ok, i didn’t say it was good music. evidently this guy was an ex-army guy who stayed in germany when he left the military and joined the band “Captain Jack”. the reason i’m posting this isn’t because of the scantily clad women (well, it sort of is, indirectly). i woke up this morning with this song in my head, which made me think of an article i read a few weeks back. bear with me a few moments and this will all make sense! well, one more distraction. did you know it’s “bear with me” not “bare with me”? the second one would mean “let’s get nekkid together”, which i guess sort of ties in with the girls in the video, but that’s a total coincidence.

back to the article… it was talking about earworms, and why you can’t get some songs out of your head. the article theorized that it seems to happen more often when you only get a part of your sing stuck in your head, and that a way to get the song out of your head faster would be to listen to the complete song. to me, it makes sense. when a song is stuck in my head, i seem to only repeat a piece of it, like the chorus or a verse; it’s not like the whole song replays in my head. so my attack plan was to find the song online, listen to it, and be done. 

now, if it worked, why feel the need to write a post about it, you may be wondering. ah, good question!

so if you watch the video (or at least the first part of it), you’ll see that it takes place on a generic “army barracks”.  well, it’s not so generic. it’s actually turley barracks in mannheim, germany. the next logical question is “um, how the heck do you know that?” because i know everything! ok, not really. well, maybe. but that’s not why. the answer is because that’s where i was stationed when i was in the army. no foolin! and, i happened to see them filming the video! so did 99% of the males stationed on that kaserne. for obvious reasons. we liked to march. 

it turns out turley barracks was closed in 2008. i found some pictures on flickr.

and one final thought, dane cook has 3 albumns in the top 100 albumns on itunes. frat boy comedy coming from a guy thats 50. sweet.

my wandering from the captain jack video on youtube brought me to this. i apologize in advance:
