At the moment, it’s a swing/blues version of Billy Joel’s “I Go To Extremes” that I just heard at Olive Garden (might have been Tony Bennett). ---

A song parody of “Carrying the Banner” from Newsies. My friend wrote it and I’m going to be in his show and have been practicing endlessly. My brain’s been switching back and forth from the original to the parody for most of the day. ---

> [@Dr.Girlfriend](#): > > The theme song from “WKRP in Cincinnati”. No idea why. Sorry about that everyone who now has it in their head too. Thank you. It replaced “Midnight at the Oasis,” by Maria Muldaur, which sprung into my head for no apparent reason while I was leaving from the grocery store. My earworms are stupid and annoying and ever-present. ---

This one came up in conversation with **Zoe** as we were waxing nostalgic yesterday. _Check out the YouTube comments if it sounds a tad familiar – and if your are nine days older than dirt!_ [You Don’t Have To Be A Baby To Cry by Tennessee Ernie Ford on Mono 1955 Capitol 45.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8YAcVf9rVg) ---

People ask me why I rarely listen to music. Well, it’s because I have a steady stream of amazing variety stuck in my head. Tonight’s was stuff I like–dance music from the Renaissance. I once survived an entire year of “I’m an Old Cow Hand from the Rio Grand.” ---

> [@JackieLikesVariety](#): > > sadly, the theme to Petticoat Junction. Yes that is sad. I’m so sorry for you. Sometimes a mention of a song I know will plant an earworm. Thankfully this isn’t one of those times. ---
