Curse you, Sir Paul!

This actually isn't a thread about his bass playing, but about his incomparable melodic genius... specifically his ability to create infernal "earworms."
One afternoon last week, I listened to "Abbey Road", and ever since then, I've been haunted every waking minute by "Maxwell's Silver Hammer." Not "Because" (my choice for the most profound song on the album), not "Here Comes the Sun" or "Something" or anything in the medley, but "Maxwell's [%$#^&*] Hammer!"
I once jokingly complained to a friend about the perils of waking up to the clock radio playing "My Love", "Uncle Albert" or "A Wonderful Christmastime", because it seals the fate of your day... your brain will surely be consumed by them.
Thanks a LOT, Paul. ;);)
