Today's Earworm

Not unpleasantly, at football practice last night I had 'Go For Gold' by Girls At Our Best in my head all evening, and I occasionally broke out into a hum or a whistle as I set up the cones. Not a single one of my U15 players, though, said, "Hey coach, that sounds like some sort of classic early 80s UK indie-pop you're tuning into there. Can you tell us which band so we can download it right here and now?"

Does anyone else have recurring earworms which will fill the gap if you don't have a current one? I'm talking over years. I have a number but three spring to mind:
The riff (just the riff) from George Harrison's What is Life
An instrumental of the Stone Roses' Waterfall, especially the long ending
A horrendous mash-up of Kool & the Gang's Cherish with Macca & Stevie's Ebony and Ivory
Now I've put the third one in my head again for the day. Purgatory.

One listen to a Spinners Greatest Hits CD has led to the chorus of Games People Play burning in my brain the last couple of weeks.

What a beautiful rendition of Paul Simon’s classic this is:
I’d never heard of Sarah Jarosz until now (sadly, I’ve long stopped my subscription to the excellent world music mag Songlines, too many things to read, not enough time), what a cracking voice she’s got. She reminds me a bit of Laura Cantrell. Is Sarah Jarosz well-known at all in the US? (outside of the country music/folk circles I mean).
