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?

Ooh I must watch that! I love the Marsh family.

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

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

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.

It's called 'Something New' by JC Londres

Girl by The Beatles

I can hear their harmonising like smoke curling

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Is there really a name for this? I thought everyone did it🤭

I thought so too. I've always got songs 'playing' in my head.

Little Willy (won’t go home).
I found myself singing the chorus over and over again this morning on the way to lunch with some friends.
When I mentioned it, Mrs X promptly googled The Sweet and found the whole song. I didn’t remember the group name and I never realised The Sweet was a group of young men with beautifully groomed long hair.

Go Steady by Sam Ryder. It often is.

Ol Rag Blues by Status Quo. One that always goes round my head when I’m concentrating on doing something! One of my favourite tracks by my favourite band so not surprising!

There’s a worm at the bottom of the garden and his name is Wiggly Woo, after a visit from my GGD.
