I had something stuck in my head early this morning. I shifted it with _Gur Nal Ishq Mitha_ by “Mighty” Malkit Singh. Now I have _Gur Nal Ishq Mitha_ stuck in my head and I can’t remember what the first earworm song was. ---

For reasons I can’t explain, _You’ll Never Find Another Love Like Mine_ by Lou Rawls pops into my head frequently at work. My cure, as recommended by Dave Barry in one of his articles, is the first line of _Muskrat Love_. It doesn’t cure the problem, but it sure makes beating yourself into a coma seem like a good idea. ---

Try whistling “Baby Elephant Walk”. It’ll get stuck, and it’s fun to get stuck in your coworker’s heads. Woo-hoo, I’m passive-aggresive! ---

The song that always gets stuck in my head (and I only have to hear the opening bars anymore) is the hideously evil: Breakfast at Tiffany’s. I call it the evil song, and race to turn off the radio as soon as I hear the opening bars, but by then it’s too late. Yikes! ---
