Y'know, the bits of music which just won't go away!

My latest is 'Clocks' by Coldplay, and that simple starting piece on a piano just goes round and round...

...and round and round and round...

...and round...

For some reason, I woke up with the guitar hook for Bon Jovi's Wanted Dead or Alive.....
and could actually remember most of the words, including - "When you're alone all you do is think"

After a cuppa most of the words have gone, but that hook is still there 

Yesterday was Singing Sweet Home Alabama (All Summer Long) by Kid Rock. I seem to be having my very own rock revival lately

This one's weird: Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money) by Pet Shop Boys. The song is being used in an insurance advert on TV, featuring a driver and his car's metallic female hood ornament, singing that song to one another as a duet.  The ad should come with a warning, "if this is happening to you, pull over immediately and call medical help, you're hallucinating". I couldn't make this up if I tried.

The ad is playing heavily, so the song usually ends up in my head several times a day. An ice pick might dislodge it, but I don't have one of those; probably for the best.

Jailhouse Rock and The Floral Dance    After the sound of the big base drum, make it up as I go along     Had these two for a few weeks now.    Mrs Bouquet

You can get rid of any earworm by singing Nellie The Elephant.





You can thank me later.

Fabulous, and I also love your version!

We listen to Wave Radio in the van whilst on the to and from work.  Every morning they play a 'guilty pleasure' and some of them have been real corkers.  They tend to stick in my head all day as they bring back memories.  Todays was Lily the Pink and the other day it was Dearest Father, Dearest Mother, you know, the one about going to summer camp.

Did you know 'Lily the Pink' is based on a real life alcholic tonic sold in the USA during prohibition ?
Lydia Pinkham is worth googling.

There's another fabulous track, which gets a hum and a tap most days - always has done actually!

We just love the joy of the music, and being a red-blooded Growster, there are several more reasons as can be seen in this clip...

For the computer gamers on the forum who play games like Minecraft and Dwarf Fortress, I offer "Diggy Diggy Hole"...

Do NOT play this video near any pre-teen kids because they WILL sing it over and over and over...

Imagine.. you're stuck in a cell, being fed dogfood unless you come over to the enemy. But there's music, loud music. Just one song repeated endlessly

And for suggesting Diggy Diggy Hole which my grandson has found on Alexa, Mr Coffey is ordered to play this

Did you find the Metal version of Diggy Diggy Hole by Wind Rose? Not as good as the original but still a good song!

Bit Nordic that - slightly off the earworm topic but rather amazing. Heilung - Krigsgaldr
