What's your current earworm?

Mine have been a slightly baffling selection just lately. First it was Tiger Feet. Then I caught myself singing Good King Wenceslas in the car, and couldn't get rid of it out of my head, then for several days it was 9 to 5 (for obvious reasons) and now, this afternoon, it has become A Nightingale Sang In Berkely Square, for no good reason I can think of.

Please tell me I'm not alone in this weirdness!

Who Knows Where the Time Goes.

Trying to learn it on electric guitar and singing.

Harvest Samba
If you work in a primary school or have young children, you may know how catchy this is.

I wanna live inside your headphone baby…headphones baby…
And I wanna die together like we're movie stars
Strung out on the bed, over the handle-bars
And they'll bury us in leather in Hollywood forever
Don't you wanna die together?
Don't you wanna die together?

by the Vaccines. It’s been in my head for 2 weeks at least….

It’s been Hallelujah for over a week now.

Any Dream Will Do, which I have consciously been humming for the last ten minutes in order to get rid of some random piano ditty that was played in dd's ballet class about 20 years ago, and which has been bugging me all weekend. It is fighting back though.😂

Ha! I have hey nineteen on repeat quite often..(been a while since I was).

Take it Easy - the eagles. Could be a lot worse!

TheeNotoriousPIG · 20/09/2026 19:18

Mine is To Kill A King's "Choices" and before that, "Funeral". My earworm clearly thinks that they are excellent, although I've listened to a lot of music while milking cows today!

Whatawickedgametochoose · 20/09/2026 19:21

I’m back after Dd2 has been on a Stranger Things binge and being traumatised by Kate Bush. Help me people help me I know what I want to do with that hill!

Raahh · 20/09/2026 19:37

For weeks it has been 'Marlene on the Wall' by Suzanne Vega. Came out of nowhere, but at least I know all the words ( which I don't always with my ear worms!).
It could be worse- but there are times when I wish Marlene and her mocking smile would bugger off .

Grin.

Only respite I seem to get is, bizarrely, in the kitchen . There it changes to Independent Woman by Destiny's Child

My brain screams ' child of destiny' for no reason when I'm emptying the dishwasher.

gettingolderbutcooler · 20/09/2026 19:40

HER and ‘Best Part’. Love it- but can’t get it out of my head…
Ur welcome….🤗

"Long ago, and oh so far away, I fell in love with you... something... don't you remember you told me you loved me baby?" by the Carpenters, after watching the 70 UP programme on catch up TV. One of the girls (women) was shown singing it beautifully at a karaoke in the 70s/80s.

JaneJeffer · 20/09/2026 20:53

Sing by Travis. I have no idea why.

JaneJeffer · 20/09/2026 20:54
