Name That Song October 2025
3D Render by maru_berlinTo find out about this month’s Name That Song let me tell you what it is NOT:
It’s not bony and Ivory“ and not scape“ (though beverages do feature in that song, too). As noted in last issue, it is also not (again) a trip into some distant past – the song is quite a recent one, from 2024, just to prove that I am not that senile.
As someone else put it, it is a song about t’s not you babe, it’s me.“ But from my own experience I can tell you, that the singer may not necesarily be right in his prediction that he Beauty and the Beast“ relationships are doomed – one only needs to conceal the fact who is who *grins*.
o n-éirí an t-ádh leat!“ is what the singer might wish you for this month’s quest.
Have Fun!
For those who did not guess the last month's song it was "Blinded by the Light", Manfred Man's Earth Band, originally performed by the Boss himself.

I would say Benson Boone, if the song wasn't
a) from 2025
b) about a restaurant
c) Boone wasn't from the US
In addition, whenever I hear the song, I see a slightly plump redhead with freckles and the most beautiful smile in the world in my mind's eye... which brings us back to Éire

Thu, Oct 02Cool suggestion, but, you assumed rightly that your guess is a fail. The singer indeed is male and quite surprising to me NOT an American, the song is a wee bit faster but at least played with about the same instuments as Mr. Boone is using.
Thanks for widening my acoustic horizons.

Ok, I'll give it a try and it's just a wild guess, since you wrote it's from 2024 and the language, you wrote the wish in and the hint about the beauty and the beast.
Doomsday Blue by Bambie Thug, I wasn't able to find anything else that fit to your description.
No music I would listen to at all

Thu, Oct 02Thanks for trying your luck.
Don't know if you ever did a "wordle" puzzle (searching a 6-letter word in 6 tries. each round you learn if you got a letter right or a correct letter in the right position: https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/index.html, there is also a German version "wördle").
So you got the nationality of the artist (he) right , but unfortunately not much else. 2024 is correct, too (just checked again), but the song is much less freaky than your choice. Maybe after a few whiskeys - and no ice - who knows.....

Doesn't Wordle work with 5 letters (and not 6)?
I play once a day on SPON - and always look forward to the brief diversion

Thu, Oct 02I know this game with colored pins
never heard of wordle (maybe it's too new for me, 20 years out from Germany)
Ok, then I will search a bit more.

Thu, Oct 02*lol* and seconds later, first Whiskey in a Jar, but ways too old, I know 
And there are some other songs about Whiskey, but Whiskey without ice, so neat
and the music is much more my style 
I like my coffee black too, bed time a bit earlier, but usual not before midnight (3 is even for me too late *grin*)
So my next guess is:
Hozier - Too Sweet
