A couple months back, someone I follow on Twitter mentioned a podcast called "Coverville." Interested, I looked it up.
It's a semiweekly show, roughly an hour long, hosted by Brian Ibbott. The podcast consists of bands doing covers of songs by other bands. Usually there's a theme. Recent themes have been Kiss, Johnny Mercer, Michael Jackson, Sesame Street, and David Bowie.
Every once in a while, though, he does a show that's all listener requests. A little over a week ago I listened to the podcast that played someone's requested cover of The Talking Heads' "This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)" by Miles Fisher.
I liked it so much I downloaded it from Amie Street (it was free, but I had to register), and played it over and over and over -- to the point where it's been stuck in my head all week. And now, maybe, it'll be stuck in yours.
You're welcome.

I wasn't going to go. I wasn't. Nope. Nosiree, not me.
Hahhahahaa.
It isn't the melody that turns into an earworm; it's that repetitive phrase that I can't quite catch running underneath.
So, how does this Blip thing work? I'd never heard of it before.
That phrase it bits and pieces from the spoken bit at the start. They sampled some words and syllables, changed the pitches, then strung them together to form a spoken version of what was the bass line in the original song. At least that's what it sounds like to me:
Talking Heads - This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody) (Remastered LP Version )
