RE: earworms:
 
This gets lodged in my head once in awhile, but I don't recommend singing it out loud on the bus:
 
"a caveman could a saint become..."
 
great lines, but strange when decontextualized.
 
Mainly instrumental guitar bits get stuck like porridge like
that gorgeous and simple little turnaround in Now Or Neverland - e,g#,e,d,a,g#,e,d,a - I've probably logged a hundred hours of whistling time between that and the chord progression/licks in Progress and Trugannini .....mmmmm....crunchy.....
 
Happy earworms!

Are there any earworms in the Oils songs? - Beth
