Addictive Musical Mystery

Have you ever heard a song on the radio, playing in a store, in a movie, wherever and while it's playing all you can think about is how you want to hear it again? I love when that happens, except when it takes me years to figure out what the song was. I'm always on the lookout for new music and today I was graced with a new song to add to my Spring 2012 Youtube playlist.

We gave presentations in my organic chemistry class on important named reactions in organic synthesis and one group showed this video called "Enolate Love Story," with Calvin Harris's "Feel So Close" as the music; it was great. The movie was also really well done and obviously a laborious process using lots of stills of pipecleaners.

Other notable music mysteries:

"Let the Drummer Kick" by Citizen Cope was probably the song that took me the longest to figure out. I think this mystery spanned about three years in high school. I was really drawn in by the piano. I heard it in a car commercial on TV twice. A few months later I heard it in a clothing store and then finally I think I found it by looking it up a movie soundtrack.

What's your latest addictive musical mystery?




P.S. I'm so obviously behind in pop music trends. I thought I discovered this awesome new pop song (for all you pop song haters, no, awesome new pop song is not an oxymoron) and both people I shared my new music find with already knew the song.
