I’d have to go through my list of 60’s & 70’s TV jingles and show themes. There is a lot of competition in that part of the internal jukebox, but one of them would win hands down over any pop song ever.
Does anybody ever equate “What A Wonderful World†with “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star� Or is that just two of my earworms having a wiggle party?

My kids and I made up our own version to make that particular earworm more tolerable as we were on that ride in Disneyworld many years ago: "It's a creepy puppet world..." Now I just chuckle anytime I hear it. Maybe that's the trick: just OWN the song and it can't hurt you. Take that, stupid earworm. Re: the popcorn thing, "This is such a stupid song, such a really stupid song..."
As far as pleasant earworms go, "Penny Lane" seems to be a recurring theme in my life's soundtrack. |

An old cartoon with a baby vulture that caught a bee
flying home with it singing "Bringing home a baby bumble bee,
won't my momma be so proud of me".
I get that stupid thing stuck in my head at least once a week.
And yes, my wife says I'm a bit odd. _________________ I have stuff.

For me, it's "Groovy Kind of Love", the old song based on a classical melody by Clementi, which was then rewritten by Wine and Bayer, and then recorded by Diane and Anitta, and The Turtles, The Mindbenders, Pet Clark, Sonny and Cher, and Phil Collins, etc. The melody is catchy and memorable, and it also make a great harmonizing exercise on E9th.
You can even try playing the whole melody harmonized on strings 5&6 and using pedals A&B. |

Since I first heard the tune, it's been this one:

Everything about that piece sounds good to me, but it's the intro that I can't get out of my head. Thanks to Bob from Hibbing and especially to Donnie Herron. |
