Monday Morning Music - "Hit In The Head With A Frying Pan"

Monday Morning Music is whatever tune I've got in my head when I wake up.

They Might Be Giants - Particle Man


 "Particle Man" is a song by alternative rock band They Might Be Giants. The song is the seventh track on the band's 1990 release, Flood.

 Both "Particle Man" and another They Might Be Giants song, "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)", were made into music videos featured on the Warner Bros. animated series Tiny Toon Adventures. In the video for "Particle Man", Plucky Duck portrays both Particle Man and Person Man (Person Man being, in the video's interpretation, Particle Man’s secret identity), and the other characters are featured as massive wrestlers. The video also includes a cameo by The Crusher from the Looney Tunes short Bunny Hugged.

Enjoy!

Monday Morning Music - Do You Believe?

Monday Morning Music is whatever tune I've got in my head when I wake up.

Nikki Yanofsky - I Believe


"I Believe" is a song sung by Canadian jazz-pop singer Nikki Yanofsky. Written by Stephan Moccio and Alan Frew, it was used as CTV's official promotional song for their coverage of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, and instrumental cues based on the song were also used as CTV's main theme for its coverage.

Personally, the visuals synced with the vocals of this video give me chills, in particular Sidney Crosby's "Golden Goal."  It's one of those moments that I'll always remember.

Enjoy!
