which is so persistent it is breaking through everything else, voices, music, even upon waking, it isn’t even someone in my playlist, but the background to something on youtube which I cannot even recall, a narrative song which intrigued m, so explored
I have only myself to blame…
My worst one ever was Cliff Richards ‘Mistletoe and Wine’ which lasted for weeks, an awful time, I was nearly demented
anyone else?
the subliminal influence of current popular songs excepted

I love Wild West Hero (well, ELO, full stop), but what made me live it even more was a story I heard many years ago on Radio Sheffield when they had a Music Day. Someone emailed in to say that they had been on the verge of suicide when that song came on the radio. They listened to the song and something in the words made them change their mind and they decided against committing suicide. It just shows how powerful a song or a piece of writing can be. I loved the song even more after hearing that. I’d love to be able to tell Jeff Lynne that story. Sorry, I’ve gone completely off topic there! My own ear worm is usually something like Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep that I catch a snatch of on the radio
