For some reason I've got Roger Whittaker's Old Durham Town running around my head tonight. Interspersed with Trains and Boats and Planes (Dionne Warwick version).

What random earworms do you have tonight?

"Pass on your postcode, you're not properly addressed without it" Wee jingle from a TV ad from the 80's. To be fair, this lives rent free in my head nearly all of my waking life 🤯

I was watching that video earlier , he's in his beige suit with his long blonde hair .
Then I went onto Ballroom Blitz by Sweet

Show quote history

I think we were watching the same video, can't believe that song is forty seven years old now.

If I see you walking down the street by Dionne Warwick. It’s stuck in my head

I've got this too. Walk On By. Not random though - one of my dcs is going through painful break up.

Nina Simone - I Love You Porgy

Heard it yesterday on BBC 6 Music with Huey Morgan.

It's my favourite song of hers and I don't think I've ever heard it on the radio before.

Unfortunately it's the jingle from the new Peptobismol advert, 'do you have nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach...diarrhoea-ah', kill me now 😱

Kendrick Lamar & SZA ‘Luther’. Off the back of his Super Bowl Halftime performance I’ve downloaded his latest album and am loving it.

I’ve also been going down YouTube rabbit holes with reaction videos, especially to the part of the show where he sings ‘Not Like Us’. The look dead into the camera and the ‘Say Drake. I hear you like them young.’ is just pure diabolical, chef’s kiss perfection and I can’t watch it (and people’s reaction to it) enough!

I’m so happy to know it’s not just me! Today’s Kendrick earworm is Humble. He won’t get out of my head. Which is fine.

I have been watching an old series of Race Across The World on i-player. That and the current international situation makes it perhaps not completely random that I have Tears for Fears' Everybody Wants to Rule the World on a loop between my ears!
