Ear worms! What’s yours today?

I have ear worms most days, songs or bits of music that play constantly in my head, today it’s ‘Let’s Stick Together’ by Bryan Ferry.
Now, I haven’t heard this song for a long time nor have I been reading about Bryan Ferry so why should this be?
Yesterday it was a piece of music, called I think The Moonlight Sonata, again something I’ve not heard in ages.
Strange isn’t it?

I’ve usually got something going round in my head.

Why is it usually something I don’t like and really annoying?!

Apparently I whistle all kinds of tunes, but I didn't know until someone pointed it out.

I’ve got the piece of music used in the co-op funeral going round and round today (the ad where the deceased had a lot of country and western boots and the undertaker wears a purple pair). I don’t know the name of the piece of music, but it keeps popping into my head a lot today.

“Co-op funeral ad” that should say - “ad” is missing in my post.

Today it’s A Material lover by Sienna Spiro. A lovely chilled out summer tune.

Sometimes they say it's someone trying to communicate with you, don't know if it's in this place or the next !

It's called 'Something New' by JC Londres

Not cultural, but I’ve got Never Ever by All Saints tonight, it was on the radio this afternoon when I went to pick up the dog. It’s very annoying.

Girl by The Beatles

She's the kind of girl that puts you down when friends are round, you feel a foo ool ooh ooh..

I can hear their harmonising like smoke curling

Thanks to the Childhood Songs thread I now have What Shall We Do With A Drunken Sailor going round and round in my head🛥️⚓️😖

Bellanonna Wed 03-Jun-26 21:16:14

Oh no, I don’t dare read any of these!

I currently have Plastic Man by The Kinks whizzing round my head. Fortunately I like the song.

MissAdventure Thu 04-Jun-26 14:54:52

I don't know that song.
Tempted to look it up, but i don't want it buzzing around in mine!

Probably a good idea. It's very catchy and does stick !

On and on it goes, I always used to love this nonsense rhyme, but once I start humming it, cannot get it out of my head...
