Everyone knows what an earworm is, right? Well, just in case, let me explain. Ever heard someone whistle a tune, hum a song or even tap out the rhythm of a popular well-known song, and then realise you're humming/singing it yourself? That's an earworm: a song that when you hear it ends up being lodged in your brain for a while. Sometimes even the title of the song can do it.
I'm going to start posting a daily earworm, just for the sheer fun of it. The section opens with Huey Lewis and the News, and one of his best and most well-known hits from the eighties, “If this is it”. Try not to hum
this to yourself for the next half hour!
The Worm will be back tomorrow. There
is no escape! Bwah-haa-haa-haaaaa!
