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!

"And you may not think that I care for you
When you know down inside that I really do
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love."

(I'd never really considered that song problematic before, but now that bit is rattling around my head I'm shuddering at how nasty it is.)

If there's one Bee Gees song I have never liked, it's this one.

I've always vaguely liked it (music of my generation etc.) but now I'm thinking, "Oh shit, it's an abuser trying to lure his victim back in for another dose of whatever mistreatment he's dishing out."

At the moment Wonderlust King by Gogol Bordello has taken my brain by siege.

Mine is from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, the one when Tim Curry comes out of the lift for the first time.

Was that ‘I’m just a Sweet Transvestite, Trans-sexual from ….Transylvania’ ?
Tim Curry at his finest. I’d be happy to have that as an ear worm.

Labor by Paris Paloma. Came across it when reading about the vile Cornell 7.

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

Me too! Wish I was standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona. And I'd love to own a flat-bed Ford.

Bloody hell, I remember that when it came out! And now you’ve got me singing it, and thinking of black-and-white adverts for Nimble bread. I’m getting so old.

It was a few years before my time but it's such a well-known song.

The theme tune from This Is Your Life, didn't even realise till I saw this thread.

Nimble was ordinary white loaf but tiny slices.70s start of the diet food stitch up.
