What's Your Current Earworm?

[SpikyMikey]

Or am I being a miserable old git?

What can I say?
Yes.

Very very annoyingly it is 'Lets Go Fly a Kite' ( Mary Poppins ) - Absolutely no idea why, haven;t seen the film in probably 45 years....... Sigh

Have you been writing any cheques recently?

I've been familiar with the term 'ear worm' for decades. Maybe as I have links to the music industry and musician friends.
The latest hi-res remasters of some old classic from half a century ago have allowed us to hear the songs better than some of the artists would have heard as they recorded them!
The Beatles 'Revolver' is a startling work of art, but the track "Money' from the latest remaster of Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon is my current ear worm.
As a former sound engineer, I'm stunned by the restoration work on some of these great sounds from our 'yoof'

Thanks Mactech!
I now can't unhear this, not that it isn't fabulous

Great ear-worm and great album. A few years ago I had an urge to listen to Dark Side again, hadn't played it for years but put it loud on the car stereo and thoroughly enjoyed the music and the nostalgia.

Most recent earworm was Tora Tora Tora by Depeche Mode. Probably kicked off by OMD's Electricity and Enola Gay being on the TV ads.

The alarm from Time on Dark Side Of The Moon still makes me jump as I had a wind up alarm clock and that was what suddenly woke me up in the mornings.
I don’t think it would affect younger people in the same way.

The sound of tinnitus, which has been worse than usual for weeks now.

Same.

Had tinnitus for decades. Got worse about three-years ago after going to see my mate’s band in a local pub. Has not recovered or improved and unfortunately probably won’t from what I’ve read.

As for ear worm, lately I’ve had ‘On The Western Skyline’ by Bruce Hornsby and The Range in my head.

That man can write some catchy toons! 'A road not taken' sticks in my mind.

This . Some bloke put it on the jukebox in the bar the other day . Never heard it before but bloody thing is stuck in my head. Until the next one.

Wicked Game - Chris Isaak
It's the guitar tone that gets me... been trying to get it for about 3 months, close but not quite...

I get various tunes , some I love but others that I hate ( steeleye span and ‘’all around my #*+$¥€! hat’’ ). Recently it was ‘’only one woman’’, by the Marbles , to the extent that I ordered a copy from eBay and played it numerous times . Various 60s /70s tunes randomly enter the hollow space ‘’there’s a crack up on the ceiling, and the kitchen sink is leaking’’ courtesy of the Kinks being a favourite.

Not an artist I particularly like but sheesh she knocks it out of the park on vocals, production and the interesting chord changes (I 'do' music)

Not just me then.

Funny that @NOMONEYBUTAMERC mentioned Dead End Street by the Kinks. I had "Tobacco Road" this weekend, "I hate you cos you're dirty, but I love ya, cos you're home". Nashville Teens iirc.

Before christmas I had Joe Jackson's "Breaking Us in Two", (just the chorus, which is the only bit I remembered), which led to YouTube, which sent me down a Badfinger rabbit hole for the rest of the afternoon. I'd forgotten how much I liked some of their songs. I'd never even noticed the similarity of "Breaking us in Two" to "Day After Day". shocking.

I was bought ‘Tobacco Road ‘ for Xmas 1964. Don’t know why as it wasn’t one that I would have chosen . Maybe it appealed to my dear old mum , at that time she worked in the cigar factory in Bristol.

Daughter is a mahoooosive fan. So we bought tickets for a Glasgow concert for daughter’s birthday. I tagged along to be taxi driver.

Mrs Ant and I enjoyed it just as much as our daughter. What a show. The bass was thunderous.

Billie Eilish music echos around the house almost daily.

I am the Resurrection by The Stone Roses.

A brilliant track that I heard today on Absolute 90’s.
