> [@SCAdian](#): > > Got to be at least thirty years since I last heard this song, which popped into my head a few days ago. A catchy chorus… [(Desert Pete)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08kEFELCb3I) Wow, an earworm that might just make me a better person… Maybe I’ll sing it in my head the rest of the day (but there’s no logic as to what becomes an earworm and what doesn’t). ---

I woke up this morning with a snippet of a song stuck in there. It took me an hour to figure out what it was. Cantaloop. There are worse things to have stuck in your head.

@WOOKINPANUBv.2 that’sa good one. Never heard it before. I’ve got a country music earthworm ringing in my ears the last few days: _I Like It, I Love It_, but Tim McGraw.

I’ve loved Ava Max’s music since “Sweet But Psycho” hit the radio, but she has topped herself in catchiness with Million Dollar Baby. Holy cow.

After hearing about Burt Bacharach’s death I have a number of his going through my head including I Say a Little Prayer (Aretha’s version, linked below, sounds warmer to me than Dionne Warwick’s) [Aretha Franklin - I Say a Little Prayer (Official Audio) - YouTube](https://youtu.be/-8y0onSG3kg) Do You Know the Way to San Jose [Dionne Warwick - Do You Know the Way to San Jose - YouTube](https://youtu.be/CnzTgUc5ycc) What Do You Get When You Fall in Love [I'll never fall in love again - Dionne Warwick - YouTube](https://youtu.be/FzQBOBoPg04) And one that I didn’t know was his, Baby It’s You [Baby It's You (Live At The BBC For "Pop Go The Beatles" / 11th June, 1963) - YouTube](https://youtu.be/ALCgfVoLHm0) ---
