Oh, I am totally afflicted with earworms, of both the acute and chronic variety. Dr. J and I always talk about having "jukebox brain" - which often sets off acute earworms. So, for example, someone tells me good morning - immediately "Good Morning" from Singing in the Rain is stuck in my head for the rest of the day. This is a common acute earworm for me - kind of a chronic/acute hybrid, really.
Current acute earworms include: the entire Christmas Caravan album by the Squirrel Nut Zippers (especially "Carolina Christmas," for rather obvious reasons); "Physical (You're So)" by Adam Ant; "Paper Bag" by Fiona Apple; "Alfred Hitchcock" by the Nields (I watched Rear Window for the first time the other day); the Into the Woods soundtrack (you're responsible for this one *grin*); "All I Care About" from the Chicago soundtrack. As you may note, I have an awful lot of music going on in the back of my head - pretty much constantly.
I have a fair number of chronic earworms as well. "Lola" - both the original Kinks version and the Raincoats' version; "Psycho Killer" by the Talking Heads; a fair amount of Ani DiFranco ("Shameless", "Both Hands", "Out of Habit", "Dilate" when I'm being mopey); "Do You Want to Know a Secret", "I'm so tired", "Your Mother Should Know" and "Rocky Raccoon" by the Beatles; "Blister in the Sun" by the Violent Femmes; "Step into my Office, Baby", "Dear Catastrophe Waitress" and "Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying" by Belle and Sebastian; "Hooked on a Feeling" (the ooga-chaka, Blue Swede version); so many more. I think the worst one is "The Lonely Goatherd", though - if I hear even the tiniest bit of it, it is stuck in my head for ages. There's a lot of oldies rattling around in there as well.
I have quite the internal cacophony at this point. *grin* So what are your earworms, both chronic and acute?
