[Dixielandjazz] Earworms

[Dan Augustine]

Folks--
    A friend sent me a link to an article in the Dallas Morning News about 'earworms' (songs you can't get out of your head) at
http://www.dallasnews.com/latestnews/stories/102003dnnatsongs.200d180a.html
He also said that Alfred Bester's novel _The Demolished Man_ (which i think i read decades ago, but can't remember anything about) is a sci-fi take on the same theme.
    Yep, i got 'em ('earworms', although surely there is or could be a more elegant term).  I play dixieland in my car and at home, and sometimes play tuba along with a song, and after i quit more improvisations (most of which i'm not sure i could actually play) continue to haunt me, sometimes for an hour or so.
    Do any of you get 'earworms'?

    Dan
