Brimful of ashes

Aaarggh.

I listened to a couple of the tailenders podcasts on Wednesday evening on a long journey home and now can't get this tune out of my head. It's been 3 days now 😩 i hope it goes soon, it's driving me mad.

What is the longest you've had an earworm for and what was it?

My boyfriend has been singing 'I just can't wait to be king' for hours and I'm already ready to bury him.

"Whoa...Bodyfor...rm...Bodyfor...rmmm for youuuuuuu."

Randomly throughout the day I kept coming out with this a few weeks back...why...I don't bloody know Blush

@DappledThings

That's the one. It's nice to see there are others here who listen to tailenders

And yes, the actual match is a bit of a disaster at the moment and getting worse by the minute.

Worst ever... Two Little Boys by the revolting Rolf Harris. I get it in my head every bloody night when DS wakes up. "Did you think I would leave you crying?"

We're not even going to make it to tea today bar a miracle. That means losing in under two days given the rain on day 1. Embarrassing.

Not quite as bad as 2006/7 when I went all the way to Oz for us to lose the series while I was still in Singapore en route!

There is a fair on the country park near me with kids disco blaring out. I now have 'Head, shoulders, knees and toes' stuck in my head!

Round, and around and around for fucking weeks

Now that must have been depressing.

On my bucket list is watching the boxing Day ashes test in Melbourne and the new year test in Sydney.

No, at least we've drawn one this series.

FrancesFryer It was a bit, but still a good holiday. Melbourne Boxing Day test was a great atmosphere. Although freezing! That Boxing Day was 12 degrees, same in Melbourne and Manchester. We were freezing and wearing our novelty Santa hats for actual warmth. But day 2 was 25 degrees. Weird.

Just back from a 2 week holiday where terrible tunes were played from 10 am till midnight every. Single. Day.

So of course I wake up this morning in my own bed with "LET ME SEE THE CUCKOO MOVES" echoing round my poor head.

drsausage · 24/08/2019 15:08

I've had Belle & Sebastian's The Boy With the Arab Strap going round my head for about a week now.

It's disturbingly catchy.

SweetMarmalade · 24/08/2019 15:08

I’ve had a song by Three Dog Night called One (is the loneliest number) ear worming in and out over the past few days. The same few lines though! I’m in perpetual sadness!

Marmite27 · 24/08/2019 15:11

spoonsmum I had an ice cream in a waffle cone earlier, cue, waffle doggy Sad still it makes a change from fecking Vampirina Angry

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 24/08/2019 15:33

I often get people's names stuck in my head.

The only way I get rid of them is by saying it out loud, then it seems to go!

FrancesFryer · 24/08/2019 16:13

Well, well, we got to tea. Only two wickets down too

Oh this is the worst bit, when you start to gain a bit of hope! Smile

notacooldad · 24/08/2019 17:07

I have Metallica's Enter Sandman done in the style of David Bowie in my head after seeing it again a few days ago. To be fair it is quite good but I'm ready for a change for my brain.

FrancesFryer · 24/08/2019 17:39

We need this pair to get 100 each, then Stokes and Buttler to at least do something, and just maybe

DappledThings · 25/08/2019 14:23

Down to double figures but only 4 wickets..... TENSE!!

CuriousaboutSamphire · 25/08/2019 14:30

I knew I shouldn't have read this.. I now have the Andrews Sisters singing Don't Bring Lulu running through my head Smile

toomuchtooold · 25/08/2019 14:35

My internet seems to have a crossed line with some cricketers here. Weird.
Anyway it's the Bubble Guppies theme tune for me. It's never going away.

DappledThings · 25/08/2019 14:38

toomuchtooold Why weird? The OP was about a cricket podcast.

FrancesFryer · 25/08/2019 15:08

The question is, can Archer bat?
