The Daily Teaser — 30-9-2015: Thunderbirds Are Go … !

You know, right now … ?

Right now, I‘ve got an earworm: a song, in other words, playing through my head.

In this particular case … ?

One of the catchier songs from The Associates: Waiting for the Love Boat, from their Perhaps album.

Usually … ?   I have no idea why a tune will be squatting in my head.

Although, in this case?   I know what roughly why: I was listening to the album, last night, whilst making some videos.

I’m not complaining.

It’s a nice little tune … !

Speaking personally, though … ?

Speaking personally, I think it’s sad that the band’s singer, Billy MacKenzie, died at such a young age.
