We all know those songs that get stuck in our heads, and you can't get it out of your mind. Sometimes, it is even a jingle from a commercial, which is what has gotten me all day. Many of you could probably sing this with me: "I have a structured settlement and I need cash now! Call J.G. Wentworth, 877-cash now!" I
I could go on because I have been singing the whole thing all day. However, I won't.
I feel like they should pay me a settlement for not being able to remove it from my memory. Just kidding!
What was your latest earworm, song or commercial jingle?

Wait till you get older and hear music in your ears. Yep, it's a thing.

There are a few adverts (commercials) that have catchy tunes but at my work we all do the, slightly annoying, McDonalds whistle when we think we've done well
When I've done some particularly good poached eggs I'll whistle it which will draw abuse from my colleagues...when I give them a very good smackdown I'll whistle it again
Obviously it works both ways...the other day I smashed a tray of tea cups and the waitress did the whistle and I really was not lovin' it

I know that JG Wentworth commercial. I don't have anything stuck in my ear at the moment, but I have had them in the past.

The ones that get me are movie-themes. STAR WARS' "Imperial March," SUPERMAN's "Love Theme" (I think it's called 'Can You Read My Mind?' or maybe that's just the words Lois is thinking while Superman's flying her around and then set to the music in her mind) ()
Also there's the TERMINATOR theme(s), the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy theme, JAWS ... themes you hear and (especially if you're a fan of the movie) immediately think of the movie.

Usually the last song I hear in the morning before I turn off the radio and come downstairs. Today was Sunrise, Sunburn, Sunset (repeat) by Luke Bryan

I have the Bounty Quicker Picker Upper paper towel jingle of years ago in my head now. The writer of that jingle is a friend and neighbor of ours in Florida. My husband just came home with a huge amount of Bounty paper towels from Costco, and we both burst into song when he brought it in the house.

I hate that jingle. Mine has been Lost are saved. Your Great Name by Natalie Grant. Here try my earworm for a while.
Definitely one of my favorites, along with "Human" and "Power of the Cross". It's extremely powerful and her vocals are amazing! An awesome worship anthem, b...

See, I hear the t.v. all day while Tony watches, so I will be walking around singing one song and switch to another and so on. Then when I sit to watch I think, no wonder I am singing those songs.

A kid I babysat has been playing a Christmas song, 'Gloria Excelsis Deo'... (Too early for Christmas, but it is her piano lesson!)

Oh no. That irksome of a commercial's jingle DID get stuck in my ear once. I wanted to stick skewers in my ears to make it go away. Either way, I do not have a cash settlement and do not want cash now. Well, I want cash now...but...but...
