I get earworms frequently, and over half the time I don’t know why.

So earlier this afternoon a song from The Gap Band, “You Dropped a Bomb on Me,” popped into my head.

And in this case, I figured that I knew exactly why that song was in my head, because it was so obvious.

I watched the movie “Blast From The Past” a couple of weekends ago. (Surprising, I know.)

That movie had an extensive soundtrack - everything from an early 1970s Randy Newman song, “Political Science,” to the predictable choice of R.E.M.’s “It’s the End of the World As We Know It,” to “Y.M.C.A.” because why not?

So I checked the soundtrack...

...and The Gap Band song was NOT on the soundtrack. 

Of course, the famous song from the Laziest Men on Mars (including the line “somebody set us up the bomb”) didn’t appear either.
