I woke up this morning with _Campbell’s Tomato Soup…Possibilities!"_ running through my head. Now it’s apparently stuck on repeat. I think commercial jingles are far worse than ordinary songs being stuck in your head. I think it’s the short length and the repetition. Yesterday, I had “Wild Boys” by Duran Duran stuck in my head and even that was preferable to Campbell’s Tomato Soup. Curse you, jaunty little jingle! ---

Wow, is the jingle THAT old? Because I just caught that worm. And the only words I know are the first four. ---

Would you like some Peter Gabriel instead? “_jeux…sans frontieres…_” is on endless loop in my head this morning. Help! ---

I was plagued by the drum line from that White Stripes tune (the Simpsons planted that worm into my head). I’d love to have a Peter Gabriel brain worm. ---

Y’all should consider yourselves lucky. I’m stuck with “Brand New Day” from \*The Wiz. \*I’d trade it for almost anything else. ---

How about “Wizard of a Day” from an obscure Japanese animated version of _The Wizard of Oz_ sung by Aileen Quinn (Annie in the 1982 movie)? Never seen it? Drat. ---

I’m stuck with the goofy _Vonage_ tune.
