MY EARWORM, LET ME SHARE IT WITH YOU.

"Dirty Whirlwind" by TV On the Radio, from their 2006 album Return to Cookie Mountain.


Lyrics:

Oh there is a murderess amongst us
Her love is a violent spiral
Hurling in upon us, conjured up
At the birth of the world

Durga is a dancer
Mindless questions find no answers
Slicing through the ether
Yeah she's gleaming like mother of pearl

Dirty little whirlwind
Commander, controller
I found you
Dirty little whirlwind
I am pinned by the heat of your swirl
Dirty little whirlwind
Descender, destroyer
I found you
Dirty little whirlwind
Tangled up in the flesh of a girl

Oh you could curl me beside you
The spark in your eyes belies the Apocalypse inside you
Twisting the pits from the particle
Skull can't save face
So shake the shame from it
Burn me up inside you
Let me churn in your furnace of whirl

Dirty little whirlwind
Commander, controller
I found you
Dirty little whirlwind
I am pinned by the heat of your swirl
Dirty little whirlwind
Descender, destroyer
I found you
Dirty little whirlwind
All caught up in the flesh of a girl

All that I ever wanted to be was destroyed at sea
Hurricane rescued me salvaged calamity
Do not delay we stood in place for it
Turn me up inside you
Up and into the heart of your world

I LOVE this song. I picked up on TVOTR from Kile. When Alex, Kile and I went out to Ben Franklin Crafts when I was home for Christmas break, Kile played this album in his car; I was intrigued by the band's wholly unique rock sound, and ended up getting the album for myself. It's a fantastic album. Addictive sounds and lyrics you won't hear from anyone else truly make TV On the Radio stand out.

While I'm at it, here's another TVOTR earworm of mine: "Wolf Like Me." The embedded video below is the song's music video.

One word: WEREWOLVES! :D (This music video is a MUST-SEE for werewolf fans, silent film fans, stop-motion animation fans, and would-be TVOTR fans. Check it out!)
