Oh, no, no no, don't thank me when I haven't done nearly enough.

I never even watched the show, but the theme from "Dallas" pops into my head fairly frequently.

I never really watched the show, but the theme song from Gilligan's Island lurks in my head. It's had only two uses for me. It was suggested at a filk sing as the melody to sing the Robert Heinlein song "The Green Hills of Earth"
I've also pointed out to people that they probably know it and it's an example of how we waste neurons lavishly....

I have a carol, unidentifiable and not heard this Christmas. It has a syncopated tune and is probably by John Rutter (not the Shepherd's Pipe Carol), but I haven't sung it myself and the choir which did obviously didn't make the words clear.
It's pleasant, for an earworm, but irritating, because I want to be able to join in.

No, that's not it - but there are definite similarities. It sounds more dancey than that - which makes me wonder if it's his setting of "Tomorrow shall be my Dancing Day". I have the Star Carol playing while typing, and am glad to have heard it.

John Gardner's setting Tomorrow shall be my Dancing Day, not Rutter's, which is the traditional tune.
And the verses aren't very clear, but the chorus is - but I suspect my memory has left the words attached to the old tune. This one is more likely to make one get up and dance, though.
Thank you for the YouTube prompt. Without it, i wouldn't have found it.

There are other versions in YouTube - Kings at Cambridge I don't think has got it. Too smooth. I was going to say it needed the female voices, but Westminster Abbey does it well.
This investigation, of course, has set the worm in well and truly.

Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band do a good version of "Tomorrow shall be my dancing day"
[tangent]We sang "While Shepherds watched" a la Carnival Band this morning.[/tangent]

I hope it was the Yorkshire Anthem - sung to the tune of Ilkley Moor/

Very odd occurrence - alternating with Dancing Day I have been hearing "Gossip Calypso". I hadn't heard it for ages, and the subject didn't seem to relate to anything in my life. My brain sometimes comes up with suggested soundtracks to current events, but it didn't seem relevant to anything. And then, in the last half hour, I found myself listening to a Radio 4 programme about gossip, which played a clip from the song. It wasn't a repeat from earlier in the week. Peculiar.
