I blame James Corden for this one.
If you haven't heard Andy Grammer's Honey I'm Good, you really are missing out on some fun pop music.

Today's Earworm
So many earworms and not enough brain cells...
Today's song that will stick in your head...
Miranda Lambert's White Liar. No it isn't a new song, but it is one that you will sing for days after hearing it only once.
Damn you, Miranda...and you will sing it with a twang.

Why Is This Song Stuck In My Head
A few months back I saw a clip on the news about earworms. (You know those obnoxious songs that get stuck in your head)
Luke Lewis had a great blog post on Earworms awhile back and it is worth reading. Check it out here.
I've always found that the more obnoxious the song is, the more likely it is to become an earworm. Sure I've had some lovely tunes stuck in my head, like The Moody Blues' "Lovely To See You," but for the most part it is songs like "Knock Three Times" by Tony Orlando or worse yet, "Oops, I Did It Again" by Britney Spears that take up residence.
Catchy melodies are my brain's downfall when it comes to earworms.
However, that's not the case this time.
How many of you have seen the first trailer for the show Copper on BBCAmerica?
The song featured in the clip is "Hard Times Come Again No More" by Iron & Wine. This is not a catchy tune. It is a beautiful song, written by Stephen Foster, but it doesn't fit my usual MO for earworms.
However, BBCAmerica did do something to get that song stuck in my head.
Repetition.
BBCAmerica played that trailer almost every commercial break during Doctor Who.
Thank you so much!
It wouldn't be so bad if the song were available to purchase, but NOOOOOOO! It isn't. It is a so far, unreleased track.
I flip the bird to Iron & Wine for this.
And to share my burden with you, here the trailer with my current ear worm

Get This Song Out Of My Head
Today's earworm brought to you by some reminiscence of the US version of Life On Mars
This song is so catchy it is just wrong!

Sometimes I Really Hate Earworms
My good friend Jennifer was talking about having Lady Gaga's Bad Romance stuck in her head, thanks to a little to much Glee. I in turn have Paparazzi stuck in mine, for reasons I have yet to figure out
This is not a song I want stuck in my head. I'm not a huge fan of Lady Gaga. Her music is ok, but she's a little too much show and not enough substance for me. She does have one thing going for her though, she's mastered the art of the earworm.
Let's face it. If you write a song that can get stuck in someones head for days, you must be doing something right, even if it is being the most obnoxious performer on the planet.
I don't know what it is with me and earworms, but I seldom get songs that I like stuck in my head. Its usually a song I can't stand and would like to find a can of brain bleach to pour between my ears in hopes of erasing the stain of the song permanently from my memory. Sadly, no one sells brain bleach. So I'm stuck with Gaga for likely the next 5 days.
I'm just thankful its nothing worse. The last time I had an earworm like this it was Bleeding Love, and that song made my ears bleed.
What was the worst earworm you've been afflicted with?
