Skinnamarink, unfortunately. I learned it for one of my library storytimes (I worked out a great arrangement for it on uke, too!) and now it’s stuck in my head. The chording is much more complex than my usual storytime songs, so I’ve had to spend some time working on it. I played it first thing this morning and it’s been stuck in my ever since. ---

I think I have the world’s most annoying ear worm right now. For several days, at random moments, I start singing “[Take a Letter, Maria](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9Y0x1jLkLg).” For the love of my sanity, someone make it stop. ---

It’s not one of the world’s worst songs, because there’s a lot of room down there. But I’m still glad that one’s never gotten stuck in my head. I heard it somewhere, probably over a supermarket’s PA system, six or eight months back, and when you actually think about the lyrics, it’s a pretty damn stupid song. I’d advise one dose of Florence + the Machine’s “[Ship To Wreck](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9v8jLBrvug)”. I’m not crazy about the video, but the song is kick-ass, and should dispose of your earworm. ---

I’ve been playing To Be or Not to Be, and finally decided to do a run actually following the play’s plot, and when I got to Hamlet talking to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern about his depression… Well, given the crowd, I think most of you can guess [what got stuck in my head.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fstxNFdQWZQ) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/quick-whats-your-current-earworm/721433.md?page=16) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/quick-whats-your-current-earworm/721433.md?page=18)
