I don’t actually listen to music very often but I seem to constantly have an earworm running around in my head, often something I heard several days/weeks ago.

I’ve recently been binge watching Friends since it is my last chance to connect with the rest of the my generations zeitgeist before it moves off Netflix, and have had smelly cat running through my head non stop for the last two days. Since almost anything has got to be better than that, I welcome your earworms to drive out whats in my head.

“I’ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm”

Every year I pick a Christmas song of the year that becomes my theme for the holiday season. I had been thinking about “I’ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm” for a while, so over the weekend I decided to check out various versions online to see which one I preferred (Bette Midler won). Of course now the song keeps popping into my head at random moments.

I don’t celebrate Christmas, so most of the songs I pick have no connection to the religious holiday, although I have included some traditional favorites.

Bach’s “Bouree” in E minor (as interpreted by Mike Batt on the album Schitzophonia).

As to _why_ … I’m at a loss.

Previously Our House, also by Madness, but House of Fun has more worming power, so it won out.

I just cannot get The Rolling Stones’ Can’t You Hear Me Knocking outta my head/ear, especially the opening riff: ta-ta-ta ta-ta ta-ta ta-ta-ta-ta (and the cymbal goes “crash”).

One of the guys at work quietly sings a bit of [Ken Lee](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQt-h753jHI), the Mariah Carey hit, every now and then. I end up with “tilibu dibu douchoo” going through my head all day.
