Bungalows, Earworms, and Girlfriends

I'm not sure why I included the word Bungalow. The word has just been running through my head.
I've had lots of odd things running through my head. Most have been songs. I guess the modern term is earworm. We used to just say we had a song stuck in our head.
"Life's A Dance" by John Michael Montgomery was the first one. It started playing in my head after one of my students asked me if I'd had a girlfriend when I was in seventh grade.
Then it was "The Ballad of the Green Beret" after I talked to another student who wants to join the Army when he graduates high school.
It seems like I have a penchant for matching a song to just about anything.
What song was your latest earworm?

Now that is a good one. Of course, working with children, the Sesame Street Version "Letter B" has now jumped to my mind.

No thank you. I have trained myself not to get into those earworms. It can drive one crazy (lol)

@DWDavis Good for you. That earworm thing can be quite a nuisance.

For some unknown reason, the theme song from The Adventures of Robin Hood a 1950's TV series has been running through my head lately. lol

Scarborough Fair because I just had a newborn baby daughter less than two weeks ago and I wrote some words for her that are meant to be sung with the tune of Scarborough Fair. I wrote songs for my other two children and so of course I had to come up with something for my third born.
Why did I pick this melody? Before our baby was born I tried several melodies from other songs out on my wife but she did not like any of them until she heard Scarborough Fair. Once she settled on that melody I added the words.

I could not tell you my most recent. They come and go. Perhaps Old MacDonald as I am preparing farm themed art stations for a student. It sounds as if you have a sound track for your life. I am suddenly hearing the theme from "Summer of Forty Two"

This morning it's been the song "Everybody", I'm not sure who it's by, but it's a 90's dance hit. I probably heard it on the radio yesterday..

@DWDavis No, that's the cupid shuffle!
I don't usually hear this song anymore, but I play the 90's station on my satellite radio, so it must have been on yesterday.

My husband and I were working a 2000 piece puzzle last night and listening to music, when I went to bed I couldn't get Back in Black by AC/DC out of my head.

@DWDavis It is. there are a few from his newest set that are good. But Wild Child is one of my favorites from all his music ever.

@thislittlepennyearns It is among my top 5. My favorite of Kenny's is still Anything But Mine because it reminds me of a girl I met at the beach right after high school graduation. My friend and I were staying at the same beach club she and her family were staying at. We spent every moment of the week together that we could, and then she left and I never saw her again.
