I recently learned the tune of the “Notre Dame Victory March” just so I could sing [this song,](http://www.tomsmithonline.com/lyrics/trans_poly_u.htm) and it turned into a three-day earworm. ---

From [Britt Black’s album _Blackout_](http://www.amazon.com/Blackout-Britt-Black/dp/B000FZESIU), the song “Good Girls.” [Hear it here](http://www.youlicense.com/SongDetails.aspx?ID=20695) (click the little play arrow next to the song title). BTW, this is an excellent representative of the rest of the album: great, sometimes insanely catchy musical hooks, and solid, confident rock-n-roll production, combined with lame, occasionally painfully puerile lyrics. But hey, she wrote these songs when she was 19, whaddaya want. 😛 Anyway, brilliant musical hooks = earworm city. At least it isn’t “It’s a Small World After All,” which I had in my head for a fucking _month_ a few years ago. ---

Cruel To Be Kind, by Nick Lowe. I saw him in concert about four months ago and it pops into my brain every other day. Not that I mind, really. It’s a great song. [Here.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JJ7oGHwMTI) ---

[Japanese Boy](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5htHp8tihTg) by Smile.dk. Warning: I didn’t say it was a _good_ song, just an earworm. At least it’s better than the [original](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCH1IlOfDTM) I just looked up… _shudder_ That’s hilarious that they apparently put it in GTA Vice City; I can see them doing that.

Since yesterday-- [Kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty TOUCH IT!](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMRaSXh9-n4) The Presidents of The United States of America make the stickiest of ditties. It stuck with me so much I bought their Super Bonus Ten Year blah blah blah album for mere pennies. Everything I wanted to hear was on there except Cleveland Rocks! I can find Ian Hunter’s version but not theirs. ---

_Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry When I take you out in the surrey When I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top_ If I was going to name a favorite musical, it would be _Evita_. I think _Oklahoma_ is so-so. Why is this song lodged in my head? 😕 ---

_Katy Cruel_. I grew up listening to my dad’s records, one of which was a collection of folk songs from the American Revolutionary Era. This song was on that album. A couple of weeks ago I went to hear a band whose lead singer is a member of my theater troupe. She’s got a rich, creamy smooth alto voice that I could listen to for weeks and never tire of. The first song her band played was _Katy Cruel_, which I hadn’t heard in…oh…20 years or so. Probably longer. Now it’s stuck in my head. Not that I have a problem with that, actually. It’s a lovely song. ---

I think _Oklahoma_ is so-so. Why is this song lodged in my head? 😕 For some very, very strange reason, I read the first lines to the tune of Sentimental Lady: _Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry When I take you out on the surrey Sentimental, gentle wind Blowing through my life again. . ._ ---

For the past couple of weeks, [Rocket O’ Love](http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=pir69Od-y0s) , by The Knack. Cool song, but, man, I am sure getting tired of hearing it constantly in my head.
