At this moment, it happens to be Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B. Goode.” No idea why. This thread made me realize I probably spend a lot more of my day with some song in my head than I thought. ---

[This](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=On3etueeGIg) Lord help me… I don’t know why… but I heard it once and it’s stuck there. Somewhat NSFW… by the subject matter… or rather how it is explained… or rather… Aw hell it makes no sense. ---

“Lollipop, lollipop, oh lolly lolly lolly…gee my lollipop is great!” I don’t know why, unless it’s because I thought about Otter Pops earlier (and how we will need them today because it’s going to be 105, only we’re out :() and sometimes I sing about Otter Pops to that tune. ---

Funny you should ask. Right this moment I’m hearing Mozart’s Symphony in G-minor, first movement. I can’t remember the last time I had such an intelligent earworm; mine are nearly always lowbrow pop music snippets of some sort. Silly 1950’s commercials, eg. . ---

> [@BrainGlutton](#): > > “California Gurls” by Katy Perry. “Daisy Dukes, bikinis on top . . .” Same here; I might not have gotten so hooked if I hadn’t seen the [video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwE-SLnLkqY)…Ms. Perry is looking very good in that one, and I crack up at the “nozzle-play” at the end and Snoop’s reaction to it. ---

[Pearl Jam - Yellow Ledbetter](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hs8y3kneqrs&feature=related). It stays in your head because your mind keeps trying to ‘sing’ the lyrics. Arrggh.
