Phasebook #3 - Earworm

Today I bring you a special Phasebook (where two adjacent posts on my Facebook wall, from friends who don't know each other, are related in an eerily coincidental way.)

The theme of today's Phasebook is 'Earworm'


Not only is this a Phasebook, it is also an example of the 'Baader-Meinhof phenomenon'. To whit; one of my colleagues was today saying that a certain piece of music was stuck in his head, and I explained that the Germans call that an Ohrwurm, from where we get the English derivation 'earworm'. Within an hour these two posts appeared on my Facebook wall. Spooky!
