The itch (you cannot scratch)

August 9, 2008

Tonight we watched a program about the toughest pubs in the UK. Well, apparently there are quite a few. Each pub featured was introduced with this famous guitar lick… tada… tada… ta… daahhh…. Lots of reverb and a really, really good guitar lick. We both could not remember the title of the song… That’s when it starts. The intch. The itch you cannot scratch. Arggg…!!! When you can’t remember something: the name of a song, the name of a film, the name of an actor… Is there something more annoying??

Unfortunately you can’t log on to Google and find a guitar lick like “tada… tada… ta… daahhh….”. It’s not that advanced yet. So it’s back to manual work and inspect the iTunes library. And indeed, I found it. It was “Bad To The Bone” by George Thorogood… Very appropriate!

Enjoy the video… b..b..b..b..b..bad….

    Well, bit of a surprise. I have never heard of the song or the singer but quite enjoyed it.

    Still, I’m sure I knew the tune from the diet coke advert (… girls in office, hot summer day, scarcely dressed window cleaner …)

    Oh Claartje!, - wish I’d seen the scarcely dressed window cleaner but have no memory of it.. This could be because of age of course, but surely something would still ring a bell!?! I usually turn the sound down as soon as the adds come on. A mistake maybe?

Got something to say?
