[Jokerman](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XSvsFgvWr0&pp=ygUSam9rZXJtYW4gYm9iIGR5bGFu), by Bob Dylan. Not sure how or why, it’s been there for 2 days now. ---

I like to play Microsoft Solitaire games. I listen to music instead of the sound effects while playing. About every 3 or 4 games an ad pops up. One of the more obnoxious ads is for a penile device that allows guys give themselves an erection. Just as that ad started a few weeks ago, the perfect song came up on my Sirius XM feed. Now it’s stuck in my head. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y71iDvCYXA&ab\_channel=ElvisCostelloVEVO](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y71iDvCYXA&ab_channel=ElvisCostelloVEVO) ---

I blame the audiobook of **American Gods**. In it the African spider god Anansi sings a little song as part of a story he was telling. So I’ve got _I Ate Tiger’s Balls_ stuck in my head. ---

The lyrics are in Antillean Creole, I think, so I have no idea what they’re singing. Yet it persists.

**“Back in the High Life Again” by Steve Winwood** has been playing on my mind’s jukebox for the last hour or so. I don’t know why. It’s not an especially favorite song of mine. Something must have reminded me of it, unconsciously, and here it is. ---

I’ve been seeing posts about how [narcissistic personality traits](https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2023.1164725/full) enhance belief in conspiracy theories. So now I have a mild “Narcissisma” earworm (Don McLean). ---

“My Kink is Karma” by Chappell Roan [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCZygoVEkn4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCZygoVEkn4) I really love the song and someone at work asked me recently what I was listening to lately and I recommended it…not thinking that late in the song she basically orgasms.

Wouldn’t be surprised if this was already mentioned, but this one, though I haven’t seen the TV show it’s associated with. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/fOdSUtGmxwU/hqdefault.jpg "WIG WAM - Do You Wanna Taste It - Official music video 2010") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOdSUtGmxwU) ---

Despite the fact that I’ve been contributing to all the "best song beginning with the letter , Tall Boy has been stuck in my head: With lyrics like this, it’s about exactly what you think it’s about. _Not the best opening line, I guess he thinks he’s being flirty_ _But I ain’t got time to talk dirty, it’s beer thirty_ [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/VmpBwgZJPOU/maxresdefault.jpg "Abby Webster | “Tall Boy” | Western AF") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmpBwgZJPOU) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/quick-whats-your-current-earworm/721433.md?page=70) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/quick-whats-your-current-earworm/721433.md?page=72)
