Peter,when that happens,start singing It's A Small World...... =).......it'll get rid of the other song,but I'm not sure how to get rid of that one!

Another Nick Lowe track with Norman Watt Roy on bass

My earworm right now: BS&T's House in the Country
 

I work on lots of old movies, and often musicals. The Wizard of Oz can be a real difficult thing to shake. Recently I have gotten stuck on Annie, Dumb Dog just wouldn't go away. Currently, I am helplessly humming the theme to Lawrence Of Arabia ALL THE TIME! Anything by Ennio Morricone is also really hard to excise.

I tend to see life in musical terms & songs will pop into my head that pertain to whatever situation I'm in. For example, when I ride my Harley & hit 90 mph, the line from Hendrix's Crosstown Traffic 90 miles an hour is the speed I drive! always pops in my head!

@ jcdlc72...Whoa!  Haven't heard THAT tune for ages.  Will put that CD on my weekend rotation.  Thanks.
Btw, when those horns hit on the intro....game on!
 
As far as Ear Worm---it's what ever song is referred to or heard while I'm in passive mode.
For instance, I over heard one coworker mentioned something her grand daughter said, with a punch line of Who let the dogs out?
Yeh...thanks alot, lady!  Took about 2 hours to get THAT piece of crap out of my head.

There are lots of these:
 
 same as it ever was
 
and of course - Psycho Killer
 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=galXYbepW_s&feature=related   WOW _ Adrian and his JC120 feedback - the good old days before guitar synthesizers.
 
Probably the worst ear worm (as Peter stated) is a song you hate - like Joan Jett's I love rock and roll

I play in a band called Chain Gang, and guess what. We play the song Back on the Chain Gang along with other Pretender's songs. Which is kind of ironic because my ex fiance was a big Chrissy Hynde fan.
And you should check out Les Claypool's version ofThe Awakening from Les Claypool and the Holy Mackerel's High Ball with the Devil CD. Great Bass line. I've seen him do it live several times.

The counting song (12) from Sesame Street:

 
I'm just a bill (Schoolhouse Rock):

 
I am deeply, profoundly sorry for posting both of these, because I know just reading them will have it stuck in your heads for days.
