My toddler controls what we listen to in the car. So, I’ve listened to “Part of Your World” from The Little Mermaid a lot, recently.

My Spotify algorithm is still recovering from this very thing. He hijacked it for 3 years

There's something you can click to have it exclude a song from your algorithm (assuming they haven't put it behind the Premium paywall like they did with lyrics)

That sounds awesome, I can only pick out a word here or there but the beats and bars are rad.

I’ve been listening to ETHS Crucifère. It’s a French female Metal core band and it’s really good.

The song has been around since the 70s and I just recently heard. Yusuf Islam's "The Wind" I don't know what it is about this song and I'm not religious, but this song touched me.

A couple months ago I decided to relisten to Love This Giant by David Byrne and St Vincent, and the song Lazarus has be stuck with me ever since. I've probably listened to it at least once a day since then.

I've been listening to Slash's Orgy of the Damned a lot (the entire album is fantastic) but the song with the most plays on the album is Key to Highway that he performs with Dorothy

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Awesome, I would love to see that live. Enjoy

Here's to Life by Streetlight Manifesto. A song that alludes to several famous individuals who took their own life, and how while they are great inspirations for the singer, they will never follow in their footsteps through suicide. A lot of songs on that album (Everything Goes Numb) are about overcoming thoughts of suicide and broken relationships.

"And it makes me sick when I think of it, all my heroes could not live with this, and I hope you rest in piece because with us you never did. And K.D.C., you were much too young and you changed my life, but I draw the line at suicide! Here's to liiiiiiiiiiiiiife!"

I've been listening to a lot of Pogo. He is well known for plunderphonics songs like these:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRSr0GprIIw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6k0JeEKR3Do https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vx3_2ks5qQ

But the song I can't get enough of right now was made with Pogo's own voice, just pitched up:

Yeah, I find something about the bouncing rhythm of the vocals really addictive.

And knowing the interests of Lemmy folk, I probably should have linked this one first and foremost:

Ha, I've still never seen the show myself, but I'm sure that'll spread like wildfire on the lemmyverse

Delicate weapon by Grimes/Lizzie Wizzy and Pon Pon Shit by the Us Cracks.

Cyberpunk 2077 has some really catchy songs.

My partner and me always sing the "oh oh oh" part together..

She started as a background singer for Leonard Cohen.
