Don't Stop Believing
I figured out why my bandwidth was suddenly getting chewed up faster than a dog biscuit at a kennel...
For a long time in my music folder I had the full .mp3 of Don't Stop Believing by Journey. Some people who have My Space accounts were directly linking it to their sites so that when you opened up their blog the song would download from my site and start playing! The Horrors!
So I deleted the song.
Something else that is interesting about that song is its recent increase in popularity. When I was at iTunes earlier this week Don't Stop Believing by Journey was listed in the top 10 downloads. Why is it all of the sudden "All the rage"?
Not only was this song being linked to, but also my picture of Jenny Finch. I haven't removed her yet, but I guess I am going to have to.

I think I actually know this song! Which to understand this comment you need to know that my husband Benny believes I grew up in a bubble, with no t.v. or radio! Which to some degree is true... but surprise, surprise.... I remember this one!
A proud moment for me!!!!
Good question - why all the rage? Is it being used in a ad campaign somewhere?
Can you part with the Jenny Finch pic? ;) Glad you figured out your 'bandwidth being eaten up like a dog biscuit in a kennel' issue!!

Man for a while I thought it was just me who couldn't get onto your site! I was like- whats wrong w/this computer!!!?? Man, the agony I was in! Glad to see your back Eddo!
You have to watch out for Journey. Just when you think their pop powers have ebbed --- here they come again eating up bandwidths!
...I think that I recently heard that song in a mainstream movie. I see too many and I can't remember the movie. "Must Have Dogs" ? No, not sure.
thanks for the pain of sticking JOurney in my melon all day...
"JOHN JACOB JINGLEHYMER SCHMITZ HIS NAME IS MY NAME TOO....."
(sing it Eddo... let it fill your soul... may it haunt you today... na na na na na na na!!!)
eddie, AS IF you don't know the reason that it's suddenly so popular again.
it's because YOU had it on your site. sheeesh! the things you'll do for unique page hits!!
I think it might also be because it appeared on MTV "Laguna Beach"
I don't watch it but my sister asked what the name of the song was a while back and when I asked her how she knew the lyrics to it she said she heard it on that show.
Glad you're back up and running!
Yep, it was probably that Laguna Beach!
This is Eddo by the way...
Ok Journey isn't that bad to get stuck in your head but JOHN JACOB JINGLEHYMER SCHMITZ, Steve I'm hating you right now.
You realize that they are on tour, don't you? That might count for the upswing - baby boomers feeling nostalgic.
I've had Cherry Pie by Warrant in my head all day - I'd take John Jacob over that anytime.
The bandwidth HOGS! Next thing you are going to tell me is that Katie had her pictures stored on your server.
I'm Henry the Eigth I am... Hen-ry the Eigth I am I am...
Journey is touring the country and that song was one of their biggest hits. My friend in Kansas City went to see them a couple of weeks ago, and they'll be playing here in Hollywood (Florida) next month.
I saw Pat Benatar for $5 a couple of years ago, Eddie Money for nothing, and KC & The Sunshine Band are doing weddings now. :)
Ben - Back off Canada. I now have all my images myself so there Phllllllllppppppp.
MDCAL - I love Pat Benatar and am very jealous. She may be older but she is still my favorite windows rolled down sunroof open, driving down the open road, blasting the radio songstress.
Eddie- I still think the Target adds with "I like Big Backpacks and I cannot lie" redo of "I like Big Butts" is more disturbing. There is something wrong with elementary kids singing that song even if the words are changed (because I hear the real words people, the real words)
Phllllllllppppppp? what's that?
i thought you were trying to say something about someone named phillip, but then "so there. phillip." didn't make any sense.
Ben, why are you Henry the 8th? I don't know that song????
And yes, WHO IS PHILIP!!!! I MUST know.
as i said on someone else's site, i think katie is drunk. she's not making any sense lately.
Henry the Eigth is a real annoying song. I am not Henry the Eigth.
Nor Philip.
I'm not drunk and why am I not making sense? Phhhlllllpppp is the sound one makes when they stick out their tongue and vibrate it. Ok that whole sentence sounds bad.
How else would you represent this sound?
ahahahaha. forget the sound. i'm laughing at that sentence. you are so totally "off", KT.
is it the paint from your walls?
did you spike your coffee?
lack of sleep?
please, we must know.
Katie - I got your back here. I knew it wasn't a name reference because you didn't have an 'i' in the word, hence, a sound in written form. But do tell, paint chips, coffee, no sleep? I'm so the no-sleep queen right now.
Eddo - are you serious that you don't know the 'Henry the 8th I am' SONG??? Have you ever seen 'Ghost'???? (it was a MICH greater history than that movie alone but I tried to think of something where you may have heard it)Patrick Swayze's character is trying to wear down Whoopi's character so as she's trying to sleep he's sitting over in the corner singing that song over & over & over....please tell me you know it!
(I'll relax now and try and get some sleep.) :)
In my fervent passion to ask Eddo about his lack of song history I TOTALLY misspelled in my last comment - I meant to type "it HAS a MUCH greater history than that movie alone" instead of "it was a MICH greater history than that movie alone". Sometimes I'm such a lameo. ;)
Well let's see for the past 5 days I've inhaled lots of paint fumes, carpet and tile glue fumes, I've missed out on a lot of sleep and I've been running around like a chicken with my head cut off so yes I will admit I may not make a lot of sense right now. But I assure you I am in my right mind. Maybe it's the rest of you who are drunk and I'm just normal. Yep, that's it.
yes, KT. ALL of US are drunk, and YOU are the only one who is normal. because THAT makes sense.
It does in my world.
How cute is it that Sydney calls Ben, Benny? Particularly as that isn't even his name.
Dude, I love journey...steve has some majoy lungs on him...wish he was still with journey...you know they are coming to dallas with earth wind and fire....lets get all the vloggers to come. ha i mean bloggers
"I'm henry the eighth I am, henry the eighth I am, I am..."
my dad would sing that.
and hey, i have a big interview friday (five hours - yikes) talk to your homeboy and ask for his will.
I can't believe you don't know that song! Anyways where have you been, I tried to call you today!!! Call me!!!
Yikes...Eddo is getting in trouble with Mom. Where is Eddo?
First, it's so rude for people to eat your bandwith like that!
Second: as a child of the 80's I must say it was inevitable that such a great song by such a great band would be so popular. Can White Tiger's "WAIT" and Twisted Sisters' "WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT" be far behind? I'm currently looking for a new Whitesnake anthology if anyone knows where to point me.
ROCK ON DUDES! (HEAD BANGING)
Third: try to get the LUMBERJACK song out of your head: "OH I'm a Lumberjack and I'm ok, I work all night and I sleep all day..."
The song is popular now because it Chicago white Sox kind of adopted it for the post season run to the World Series championship this year. Also, Steve Perry has been giong to all the games.
its because it was on family guy
You have an outstanding good and well structured site. I enjoyed browsing through it Los angeles california county registrar office Vet health dog allergies 73 saab sonnet 1gm valtrex aston martin screensaver advair patanol
