Weird that I've got an earworm of Black Sabbath's "Paranoid" given that I don't even know the whole song.
It seems that happens to me most often when I don't know the whole song. I'll get a snippet on repeat, and then it gets stuck there. - Jennifer Dittrich
that occasionally happens to me with "War Pigs". - Hieronymous Boosh
Bingo, Jen. It's usually just a couplet or two for me and from groups I don't know very well. - Spidra Webster

just got earwormed by a former bandmate, we used to cover this about...21 years ago. :P - Hieronymous Boosh
sadly, our singer couldn't get close to Doug Pinnick's voice and delivery. more like a cross between Jim Morrison and Peter Murphy...which was interesting but very odd. - Hieronymous Boosh
happy to say i totally nailed the guitar parts and sounds for this at the time. - Hieronymous Boosh

Peter Jones Dead: Crowded House Drummer Dies of Brain Cancer at 45 - Spinner
"Peter Jones, a British-born drummer best known for his mid-1990s stint in the Australian rock band Crowded House, has died of brain cancer, according to numerous websites. He was 45. Jones joined in 1994, after founding drummer Paul Hester quit the group. He stayed on until 1996, when the band split up, but did not return a decade later, when New Zealand-born frontman Neil Finn reunited the hit-making foursome. "We remember him as a warm-hearted, funny and talented man, who was a valuable member of Crowded House," the band said in a statement. "He played with style and spirit. We salute him and send our love and best thoughts to his family and friends." This is not the first time the group -- famous for the hits "Something So Strong" and "Don't Dream It's Over" -- has lost a drummer. In 2005, Paul Hester, the man Jones replaced, committed suicide following a bout with depression." - Hieronymous Boosh from Bookmarklet
