Earworms

Sweet Talking Woman - ELO
Cant stop singing it today. Driving Mrs HW mad.

Pretty sure JO & WWB were both from Aylesbury. My sister and a load of 6th formers went to see them at Friars in about 1978.

I recall them coming back with those cheap 70’s-tastic badges, orange with black writing which actually said “Wouldn’t it be great to sleep with Wild Willy Barrett”

Bloody sure I kept that in a jar with a load of other 70’s badges for decades but no idea where they are now.

Mind you, whilst a rare thing, with that sort of wording it’s probably about as desirable as a Jim’ll Fix It one.

Indeed.

Remember that the first time I saw them on the OGWT, thought wtf? But it does as you say turn into an earworm.

They even made ToTP!

Due to the radio coverage in Munich today being accompanied by Yes Sir I can Boogie, I've not been able to get rid of it.

For some unknown reason; The Dance of the Knights from Prokofiev's Romeo & Juliet...

10cc - I'm Mandy, fly me.
Heard it more times in the last two weeks (in my head), than in the previous 50 years. No obvious reason.

It's a great song, 10cc a much underrated band imo. Graham Gouldman is a songwriting genius

I agree, excellent songwriters, great wordsmiths.

Lol Creme deserves some credit too...

Lol Creme deserves some credit too...

They were a great all round band with all contributing to the writing. Gouldmans body of work before, during and after 10cc is amazing though

Just heard this in Tesco. I haven't heard the track for over 50 years but knew what it was immediately!

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

What's that tune that keeps playing in my head?
I don't think I like it.
I haven't heard it in years.
I'm absolutely certain I dislike it.
It's decades since I heard it.
Who the hell is it?
I really hate it.
Oh shit!

And that is how Peters and Lee's Welcome Home has been stuck in my head for two long weeks.
