What earworm songs are burrowing through your head today?
 If you like I can arrange for the Brass Band to play Mambo No. 5 on your birthday for you! Sent by thought transference

"A Comet Appears" One hand on this wily comet, Take a drink just to give me some weight, Some uber-man I'd make, I'm barely a vapor They shone a chlorine light on, A host of individual sins, Let's carve my aging face off, Fetch us a knife, Start with my eyes, Down so the lines, Form a grimacing smile, Close your eyes to corral a virtue, Is this fooling anyone else? Never worked so long and hard, To cement a failure, We can blow on our thumbs and posture, But the lonely is such delicate things, The wind from a wasp could blow them, Into the sea, With stones on their feet, Lost to the light and the loving we need, Still to come, The worst part and you know it, There is a numbness, In your heart and it's growing, With burnt sage and a forest of bygones, I click my heels, Get the devils in line, A list of things I could lay the blame on, Might give me a way out, But with each turn, It's this front and center, Like a dart stuck square in your eye, Every post you can hitch your faith on, Is a pie in the sky, Chock full of lies, A tool we devise, To make sinking stones fly, And still to come, The worst part and you know it, There is a numbness, In your heart and it's growing.

In some ways this thread seems to act as an earworm exchange programme.
I come in here to deposit my current earworm - and I leave with one of yours ... I now have Back in a Hole running throgh my brain. Which is ok - because at least it dislodged the song that's been on a loop in my head for the last 2 days. The music for the film Jumping off Bridges:

What I love about this song is that is celebrates the mundane. It's rather zen in a way, it reminds me of my teacher quoting Dogen: "Those who regard the mundane as a hindrance to practice only understand that in the mundane nothing is sacred; they have not yet understood that in sacredness nothing is mundane." A police car and a screaming siren A pneumatic drill and ripped up concrete A baby wailing and stray dog howling The screech of brakes and lamp light blinking That's entertainment, that's entertainment A smash of glass and a rumble of boots An electric train and a ripped up 'phone booth Paint splattered walls and the cry of a tomcat Lights going out and a kick in the balls That's entertainment, that's entertainment Days of speed and slow time Mondays Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday Watching the news and not eating your tea A freezing cold flat and damp on the walls That's entertainment, that's entertainment Waking up at six am on a cool warm morning Opening the windows and breathing in petrol An amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard Watching the tele and thinking about your holidays That's entertainment, that's entertainment Waking up from bad dreams and smoking cigarettes Cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume A hot summer's day and sticky black tarmac Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were far away That's entertainment, that's entertainment Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight Two lovers missing the tranquillity of solitude Getting a cab and travelling on buses Reading the graffiti about slashed seat affairs That's entertainment, that's entertainment
