I have Joan Jett’s _I hate myself for loving you_ stuck in my head. Worse, I had a roommate in college who would mangle the words on purpose and many of his words are part of the earworm. (_I hate myself for sniffing glue_ being one of the least annoying.) What’s in your head? ---

Rotating between the theme from [_The Wild, Wild West_](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jY22VC7IB5U), that music from the jump-rope sandwich meat (?) commercial, and something from _Swan Lake_. Knead Yeah, it’s a mess in here ---

[Tommy heavenly6 - I’M YOUR DEVIL](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_z3Q2pP9Wqw) Only just recently got it…it is awesome. (A bit reminiscent, musically, of her earlier song Always Something New, but not in a bad way.) ---

[Tiger Rag](http://www.jazz-on-line.com/a/ramb/Joh108.ram), by the Jack Payne band. Twitchy staccato 30s jazz, not so much an earworm as a colony of earsquirrels. ---

I have two theme songs going pestering my ear: _Hawaii Five-O_ theme, and the Theme from _The Magnificent Seven_. Both understandable: Watched the new _Hawaii Five-O_ for the first time Sunday night, after the football game and watched an old repeat of _Cheers_ last night and the gang was humming the theme from the _Magnificent Seven_. BTW, When typing _Hawaii Five-O_ is with an “O” or a “0”. I chose “O” because that is how it is said, but I know the “Five-Oh” is supposed to be a play on 50. As in State #50. ---

“If I Should Fall From Grace With God”. [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrBLqp-s__o) I know I’m way late as far as when this song first came out, but I did hear it for the first time on that commercial which has led me to listen to some other **Pogues** material. Funny, but when I first heard it, I thought it was \*\*The Proclaimers \*\*or **The Hooters**! 🙂 Awesome how great they can play drunk! 😉 Thanks Q ---

Because my son mentioned\* it yesterday, I’ve got [Billy Stewart’s version of Summertime](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xrhcQcAJSI) scatting through my head. P.S., I didn’t know Billy was so, um, rotund. \*He actually asked me, “What’s that Summertime with the brrraaappps all up in it?” ---

_Nearer my God to Thee_ (instrumental string quartet version) because I watched Titanic last night. It was rifftraxxed Titanic though. I can’t stand the hokey parts of that movie without the MST3K voiceover. But I still cry when I see the mom reading her kids to sleep.
