No idea if this was still an active thread in the dying days of EG but I know it was one I used to be a regular contributor to back in the olden days. The Earworm Thread, basically.
Anyway, I have one right now so I'll start us off:
Under the iron shop the farewell ladies wink
Always promising
No-one to touch them
Always poker-faced before bingo
Does it snap or just happen?

The Prejudice song by Tim Minchin. Although I don't know a lot of the words.
"A couple of 'G's,
An 'E' and an 'R',
An 'I' and an 'N'."

Love Tim Minchin, White Wine in the Sun always gets me around christmas time.
Also, Damn kids....
Round and round the record spins all day
Listen again, it takes you far away
Trying to stop it is futile
So just listen now to my musical doodle
Think you control it, but it's way too hard
Every time it plays, it's an electric charge
The sound in your head is brutal
Now you're infected by the musical doodle
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
You're gonna listen again to the musical doodle

I tear my heart open,
I sew myself shut
And my weakness is that I care too much
And my scars remind me
That the past is real
I tear myself open,
Just to feel

Quite apt at the moment, but it's a proper earworm.......
The cream of this country, rich and fake
Will always rise to the top
Those beneath on hands and knees
Left to curdle and rot
That's the order that's been set
We're expected to accept
You can dream all you want
But you'll never get
Success?
Success is survival
Success?
Success is survival
Disused homes in the Promised Land
A luxury they don't have
They put their kids on the water
'Cause it's just not safe on the land
That's the order that's been set
We're expected to accept
You can dream all you want
But you'll never get
Success?
Success is survival
Success?
Success is survival
Some of us have nothing left
Some of us take it all
Some of us have nothing left
Divided, vulnerable
Success?
(We know it)
Success is survival

I'm nerdy in the extreme and whiter than sour cream
I was in AV Club, the Glee Club, and even the chess team
Only question I
Ever thought was hard
Was do I like Kirk
Or do I like Picard
Spend every weekend at the Renaissance Fair
Got my name in my underwear

I think the line “little cute aaliyah’s got it” should’ve been picked up on sooner, she was 12 when this tune dropped

Having nothing much to do anyway
No TV - no food
Black cat is scratching at my window
I'll be lying here in my grave
And i crave
To leave it

On a very old tape, whilst I did some packing, from a tune I've never been able to track down -
'What's your occupation said the sinner to the thief,
If you join my congregation there are people we can fleece
There is money for the taking,
There is providence in crime,
If you wear the holy mantle you'll have power so divine
Get it, get it while you can ...'

'We only humans, girl, we make mistakes
To make it up, I'll do whatever it take
I love you like a fat kid love cake
You know my style, I say anything to make you smile'
Beautiful

Thanks to a post elsewhere the earworm is now singing Hotto dogu Hotto dogu Hotto dogu Hotto dogu Hotto dogu Hotto dogu Hotto dogu Hotto dogu Hotto dogu Hotto dogu Hotto dogu Hotto dogu
I thought i'd gotten rid of this one a year ago. Nope, it's back.
It's been Red Heart and Shape of You for the last few days so i suppose i should be happy it's changed the track.

You can do a lot in a lifetime
If you don't burn out too fast
You can make the most of the distance
First you need endurance
First you've got to last

...Di-di-di-did you see the frightened ones
Di-di-di-did you hear the falling bombs
Di-di-di-did you ever wonder
Why we had to run for shelter
When the promise of a brave new world
Unfurled beneath the clear blue sky...
In Bold, this is why RW/PF are Gods!

I have listened to very little except Pink Floyd recently. They wrote this future decades ago.

I listen to Floyd each and every day or if not them, then something solo from one of the chaps. The Wall is art. I went on a 2 year run of listening to it daily in its entirety with the pauses...

'Would you like to see Britannia rule again, my friend?'
52% would.
Although even PF failed to predict cardboard food, missed a trick there.

Cool thread-bump. Since Tim Minchin is already mentioned above… I confess that I submitted this anonymous opinion, and I stand by it:
(Tim Minchin wrote it, in case that wasn’t obvious)

Oops, I did it again
I played with your heart
Got lost in the game
Oh, baby, baby
Oops, you think I'm in love
That I'm sent from above
I'm not that innocent
Darn it!

And I do believe it's true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
But if the silence takes you, then I hope it takes me too
So, Brown Eyes, I'll hold you near
'Cause you're the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

Triggered by simple's profile pic
If you're feeling AAAARGH
Or you're kind of hoohoohahaha
Could be you've met up with
DUCKULA
If your knees go clackety clack
And your teeth go brrrt brrrt
Maybe you've bumped into
DUCKULA
He flies through the night
Looking for a bite
but he's back home by daylight
DUCKULA
If you're sort of dook doodook dsht
Or you're a little whuh-oh
It's certain you've run into
DUCKULA
If your heart goes boompa boompa
Or your mind goes squeakety squeak
Man you've had a brush with
DUCKULA
So (??) the ROAR
Beware of the hee hee hee ha ha
And pray you'll never meet with
DUCKULA
(...Count Duckula.)
