OT: Latest Earworms?

Submitted by Swayze Howell Sheen on July 30th, 2023 at 2:28 PM

Trying to get in some last OT threads before our work begins - that is, football season.

Today's thought: what song is stuck in your head these days?

For me, it's been the song Stuck by Thirty Seconds to Mars (a band I'd never heard of, but apparently formed by actor Jared Leto and some others years back). I can almost see some stadium adopting the main chant of the song as something to yell out when your team is on defense.

So, what fun song is bouncing around your mind?

My daughter and her fiance have been testing out songs for their respective dances (bride with dad and groom with mom), so I've got Jim Croce's Time In A Bottle, The Killers' Be Still, and Alan Jackson's Little Bitty.  Very odd mixture.

This is super damn random, but I always rock cassettes in my truck when roaming with my kids, and recently popped in the St. Elmo's Fire soundtrack which I must've copped at some yard sale.

"Man in Motion" is a well-known banger, but there are a few nice deep cuts on there that me and my son been getting into. Also, how crazy is it that the "Love Theme from St Elmo's Fire" -- an instrumental composed by David Foster -- reached high on the charts back when the movie came out in the mid-80s? The only other instrumental songs I can remember getting huge radio play in the 80s (or ever) are Axel F from Beverly Hills Cop and maybe "Songbird" by Kenny G.

Anyway, I wasn't especially big on the St Elmo's Fire movie growing up, but the soundtrack hits a sweet spot, if you were 10 like me in 1985.
