I didn’t even realize it until I saw this on the menu, and I had to take a moment to run through a bit of it in my head before I could identify it as Zventa Sventana [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/PRJplGJhctM/hqdefault.jpg "Zventa Sventana russian folk song Ой Заплакали") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRJplGJhctM) ---

I mentioned this band above and linked to their heavy dance song about donuts. But, I found a studio interview where they did 3 other dissimilar, but amazing songs: [Inertia and Depression](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iFs1wQr7-E) [Curious Eyes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwQBFZ4oYf8) [Space Cat](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VKFiRpxY1o) Unfortunately they broke up earlier this year. ---

I don’t know what kicked it off, but this one has been on repeat for a few days. Any Day Now by Ronnie Milsap. I don’t mind too much, it’s a pretty good old song.

Have You Seen Her, by the Chi-lites I've always tried so hard to like this song, but there is just something missing from what should have been a classic. Still haunting. ---

Nothing at all wrong with that. I get _Haunted_, _A Rainy Night in Soho_, etc. in my head a lot. OTOH, this morning it was _Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy_ from _Ren and Stimpy_. Life takes odd turns. ---

Dylan, “Shelter from the Storm.” I read his [Nobel lecture](http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/literature/laureates/2016/dylan-lecture.html) this morning, so naturally all sorts of Dylan songs have been running through my head. He discusses the musical and especially the literary influences on his songwriting. He describes a passage from _Moby Dick_ that could practically be peak Dylan: [QUOTE=Bob Dylan] A Quaker pacifist priest, who is actually a bloodthirsty businessman, tells Flask, “Some men who receive injuries are led to God, others are led to bitterness.” [/QUOTE] [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/quick-whats-your-current-earworm/721433.md?page=29) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/quick-whats-your-current-earworm/721433.md?page=31)
