“Refugee” - Tom Petty. A performance I hadn’t heard before was playing at the hardware store this morning. ---

I’ve been living with _It’s My Party_ by Lesley Gore for the past week. I don’t know why…I didn’t hear it played anywhere. Someone please shoot me. ---

For quite a few days it was Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons’ - **Who Loves You** and then one morning I woke up with **Girls Just Wanna to Have Fun** in my head. I have no idea why. But by typing this, I’m back to **Who Loves You**! ---

“Fat Sam’s Grand Slam Speak Easy” from _Bugsy Malone._ My sister watched it in the other room day before yesterday, and I can’t get that song out of my head. It’s not even my favorite song in the movie! Which is either “Bad Guys” or “So You Wanna Be a Boxer.” ---

Thanks for posting the Erroll Garner link. The YouTube didn’t play for me, but Spotify and Tidal have plenty to listen to. Good stuff.

AC/DC’s “Back in Black”, which was part of a television commercial. I have no idea for which product. Must every pop/rock hit show up in a TV ad? mmm ---

How often are you allowed to post in this thread? There’s something different spinning around in my head every single time the thread title pops up for me, so I could post every 5 minutes for the rest of my life, like probably most of us could.

I have a foster dog named Bobby, so it’s bee perpetually the opening number to the musical _Company_ since I brought him home on Wednesday. _Bobby, Bobby, Bobby baby, Bobby bubi, Robby, Robert darling…_ ---

_Daniel_ by Elton John, which is not unpleasant as far as earworms go. Funnily enough, I’ve heard the song a zillion times without ever knowing Spain was mentioned, much less three times. Also, when Elton sings the line _Daniel, you’re a star in the face of the sky_ it sure sounds like ‘faith’ and not ‘face’ So pondering the song, I made the mistake of Googling the meaning behind it. Bernie Taupin had this to say: > _“The story was about a guy that went back to a small town in Texas, returning from the Vietnam War. They’d lauded him when he came home and treated him like a hero. But he just wanted to go home, go back to the farm, and try to get back to the life that he’d led before. I wanted to write something that was sympathetic to the people that came home.”_ Well, that clears nothing up. How does Spain fit in with that scenario? ---

A piece on the Late Show was about a process server not being able to find Rudy Guilliani. Colbert said that since the names had the same number of syllables, he was legally bound to parody _“Where In The World is…Carman Sandiego?”_, and the band did a great job. My wife pointed out an hour later that I was still humming it… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/quick-whats-your-current-earworm/721433.md?page=72) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/quick-whats-your-current-earworm/721433.md?page=74)
