earworm

there's a german expression about those tunes that loop themselves in our brain, playing over and over, if we want them to or no. that phrase in english is 'earworm' and i've had the song below 'ghosts' by the u.k. electro outfit ladytron on continuous play since i saw the video for the song on mtv2 last night. don't know much about ladytron except that they took their name from an old roxy music song and the singer sounds quite a bit like a sexy stan ridgeway of the '80s new wave band wall of voodoo. i can't get this song out of my head. it's stuck and i think the only cure is to pick up the album. help!!!
