Hmmm... I feel like listening to some serious Rob Zombie... My dual 15" subs are still in the Cat Whiz living room (and hooked to nothing), my 12 cubic foot dual 15" sub is at Arne's place, and my sealed audiophile subs are at Doc's...
 
Could someone do some serious decibels for me?

Anyone know what the name of this song is.....http://www.youtube.com/user/jdefer#p/u/18/pDIL88x3GJU


And Bogie, I'm with you all the way on CSN.  Winchester Catherdal is one their best IMHO.  Great Tunes, Crappy Politcs.

Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Thanks for "Winchester Cathedral." Don't know about CSN's version, but I have the faux vaudeville version from the 60's stuck in my head now.

Thanks a lot.

About 30 years ago another guy I worked with in a 40 person factory used to go around all day softly singing stupid songs to see how many people he could hook.  I took it up also and we would have contests,(different songs).  Helped to take some of the boredom out of the day.

A lot of the dumbest songs are the most adictive.

Psychologists' slang term for such songs is "earworms."

I read a synopsis of a study one psychologist did on such songs. He found that they all had very simple lyrics that were easy to remember (i.e. easy to get stuck in your head), with simple melodies. "Winchester Cathedral"--at least the one I had stuck in my head--qualified. He pointed to Abba's "Dancing Queen" as a common earworm.

Simple lyrics and melodies. I guess that's why I never get Beethoven's 9th symphony Chorale stuck in my head.

Not an answer exactly, but it's the theme from Requiem for a Dream:
