The "Oompa Loompa" song from Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is pretty sticky too.

Nora, Nora I implore ya; open the door, Nora Blue Nora Blue.
I took a trip on a rocket ship and everyone asked about you.

My daughter and her friend listen to that song endlessly.

I asked them if they knew what the words meant.

"No" they answered

"But its a really cool song" I said sarcastically.

I can hear music, I can hear music.
The sound of the city, baby, seems to disappear.
And I can hear music; sweet, sweet, music....

Ping.

Which hymns?
I usually have one or another that dominates my week.
Other than that, I get "Feelings" and "Memories."

So does scent, that's why perfume manufacturers make so much money.

My brain is a virtual iPod. It can play thousands of songs at will. For example, I can call up virtually any pop song from the 1970s and have it play in my head from start to finish. Oddly, I don't remember many of the words so I just mumble them to myself as the melody plays in my head.

A song that has been stuck in my head tonight (for no particular reason) is "Afternoon Delight" by the Starland Vocal Band. Amazing that this song stopped being popular nearly 30 years ago but I can still hear it in my brain crystal clear. Skyrockets in flight...

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kiddin' you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

Whatever you do, don't think about the song "The Night Chicago Died" for the next 30 minutes.
