Weirdest way to be earwormed ever...

The door to the place I go to do yoga has developed a squeak. It didn't have a squeak on Monday, but today it does. While donning coat and shoes, ready to leave, I heard it repeatedly. A loud, scrapey, two-note squeak.

Which hits exactly the interval of the first two notes of the theme tune to Antiques Roadshow :(

Do you watch (and admit to watching) Antiques Roadshow? I saw a trailer where some antique presenter wore antique specs on the tip of his antique nose.

Nah, I don't really watch telly at all. My parents watch Antiques Roadshow, though, so it was a Sunday tea-time staple when I was growing up (and I still see it there occasionally).

The local Maplin has a sounder on the door to the stockroom. It also sounds two notes, and in this case it's the same interval as the first two notes of Michael Nyman's Fish Beach.

And now I have it as well. Ta for that.
Mind I got earwormed the other day by a bird outside our house whose whistle is eerily similar to the opening riff of 'Eye of the Tiger'

Recently I was earwormed by Blur's Essex Dogs... by a vibrator.  *blush*
