Coincidentally, @Mikinton has recently mentioned the earworm phenomenon -
- and Radio 3 has just broadcast Earworms, where Tom Service and Jarvis Cocker discuss the whole thing.
For many years, an isolated use of the word 'Gold' would produce days of Spandau Ballet in the background of my waking hours. I seem, however, to have recently had a complete clean-out of my earworm locker, as 'Gold' has been replaced by a selection of about ten songs which I first heard in November. I even wake up these days with a random one of them playing in my head.
This was this morning's wake-up call.
Whatever the hell it is about....
'Paint It Black' was the day's earworm during a Sunday School trip to Dan-y-Ogof caves on July 23rd 1966. The reason I can pinpoint the day was that the 1966 World Cup was on and someone had a radio and was listening to the Portugal / North Korea game.
