Good morning Baltimore for me anytime somebody mentions the city

Whenever someone tells me they've an earworm lodged I ask them to see if hey can recall the Pink Panther tune... that normally helps them out and I can go on my way knowing I've done a good deed

My friend has had the same earworm song going round his head since he was a kid apparently.

His family used to drive back from a regular holiday home most Sunday nights when he was young - just after antiques roadshow. He must have fallen asleep with it playing in his head hundreds of times.

Now, every time the room goes quiet he starts to hear it. De daa, de daa, de daa, de daa. Der Der Der Der, Der Der Der der....

I remember when Whizzer & Chips, the comic for the discerning pre-teen, referred to it as "Tie A Yellow Gibbon Round The Old Boy's Knee". It's stuck in my mind like that for nigh on fifty years.

Joy Division Oven Gloves by Half Man Half Biscuit always enters my head when cooking,

Weird one this, but whenever I use the urinal at work, I hum the intro riff from Pretend We’re Dead by L7.

I have no idea why this happens or what my subconscious is telling me?

I've always found War Pigs by Sabbath to be the ultimate ear worm destroyer. No pop tune can ever withstand it !

Sesh

Currently it is After All by The Frank and Walters.
Which is making a change from Yes by McAlmont and Butler.

Every time I cook a chicken and mushroom pie, I will sing the chorus to the song Harrigan" from the film Yankee Doodle Dandy, except I change the spelling to that of my favourite herb to included in a chicken pie.... Tarragon.

It pisses the Mrs off to no end

Every time I return from the supermarket, I have to clean out my head. I don't know who I am hearing while I am shopping, but they won't go away.

Worse - at the moment my brain nearly always defaults to the Strictly theme tune. 

Sesh

Would anyone like to trade earworms? I'm offering Meredith Brooks' Bitch and I'm happy to swap it for anything.

One that keeps popping into my head is the Postman Pat theme. No idea why, I don't have kids and haven't seen any PP for over 30 years, but I find myself humming it on a regular basis.
