What pop songs ruin your brain?

[kluurs]

I hadn't heard it in years and then they did a segment on CBS Sunday Morning on Abba - played a small excerpt of Fernando...now it is on an endless loop in my brain. Electroshock or standing in front of an oncoming train seem like the only solutions.

For Mrs. Kluurs, is the Pretenders song of I'm Going to Be (500 Miles). When baking, she's been known to ask the Echo device to put it on repeat - completely overwhelming the prefrontal cortex.

Is there a particular earworm that once you hear it, you need to find a brick wall to bounce your head against to make it stop?

No, I refuse to answer this. If I do, I will be afflicted with a repeating loop of some undesirable music.

Or was that your plan?

You know they have a new album out. I may have posted it earlier.

Seek it out. It's not bad ABBA.

Yes, every damn morning upon awakening. Not always the same one.

And thanks a lot for Fernando, damn you.

Mentioned it here a couple weeks ago that Artie Shaw’s 1939 recording of Kurt Weil’s All the Things You Are tends to loop. It’s actually a great tune.

More recently though I watched the Edgar Wright documentary The Sparks Brothers. It’s very well done and worth the watch. As a result though I have had an ear worm medley of sorts of Sparks tunes from their *Kimono My House * album from the 1970s.
