I watched Bedknobs and Broomsticks over Christmas and now I have Bobbing Along stuck in my head.

Let's share our current ones to remove their power.

The Gilmore Girls theme song. My wife had never seen it before. Now she has.

Glad to hear that this has been made right.

As a teen I hated "They're taking the hobbits to Isengard" and of course like all immature teens, my friends, kept on singing it or playing it. And then one day I used it to dislodge another earworm and ever since it is now my power earworm, able to dislodge any other song before fading away.

So tell me, where is Gandalf? For I much desire to speak with him....

If you haven't played Sorry We're Closed yet, it's a fantastic queer horror survival RPG. Features music from Okumura Music Group, checked them out and this one has been going in my head all week, https://okumuramusicgroup.bandcamp.com/track/basic-human-rights

LIGHTYEARS by Dirt Monkey

Part of why it’s so catchy for me is how it samples Suzanne Vega’s hit Tom’s Diner.

The Rockefeller Street night core remix

[–] SurfinBird@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Land of Sunshine by Faith No More. I’m trying to learn it on bass so I have listened to it a lot. Now I walk around fighting the impulse to blurt out “here’s how to order!” when the song reaches that part in my head.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

dude... Billy Gould is one of the all time greatest! King for a Day is one of my all time favorites and his magnum opus IMO.

[–] SurfinBird@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

A supremely skilled musician. Pushing me to strive for a level or 2 above my current ability.

Every year I replay Parasite Eve around christmas. And like every year, I'll hear Out of Phase in my head until february. I'm not complaining though 😊

[–] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Great balls of fire.

Because I have watched 'Top Gun' and 'Maverick' recently.

Cake - No Phone

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 3 points 2 years ago

It's a weird one. Brief background: in a D&D Spelljammer campaign I'm playing a character who's a plasmoid, a sort of intelligent ooze. Every once in a while she expresses frustration with the fact that the other members of her party insist on having bones since they get in the way of so many potential solutions to the problems we encounter in our adventures.

I recently generated some songs to try further pushing her anti-skeleton agenda, Embrace the Flow and Hey, Be Slime Tonight, and they're both firmly lodged in my head now.

Stupid bones.

It's a fact by The Vandals

Read an article about the sun exploding this morning or something and just made me think of this song

I know an earworm typically consists of a song, but what is really plaguing me is those laugh tracks people add to reels because my wife watches them 6 hours a day.

Bobbing Along

Damnit not again

[–] Metju@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago
[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago

I heard a bit of "Clair de Lune" a few minutes ago, so currently my brain is replaying "Crumbs in my Bralette," a song written and sung by Sarah Millican (to the tune of Clair de Lune) for the write a classic song task on Taskmaster S14E04

My adoptive mother passed away some months ago from old age, being sixty years older than me, and from Christmas Eve to the night after, the melody and lyrics of us singing "up on the rooftops" got stuck in my head.

[–] PetteriPano@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I have a 7mo baby who craves entertainment.

I keep making up lyrics to the theme from Ponyo.

And now I have Bobbing Along stuck in my head before I even clicked the video to relive my youth. And I thank you for it! Such an old skool classic film, maybe I need to add it into my yearly rewatch list. “Bobbing along, singing a song…”

Sawteeth - Growing Sprout

The part starting from 3:30 is my earworm. The sample which sounds like birdsong interspersed here and there coupled with the futuristic beats and atmospheric sounds makes me feel like I just travelled a thousand years into the future and I'm inside some gargantuan rainforest biodome that's in space, but it's more like a 1990's or early 2000's depiction of the future. Absolutely love it when music can evoke such vivid mental imagery!

The Scent of the Old Ocean by Those Who Ride With Giants. Specifically the little recurring guitar riff with four quick descending notes, a repeat of the lowest one, and then a slide back up

Wild City by The Pretty Reckless has been stuck in my head all week!
