RULES (updated 01/22/25)

Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Earworm - the experience of a song stuck in the brain. I find myself getting earworms so often haha. My latest one is this song, I Want To Be In Fabric by Todd Edwards, particularly the part starting at 2:28. Gives me massive Freezepop vibes omg!

What are some songs that have been stuck in your head lately that you'd like to share? 😃

My job won't stop playing this stupid pop song that has the exact same melody as Dragostea Din Tei. I think every day for the past several weeks I've been singing some nonsense combination of the two under my breath.

Let's make tonight the weekend, dar nu ma nu ma iei, I don't wanna waiiiiit

The HamsterDance song has been living rent-free in my head on-and-off for most of my life. I blame how much time I spent in arenas as a kid playing hockey.

More recently, the café I work at puts on a "French café" playlist which has about 7 different versions of "La Vie En Rose" so that's been in my head for the past year as well.

ABBA's "Fernando" pops up in my head randomly all the time. Styx's "Half-Penny, Two-Penny" has a phrase that leaps to mind quite often when reading news. "Justice for money, what can you say? We all know it's the American Way." and also "Justice for money, how much more can I pay? We all know it's the American Way." And when that leaps to mind the rest of the song follows. Forever (or so it seems)...

Now I have part of a sample from a cocorosie song, 'I got a... Ready to drop' but I'm pretty sure I only started that today. Before it was a different song but I've forgotten

Coincidentally, the Perry Bible Fellowship guy just posted a new comic that's very related:

Linkin Park's In the End but the MIDI version

I think the most persistent earworm I've ever had is Elliott Smith's Son of Sam, which has been constantly popping into my head the last 17 years or so. I'm not even sure I think it's his objectively best song, but it's the one that's been most earwormy for sure. Usually pops into my head when I shower.

There are a handful of songs that will take over my internal radio station if I hear them. The first to come to mind is Surf Music by Paul Williams... no, not that Paul Williams. The one from Taskmaster NZ.

At the moment it's Ma Meilleure Ennemie by Stromae, which was used in the Arcane series. I'm also not into what's viral on social media because I'm not on there much, but I just recently heard Million Dollar Baby by Tommy Richman on a Wingstop commercial, which was apparently viral on tiktok last year. It's a pretty good callback to classic '90's r&b, which caught my attention.
