Neil Young's "After the Gold Rush"

I have some classical tune I'm sure I should know the name of that was on someone's caller tune.

"The Ballad of John and Yoko"
But just the intro part.

This is the song I have in my head.

There are a lot of really stupid cartoons out today and the quality overall has gone down the toilet compared to the cartoons we grew up with and before that. Phineas & Ferb are an exception. The premise of the show is relatable (two kids figuring out what to do on a day of summer vacation and an older sibling trying to ruin it). The plot is whimsical but isn't random and makes sense (in other words it doesn't seem like the writers were high on something while creating the show). That's very difficult to do when the writers have put in a side story to each episode revolving around the secret agent activities of their pet platypus. I know without seeing a full episode it sounds silly but you'll figure it out quickly. Whether you like it or not you have to give the writers credit for coming up with a song for each episode and the musical styles and genres used are very diverse.

Every time I read the title of this thread the Inchworm commercial song goes through my head. "inchworm, inchworm I love you"

See, there's an advantage to me completely disinterested in music. Near total earworm immunity.

Bear always tells me to think of "Happy Birthday to You" when I get stuck on a song...which is ironic since it has plagued me once a year for 49 years. Yah just can't win, can yah?

I am not sure if it will play down under, but the classic way to end an ear worm here in the states is "by Mennen."

It was the end of the commercial and the way it was sung in the commercial gives a definite finality to whatever is running through your head.

Dear KB,

"Bi Men" have always been a distraction - particularly down under.
