Ever since I watched S8 of Game of Thrones my earworm has been [The Night King](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1frgt0D_f4). The music for the series was phenomenal and that particular piece really resonated with me. Impending mortality. It plays in my head almost all the time. ---

That last Cure/Springsteen/Puddles one was bad. Lasted almost two weeks. Watched late last night the _Community_ episode S01E17 _Physical Education_. It was the first one with a musical montage. Joel McHale and Blake Clark playing pool (while stripping!) to the tune of _Werewolves of London_. NSFW?[Video](https://youtu.be/xB94PrHftIc?t=115)A-oooo. ---

Michi – “Catch a Feeling”. This tune (indie/alternative pop) is mega-infectious and full of hooks. To claim the bonus point: I had the Alona Chemerys channel playing while frying chicken on Tuesday night, and this song has stuck around. ---

I was looking at this thread earlier thinking, you know, I don’t have one at the moment, and that’s really quite nice. And now I do, and it’s [entirely my own fault](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=21974992&postcount=25). The [theme from Z-Cars](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWflrCrwUSw), a 1960’s British cop show of no particular merit. (Though that said, whoever put together that video was having a bit of fun, especially with the actress at 0.41. Hang on for the credits if you can’t figure it out.) j ---

So I got up to _Community_ S01E21 _Contemporary American Poultry_ and the _Goodfellas_ [homage montage](https://youtu.be/Nygtix8HMho?t=5) got _Layla_ into my head. But it only lasted for a few hours. Back to _Werewolves of London_. These were the bad times. ---

Goodfellas always gets [Harry Nilsson - Jump into the Fire](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfjNpgZ4C5Q) from the helicopter scene stuck in my head. My current earworm is a weird song by a great New Zealand artist I’ve been listening to: [Princess Chelsea - Monkey Eats Bananas](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YeLuDgzxCM). It’s like a children’s song, but very weird.
