My latest song addiction is the 1947 Tex Williams hit, “Smoke, Smoke, Smoke (That Cigarette)”…I have been listening to this on loop all day. It’s so damn catchy! This is an anti-smoking song, but it’s not because they’re unhealthy (”I don’t reckon’ that they hinder your health”), it’s because smoking takes a long time and makes other people wait. But after listening to this chorus about a zillion times, holy crap, all I want to do is start smoking cigarettes!!
There are two performances here…the first one is one of the originals from the ’40s, but it’s a bit out of sync. The other one features an older Tex Williams a few decades later…but he’s still got it.

One of the latest viral sensations is the known as “Trololo guy,” which I posted here on Pie Heaven a few weeks ago. Well, someone tracked down the Soviet singer 44 years later…his name is Eduard Khil and this was his signature song, and apparently a big hit in the USSR back in the ’60s.
The song’s translated title is “I’m very glad, because I’m going back home” and, according to Khil, is “in fact about an American who returns home through the prairies, and his beloved Mary waits for him at home and knits a woolen sock for him.”

Some street buskers gathered a crowd of New Yorkers to join them in “Hey Jude.” I love it when things like this happen!

Sad you can’t see a good Alice in Wonderland? Meryl Streep and Mark Lynn Baker (’Perfect Stranger’s” Cousin Larry) star in this musical from 1981. The Jabberwock stuff in the second one is particularly great.

EveryDay Looper is a sweet iPhone app that lets you record multiple tracks and loop them on the fly. Here’s an awesome performance by some French dude using the app.

The breakout hit from this season of American Idol is the song “Pants on the Ground” by General Larry Platt, and our homeboys from Ithaca College did a pretty awesome cover of it:

I’m addicted to Pants on the Ground remixes.
And of course… the original:

Great instrumental band rocking out a kindergarten class. I’m the kid in the center, completely stunned, and eventually pulled away by the teacher because I peed myself.
