We re-watched _Saving Mr. Banks_, about Mary Poppins’ author and Walt Disney. So… \*Oh, it’s a jolly holiday with Mary Mary makes your heart so light When the day is gray and ordinary Mary makes the sun shine bright! Oh, it’s a jolly holiday with Mary No wonder that it’s Mary that we love! \* It’s driving me crazy. ---

Right this minute: second or third movement of a Beethoven piano sonata in G major. Don’t remember which one it is by number, but I used to play it (_very_ badly) a long time back. ---

[Baba Yetu](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Usth3AZRqDc) Our college choir is practicing this fabulous song. Listen at your own risk, as it is one sticky son-of-a-gun. Impossible to be still while singing or listening to it. It’s the Lord’s Prayer in Swahili. When it’s still running around in your head a week from now…you’re welcome. 🙂 ---

Yesterday there were two separate announcements over the hospital overhead speakers for someone to move their white Lincoln out of the emergency department turnaround. I mentioned to a younger colleague that “son, you’re gonna drive me to drinkin’, if you don’t move that freakin’ white Lincoln”. She didn’t get the reference, so I had to pull up a recording on [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e58NJU5B3v8). Not a bad earworm as such things go. ---

Chris Cornell, “[Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpMfZPAc1kg)” I recently put together a “Best of 2015” disc for my kid sister, so a lot of the songs on it are playing bumper cars in my head these days. ---

Sorry for double post… Anyway, it’s “Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves” but to the tune of the main riff of “Iron Man” by Black Sabbath… “GYP-SIES, TRAMPS AND THIEVES… that’swhatthey’dcallus in the town, (They’dcallus) GYP-SIES, TRAMPS AND THIEVES…” (I apologize in advance for the horror I have just awakened in some’s mind’s ears…) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/quick-whats-your-current-earworm/721433.md?page=12) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/quick-whats-your-current-earworm/721433.md?page=14)
