(I teach preschool)The Temptations’ “Ain’t Too Proud To Beg,” for no apparent reason.
Thanks to that thread elsewhere in the forum about Czech music, Jožin z bažin.
The last week of December I put together a playlist on YouTube of Christmas songs to get in the holiday spirit. Today is February 5 and I still have “Little Drummer Boy” and “Mary, Did You Know?” by Pentatonix playing in my head at least twice a day every day.
I both love and hate you right now.
The best earworms do do that.
Today? Justin Bieber’s “Love Yourself.” :o
Could be worse. After I the first time I saw A Clockwork Orange, I had “Singing in the Rain” worming my ears for three days.
“Will the Circle be Unbroken”. I just picked up the mandolin and this is one of the songs I’m learning so I’ve been playing it over and over and over again.
It was this

Thankfully it got replaced by this, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YH5Arbm47IQ , it still tries to creep in, but I think I got it whipped
It’s now morphed to this cover of Taylor Swift’s Shake It Off, as done by the Screaming Females.
Starman, by David Bowie
Because of this cool Super Bowl commercial that will air later today, in the 1st quarter: Audi Heads to Space With a Stirring Super Bowl Ad Set to David Bowie’s ‘Starman’.
So sing us a song we all know. FFO: TTTYG.
“Hello” by Adele, and “Wish I Could Fly” by Roxette, both of which I’ve only just discovered in the past couple weeks.
For me it’s “Hot Sugar - The girls that stole my Tamagotchi”. Really great to listen to on a rough monday morning 
Back in November I watched the Man in the High Castle on Amazon. Episode 4 began with a song that had a 1940s vibe so I dove into some research.
Turns out the song was Mac the Knife.
Inexplicably I found myself singing some weird lyrics that in no way at all matched the blood saturated ballad that is the true version of the song. Something about a clock striking midnight kept up its aggravating rotation.
Further research brought to light the fact that McDonalds had hijacked the tune back in the 1980s with its own whitewashed version to sell Big Macs and these were the lyrics that first inserted themselves into my earworm playback.
When I first read the actual lyrics I was amazed. Murder depicted in striking detail with bolts of unexpected humor (lies a body just oozin life - Eek!). Lyrics seem on a different plane than the music. A great lesson to use when explaining the meaning of incongruity.
If one ignores the words it’s a jaunty little piece hence the earworm infection.
It comes and goes with me frequently adding to my own discomfort. For some reason. I complained about this earworm to a coworker with the result of having him whistle it randomly during the day. No doubt this contributes to Mac taking up real estate in my head.
This is not the oddest earworm to wriggle itself into my mental arena.
Люсьена Овчинникова - Старый Клен
I keep going back to YouTube lately to listen to John Williams’s “Rey’s Theme” from Star Wars: The Force Awakens: John Williams - Rey's Theme (Audio Only) - YouTube
Also “Cecilia and the Satellite” by Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness: cecilia and the satellite lyrics - YouTube
And Sam Smith’s Oscar-nominated “Writing’s on the Wall” from Spectre: Sam Smith - Writing's On The Wall (from Spectre) (Official Music Video) - YouTube
I love this song.
I have something more annoying than any of you: the soft kitty song from Big Bang Theory.
Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur
Sleepy kitty, happy kitty, purr purr purr
HATE IT MAKE IT STOP
Sometimes, when I’m driving to work, I think of The Terrills and The Hannasseys.
Who’d stand up to “The Major”? Who’d leave Buck Hannassay to go suck eggs? Who’d stand up to either of them day after day…?
Oh, probably no one…
Oh, my GAWD, all day long, today, “Everything is Food, Food, Food, Food, Food” from the Robin Williams/Shelley Duvall Popeye.
I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today…
