Earworm

Last night's episode of "Divorce" on HBO featured the song "Magnet & Steel" by Walter Egan. I haven't heard that song in many years.

I remember the first time I heard it. I lived in Germany at the time, and I was listening to Casey Kasem's American Top 40 on Armed Forces Radio. This song immediately got my attention. Even though I was no more than 15 years old at the time, and was far from sophisticated, I thought "Wow, these are the worst lyrics I've ever heard."

You are the magnet. And I am the steel.

Now thanks to HBO's Divorce, I can't get the stupid song out of my head.
