If you had to pick one earworm to hear for the rest of your life

John Lee Hooker with Canned Heat, Boogie Chillen No. 2.

But I have tinnitus, so I’m stuck with Metal Machine Music, side 2.

Well there’s always ‘Honey Pie’ by the Beatles

I was thinking I would want one of the hymns set to the tune of Ode to Joy. As it is I can never remember the words so this would insure that would change!

When all is well, and I am content, the waltz from The Godfather runs through my internal speakers. It is kind of like the purr of a kitten.

Pachebel.. Get all the musics.

Dancing Queen :cool:

Vivaldi’s Four Seasons.

Good choice JohnT

Mmm, hard one - possibly Summoning of the Muse by Dead Can Dance
or Finlandia or some other Sibelius
or The Ghost Has No Home by the Cocteaus and Harold Budd
or maybe Strawberry Wine by MBV (which I have listened to on repeat for 3 hours straight once - it just becomes pleasant background after the first hour, and you skate along the surface and dip in every now and then

Donald Fagen’s I.G.Y. (What a Beautiful World), but only this part:

“Time” by Pink Floyd

Going with Sublime.

Summertime…and the living is easy…

It’s this one: Inspector Clouseau (1968) ~ Main Title - YouTube. It’s the Main Title instrumental theme to Inspector Clouseau, a not-very-good movie with Alan Arkin playing the inspector. My roommate in college had the soundtrack album and played it frequently. To this day I find I can play it in my head whenever I have a bad earworm, and this replaces it, and then goes away shortly thereafter, leaving me happy until the next earworm.

That would be a difficult toss-up between Popcorn and My Pal Foot Foot.

I’d go with the first movement of JS Bach’s second violin concerto.

What? No votes for Alice’s Restaurant?

I’d go with Annie Christmas.

I’ve auditioned one. Back in my retail days, we had to listen to the corporate-sanctioned playlist, using a player whose library was updated every so often. Given the frequency of the updates and the size of the memory, I worked out that there would always be a block of 86 songs which had been there for 10 months. And when you work full time, you can get pretty fucking sick of anything when you hear it at that level of immersion. Even favourite songs by favourite artists make you gnash your teeth after a while.

Except for Breakeven by The Script. Every time it came on: “Oh…this…yeah, I quite like this.” If it’s got to be for ever, I’ll take “quite like this”!

Starship Trooper by YES. Live at the L.A. Forum in 1978.

That’s the cut.

Dave Brubeck Quartet Take Five at the moment. I have been listening to it several times a day since it popped up on Spotify, weeks ago, while I was at work. Absolutely hypnotic and I just keep eagerly waiting for Joe Morello’s drum solo.

You can smell cigarette smoke when you listen to this track. Especially with good headphones, I agree it’s mesmerizing.
