That song stuck in your head

It’s that song that gets stuck in your head that some call an earworm.

You can read a tweet with some lyrics snippet or hear it briefly while on hold or as you pass by a local shop. Sometimes a brief listen to a radio station as you flip the dials will put a song in your head. And you can’t get rid of it.

That is all the prompting we’re giving you on this one. We hate to be the ones stuffing any tunes in your head that you can’t easily get rid of. Tell us a story about your favorite earworm or a time when you had song in your head or even when you didn’t. White noise is music sometimes, right?

What smell takes you back

It’s been said that the most powerful sense is the scent. It has been used by retailers to enhance the shopping experience, by perfume-makers to make you feel more attractive and restaurants to enhance a dining experience. Smell even stole the show in the movie Annie when she was saying goodbye to Daddy Warbucks for what she thought was the last time. She pressed her face into his coat and said, “I’m making a memory.”

What smell brings you back to a time and place?
