I’m screaming the same thing! Because for me right now it’s Anne Murray in 1980: _Could I Have This Dance for the Rest of My Life_

And I have no idea why this is bouncing around in my head.

AAAARRRG!!

The theme from “The Odd Couple”.

A result of my taking a deep internet dive into the show.

“Canadian Idiot” by **Weird Al**.

Usually as soon as I see the OP in the list, the ear worm that’s ticking along stops and I can’t remember what it was.

born to be alive

My fault for re-watching the [stop motion video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1a2AzvX7pc).

The weird thing is this song apparently hit #1 in 1979. I was a high school senior. You’d think I’d have some recollection of this song. But no, I was unaware of its existence until it got revived as a recent meme.
