Earworm after earworm after earworm, mostly inexplicable.

Last night: "Who Put The Bop In The Bop-She-Bop-She-Bop" (or whatever the title of that song is), followed by what I think is one of the various reels to bear the title "Tam Lin", then as I was falling asleep, the early 19th C. dance tune "The Waterloo".

Today: there were three or four earlier that I noted at the time, but at the moment they've all been chased out by "Vanhaa Valssia". That one is kinda ... "loud in the brain", if that makes any sense. I'm pretty sure one of this afternoon's melodies was by Jeff Beck, but I can't remember what it was.

Briefly overnight I had "Rolling Down To Old Maui" in my head, but I understand why that one was there ... and it didn't stick around anywhere near as long as it usually does.

Here, y'all can have 'em for awhile. There are enough to go around. Enjoy.

Whoops! Mentioning Beck, for some reason I don't quite get, somehow triggered a Focus tune ("Hocus Pocus", of course) to replace "Vanhaa Valssia". I wonder how long this one will hang around. (Same general part of the world more or less, eh?)

There's nearly always music in my head if there's none actually in my ears; I only grant tunes 'earworm' status when they get distracting, or are so "loud" that any verbal thought comes out in that melody, or when the same tune sticks around for a long time.

Edit: Okay, "Hocus Pocus" didn't last long enough to count. Now I'm hearing The Eurythmics...

Earlier today, I had "Dulak is a Perfect Place" (from the movie "Shrek") running through my head. Of all things.

Usually I get whatever I'm listening to at work. Today it's Stan Freberg's "It's A Round, Round World".

So take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks

ISTANBUL!
