“Here It Goes Again” by OK GO. I blame the SDMB. And YouTube. ---

“She can drive as fast as me, but she stops at all the lights…” From Fred Eaglesmith’s, “Wilder than her”. Whenever I hear this song, (Hubs is a big fan), that line sticks in my head for days after. “She’s a summer storm, I’m a hurricane, one just blows through town, the other blows the town away. I’m wilder than her.” ---

For me, now, it’s Billy Joel’s “The Longest Time”. As often happens, it came from nowhere. mmm ---

Thanks to [You People](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/tell-us-an-interesting-random-fact-you-stumbled-across-part-2/1004785/1462), I got up this morning with the theme from _M\*A\*S\*H_ going thru my head. Complete with lyrics, of course. ---

Out of nowhere, I’ve got [The Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen anthem](https://youtu.be/WKLMI-vMGiE) from _Ren & Stimpy_ running thru my head. First ran in 1993. Not even my favorite R&S song. That’s _[Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!](https://youtu.be/DOkdccLCmJk)_ ---

Over my lifetime I have collected movie posters, and today I was checking recent auction prices and updating my data. So for the last hour or so I’ve had **“We Don’t Need Another Hero”** by Tina Turner playing on my mental jukebox, from 1985’s “Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome.” I never could understand why that was snubbed by the Academy Awards for “Best Song from a Motion Picture.” It’s a great theme song and didn’t even get nominated. The poster is a work of art by the late Richard Amsel, who drew a lot of wonderful movie posters in his brief 37 years on this earth. ---

Thought of “One Million Billionth of a Millisecond on a Sunday Morning” by The Flaming Lips last Wednesday, and it’s been in my head ever since. Fortunately, I like it, and it has a bit of variety. Best song Meddle era Pink Floyd never did.

I’ve been working on a TV theme song playlist. My 'worm over the past few days has been the theme from “Growing Pains”. Og only knows why. I’ve never watched the show, and I can’t stand the song. _Show me that smile again…_ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/quick-whats-your-current-earworm/721433.md?page=80) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/quick-whats-your-current-earworm/721433.md?page=82)
