Bonus point awarded if you can identify why and when it burrowed itself into your ear. Mine is “Good Morning” from ‘Singin’ in the Rain’. I think I heard it in a television commercial a few days ago and it has latched on pretty tightly. mmm ---

There is a trailer (tractor trailer variety) that someone isn’t currently using. The owner spray painted the side of the trailer, “Trailor (sic) For Sale Or Rent”. Every time I see it, boom. (My gf thinks the wording is intentional. I’m not so sure.) ---

For the past few days, since I heard that Hollywood is planning a life-action adaptation of the old animated series “Johnny Quest”, I have had the original tune from the show bouncing around in my head (if you’re too young to have heard it, it’s on you tube–make sure you have the original series, not one of the follow-ons). ---

The past two days three songs have been on repeat in my brain: 1. REM – Stand – I woke up yesterday with it in my head after having a dream where it was background music; 2. Pussycat Dolls – Don’t Cha – no idea where it came from – don’t even really like the Pussycat Dolls; and 3. Van Halen – Tattoo – I get this one often because I can substitute the “Tattoo Tattoo” chorus with so many other things. ---

No one here will ever have heard of mine. It’s from some bizarre animated short called The Island of The Skog that my kids have been watching. My earworm is the national anthem that the Skog and the mice write for their island. "_Shout it once Shout it twice Friends forever! Skog and Mice!_ ---

Sunday’s anthem… And All The People Said Amen… and it’s driving me mad. No problems all the weeks we practiced it, but then Sunday we had the band from the Contemporary Worship Service accompany us, and it changed from a gospel tune to country, with a drumbeat during the (almost) a capella section that was very reminiscent of some 70’s hit I can’t quite remember, and now I can’t get it out of my freakin’ head. I don’t really like this song. I want it gone. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/quick-whats-your-current-earworm/721433.md?page=2)
