The world's worst earworm?

[pjthompson]

Actually, this involves both dejá vu and an earworm, so I thought it worth noting. I was driving home from Home Depot Saturday (after picking up more edging materials for the mosaic) (ahem) when Maxwell's Silver Hammer came on the radio. I was driving up a slight hill on Manchester Boulevard as it crosses La Tijera when it hit the chorus, "Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer came down upon her head," and, you know, I joined in for my own rousing rendition. And I had this moment of bright, shiny clarity, realizing that several months ago driving at this exact same place on Manchester I'd done the same exact thing at the same point in the song.

It may be fun to sing along with that chorus, but Maxwell's Silver Hammer? A really stupid song. And I had it stuck in my head for two days after that. Really bad song to be stuck in one's brain.

What the universe was trying to tell me by this bit of synchronicity, I have no idea. Gosh, do you suppose it was all just random but weird coincidence?

I actually do enjoy that song a lot -- it's so insanely horrible visual-wise, and yet such a chirpy tune.

And it's still lodged in my brain!

And yeah, what you said about the chirpy/squicky.
