All or Nothing, by The Small Faces
That’s Not My Name by the Ting Tings.
Sorry.
Thanks to Russian Doll, “Gotta Get Up” by Nilsson.
2 o’clock this morning, I woke up with Loudon Wainwright III’s Uptown going through my head. Took me an hour to get back to sleep.
This morning I had three thoughts in my head:
Who else wakes up at 2 o’clock in the morning with Loudon Wainwright III’s Uptown in their head?
Who else knows the words to Wainright’s Uptown?
Who has ever even heard Loudon’s Uptown?
The local PBS station aired an old two-part version of Wuthering Heights a week or so ago. Watched the first part last night. Sarah Lancashire as Nelly!
So I have Kate Bush’s Wuthering Heights running thru my head.
Yep. Earworm hell again.
Only you, I’m far more likely to wake up at 1:30 or 4:45. 
Me, me, me. I seem to have a Wainwright affinity for the whole family’s music.
Far more people than realize it.
Celebration by Kool and the Gang. It’s the first song I heard this morning and I can’t get rid of it.
“Don’t Save Me” - Haim
Popped into my head during my shower this morning and has been playing intermittently all day.
Do yourself a little favor: https://youtu.be/OewLpY6gVd4
God.
If Merle Haggard don’t get outta my head I may jump in the river.
Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight
I heard a song “Golden Blunders” last night by a group called The Posies I think. That led to it.
I think I know that song. One of his best.
Anyway …
Gotta fix something about my Wuthering Heights post. I was puzzled by why I should remember that Kate Bush song so well. Hardly ever heard it back then and then not in decades. But I finally remembered: Pat Benatar covered it and that’s on one of the albums on the SD card in my car stereo. So it’s Pat’s version, not Kate’s that was running thru my head.
Better, bu still not a plus.
I was looking at some MTV award show clips and that made me curious to hear some more Lizzo.
Truth Hurts is fun to listen to. Until the only two lines you know get stuck in your head!
I think I’ll go read the lyrics. Maybe being able to get past those two lines will finally get it out of my head.
“You’ll Be Back” from Hamilton*. So many good songs in that show, but that one crushes all the others with its earworminess. Why couldn’t it have at least been “Room Where it Happens”?
*For context: sung by King George to the revolting American colonists
Now that I’ve been at SDMB this morning,* The Pina Colada Song (Escape)*.
I’ve been in an immature mood all day, and the only song in my head is Enormous Penis.
We were watching the Country Music documentary an hour a night. So a ton of earworms out of that. But there’s some “buts”:
I’d get the “wrong” song stuck in my head. After the Cline part got Sweet Dreams instead of Crazy. Somehow got Hank Williams’ Jambalaya in there at one point. Etc.
But then got to the last episode … nada. Like I’m going to have a Garth Brooks or The Judds song stuck in my head. Says a lot about what happened with country music in that era.
Now that’s all over and one, time for The Cars to re-enter my brain. My Best Friend’s Girl.
It was a soft, sweet song from 1982 and I hadn’t heard it in many years. It came on the radio last week and I enjoyed it. I surprised myself with how much of the lyrics I still remembered. I sang along, and it was nice.
But as an earworm it’s driving me batshit crazy.
The song is What’s Forever For?, by Michael Martin Murphey.

I dare you to listen. Yeah, I double-dog dare you.
I’ve been stuck on (It’s All Down To) Goodnight Vienna for nearly a week now.
