The Mavericks - Dance The Night Away

Happy with that.

Day 3 though.

I'd be sorry if I got fed up with it before it is superceded.

But do you find it agreeable?

We've had earworm threads before, where people go mad with tunes they can't escape. I found I had one I didn’t mind and thought the phenomenon might be worth exploring.

It would also make a good name for a pub. I'm in the Tap Room of The Agreeable Earworm.

Indeed i do find it agreeable, i wouldn't have mentioned it otherwisesmile
Forgive me, it's the cold. It's me age. It's the Sussexes.

It's probably not the Sussexes.

My agreeable earworm has today become Come Dancing by the Kinks.

I seem to know nearly all the words. Which came as a surprise.

Enjoying it.

Can't shake it off, but I'm enjoying it.

Ian Dury's Sweet Gene Vincent

I may be blagging quite a lot of the words though.

The Byrds cover of Mr Tambourine Man

Three days!

Three days, man. The New York State Thruway is closed, man.

An entirely irrelevant, stoned Arlo Guthrie, intervention there.

A text from daughter #2 asking if I'd pick up granddaughter #2 from school prompted me to reply 'I'll be there.' The Four Tops have been with me ever since. Nice. Good song.

Reach Out (I'll be there) - if you're tempted to search.

Dear Prudence - The Beatles.

I read the words 'the sun's up' in another thread and I was off.

Marvellous. I'll learn later if earworms are steerable when I try to divert to other songs on the White Album.

Unsurprisingly, I've had Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel performing Make Me Smile in my head for a few days.

Brilliant song.
