If you think earworms are bad try listening to French pop music for a while

My current earworm is Kites by Simon Dupree and the Big Sound (hence my pop quiz question yesterday). It seems a bit ballad-y and slow, but it has a soaring chorus which is just right when you're accelerating from the lights...

Programme on a mediaeval earworm (L'homme Armé) on Radio 4 now.

Thanks to Ken Bruce & PopMaster yesterday, I'm having trouble getting rid of the Dixie Chicks 'There's Your Trouble' $:-\$

This morning was a bizarre mashup of Cass Elliott's It's Getting Better with TRB's It's Getting Tighter. Worked unusually well, as it happens

I had Fame the other day. And not the chorus, either

Anyone else out there going to own up to fanatsising about the Teutonic Rock Chick in leather trousers?

She didn't shave her armpits, which was certainly an attraction to a teenage boy...

But last night & this morning's persistent earworm is from Rumer:

Quote from: Rumer

Slow
Slow this right down
Don’t burn it out
Don’t let it show
Slow
Oh but my heart is racing...

Not high in the list of motivational songs for cycling

My fault, I suppose. I made a lame joke to Butterfly about 'The Final Countdown' just before leaving the house...

Fortunately, by the time I got to work, I'd been through the chorus of

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q7vsoVR5NX4&rel=1" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/Q7vsoVR5NX4&rel=1</a> several times by the time I got to work.

I don't know about anyone else, but for the last week or so I've been getting Every Sperm Is Sacred stuck in my head whenever I come into contact with the news media.

clarion · « **Reply #138 on:** 16 September, 2010, 09:48:35 pm »

That scene has been quoted on here in the last few days.

Last week I had

No2daughter has Katy Perry (ft Snoop Dogg) as her alarm. This is a bad enough ditty to ruin your day with, without the added burden of not knowing the words and so having this:
California girls they're unforgettable,
Daisy Dukes, bikinis on top,
Something else that I,
Cannot remember
ooo oo o o

Is driving me nuts.

Something about a popsicle, I believe.

Mind you, I can't criticise. My earworm this morning was Butterflies by Tone Damli. It's really quite catchy and has an exuberant chorus.

You'll be relieved to know that of those it was the latter that accompanied me from one site to another in the fog at lunchtime. Otherwise someone at my second site might have experienced pain.

It's a lovely, cheery tune.

Today I have been mostly earwormed by this:
