    Reminds me of everyone trying to figure out the lyrics of “Smells Like Teen Spirit” which nobody could so we all just remembered it by the opening guitar riff … BAN-GAH-DANK!!

    New blood joins this hood

    And quickly he’s a dude

    Some Metallica song i guess

    I was a huge Metallica fan when I was a teen, but before we had the internet and I couldn’t look up the lyrics, I had to write them down as I heard them. And I still hear that song this way, even though I know better.

    I’ve got so many that are lost to the sands of time because they generally have no lyrics. Trying to remember or find a song with a particularly snazzy 2 seconds is impossible

    There was a song for the last while had been plaguing me. I’d heard it and knew the name then (years ago) but I’d long forgotten it and every lead was a dead end. Could not find it

    Recently, I was watching a streamer for a game I enjoy. It was just on for background noise so I had mostly tuned it out for a few streams. Amusingly an ad playing featured the song but I’m so used to ignoring ads it didn’t even register. To be fair the song in the ad was a different version than I remembered

    It was a fortnite ad playing a version of this song, but this is what what my ear worm was:

    joywave - destruction

    I eventually found it by coincidence - my local public radio station played it. In cold blood by Alt-J. I was never gonna find it. I don’t even really like the song, it just bothered me that I couldn’t name it. Support public radio. kxt.org

    “She’s just one of the girls, she is not one of those one-in-a-million. As if to have and to hold would be holding me down with love and addiction. I think I’ve found someone, I’ve found someone to help me work it out…”

    Kind of a soft alternative pop song from the mid-90s. I grew up in the northeast and listened to a lot of TMBG, Violent Femmes, and Talking Heads, so it’s possible that it’s from someone slightly adjacent to them, but it also might have just been on the pop radio station. It’s not “One In A Million” by Bosson, Ne-Yo, Aaliyah, or Trixter. I’m pretty sure I didn’t dream its existence.
