What song is stuck in your head today?

"Reflections" by the Supremes. I just bought a nice vinyl copy of The Supremes Greatest Hits, and "Motown" SACD by Michael McDonald, where he covers a bunch of Motown hits. This was all triggered by a recent program on public TV hosted by Mary Wilson, featuring excellent archival video footage of performances by all the '60s and '70s Motown artists.

Magnification by Yes. Bet you didn't expect that one! I'm a big prog fan... it's where the best musicians in rock are (by & large) and top-notch state-of-the-art production values in a lot of cases.
 
The guy that I sit next to busted out with a verse of Leslie Gore's song Sunshine & Lollipops in the cube the other day. As soon as he sang a verse I thought, "Oh no, that song is going to stick"


Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows,
Everything that's wonderful is what I feel when we're together,
Brighter than a lucky penny,
When you're near the rain cloud disappears, dear,
And I feel so fine just to know that you are mine.
 
Hey folks - I'm also curious as to how or why the song is stuck in your head. How did it get there??

Today for me, the Who's Sqeezebox has arrived and will not leave. Why? I was going through some records last night and came across a Bruce Hornsby album that shows a pic of him on the cover playing an accordion. Immediately that old Who song jumped into my head, and has been on a "tape loop" since then.
 
When that happens to me, it is never a song. It is usually something absurd like the theme/jingle for Robert Hall clothes, Castro Convertibles, or Buster Brown shoes.
 
Three of a Perfect Pair, by my favorite iteration of King Crimson-Fripp, Levin, Belew, and Bruford...probably because its an amazing song!

Gawd!!! I get that tune struck in my head once in awhile too!!

OFF OF WIKI:
Americans who grew up in the 1950s and 60s recall the commercial jingles of the time, especially featuring the version performed by Les Paul and Mary Ford, which generally began,

When the values go up, up, up
And the prices go down, down, down.
Robert Hall this season
Will show you the reason
High quality! Economy![2]

which ran (sometimes with the last line as "Low overhead, low overhead") until the early 1960s, when the discounter focused heavily on "Back-to-School" jingles:

[Mature male voice:] School bells ring and children sing
[Raucous, annoyed-sounding children:] It's back to Robert Hall again.
Mother knows for better clothes
It's back to Robert Hall again.
You'll save more on clothes for school Shop at Robert Hall![c

For years my wife thought I had made that song up, as I sang it every time we hiked into a meadow at our local State Park. If I am gonna have a song stuck on repeat in my head this would be a good one!
