Earworm

Ever since Tuesday I have been unable to get the Hoover jingle out of my head.

I hope it does not stay there as long as My Aunt Grete did a couple of years ago. That was really embarrassing, because not only was I liable to break out into out of tune song at inopportune moments, I also felt a compulsion to perform the appropriate actions with my hands.

And now I have learned the name for this kind of thing I have an awful feeling that Worms might get stuck in there instead.
