I meant to post here a few days ago. I had had an earworm for that one song about I love the cocaine, I love the cocaine. I told the girlfriend about it, and she sympathized. It went away later on, and I forgot about it. That evening, we went to pick up our auction winnings. We loaded the car, buckled up, turned the key, and what comes over the radio? I love the cocaine, I love the cocaine. I groaned and she laughed. I re-watched the new Animaniacs last week, and my current earworm is the chorus from [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/1asoj5ltaYQ/maxresdefault.jpg "Animaniacs: S1 Soundtrack | Reboot It | WaterTower") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1asoj5ltaYQ) ---

Two weeks ago I was listening to a local public radio folk music program on a Saturday night. They played this song, which I had heard before on the show but for some reason this time it bored into my brain and has been an unwanted earworm since. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/d0OfNdZaMXA/maxresdefault.jpg "More Wood") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0OfNdZaMXA) The version they played was an abbreviated one.

This brings me back to my childhood. My mom was a big fan of the Hollies. I can remember like it was yesterday, walking home from the bus stop (another great Hollies song!) after school and my mom would have The Hollies blasting through the open windows. ---

Bessie Smith’s version of **Gimme a Pigfoot and a Bottle of Beer**. Great tune, and I like her version more than others I’ve heard. Cool lyrics, too, although there’s at least one mistake in everything I’ve seen online.
