Some ballroom song that I don’t even know the name of (now I have to go youtube it). Chin chin, something something… ---

I just got back from Costa Rica, where I would regularly watch Spanish-Language music videos. Pop songs repeat the same simple phrases over and over, so it helps my listening comprehension. Plus the videos are all arty and deep, or zany, or tell a story – like MTV was 20 years ago. So thanks to “RitmosonLatino” I’ve got a little earworm en espanol at the moment.

I have been singing “Home” by Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes for days now. My coworkers love me. Actually, they’ve started joining in. It’s just about the most joyous and infectious song I’ve ever heard. Even just writing about it makes me want to get up and sing. And this afternoon I had the pleasure of seeing them perform it. Even better than the song itself was the rapturous reaction of the crowd. Dancing, singing, hands in the air and smiles everywhere you could see. What an incredible pleasure. _Home is wherever I’m with you!_ ---

Well, it _was_ Dio’s “Holy Diver”. Until Journey’s “Separate Ways” came on the radio a little while ago. Now that’s lodged in there real good. 😛 ---

At this moment? “Georgie-Porgie” (not even sure that’s the title), from an Eddie Cantor vaudeville act in 1923. Honestly. Second song on [this clip.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Mhpw7gb1fE) ---

\*Poppin bottles in the ice, like a blizzard When we drink we do it right, gettin slizzard Something something something like a three six Now I’m feeling so fly like a G6 Like a G6, like G6 Now I’m feeling so fly like a G6\* (repeat this part eternally) What makes it extra super annoying is that portion of line I can never remember! However, it is MUCH better than when I had “Firework” in my head all last week. Does that word even come in the singular? Grr. ---

For some horrible reason, I tuned to a classic rock station that was playing Styx “Blue Collar Man”, and I didn’t turn it off quickly enough. Ugh, horrid overwrought song that I don’t think I’ve heard in 20 years or so. Ick. So okay, fine, I heard it once, I can get it out of my head. Really. Then, the next day I again turn on my car’s FM, and the song comes on again! Yarg! Earworm! At least it wasn’t “Come sail away” ---

**BigBertha** , that’s a dangerous one if you’re like me and you absent-mindedly sing what’s going through your head. (See also, the Unclefucker song from South Park, and Tim Minchin’s The Pope Song, which starts, “fuck the motherfucker, fuck the motherfucker, fuck the motherfucker, he’s a fucking motherfucker, fuck the motherfucker, fuck the motherfucker, fuck the motherfucking Pope.”) ---
