoy!

Today’s earworm: All Night Long by Lionel Richie

 

Did you catch the Kennedy Center Honors TV show? It took my spouse and I a couple nights to watch the show, which ended with a tribute to crowd-pleaser Lionel Richie and a medley of his hits sun by Leona Lewis, including “All Night Long.”

Now we can’t get it out of our heads. See the Richie video above, and the clip from the TV show below.

Enjoy.

And a note of trivia: the song lyrics that sound “African” are made up. Read about it here.
