I was driving to work this morning, scanning through the radio, when I heard "Sweet Caroline"; it took a minute to register that it wasn't Neil Diamond (I cannot STAND Neil Diamond, sorry to anyone who likes him, but ... UGH! Maybe something bad happened to me during a Neil Diamond song [and lord knows there were many opportunies in my early days for THAT to happen] or something, cause, ... JUST UGH!) singing it, so I flipped back to listen to who it was. At first I thought it was a failed American Idol joke thing...then I thought maybe it was Tom Jones. The more I listened, the more I was sure it was Tom Jones. Um...no. It was Dave Matthews (live from the Fenway LOL). This blew my mind! Dave Matthews sounds like Tom Jones? Who else wouldn't I recognize if I heard a random song by (damn, what great sentence structure THAT had!).
So the next song I heard after that was "The Middle" by Jimmy Eat World; the first two lines were:
Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head
Hardy har har...how friggin' appropriate!

DMB doing Sweet Caroline? The world as I know it is over.
okay, i just read that twice and my brain hurts (it doesn't take much, tho)
Makes me wonder why Dave would: A) Sing a Neil Diamond song and B) Sound like Tom Jones.
I'm taking it that you flipped stations again when you heard the Jimmy Eat World song? Or maybe it was all in your head... ;-)
have you forgotten to take you meds, dear? ROFLMAO!!!!
great now that songs going to be in my head all gd day.
but the ND version
eff
I had to read this a few times because I got lost...!!!! lol
ummm....I dont like Dave Matthews....there I said it!
....but I CAN listen to some Neil Diamond!!! LOL
I don't really like Neil Diamond either, though he is one of the few singers I can identify by the sound of his voice. :)
Something about this post tells me that you and I may be in a similar frame of mind of late. ;)
Neil Diamond - always was, is, and always will be - UGH!!!!! Anything by him, regardless of who sings it, is enough to scramble your brain. And now my radio is playing Grinderman - I'm off to turn up the volume.......
I love that song "The Middle" especially now that it is not played 10,000 times a day!
I love DMB, but don't think I know that song. I am sure I would recognize it if I heard it. I like Neil Diamond's "Heart of Gold" a lot!
You are just the person I was looking for today! I am re-reading HP & the HBP and I had a couple of questions regarding Snape's loyalties. Please check out my blog and see if you can help me out?!
Heart of Gold is by Neil YOUNG!!!!
I'm just really, really, REALLY happy to find out I'm not the only one that CAN'T STAND NEIL DIAMOND. (Well, can't stand his music. Don't know HIM, you know.)
