I'm not a Connie Francis fan, since I find her so nasal. But when I saw your reference to her on Changing the Station, I looked her up for old times sake. (& because I knew @ how old I was, thus how old you were, when the song hit the airwaves)

Anyway, now I have "You Are My Special Angel" stuck in my head. It was part of a homage mix to her. :-X Here ~~ let me share!

I don't even know what triggers my earworms, as almost always they're not songs I've heard recently. I think there's an old Wurlitzer or Seeburg stuck in my head and occasionally something rolls off one of the shelves up in there, bounces across the floor, hits the jukebox and makes a record come down.

Crap. I wrote that and now have this stuck in my head:

I once spent a week singing "Winter Wonderland" in July.

My worst ear worm was this:

Ugh, that's exactly the sort of thing I meant when I said I get attacked by advertising jingles!

Oh, gawd, Joanne ~ that's the worst!

At least you got something pretty, Rikita.

Just now I was sitting here, minding my own business and doing a jigsaw puzzle, when suddenly, there in my brain was the full version -- instruments, back-up, falsetto, etc. of:

I have one of the worst ever prefab europop summer hits playing in the depths of my brain. Luckily I do not have access to YouTube at the office, so you will temporarily be spared "Vamos a la Playa" by some Dutch bimbo who calls herself Loona (but whose real name is Marie-Jose van der Kolk, so you can understand why she changed her name).

I have been spending whole days humming "Me and Mrs. Jones" lately. For no good reason.
Other than that the radio played it twice in 2 days.

I wouldn't mind Me & Mrs. Jones playing in my head, compared to so many other possibilities.

I read that piece when you first posted it Kerouac and forget to reply. Anyway,I did not agree with what it said,or,rather,it did not apply to my experience with earworms.
Interesting though.

I unfortunately let myself listen to an interview with Doris Day on NPR on the occassion of her 88th birthday.
They played Que Sera Sera,(one of her big hits,which she stated that she hated) now it's stuck >:(. I refuse to inflict it on anyone else.

Saturday evening I was in the kitchen, cooking and minding my own business. Unbidden to my empty little head came "The Rivers of Babylon" & wouldn't go away.

Sunday morning I got on a bus and as soon as I sat down "The Rivers of Babylon" started playing. I sang along.

Here ~~ here's 7 1/2 minutes of it for you all. :D

I WANT this as an earworm, so I'm listening now.

Though I like the original version better, so may have to go look for it to displace this earworm

Here's a Jimmy Cliff live version, though it takes about 2:30 to get to the familiar parts...

People have killed themselves for less! Geeez, that's bad.

I actually heard this the other day, so at least I know why it's stuck in my head. Either that or Dick Clark's death hit me harder than I'd thought.

Would anyone happen to know exactly how many times a person can hear If I Were a Carpenter inside her head before she ceases to mentally function?
