An earworm - and now an eyeworm too


I wonder how many of you remember the old earworm tune "Popcorn" from 1969?  I'm most familiar with this 1972 recording by Hot Butter.





While idly browsing through YouTube the other day, I found that "Popcorn" had been borrowed by the Crazy Frog people.  (You remember their signature tune, don't you?  Believe it or not, it now has over one billion views on YouTube!)  They turned it into a music video.  I giggled.

  4. No room for it here. Saw The Lion King last week, row B. 2 tunes stuck in my head fighting for dominance. What say? I can't hear you/I was distracted.

    Want to know the worst earworm possible?
