Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for March 04, 2021

Aw…nuts.

One of my recent ones is Oh Yeah by Yello (Song playing on Ferris Bueller’s Day Off).

That song must fit real tight in such a small head.

I would’ve thought the song to be this one:

And apparently, it also compels the victims to introduce E.W. to more people. Marigold didn’t have the willpower to resist picking him up.

If you have now gone to listen to Uptown Funk, you’ve just been earwormed by Dana Simpson. To make her life a little easier:

After you’ve been there, consider going here:

I would have gone with 24 Karat myself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqyT8IEBkvY

Fortunately, I don’t know that tune.

If you want to get “uptown Funk” out of your head just sing the Duck Tales theme. Problem solved.

Phoebe’s facial expression in the last panel is hilarious and priceless.

Well, that got the previous earworm out of my head:

So tragic!

That’s the problem. When I try to think of an earworm, I never find one. The one that often gets me, however is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNEfuM0c7EM

So he was cursed just a few years ago?

Could be worse, could have been the theme song to Gilligan’s Island. Oh, sit right back and you’ll hear a tale…

If it’s the kind of earworm that occupies only one brain at a time, this may help: http://www.online-literature.com/twain/3268/

“Punch, brothers, punch with care!

Punch in the presence of the passen-jare!"

Don’t anyone mention “Billy, Don’t be a Hero”!

After Phoebe mentioned the song… it sprang into my head unbidden! Curse you Curse of the Ear Worm! It can strike from the comic pages!

Just to make it even better, when I get a song stuck in my head, it’s often not the actual song, but a bizarre parody I made up. Either that, or I feel compelled to mentally recite a song, only to be repeatedly frustrated when I forget the lyrics halfway through. Some days, I think my brain hates me.

That’s a pretty recent song for an ear worm that got cursed so long ago … oh damn, now it is in MY head, “… uptown Funk You Up …”

Yesterday I happened to come across a few seconds of “Unwell” while scanning the radio dial (only because I was close to Canada and they have better radio stations). I woke up with that song running through my head. Ugh.

So glad I don’t know that one.

How about “Let Me Off Uptown” Anita O’Day and Roy Eldridge?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8yaW6BluwY

Well, if you’re going to have a song stuck in your head, that’s a good one. :-)

I LIKE that song ha ha hahahaha

Or it could be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCuMWrfXG4E

It’s not one song, but a genre: my work (a country/candy store) plays 50s and 60s, and I often have a 50s song in my head when I get home. I have to listen to music from this century to banish it.

Great It’s Stuck in me Head.

always, the video of that kid dancing to uptown funk and ashcroft meowmix unabashedly play laser tag for youtube supremecy in my brain.

There are pills on the table and a thought it my head And I walk down the halls where I used to be led My heart is filled with reasons

Done. Song out.

I don’t know about “Uptown Funk”, but I do know a song called “Uptown Girl”(by Billy Joel). :)
