For Your Infotazement: Earworms

There are a lot of reasons a song might get stuck in your head. Sometimes it’s because the thing is so darn catchy. Other times, it might be a theme or idea that resonates with you. But once it’s in there, a true earworm won’t leave. In this episode, I chat with a gaggle of folks about the tunes that plague them, in addition to breaking down the lyrical quirk of a particular classic rock cut which has nagged at me for decades.
