I always have an earworm, and oftentimes a rotating plethora of them. So for me to drop into this thread to name my current one, well, this one is powerful. It’s cannibalized all the others, and has taken over for a month at least

It’s 2:30 AM and I just woke up for a bio break…
**AND THIS SAME DAMN SONG IS STILL IN MY HEAD.**
How does one get rid of an earworm? Do I have to drive south 400 miles, go to Disneyland, and ride the It’s A Small World boats???
_ **AAAAARGH!!!** _
Damn you, Anne Murray, get out of my head! I don’t even like the song.

The Linda Ronstadt/Kevin Klein version. It’s available to me, and has high production values.

I saw a tiktok video of the cast of Anchorman on stage somewhere singing a nice acapella version of Afternoon Delight. UGH That song has been running through my head for 2 days!

I keep listening to this. Bleakly beautiful and just a little creepy - adapted from the title music for the true-crime HBO documentary _I’ll Be Gone in the Dark_:

I just had a rough couple of days with Wow by Kate Bush. No link provided. I _do not_ like that song.

Boor-is the spiii-der! I came into my ear when I read about death growl voices and I saw Boris Johnson in my mind. If has been haunting me ever since.

This one snuck up on me as I was working outdoors and playing my iPod on shuffle. I had no idea it was in my collection.
It may not be the worst song ever recorded, but it’s in the running for most revoltingly awful excrescence of the 1950s.
