What's your earworm?

[Simon Rogers]

Hi all.
Just wandering if any you get earworms?
I seem to get a lot of them.
At times the last couple of days the song which has been going through my head is:
Popcorn by Hot Butter
Hot Butter was an alias for Stan Free who was a keyboard virtuoso.
I have had the Popcorn earworm a number of times before. Even during a couple of chess games.
I remember one on occasion I beat Brett Lund with black, with Popcorn going through my head.
So my advice, before your game against Brett Lund in the 4NCL is to play Popcorn by Hot Butter.

Ah yes. I remember that clip.
From Star Trek 2 Wrath of Khan
My favourite Star Trek Film was Star Trek First Contact.

I've started to watch a series on Channel 5 every Friday night titled Britain's Favourite 90s songs.
First one last Friday was the year 1990 and the top 30 songs of the year.
One of them I remember and stuck in my head was Londonbeat --- I've been thinking about you.

I recall seeking psychiatric advice after hearing

All the time, dear boy, all the time. Sometimes it's pieces I don't even know the names or composers of . Fortunately they always seem to change after about 24-48 hours. In extreme cases I'll start singing Sally MacLennane or something equally catchy. You don't want to be near when that happens.

Tonight's episode was the year 1991.
The earworm was Nomad --- (I wanna give you) Devotion
I certainly enjoyed Insanity by Oceanic and Get Ready for this by 2 Unlimited.

Last night's episode of Britain's Favourite 90s Songs featured the year 1992.
Ebenezer Goode by the Shamen was great.
The earworm from last night was On a Ragga Tip by SL2.

[Kevin Thurlow]

"Ebenezer Goode by the Shamen was great."

I had to explain to a colleague in the forensic drugs analysis team that it was about drugs.

"Ezer Goode, Ezer Goode, Ebenezer Goode"

or

"'E's are good, 'E's are good...."

E being short for "ecstasy", if any high-court judges have wandered in.

I preferred Move Any Mountain and Phorever People by the Shamen.

Last night's episode of Britain's Favourite 90s Songs featured the year 1993.
Two earworms were What is love? by Haddaway and No Limit by 2Unlimited.
I remember Informer by Snow.
I couldn't believe Mr Blobby was the Christmas No1.

[Kevin Thurlow]

"I couldn't believe Mr Blobby was the Christmas No1."

Probably bought as joke Christmas presents? Same as "50 Shades of Grey"?

Tonight's episode of Britain's Favourite 90s Songs featured the year 1994.
Two earworms were :
I like to move it by Reel 2 Real feat. the Mad Stuntman
a great song. 18m views.
Doop by Doop
which I thought was terrible but sticks in your head.
