I was just humming that Oscar Meyer jingle the other day — you know, “Oh, I wish I were an Oscar Meyer wiener…” and what do you know? I got my wish! Now everyone will be in love with me!

You just knocked the West Side Story earworm right out of my head. I won’t thank you for that. 😛
That dachshund has the most remarkable eyes!
So striking!
And now I’ve got the earworm of “Can’t Live (if Livin’ is Without You)” from that mustard commercial with all the wiener dogs 😀
Doesn’t he, though! He doesn’t need to be an Oscar Meyer weiner for me to fall in love with him.
Allein, years ago when I was first married my husband was singing “Inky Dinky Spider” one morning as he dressed for work (don’t ask) audit was in my ear for days, I think, after that. But funnily enough , once I got it out of my head, it became our ear worm breakthrough – i.e., if we had something we couldn’t get rid of we just sang Inky Dinky Spider and they cancelled each other out. Try it!?

“It’s a Small World” has also been known to have that effect. Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease!
Love this beautiful goggie and its hilarious story, Mike!
We went to Disneyland when I was little and I had a “Small World” record (you know, old fashioned vinyl!) that I played over and over. And over. And over. It finally disappeared; my parents got so sick of it that they threw it away!
Oh, I had the little plastic portable player and records too. I think I had Rudyard Kipling’s Just-So stories (Mowgli; How the Elephant Got his Trunk, etc.)
I also drove my parents bananas on a cross-country road trip with a cassette tape of “Jacques Brel is Alive and Well” over and over – I was a peculiar kid 😀
