A while back we had a thread about finding a term for those songs that get stuck in your head and you can't seem to get out. We did finally come up wiht a bonafide word for this condition, courtesy tsuwm I think. But I can't find the thread (Dr. Bill, can you ferret it out for us?).
Here is a new article about the top songs responsible for this condition. The piece also cites a German term for this: earworm. I like earworm, and I'm going to keep using it for this..."Don't mention that song, you'll give me earworm!"Like Pfranz did to me recently when he mentioned, "Condo, condo, condo, connnndooooo!" that's a parody of "Quando, quando, quando, quannnndoooo," folks
