Quick, what's your current earworm?

I love Winchester Cathedral lol.

I am heading to a different Winchester today (Winchester, Virginia - no huge cathedrals but lots of US history and apples).

The Lee Greenwood song? Maybe you could swap it out for the much more fun song by The Tubes.

I didn’t realize there was more than one. Sadly, the Lee Greenwood version. But right now it’s Brenda Lee’s version of Rockin Around the Christmas Tree, which is much more enjoyable.

Or this

I’ve been listening to the album Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young when I’m in the barn. The song Round & Round (It Won’t Be Long) is stuck in my head. And I don’t even like the song.

Brandenburg concertos.

Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shinin’…

(I blame the scene in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles where Neal and Del are singing it while speeding down the highway in their burned out car)

America’s “Lonely People”.

It is on a Kroger commercial that is airing approximately every two minutes.

mmm

After watching the Brian Epstein biopic Midas Man I had Anyone Who Had a Heart (Cilla Black version) running thru my head. She’s pretty good. But …

Woke up this morning with We Built This City by Jefferson Airplane, er, Jefferson Starship, I mean Starship running thru my head. I heard it in the grocery store 2 days ago. I guess that’s the incubation period for this brain virus. It is really a blah song. People have been making fun of it since it came out almost 40 years ago. No link 'cause you really don’t want to hear it.

It’s so bad I’d rather have a Burt Bacharach song in my head.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, “The Ship Song.” It popped up on my YouTube screen earlier, I listened to it, and now the chorus is stuck in my head. Not that I’m complaining - love the song.

Heh, I have had Ginger Root’s “There Was A Time” stuck in my head for a few days. The studio version is pretty great, but my favorite is this live version:

But of course, at the mention of Bacharach, “I’ll Never Fall In Love Again” is now fighting its way in. :slight_smile:

Little Feat - Day at the Dog Races. My life used to be like dat, but not nomore.

A recent thread on “Yacht Rock” mentioned Steely Dan quite a bit. Against my better judgement I listened to a few of their songs on YouTube, and now I can’t Hey Nineteen out of my head. And I hate the song!

My Girl Bill.
Lumberjack Song.

Hanafubuki - Ai Daro Ai · Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra
This is the studio version, but i love this one :-

After a recent bout of “Little Boxes” from Pete Seeger, I now have “He’s so Fine” stuck up in the melon.

Dood’lang do lang.

One problem I have with earworms (aside with the fact that the vast majority of them are not great songs) is that I am terrible at remembering lyrics. If I’m lucky I can remember 8 bars of words but oftentimes much fewer. So I repeat in my head a small fragment of the song.

The other day I happened upon a song that works: Oh! Forever.by The Brakes (UK). Here’s the lyrics.

Whose a good little earworm. You are!

The keyboardist for The Brakes also played backup for my favorite 2000s girl group, The Pipettes. It’s a Monster Bobby world and we’re just players in it.

For some reason the notification chime on my phone triggers one. The chime is a little “wh-Ping.” And the damn theme song from The Nanny pops into my head. And I don’t even know the words to it. Only “a little girl from Flushing, the nanny named Fran.”

Today while shopping, “I Can Dream About You” by Dan Hartman played on the PA system. I’ve always liked that song, and it’s been rolling through my mind ever since. Dan Hartman was a local guy who really made a name for himself in the music business. Though he had only a couple hits as a solo performer, he was a multi-instrumentalist; wrote, sang lead and played guitar on “Free Ride” by the Edgar Winter Group; wrote and produced “Living in America” by James Brown; wrote songs and produced albums for dozens of musicians and singers. Unfortunately, he died of a brain tumor the age of 43.

For the past several days it’s been Funkadelic - (Not Just) Knee Deep:
