October Grab-Bag Walrus: Game 1 - Page 3 - Puzzles and Other Games Forum

There was a short story about a kid named Homer who worked at a donut shop and the jukebox played some song and then you literally couldn’t get it out of your head until you passed it on to someone else. I think they called it an ear worm in the story.

earworm (Ohrwurm) is literally the German word for a song stuck in your head.

You listen to the songs I sent you over and over again (I just click each link and add to a YouTube walrus playlist) and then you rank them from 1-9

Once you have ranked them, you’ll post them in thread with your thoughts, usually from 9 to 1

We’ll add up everyone’s place from all the reveals and lowest score will win (since you get 1 point for 1st and 9 for 9th)

Listen over the course of ~2 weeks. Rank songs based on some combo of:
- listening enjoyment
- category fit
- if you knew it already or not

Reveal rankings + comments in thread.

A note to two of you:

One of the links I received was to a Simpson's episode (Sunday School). I simply looked up the official music video for the song. I hope you recognize who you are from that.

One of the links was to a non-available video, so I found what seems to be an equivalent video for the song by band PPP.

If either submitter thinks that I need a different video to the ones I found, please contact Nich asap.
