Oh, what a pity, can't you understand...

The Perfect Sound [Explained]

Transcript Under the Cut

[Cueball and his friend are listening to music on a stereo.] Cueball: I'm telling you, listen right here to the sets of rising notes following the opening section. Friend: Uh huh.

[Cueball indicates stereo.] Cueball: And then right here, the transition into the chorus. This is music. This is art!

[Cueball dances along with the music.] Stereo: Oh Mickey, you so fine, you so fine you blow my mind, hey Mickey! *clap* *clap* Hey Mickey! Friend: There's something wrong with you.

31. Sunny by Bobby Hebb debuted Jun 66 and peaked at number two, scoring 1089 points. It peaked at number three on the r&b chart, and at number 12 in England.

Bob was born in Nashville to a pair of blind musicians. He was on stage at the age of three with his nine year old brother, and was seen on tv as a boy with Owen Bradley, and played with Roy Acuff's band.

He had three chart entries, all in 1966. The follow-up made the top 40. Bob wrote Sunny, a song that has been covered many many times, including Cher, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Stevie Wonder, and Billie Eilish, although Bob's original is the only one to chart. His other success as a songwriter was co-writing Lou Rawls' 1971 hit, A Natural Man with comedian Sandy Baron.

AHHHHHHH, shit, dear listener! Yes, I did just post a variation of the eternal hit Groove Is in the Heart, and you WILL succumb to your master, the play button. Why did I post this song, you may be wondering? Because anyone with a soul would like it. This tune is a celebration of music, and quite a catchy one! I don’t know if you’ll personally remember this song or Deee-Lite, but in merciful summary, this group had ONE HIT waaaaaaaaay back in 1990. And what a hit it was! It was performed by a group that regularly attempted to mix house and hip hop, becoming quickly big in nightclubs, and blinking out of our collective conscious twice as fast. This jam wasn’t just big in America, it was big all over the world, making it instantly memorable and triggering a giddy feeling in just about everyone that has previously experienced it. You may have noticed that I’m not talking about the band much so far. This is because this group only lasted about eight combined years and burned out after three albums. In preparation for this post, I listened to all three albums, want a quick review on each? Here goes. World Clique (1990) was a chore. Infinity Within (1992) was a snore! Dewdrops in the Garden (1994) was a bore!! Dr. Seuss rhyming conventions aside, I think I can see why this band inevitably split. Overall, for me, their catalog kinda blows, but this song rules and I defy you to resist its burning disco passion! Fair warning though, this is a remix and contains one of the WORST splices at minute 3:30 I’ve ever heard. Seriously, stop the song at 3:30, you have been warned! They try to mix it with Eiffel 65′s Blue (Da Ba Dee) and it is distilled essence of ear cancer. I suffered so you don’t have to. The first three minutes and thirty seconds however, very excellent indeed! Smash play, jump into the time machine with me, set course for 1990! No matter your personal predilection for music, songs like this remind us that we can ALL appreciate a universal hit together every now and again.

Her second studio album, I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got (1990), received glowing reviews upon release and became her biggest success, selling over seven million copies worldwide Its lead single, "Nothing Compares 2 U" (written by Prince), was named the number one world single in 1990 by the Billboard Music Awards.

In 1999, she was ordained as a priest by the Latin Tridentine Church, a sect that is not recognized by the mainstream Catholic Church. She consistently spoke out on issues related to child abuse, human rights, anti-racism, organised religion, and women's rights.Sinéad O'Connor - Wikipedia
