Earworms come and go, but this one has never gone, at least for the last 25 years or so. For some reason, every time I get up from my desk at work, almost without exception, I start whistling this tune. Every.Single.Day.For.Years. And that's only some of the time this tune shows up in my mind's ear. And even though I listened to it plenty back in "the day" (and what day was "the day" anyway - a Tuesday?), I've probably put the actual disc in the player maybe twice in the past couple of decades. But there it is, every day, without fail. And amazingly, I still enjoy it when I do hear it. Click on the album cover to hear the tune.
