Today is, I'm presuming in the US, but maybe elsewhere too, "National Repeat Day".
I'll let them explain...
Ever had an experience that was so amazing, it’s worth doing twice? Or said something so brilliant that it simply bears repeating? Well, that’s exactly what this day is all about.
What?!?
National Repeat Day invites people to lean into the oddly satisfying side of doing something again on purpose. It can be as simple as replaying a favourite song or as ambitious as recreating an entire “best day ever” itinerary.
Was this written by AI? What exactly is "oddly satisfying" about doing something you like again? Why do I need a special day to play my favourite song again?
Ten tiger-tastic tunes to make your Sunday roar-some!
10. Half a city in Hawaii.
That city would be Honolulu.
If you only watch one video this week, make it that one. The way that tiger's pacing, I'm convinced it's going to eat Lulu by the end of the song.
9. Those obnoxious aliens.
That's their name, translated from Japanese - the band were named after a famous manga comic.
8. Befuddled by Dundee Day.
Dundee Day was an anagram.
Duane Eddy - Tiger Love and Turnip Greens
7. They came, they saw, they conquered.
6. Travelling saint demands his coffee white.
St. Christopher needs his milk.
Apparently these guys were one of David Bowie's favourite bands back in the day...
5. Feels good inside.
Feels good inside.
4. Greasy ladies knock on wood.
The Pink Ladies were in Grease. Eddie Floyd knocked on wood.
Pink Floyd - When The Tigers Broke Free
3. Lost in the Bermuda Triangle.
Bermuda Triangle.
2. Events spiral, out of control.
"Events spiral" is an anagram.
April Stevens - Teach Me, Tiger
Parental advisory suggested.
1. Stoic leftovers.
I'm guessing Caroline Vincinette LoTempio changed her name to April Stevens because she was born in the fourth month of the year. Sadly she passed away April just gone, aged 93. With her brother Nino Tempo, she had a big hit in 1963 with a song that would later name a famous rock band...
Nino Tempo & April Stevens - Deep Purple
A few years earlier, she'd caused quite a scandal with this raunchy solo hit...
April Stevens - Teach Me Tiger
The Celebrity Jukebox remembers April through two fine tunes, both referencing her tiger cub days, firstly from another of our Canadian pals...
And secondly from our old pals Tullycraft...
Yesterday's link, to be specific, was not just songs with colours in the title... there are millions of those. No, the link was songs whose title is just a colour, nothing else. Far fewer of those to choose from, but here are the ten I found...
10. The Iceman Cometh, perhaps?
"The Iceman Cometh" is a play. A cold one, presumably.
9. Makes trousers for fast birds.
A swift tailor?
8. Graffiti found in Berlin nightclub.
Apparently that's where they got their name.
7. Preserved in an ample jar.
A jam is a preserve, "ample jar" is an anagram.
6. Boy from New York City goes without tea when he joins a Formula 1 team.
Darts sang about The Boy From New York City. Take the T from Dart and you get Dar.
Williams is an F1 team. (Thank you, Sam.)
5. Sgt. Snarler.
Anagram!
4. Body enhancement, hun?
Anagram!
3. The speed of your National Insurance Number is directly proportionate to a foolish Cat.
That would be your NiNo tempo and April (fool) (Cat) Stevens.
Nino Tempo & April Stevens - Deep Purple
2. Flighty Elliott.
Aero relates to flight, Elliott was a Smith.
1. Help! I'm trapped between a Yes man and a Webb collaborator.
The Yes Man would be Jon Anderson, the Webb collaborator was David Mitchell (so Robert Webb, not Jimmy). Put an I in between those and you get...
