My husband and I were just discussing Tracey Ullman’s new BBC show, Tracey Ullman’s Show, and I almost immediately got [“They Don’t Know”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9un119lq4c) as my earworm. It’s still just hanging around. ---

Bruce Springsteen’s “Blinded by the Light”. I’m reading Bruce’s autobiography (which is actually pretty good) and he just reached _Greetings from Asbury Park_. ---

Horst Jankowski & His Orchestra: _A Walk In the Black Forest_ (1965). A really odd one. Not just because you hear it so rarely now, if at all, but that I have _no_ idea how it got in there. My brain, it’s melting, it’s melting. ---

You guys are lucky… you get real songs stuck in your head. I tend to get the theme songs to the childrens shows my boys like to watch stuck in my head. Or if the shows have songs embedded in the episodes, they’ll get stuck too. Walk around for 2-3 days with “Go Go Thomas!”, or the themes from “Ready Jet Go!” or “Tickety Toc” stuck in your head, and you’ll be wishing it was a real song. ---

Cripes. Since I watched this a few days ago I keep going back to it as I can’t get the music out of my head. I’ve listened to this at least 20 times today. [Epic Rap Battles - Gordon Ramsay versus Julia Child](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99-n42Xb6NQ) ---

I just finished catching up on some of the Elections threads, came upon this thread, and only then realize I’ve been earworming the 50’s theme song for the film “The Blob.” The same few measures over and over… _" (pop! sound effect) Beware of the blob it creeps, it leaps, it glides and slides…"_ I’ve no idea how, why, or if President-Elect The Donald lit up those particular brain cells. ---

At a restaurant over the weekend I heard that 80’s song Pulling Mussels From A Shell, and I can’t stop hearing it. In the 80’s I scoffed at it, today I’d say it’s kinda catchy. I wouldn’t pay money to hear it, as it is obviously available for free about a thousand times in my head after hearing it once. ---

Or if the shows have songs embedded in the episodes, they’ll get stuck too. This. I currently have “[The Night Begins To Shine](http://teen-titans-go.wikia.com/wiki/40%25,_40%25,_20%25)” by B.E.R. from _Teen Titans, Go!_ in my head. I do not want it there, but there it is. ---
