Museum of Idiots, by They Might Be Giants.
I have had the part that comes between each verse–the part that starts with quiet low horns, then repeats similar notes but with loud high pitch horns–stuck in my head for two whole days now.
This is how it is for me. This is my life. I have had a musical phrase consisting in a single four beat measure stuck in a loop in my head before. Gah!

The Anvil Chorus, from whatever. In this case, from a bastardised version in a radio ad. Grr.
Today it’s the theme tune from “Shaun the Sheep”. Yesterday it was “The Hoobs”. Yes, you can see the quality of my viewing…
“Boys and Girls of Rock & Roll” from the animated movie, The Chipmunk Adventures.
It is where they were dancing on the old Grecian ruins.
“Patches,
I’m dependin’ on you, son
To pull the family through
My son, it’s all left up to you…”
Land Down Under by Colin Hay off his Man at Work album. Great song but I would like to stop hearing “buying bread from a man in Brussels…he just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich” over and over.
Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring,
Banana Phone!
I have played that record (LP!) every summer since I bought it, for nostalgic reasons. However, I understand your predicament.
My brain is on a Sesame Street kick. Remember that little stop-motion animation of 3 stripy balls and a polka-dot ball, where the different one wants to play? It has the world’s catchiest tune. I’ve been whistling it for two days now.
This morning, I varied the earworm menu by telling my little girl that “everybody poops.” Bam, now “Everybody Sleeps” is in there too, alternating with the stripy/polka-dot drama.
Nothing else matters 'cause I
I need your love
And nothing else matters 'cause I
I need your love…
Bedroom Rockers “Nothing Else Matters”
I was reminded of it by a CSI Miami episode last week, and this is the only place I can find the whole song online. Too bad the cheapest I’ve seen the cd is over $22…
The music from ‘Boomshine’, which is fine because it’s peaceful and lovely and the tune is just long enough that it doesn’t feel repetitive.
‘Around the World’, sung by Christine Ebersole in the Broadway show GREY GARDENS. Saw it last Friday and got the OBC right then and there.
“Bye Bye Blackbird,” the Miles David/John Coltrane version. Very nice.
Dogs. Not that that’s a bad thing. I aquired Animals last week and have been listening to it every day.
Dragged down by the stone!
one!
one!
one!
one!
one!
one!
one!
one!
one!
one!
one!
Heh! We just saw them last night (Cyndi Lauper’s True Colors tour) and I also had that (well, have that again now) as my earworm.
Raffi’s “Bananaphone.”
God help me.
Alas, I’ve now moved on.
Not in a good way, either.
Party Like a Rock Star
t-t-t-totally, dude!
(I would have LOVED to see that concert though. I adore Cyndi Lauper sigh)
watched “Rent” this weekend and now I have the “five hundred twenty five thousand, six hundred minutes” song running over and over and over, etc… ad nauseum!
