Whats your earworm?

Ivor Cutler:

Good morning
How are you ?
Shut up!

Have so far resisted the urge to sing it out loud during ward rounds, but I'm getting close to it.

XTC - My Bird Performs (from Nonsuch)

all ****ing morning

The Passage - Xoyo. A song I heard maybe twice when it first came out over 20 years ago and have subsequently listened to once i reckon since buying the LP off TonyL sometime in the last year. So what's that all about? Can't remember what I had for my tea 2 days ago but this old song has dragged itself to the forefront of my brain - for some weird reason!

Cheers

I know you like me, but that takes it a bit far ...

Deutchland, Deutchland uber alles ad. inf.

German, German overalls, as Flanders and Swann translated it.

Or, Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser, as the original words have it.

One of the greatest tunes ever written (Haydn). But why not sing along with the present words?

Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
für das deutsche Vaterland!
Danach lasst uns alle streben
brüderlich mit Herz und Hand!
Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
sind des Glückes Unterpfand;
blüh' im Glanze dieses Glückes,
blühe, deutsches Vaterland.
blüh' im Glanze dieses Glückes,
blühe, deutsches Vaterland.

I'll be naughty and add my version:

Kabeln, Kabeln, joining alles
Alles in our hi-fi chain
Only passing sound? A falla-
Cy that credence must not gain
Give the sound a broad Coherence
Make your music Krystal clear
You should brook no interference
To the joy they give your ear.

Nasty sceptics ever critical
Seek to spoil our Audio-quest
Pretend to be scientifical
But in fact our views detest
They say, “Sil(ly) tech!”, come, mouths frothing,
Loudly in the van, then Hul-
Abaloo cause over nothing
They are talking loads of bull

Glorious things to us are cables
Not a thing to be ignord-
“Ostentatious!” folk us label
But the best we will afford
Silver, carbon, gold and copper
PTFE-coated, so
Classic, rock, jazz, rap, hip-hopper
Joy to all who’re in the know!
