Rasputin on 1905 Marenghi Organ - this guy has too much time on his hands!

Now who remembers the Maynards Fruit Gums advert? "Hoots mon, there's a moose loose aboot this hoose!"

Great stuff, where is the organ situated? There was a place in Cornwall we visited once that had loads of organs. Something magical music machines I think it was called
A woman's place is in her garden.

Gorgeous organ piece!

Does anyone remember 'The Guinness Clock'?

The brewery also had a boat on The Thames called 'Gigfy'... (Work that one out)!

Nothing to do with earworms, but fair game really...

Morecambe used to have a Guinness clock on the prom. As for earworms, blimey Mr G, I was going to start a thread about them. I woke up the other day with Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, the next day's was I will always love you (ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo) and today's is some unknown tune I seem to have made up.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

I had a very sad one several months back, GG...

It was 'In Paradisum' by Durufle, and I just couldn't get it out of my head..:0(

I can still remember waking up to 'Vincent' by Don McClean around 1972, and feeling absolutely miserable for days afterwards - it is such a lovely song too...

On the other hand, Mrs Growster and I recently seem to like making up silly (very rude) words to 'Let's get together' by Hayley Mills! Mrs Growster is also on the case with 'The day we went to Bangor', by Fiddler's Dram!

I have a friend who I chat to on the phone every day, and I sometimes try to think of a new greeting just to avoid groundhog day syndrome.
Yesterday I sang 'Hey Baby, I'm your telephone man.' ;)

Trouble is, it stays with me all day (make that two days now I've mentioned it again!)  :wacko:  :lol:

Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

I woke up with "Vienna"  Ultravox ?   But I only knew Ah Vienna, so back to the drawing board, something will soon pop into my head.  :D

Which got my head running Sweet Harmony by Beloved from the early 90's - a period which didn't have much going for it musically. Still, this is soft on the ear.

I met Midge Ure in a bar once, he wasn’t impressed that I didn’t really know who he was although Vienna was/had been no 1 or in the charts for an age lol

Just because I'm YouTubing all these, the app sends me similar pieces, and this one cropped up - again! I'm sure a chum here told me what or where it came from, but it's another current earworm...
