'Earworms' & Stuck-Tune Syndrome

Hmmm. Interesting. I sometimes have minor earworm issues with the chorus of 'Pink Sunshine' by the same band. It hasn't happened for a while.... but I now suspect it has just been triggered again....'when it's good it's wicked at the same time....' .... aaaand there it is.

And now I've got that as well!

caaling CAAL-LING international rescue! .. me and some mates got into a friendly food fight with 'the barking brummie bitches' (that's what they called themselves at the time) one day. They were ace fun. :) We've Got A Fuzzbox And We're Going To Use It. This is back when they were good instead ..

Yup but by accident. Some of my mates were recording a demo in a small studio in the midlands, we turned up with nothing better to do and Fuzzbox were recording on the same day. I didn't chat with them, the others might have but then a good natured food fight started. I can't remember who started it.
 
I have a brand new earworm today, thanks to finally getting around to watching the 2019 movie "Midsommar" last night. The play-out music over the end titles is - weirdly - Frankie Valli's version of "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Any More", which is a great song.... but it's starting to annoy me now.

Why do I feel like the words "your honour" are missing from the end of that post?
 
My current ear worm is just a jaunty song line - but there's no future in it.

Tried Googling, singing it into my phone, asking Techy, drawn a blank. :dunno:

Isn't there a 'phone app for song recognition?
You might try serenading your 'phone!

Tried that, didn't help. The app recognised the words but gave me various wrong songs. :(

HA! Got it! :yay:

Misquoting didn't help. The line is but there ain't any future in it.
Bay City Rollers, Bye Bye Baby.
Still, :dunno:

This is a common earworm of mine:

Why do we always come here? I guess we'll never know. It seems like a kind of torture, to have to watch the show.

Some days I get Kermit's version of "Lydia the Tattooed Lady" stuck in my ear.
 
I've been humming this all day - Barry Louis Polisar singing All I Want is You. Not U2. Or Roxy Music.

If you were a wink, I'd be a nod
If you were a seed, well I'd be a pod.
If you were the floor, I'd wanna be the rug
And if you were a kiss, I know I'd be a hug

If you were the wood, I'd be the fire.
If you were the love, I'd be the desire.
If you were a castle, I'd be your moat,
And if you were an ocean, I'd learn to float.

My wife is giving me grief because her current ear worm is a football song I often sing along to when watching the footie (although I substitute West Ham for Everton :hahazebs::hahazebs:
 
I learned from the other day. I'm not touching either of the two linked songs above.
 
At work today a customer was for some reason playing 'Just What I Needed' on their phone.

Off I went, although the title is the only line I know. :chuckle:
