OK, so I am embarased by the song that I had stuck in my head that kept waking me up at 3AM for a week. The Queen of the Night aria form Mozart's Magic Fluet. I'm not even an opera fan.

Opera's definitely cooler than crappy pop songs and jingles. Plus these cuties love your earworm, kmcolo. It's impossible not to sing along with them!

My most recent earworm is the Jeopardy theme song.

I lived in Germany for a couple of years and always wondered when the expression Ohrwurm would make the jump to English. I guess it has now.

Hallo Funana, ich war zwei Jahre in Goettingen, in Niedersachsen, habe dort ein Teil meiner Promotion gemacht. Ein ganz nettes Oertchen. Und woher kommst Du? (wenn ich das Du anbieten darf)

enbar: Du sprichst ja wahnsinnig gut Deutsch! Wow! Kompliment.

But I will continue in english, because most of the people here would at at least like to know what we're talking, right?

I know Göttingen from my early Punk days, when I lived near Göttingen, in Höxter, which is even smaller than Göttingen. I like the landscape of this part of Germany, but the people... let's say here in Rheinland they are much more friendly and open minded than in Niedersachsen. I hope you had a good time then!

Höxter! Boh eh. Das iss' wohl echt der Hammer...

I went to a few anti-NPD marches while i was in GÖ. There was an interesting antifa-scene there, I remember. Generally the people were pretty taciturn though ...

Yeah. Das ist am Arsch der Welt Yeah, that's in the middle of nowhere!

Right. Göttingen has a huge Antifa-Scene and I hung around with these guys back then. ASL - Anti Skinhead Liga. But some of them are so leftwinged that they are ultra-right . And "taciturn" is the right word for the east-westfalians. It's not easy to make friends there, but if you once have them as friends they stay with you for ever. I still have a lot of very good friends from ...

True funara, but when in doubt you can always say something like:
Wir klingen wie sehr betrunkene Deutsche

Ich kann auch ein kleines bisschen von Deutsch sprechen, aber ich verstehe es besser als ich spreche es. Ich spreche mehrere skandinavische Sprachen besser und Englisch natürlich.

Sind nicht wir, lustig habend?

@Debbyski
Prost!!

Er der nogen derude i clipland der kan snakke dansk eller svensk eller norsk? Skal vi sludre lidt? Det kunne være sjovt...

To stay on topic, I can't stand to hear "White and Dirty" because it stays with me for hours! That one line over and over and over again!!

The same goes for "You're Beautiful" with James Blunt.
Earworms are a real bummer. Never knew they were called that though. Cool word.

TNCBT,
to your first comment, and please excuse this feeble attempt at the second:
Nok så sjov i sandhed , Jeg er ser ud på levering at

I hope that came out right.

@debbyski

*LMAO* X 1,000,000 !!!

i got the first bit "Nok så sjov i sandhed" but the second part of that sentence?!? Ha ha ha ha ha... you totally crack me up! The best I can get out of that bit is: "I look out on the delivery, that." and I don't think that is what you were trying to say...*LMAO still*... good try though, thanks for playing!!

But yeah, we sure are having fun...at least I am!!

TNCBT,
I knew I wasn't getting that right for sure; but I tried. I was saying on the second part " I look forward to that."

Still *LMAO*

I need to read something serious. My sides are hurting...

BTW, I look forward to that is: "Det ser jeg frem til" A little different, eh? So you can stop looking out on that delivery now Debbyski...

Damn...I'm still LMAO.

Yeah,
"I look out on the delivery" is a far cry from "I look forward to that", I'm being funny without even trying; it comes easily to hillbillies from WV
