The good news is that I’m suggestible enough that right now I have every song mentioned in this thread (that I know) swirling together, with none anchored enough to be declared a worm yet.
If my trip away from the keyboard to wake is any indication, Erasure is the frontrunner, though I’m rooting for Cyndi Lauper singing Walk on By, or Drove All Night - that’d be a good one I’d like that one. As if that would work.
No, I’m sure to get stuck with the electronic Yellow Rose of Texas that all the toy posts in this thread recalled for me. It was a plastic pony. My son dropped it in the car and it got wedged under the seat with the button stuck down so it repeated the first 1.5 bars. Dee-dee-dee-dee-dee. until we could pull over. (Yes we stopped taking it in the car)
For about a week my earworm has been Return To Me sung by Dean martin. Before that it was several weeks of Gwen Stefani’s Wind it Up - what is it with brothers-in-law and their TiVos? Mine saved Gwen S performing that song on SNL for months just to show me on a visit. Why? “It’s the weirdest thing I’ve seen on TV in a long time and it made me think of you.” Thanks, bro.
“Ease on Down the Road”
It’s one of the songs we’ve been working on for our Picnic Day street show. And, being a show-tune, is incredibly susceptible to ear-worm-hood.
Lately it’s been “One Night In Bangkok” by Murray Head and the male half of ABBA…especially the part where the girls in towels (in the video) sing “Tea, girls, warm and so sweet…some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite”.
“Turf Dancing” by DJ Shadow. Sounds nothing like what he’s done before, far far more mainstream but in a good way. High energy, almost volatile song, it makes me wish I could turf dance or dance at all for that matter…
The I Dream of Jeannie theme has been stuck in my head for the past year or so.
I often myself whistling The Colonel Bogey March for no reason when I’m bored, which seems to drive everyone mad because a lot of people recognise the tune, but can’t place where they’ve heard it before…
On a recent vacation, we had a last minute loaner instead of our vehicle and none of our cd collection. Just Continuum. It’s been lodged in my noggin for near a month now.
This time it’s Magnetic Fields’ “When my boy walks down the street.”
Just a snippet:
Butterflies turn into people when my boy walks down the street
Maybe he should be illegal, he just makes life too complete…
Amazing, he’s a whole new form of life
Blue eyes blazing and he’s going to be my wife
