I just got earwormed by a bug report title. Bad, bad co-worker!

And, of course, after I poked the co-worker about it on IRC, everyone else paying attention to the channel in question started trying to earworm me. But! I had put on headphones and was listening to music as a method of innoculation (and as a way to get the first song out of my head). La!

(for someone who didn't start listening to the radio until the mid-90s, I know an awful lot of 80s music... I blame my older siblings)

Holy cow! I get that all the time! And sometimes not just a song, but a word or phrase. Thanks for the links!
