Baguette Dilemma for the Booker Prize Guy from HMHB is buzzing around my head - from the unfancied Urge for Offal album it seems quite appropriate for 12th night.
NWR Ear worms...what's playing today?

Christ on a bike, today is Whitney 'The greatest love of all'...I blame some soppy Korean Netflix drama last night. Better play something LOUD this morning to shift it.

I tend to get a tune in my head but find myself subconsciously making up alternative lyrics.
Gets a bit awkward when you are ambling into Sainsburys quietly singing your own version of an AC/DC song about the cat.

One consequence of finding Aerosmith lodged in the old frontal lobe was I'm pretty sure I recently sang "Dream till your balls turn blue" out loud on Muswell Hill Broadway.

Sadly, Hakuna Matata from the Lion King after my son was watching it this morning!

Neanderthal Man by Hotlegs.
I had to google who did this after it got stuck in my head.

If you haven’t had the pleasure yet, Lion King 3 (confusingly also known as 1 and a half) is excellent

For some entirely unfathomable reason, 'Isn't she lovely' by Stevie Wonder, from I know not where.

Rather alarmingly this morning 'Love And Affection', a Gino Vanelli song from the late 70's which features a great guitar solo from Carlos Rios which is probably why I listened to it.

I've had that one. It only occurred to me after reading your post. "Supermatch game, supermatch game." The amount of crap that we watched us as kids when there were only 3 or 4 channels, especially in a family contexts. Even if you're from a more enlightened family you would always find yourself at someone's house where the TV was the focus of their life.
And then there are the advert jingles*. My life is, thankfully, almost tv-style advert-free.
*"will it be salad or frozen peas blah, blah,....we hope it's chip!"

I'd be happy with that. I'd gladly swap it for one of mine.

Nearly three weeks after Christmas I awoke to the truly fucking godawful “Simply having A Wonderful Christmas Time”. Not just the chorus, but various other bits have been on an endless cycle of rinse and repeat all day. I like neither McCartney nor Christmas at the best of times.

Thank god it’s gone, to be replaced rather serendipitously by Creedence’s “Who’ll Stop the Rain?” If it keeps up like this for much longer it’ll soon be Rolling On A River.....

CCR? Another one I'd be happy with. Swap you for 'supermatch game...'
Serious point: I find the ear worm thing affects me mostly in the evening when I'm tired.
Actually, I'd hardly given this topic a thought until this thread. The wonders of W-pages.

Truly appalling. I am however extremely grateful for your post as recently, I was completely stumped to work out what youthful memory was being pricked by the 'luxury length' swab which comes in the postal Covid test kit, and I now realise it was Terry Wogan's microphone wand.

It was just one of those things that has been happening subconsciously and this thread raised it to the level of consciousness. A bit like remembering a dream.
I worry that all participants of this thread get a knock on the door, get forcibly put into straight jackets and locked into a padded room

Having recently read Stephen Mangan's article in the Grauniad about watching cartoons as a kid, I'm afraid the theme tune to "Roobarb and Custard" has been frantically zinging around my head now.
