Remember that song? I’ve had it in my head all day… so thought I’d share it cos I bet you’ve now got it in your head… I’m gonna need an ocean, of calamine lotion… I think it’s called an ear worm is it? When a song’s stuck in your head. Well if so you’ve just caught my ear worm… pass it on… Have a good one everyone, Pat xx 🙂 ---

Oh thanks Pat! Because I’ve spent most of my life involved with music, I’ve had a plethora of ear worms, but poison ivy is particularly persistent-now it’s with me again. What can I say as a gesture of thanks? “I’ll be your long haired lover from Liverpool!” Steve x ---

Hi Pat, yes I remember it and will probably have it in my head now all night, strange how you hear a tune and then can’t get rid of it. Steve your reply did make me chuckle, thanks. Pam x ---

Hi Pat, Thanks for that. Steve, the seventies… Now that was a decade to remember. Slade, Mud, Showaddywaddy, Bay City Rollers. Boy did I know how to party!!! Mags xx ---

Hi Pat, thanks for this - sometimes these ear worms (never heard it called that before) are really annoying, aren’t they. A friend once told me to sing “Happy Birthday” and it would go away. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn’t - but this song is quite nice at the moment. My era is Tamla Motown though - bit earlier than 70’s. But I’m singing along now! Jackie x ---
