what ditties are permanently and weirdly stuck in your head? for me it's this "My name's Philip Marlowe, the chivalrous shamus I'm not very rich and I'm not very famous for twenty five dollars a day plus expenses I move in a world of thieves, pimps, and fences"

Oranges and lemons, Say the bells of St. Clement's. [redacted] Here comes a candle to light you to bed, And here comes a chopper to chop off your head.

Brush up your Shakespeare Start quoting him now Brush up on Shakespeare And the women you will "wow"

I have a confession to make. I can turn off earworms at will. Oh, I have memorized ditties I can call up, and songs. And sometimes if something is really important in the back of my thoughts a song will tap on my shoulder until I figure out why. But ... I can just turn them off. 1/2

(I'm pretty certain this is from a collection of one of the old New Statesmen literary poetry competitions)

One dark night when we were all in bed, Old Lady Leary lit a lantern in her shed, And when the cow kicked it over, She winked her eye and said, "There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!"

"Dante Gabriel Rossetti Buried all of his libretti Thought the matter over, then Went and dug them up again"

The theme song to Cheers. “Where everybody knows your name!”

MacBeth’s Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow soliloquy. We got extra credit if we memorized it and recited it in front of class.

It's not always that loudest thing in my head, but it's always there: "My bologna has a first name; it's O-S-C-A-R My bologna has a second name is's M-E-Y-E-R...." Worst personal soundtrack EVER.

"...I was you and you we were me, you opened up your eyes and I could see... that you were falling from the world as aimless as a shooting star, in orbit around me thinking I was somebody else, and terrified to look at me and see yourself..." - Endless Dream by Conjure One (favorite)
