A song or TV jingle suddenly goes auto-play in your head...
You could be in the middle of vacuuming, styling your hair, at work, driving, grocery shopping, lip-locking, staring into space, whatever. We've all got a mental jukebox. Some songs we could karaoke at the drop of a hat, some we can only humm and garble out the hook until someone jogs our musical memory bank.
Today, I found myself chanting "la da dee dow wow" from Gypsy Woman on Crystal Water's 1991 album Surprise. I swear THAT song will never leave my sub consciousness lol -- and more importantly nor did its actual message. Who knows what moved the mental needle on this one, but I was pleased to remember such an awfully-good song (literally).
This one has seen its fair share of praise and criticism; hence, the In Living Color parody of the song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTykohWAPRg). <---hysterically funny by the way... but seriously, the message itself is far from a laughing matter. Gypsy Woman is House music and repetitious hooks come along with the territory. For the record this track has been mixed and sampled countless times -- getting airplay to this day in chic clubs featuring House, Techno, Ambient, B-More to Euro sound, etc. Overall, this track falls under the category of things we either love or hate. And for all my fellow 90's music fans out there, here's a socially conscious blast from the past... enjoy!
