I’m a little teapot short and stout… I’ve met more than a few people who use it to get rid of other earworms, so it must be better, right? At least earwormier. ---

It is my opinion that Jason Mraz’s recent hit [_I’m Yours_](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkHTsc9PU2A) may be the catchiest song ever recorded. I recently had it stuck in my head for a solid week. There was one day it popped into my head the second I opened my eyes in the morning. It was driving me crazy. ---
