I’ve been feeling a bit yucky for a few days. Which means my mind is searching for the worst possible earworms. Today’s is [I Know What Boys Like](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsneH0mOq-0)by The Waitresses. And of course not whole songs or anything. Just the pop-iest little fragments. I’m in Hell. ---

[/SIZE]Coming back from vacation in Las Vegas where the official song of the city seems to be Bruno Mar’s [That’s What I Like.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55AUYnFKJGQ) And now I’m home and cannot escape it. It plays over and over in my head and won’t go away. Help me. . . ---

Amazing. I don’t have an earworm at the moment. How the heck is that possible? I bet I’ll have one by nightfall. ---

The song is [KyoeishinParadox](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQEtQiJWk_k) by the Japanese band **Fuyusuruneko** (which apparently means “floating cat”??). It’s got a good beat and is pretty silly to boot:p ---

Bruno Mars is gone replaced by just a snipped from a song I only read the title of in a different thread here on The Dope. Sweet City Woman is going around up there but only that one part-- Bon, c’est bon. Bon, bon c’est bon. . . over and over again. I do not know why I’m not quite mad yet. ---

Goddamn “Panama Red.” I made the mistake of Spotifying the “Best of the New Riders of the Purple Sage” on Saturday. And THIS is where I end up. I defy anyone to get this damn tune out of their heads. “…bet your woman’s up in bed, with old…Panama Red.” [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Tt6Do5fo4k8/hqdefault.jpg "The New Riders of the Purple Sage - Panama Red - 10/31/1975 - Capitol Theatre (Official)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt6Do5fo4k8) ---

“Hey, Carrie Ann, what’s your game now, can anybody play?” One of the Balloon Juice front-pagers used this (with the name changed, of course) as the title of a post about Kellyanne Conway. Since it’s been about 50 years since I heard this song with any regularity, I’m rather enjoying it. And it’s keeping “Panama Red” out. 😃 ---

“Black Hole Sun”, the worst song to come out of the grunge revolution. It sounds like three harbor seals competing for a minnow. ---
