Via Die Puny Humans, The New Sound by The Capricorns is the hookiest song EVER. DAMN.

Synth chicks on speed. Sign me up for hours and hours and hours of that.

Re: I listened to it (and Pretty Girls)...

I've listened to it something like four times in the past hour. I crave it.

Not bad, but I keep waiting for the bare-bones intro to end and the guitars and real drums to kick in the start of the real song.

(filed between Stan Bush and Wendy Carlos. that's... an interesting juxtaposition.)

Um, dude?

The "Pachebel's Canon in D" chord progression has been scientifically tested to be the hookiest progression ever. :)

cf. "Hook" by Blues Traveler

Ah ha! Right, so it is.

I was too focussed on the crazed vocals to totally twig to the chord progression. 8)

This comment:

If this reminds you of Blues Traveler's "Hook", it should.

Both are directly lifting the melody of Pacobell's Cannon.

led Warren to note:

Pachelbel's "Canon". For fuck's sake.

New rule: any mention of Blues Traveler in any context other than "we stood outside and burned some Blues Traveler records" gets a comments thread closed.

Or perhaps "we knocked her out pre-bukkake by playing her some Blues Traveler."

So now imagine i'm looking at you suspiciously.

Please note that I have no Blues Traveler; nor have I ever listened to them intentionally.

I have the URL to prove it, although my laptop is shut down at the moment. 8)
