The Weekly Theory 10.28.2011

File under Useless Information

I'm pretty sure we've all had an awful song stuck in our head that we just can't stop singing or humming. whether it's Ace of Base's "The Sign", Starships' "We Built this City", or Aqua's "Barbie Girl".  In any case, i think i have a cure.

I Have a Theory...

...that singing Tom's Diner by Suzanne Vega will get rid of any annoying song in your head.  Guaranteed.

In addition to that, it won't get stuck in your head itself.  It's a weird phenomenon, but it absolutely works.  Try it the next time you can't get the theme song to The Big Bang Theory out of your head.

Song of the Day
Interestingly enough the Tom's Diner in the song is Tom's Restaurant in New York City that was later immortalized as the go-to diner in Seinfeld, but called Monk's.  Also, the most popular version of the song is actually an unauthorized remix by producers calling themselves DNA who added a Soul II Soul beat to Vega's original a capella version.  In honor of Cliff Claven and little known facts, the song of the day is Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner" as remixed by DNA featuring Soul II Soul.
