Golden Monks, Hong Kong, Uncle Ho, Kristallwelten, Chris, R2 & Me, Snow Monkey, Bagan, Lantau Buddha, Warp Core Breach, Shwe Dagon, Tiger, Golden Florin, Balloons, See You Jimmy, Snake Buddha, South Park, Janice, Snowths, Wembley, Irn Bru, Halong Bay, Owls, Kaiou, Ulala, Green Snake, Gobo, Snarf, Hanoi Scooters, Chris on a Boat, Elin Woo, Kowloon
In terms of frequency of infection, what are your top three earworms? (Or if you have too many to figure it out that accurately, what are three of your top earworms?)

Mine are:

  1. Galvanize - The Chemical Brothers
  2. Hey Ya! - Outkast
  3. Until I Get You - Hanoi Rocks

The first two I understand, though I'm not quite sure why the last one's there. It doesn't even have anything to do with Vietnam. But it's still there.

I constantly have things running through my head. Some frequent offenders:

-Would you like to swing on a star
-Brahms piano trio #1, 1st mvt
-Chewing gum song ("My mom gave me a nickel to buy a pickle...")

We have a web tool at work that is named "Gypsy," so I get that stuck in my head a lot. And man, do I hate Stevie Nicks. Other than that, it's totally variable. Lately, my other two top three are "Nemesis" by Shriekback (because I'm doing my bellydance class performance to it) and "Supermassive Black Hole" by Muse (couldn't tell you why).

FNX has this game where they take songs and sing them opera-style, and you have to guess what they are. Those two lines are the ones they picked from that song :)

An earworm is a song that gets stuck in your head, and plays in your mind over and over again.
