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…

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.

Civilization - Bongo Bongo Bongo.

I’m replaying Fallout 4.

House of Eternal Hunt

Sticky by Tyler the Creator

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.

My Little Buttercup from 3 Amigos

I have a 7mo baby who craves entertainment.

I keep making up lyrics to the theme from Ponyo.

🎵It’s a holly jolly Christmas 🎶

Great balls of fire.

Because I have watched ‘Top Gun’ and ‘Maverick’ recently.

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…”

Christmas in Smurfland

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!
