I got one yesterday by merely glancing at one of the "Oddly Enough" headlines on my Yahoo! page:

Video Creates a UFO Stir

Y'all can figure out on your own exactly what song it gave me as an earworm (hint: the meter of the chorus fits the headline fairly well).

Is it because you don't know the reference or don't know the song enough? You won't escape!! ;-)

Neither; I just seem to be immune from acquiring it as an earworm. Now if you'd asked "Where can you see lions?", I'd be doooooooomed. :-D

Okay, either I'm just dense, or I'm missing the reference here. :-)
