I have two current ones, both have a common theme (kinda childlike female vocals): \* Adventure Time\* [closing theme](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEJ4spdiTxw) and [Dumb Ways to Die](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJNR2EpS0jw) (which is an _ **awesome** _ Melbourne Metro safety campaign) ---

> [@MrDibble](#): > > [Dumb Ways to Die](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJNR2EpS0jw) (which is an _ **awesome** _ Melbourne Metro safety campaign) I’ve had that one, too, and it’s great. Right now I’ve got Jonathan Coulton’s [Mandelbrot Set](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIlwFpz9s_I) going through my head. Brilliant lyrics. _Mandelbrot Set, you’re a Rorschach Test on fire You’re a day-glo pterodactyl You’re a heart-shaped box of springs and wire You’re one badass fucking fractal_ There’s also [this video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ES-yKOYaXq0), which is totally brilliant, but only one verse. ---

Two right now, and the second has a visual 😛 [Despicable Me](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lJRTeCMvGc) - we went to see DM2 Saturday:D [highly recommend it.] [Thunderstruck](http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x11b3v2_ac-dc-cover-the-badpiper-thunderstruck_music#.UdqS46x-7o0) - the BadPiper version, with mental visuals 😃 He just looks like he is having SO much fun! ---

_Amazing Grace,_ because I just came from a memorial service where I played it, to much acclaim, I might add. ---

My current earworm is [Story](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWysYDCh3KM) by Great Northern. I’m happy to report that the whole album is really good. Has sort of a Snow Patrol feel to it. ---

Frank Turner - although my thread got no traction - [Anymore](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ8UP11zPKc). Song starts at about 35 seconds in if you want to skip the intro. It’s been in my head for days… \*The single saddest thing that I ever heard you say Was on the day I told you I had to go away. You said “Darling baby please, if you really mean to leave, Can’t I just hold you for a little while longer?” And the single hardest thing I ever had to do Was take your arms from round me and walk away from you. And I know I shouldn’t have kissed you as a I left, Darling I should have been stronger. Not with a bang but with a whimper. It wasn’t hard, it was kind of simple. Three short steps from your bed to your door, Darling I can’t look you in the eyes now and tell you I’m sure If I love you anymore.\* And if that doesn’t make you cry, dunno what will. ---

The one that keeps getting me is Vampire Weekend’s [Diane Young](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mX46e4GtlXM). It’s not a bad song and it’s kind of catchy but the thing about it that I really hate is the blatant, obvious autotuning used during it. Maybe that’s the point. ---

Ever since July 4th, when \*the Music Man \*was on: Shipoopi, Shipoopi, Shipoopi, the girl that’s hard to get… Maybe _Dumb Ways To Die_ will drive it out. ---

[The Raveonettes - Here Comes Mary](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBkgcc-XCmo) It’s from their album _Pretty In Black_. The whole album is awesome, but this song in particular has been stuck in my head for weeks now. ---

I have Dido’s [White Flag](http://www.metacafe.com/watch/sy-18085992/dido_white_flag_official_music_video/) looping in my brain. Which is not a song I really know well so I’m a little surprised. ---

Two Gallants - [Winter’s Youth](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=df0RMUezuN4). I figured this out on guitar after seeing them a week ago and haven’t been able to stop playing it or get it out of my head since. [Studio version](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFxC32rRIj8) ---

Well, since I declared their new album to be the soundtrack to my summer, it’s really no surprise that one of their tunes is my current earworm: [Suicidal Tendencies - Who’s Afraid?](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7pzgPZJlrM) ---

Which is not a song I really know well so I’m a little surprised. Those can be the worst ones for me, the songs that I know just enough to get the chorus in my head, or a single line. That particular song is pretty earwormy for me, too. ---
