No song gets stuck in my head more than Combine Harvester by The Wurzels. I had a copy of Farming Simulator 19 and thought it would be perfect for this song. Had a lot of fun driving around and buying a bunch of harvesters! Performed on my soprano ukulele, Princess. I think I'm getting a little better at this video editing stuff.

Tu vuò fà l'americano
I've done songs in Italian before, but this is the first one in Neapolitan.
I learnt it yesterday because one of my students wanted me to teach it him; having found himself humming it all last week, after watching “The Talented Mr Ripley”, so I guess it must count as an earworm.
It turns out that it’s kind of a cross between those two other notorious earworms, “Those Were The Days” (in the verses) and “Start Wearing Purple” (chorus), so no wonder it got stuck in his head.

Code:
Neapolitan original Italian translation
Puorte 'e cazune cu nu stemma arreto. Porti i calzoni con uno stemma dietro.
Na cuppulella cu 'a visiera aizata. Un cappellino con la visiera alzata.
Passe scampanianno pe' Tuleto, Passi facendo rumore in via Toledo,
comm'a nu guappo1, pe' te fá guardá. come un guappo1, per farti guardare.
Tu vuó' fá ll'americano, Tu vuoi far’ l'americano
'mmericano, 'mmericano. americano, americano.
Siente a me, chi t'ho ffa fá? Ascoltami, chi te lo fa fare?
Tu vuoi vivere alla moda, Tu vuoi vivere alla moda,
ma se bevi "Whisky and Soda", ma se bevi "Whisky and Soda,
po' te siente 'e disturbá. poi ti senti male.
Tu abballe 'o "Rock and Roll", Tu balli il "Rock and Roll",
Tu giochi a "Baisibol". Tu giochi a "Baseball".
Ma 'e solde p''e Ccamel, Ma i soldi per le Camel,
chi te li dá? chi te li dà?
La borsetta di mammá! La borsetta di mamma!
Tu vuó' fá ll'americano, Tu vuoi far’ l'americano
mmericano, mmericano, americano, americano,
ma si' nato in Italy. ma sei nato in Italy.
Siente a me, nun ce sta niente 'a fá. Ascoltami, non c'è niente da fare.
Okay, Napulitá. Okay, Napolitan.
Tu vuó' fá ll'american. Tu vuoi far l'americano.
Tu vuó' fá ll'american. Tu vuoi far l'americano.
Ma pecchè? Ma perchè?
Comme te pò capí chi te vò' bbene, Come ti può capire chi ti vuole bene,
si tu lle parle mmiezo americano? se tu le parli mezzo americano
Quanno se fa ll'ammore sott''a luna, Quando fai l'amore sotto la luna
comme te vene 'ncapa 'e dí: "I love you"? come ti viene in mente di dire: "I love you"?
Tu vuo' fá ll'americano,... Tu vuoi far’ l'americano, ...
1. guappo – wide boy/gangster (from Sp. guapo).

Linda's always on a loop with me. Incredible voice, it's awful that she can no longer sing due to Parkinson's. I've never heard another singer who can absolutely kill it in so many genres: country, pop, rock, latin, operetta, American standards.

Gee, when I think earworms I think of Call Me Maybe by Carly Jepson, or Let It Go from Frozen
Argggg... now they'll be stuck in my head all day

Season 435 - Wrap
Thank you for great songs and for inspiring each other! Some new earworms were found and some half forgotten ones woke up during the week.
Here is a short wrap video with prize drawing and a Midsummer Night earworm from Finland
The furry Fortunas decided that the tiny token prizes go to
