Earworm Of The Day: What's Yours Right Now?

"I wish they all could be California"

Nobody needs to be told who sung this, but just in case: Beach Boys.



Reading an in-passing comment about "California Babes" at a rock concert inevitably pressed the Play-Loop button in my head on this line. It's going to be there for the rest of the day.


By the way, does anybody know how to include start/end times in insert-media YouTube links on this site? My earworms are usually just a single line.

 

Lucas the Lazy Lion, from the Beautiful Creatures album by Ed Jordan and Alan Glass. I have an 18 month old daughter...most of my earworms are kids songs now .

 

Because 90s.

 

last night for some reason The Wombles popped into my head, no idea why - luckily it was soon replaced by Teardrop by Massive Attack!

 

My brain keeps reverting to fragments from Forever Changes by Love.

 

Skinny Puppy. Given I love break beats and Metal this track hits a sweet spot. Bonus, the lyrics are worth the listen...



Industrial can be surprisingly catchy without losing its edge.

 

Kinda feel this album never got the respect it deserves, super poppy, but just fun and really well done. Been stuck in my head since I listened to it on Song Exploder.

 

Inside my head today is a jumble of unidentifiable melodies. Probably, my skull is not providing good enough shielding!

 

Be warned. Before Calvin Harris was ultra popular he was the master of electronic ear worms. That chorus is killer...

 

This track gets me every time. There are no words, pure Pop bliss.

 

Earworms are often disjointed phrases...

Take me to portugal, take me to spain... take me, like I know you can, spanish caravan... again and again...

 

This is the worst kind of earworm: the song that grips the brain like a cruel and unusual punishment, whether you like it or not.

So, when anyone mentions the UK town of Crewe, this is what happens in my head

 

Damn! As if Crew wasn't bad enough, now someone goes and mentions Niagra...
