Earworms - (noun) a song or tune that gets stuck in one's mind and repeats as if on a tape; also written ear-worm, ear worm; also called cognitive itch, sticky tune.

Grapevine Fires

It's been getting a lot of airplay, but that's okay because I like it. We need more storytelling songs in the top 40.

2. Is there a particular song or genre that is more sticky than another for you?

Nope

6. Take this quiz - What Kind of Music Are You?

You Are Country Music

But beneath your old fashioned attitude, you are expressive and artistic in your own way.

Very few people can express pain and pleasure as eloquently as you can.

That's waaaaay off, but not unexpected. It assumes that people who don't live in cities are hicks, and love country music because I chose 'ranch' (the only option that didn't involve living close to other people - unless by 'beach', they meant in the "Castaway" sense)

I'm more Punk Rock"; in the misanthropic, nihilistic sense. And I love 'Mexican Radio' :003:
