Gee, 'thanks' Ladysadie for getting 'Bad Romance' stuck in my mental playlist now! LOL. Around and around and around--I'm a musician and suffer from earworms all the time--it could be worse though--a couple days ago it was the Troggs' 'Wild Thing!'

Eeeeww, I didn't even know I have earworms, lol. I often get a song stuck in my head and it is enough to drive me mad. Worse than that though is ringing ears, I have tinnitus so bad, and I thought getting sober would help that, but it didn't.

Thanks everyone, nice to know I'm not alone. Even the mere mention of some of your alls tunes go right into my brain -- funny (or maybe not) how that is.
