Earworm Du Jour

Earworms are those songs that get stuck in your head, and you can't get rid of them no matter how hard you try. I've heard that you can get it unstuck if you sing "Michelle" by The Beatles, and it works sometimes. These are the earworms that were stuck in my head today:

Sometimes an earworm starts when you hear a song on the radio. This song played on FM 97 right before I went into work at noon, then proceeded to play in my head for the next four hours:

Other times the song occupies your mind without warning, without invitation. Those are the worst, especially when it's just a couple lines that get stuck. With this song, it was the first line of the second verse: "Here you come again, looking better than a body has a right to" And yes, it was the Carly Smithson version that was stuck, not the original. Isn't it strange how the brain works?
