TTT - Yeah I Like You

Hello Hive Music Lovers!,

Welcome to another #threetunetuesday created originally by @ablaze.

I like to share some music that I am listening to each week and this week we listen to 3 tunes that I have heard from the great comedy series Trigger Happy TV. This was a TV show that aired in the 90s playing various gags and these were some of the tunes that accompanied those gags that I like.

But first, for those unfamiliar with TTT or Three Tune Tuesday.... to quote @ablaze :

The jist is as follows
Every Tuesday I'm going to share 3 songs which I like to listen to and I invite your feedback in the comments below. Better still, why not have a blast of your own Three Tune Tuesday and mention me in the post and I'll come and find the post and upvote it. If you could also use #threetunetuesday tag that would be great, as that is what I use when sifting through all the entries every Wednesday. It'll be a sweet way for us all to discover new music. You'll also be in with a chance of winning the prize.

The first tune is an 80s classic that I didn't really pay much attention to even when I watched the show, but I love the 80s and think this is a great tune when you are in that 80s mood. I like 80s synth-wave the most, but could slot this one in.

This one is by Men Without Hats, Pop Goes The World and it has everything that you would like from a catchy 80s hit. Great 80s hair dos and funny playful dancing. The snowman looks pretty scary in the video though.

This tune was used in the Trigger Happy TV series quite often when they would zoom out from doing a funny gag, such as 1000th customer to a public toilet or some such stunt.

Pop Goes The World

The next tune is a classic 90s hit which I really love and is a little known gem. It is by Eels, an American rock band and was apparently their only major hit. Checking into them abit further they do have some decent other tracks too that are worth listening to.

Of them, probably Last Stop - This Town and Susan's House are my favorites. But from Trigger Happy TV, Novacaine was played alot after many of the gags and sticks in my memory alot.

I am surprised the band were not bigger than they were. The song has some brilliant lyrics which you just love to hear in a song. There is also a great documentary called Parallel Lives that shows the lead singer Mark on his journey to reunite with his father. I haven't watched it yet, but am looking forward to checking it out.

Novocaine For The Soul

On to the last song for today and the raison d'etre for todays title. I absolutely love this tune and video. The Dandy Warhols are a 90s band but this tune was released in 2000 and became very popular at the time.

You might remember the tune after it was featured in a vodafone advert and became even more well known. Currently I have seen the band are still touring and you can go and see them live.

I have played through some of their other tunes but there were no real stand out tunes that I found, but maybe need to have another dig. I really love this tune though and it is my favorite of the week.
